Gun Frenzy: Photos Show How Quickly Stores Across the Nation Are Selling Out: “Lines Out the Door”
SHTF Plan ^ | 12/22/12 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 12/22/2012 3:22:13 PM PST by Kartographer

After nationwide calls to ban assault rifles and high-capacity magazines following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Americans concerned about the government’s coming move to restrict the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession of firearms deemed too dangerous to be in the hands of private citizens are cleaning out gun stores from coast to coast.

While some retailers have made the decision to suspend sales and stop selling certain firearms altogether, others are seeing sales skyrocket to never before seen levels. Parking lots are packed and hopeful shoppers are waiting hours for their chance to get their hands on weapons, parts and magazines that may soon be banned under Federal mandates.

All the Christian "zealots", including myself, that I know are heavily armed and would not turn in anyone. In fact, they would be the backbone of any resistance movement.

That is why the petty tyrant in our White House is afraid of real Americans - the ones who cling to God and to guns. I pray daily that America will make it through four more terrible years as a free country and without a second civil war. It's a good thing that God is in the miracle business.

So everyone needs to sell their weapons.

Failure to turn in a weapon and thus becoming a felon passively by default is certainly something to be concerned about;

How many otherwise law abiding citizens are armed in states where concealed carry is deemed illegal or severely restricted?

The question is is our government prepared both in will and in resources to handle from a law enforcement standpoint millions upon millions of citizens becoming felons overnight or atleast in a short time?

I don't believe those in favor of people control are dumb enough to attempt it. They will try other angles. I won't mention them because I don't want to give the morons any ideas.

You, however.....

LOL! I scared the catz laughing so hard.

I've never claimed sanity. I do, however, have useful skillsets, don't make messes in the house, and sometimes wear pants.

Waco tied up a huge amount of their resources, I’m guessing, and they’re pushing now for thousands of simultaneous Wacos - not feasible, IMHO. Time will tell.

Such a “mass felonization” would make a large percentage of Republicans ineligible to vote.

many believe they are gearing up for something big.

Many believe the US government planned, financed and executed 9/11. Many believe the Newtown, Ct. slaughter was committed by more than a single shooter using government instituted mind control.

Not nearly enough feddies to cover the US. Less than one in 100. We outnumber the guards, rush 'em and take the guns!

Would you have believed in 2007, the year before Hussein was elected, that we would actually be discussing the feds taking away our guns? I think, in 2007, we would never have believed this possibility could happen.

Just think of George Bush and Cheney saying we have to give up our guns or even one particular gun or one type clip/magazine. No way would they have allowed this to happen. I can see Cheney in full charge getting rid of that idea.

The idea of taking our guns makes me want to buy some more just to spit in their eye.

I don’t fume at the world brother I just point out stupidity where I can.

Gun threads on FR have gotten to be fertile ground lately.

I remember conversations back in 1970 about that. We (gun owners) are in a much better place than we were back then.

Those that I know, Marshals/FBI/BP, would refuse to participate.

“....a neighborhood watch that rewards snitches and religious Christian zealots.”

How do you put those two in the same sentence? And what do you consider a “zealot”? Most Bible-believing Christians I know are also gun-toting patriots.

Are you even from this country?

It ain't gonna stop. Regardless of what you or I think. Personally, I'm not trying to sneak around and hide anything I'm doing. My kids are grown and gone, the grandkids have at least met me, and have pictures with me and them, and I'm old enough I don't really care who I piss off. And I don't own a boat.

Anyway... the double shot from somewhere in Tennessee and a Merry Christmas are appropriate. ;)

“Such a “mass felonization” would make a large percentage of Republicans ineligible to vote.”

I was thinking about confiscation of weapons and wonder if each county, based on party affiliation, would make a difference in confiscating guns?

Like my county is about 98% Republican. This is a “Bubba” county in the extreme. Every friend a cop has is a Bubba. Every official in this county is a Republican and all their friends are big gun owners. It seems to me it would be difficult for law enforcement to give in to taking guns from people in this county.

Everyone think about your county. If you live in a very liberal county you could be turned in to the cops by those liberals and the cops might relish taking your guns. They could just prance from house to house taking conservative’s guns, MAKING THEIR COUNTY “SAFE”.

Do you live among conservatives or liberals? If it is liberals, are you thinking about getting out of Dodge with your guns and going to a county where everyone loves their guns?

Does it make a difference or not?
