I think there is a case to be made there that this provision is an end run around the 1934 National Firearm act and, therefore, possibly unconstitutional.

So who is gonna adjudicate that? Oh, that's right - a supreme court stuffed with leftists, once HRC is president. Good luck.

I just hope I don’t get that urge to go boating after I replace the firearms I used to have. I’ve had the worst luck . . .

DC could probably take control remotely and either render them inert or launch them themselves. I’d certainly have that kind of contingency installed. How would they be accessed anyway?

The precedent for secession is civil war. I prefer expulsion because there is no precedent.

Expel the most liberal parts of our country, and let them fend for themselves. Many of them are rich, but that is money looted from America’s Heartland and other working Americans. Start with DC, Hawaii, Maryland (my residence, sadly), Vermont, California, Massachusetts, and continue down the list starting with the most liberal until the remainder is a reliably law-abiding free country rather than the socialist hellhole that Hillary wants to inflict on us.

I don’t care whether we expel ten sates and forty stay, or the reverse. What matters is leaving a country that honors the literal Constitution and that can pass strict laws on immigration and banning government involvement with the greed and envy of liberal class warfare instigators. We’ll see if the expelled states come crawling back after all their productive people flee to the free states, begging us to take them on our terms (with the literal Constitution and limited government) or not. I’m okay either way.

I just had to call on Griffin Rev45 I ordered back in March. I can expect to have it in January I’m told. :(

What do you have coming?

If the Democrats take the Congress and White House and this bill is introduced, expect it to fail or be withdrawn! Then there will suddenly be a mass killing in which the shooter will use an AR-15. The shooter will conveniently also kill himself or be shot dead. The bill will quickly be brought out and passed before you can get your pants on!

This is how California got their anti-gun laws passed after the Stockton shootings.

***They have no inkling the damage a competent rifleman with an old bolt-action***

Yes they do! This is why Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar called for a ban on the import of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles. They got their ban in 1968.

Actually they wanted the ban to protect local high dollar industries, Remington, Winchester, Savage from cheap $10.00 imported rifles.

As soon as it becomes apparent that anything resembling confiscation is about to begin, THOSE WHO GIVE THE ORDERS must have sudden “accidents” or just disappear. Learn who and where they are NOW, their homes, workplaces, travel habits, recreation. Once it has started, they’ll be well hidden.

Won’t be a new civil war in my view but rather a low intensity insurgency.

As per my post #52. Cut off the head and the snake will die.

Car license plates are being scanned at gun shows. You can assume that BATF is not deleting information on people who pass background checks, in violation of law. Probably a database on people who buy ammo with a credit card.Probably a database on those who post on gun forums or anti-democrat forums. If this is true, the trick will be for many, many to recognize the trap before the progressives spring it.

We could have done something about this 10, 15, even 20 years ago, but we were too fat dumb and happy, repeating the mantra, "oh, that'll never happen."

We're about one hair away from it happening. When it does, it's gonna be bloody and a lot of us won't survive it. All because we didn't, as Churchill said, fight when victory was certain.

Our laziness and complacency is going to get a lot of good Americans killed.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
