The Coming National Gun Ban – and How the States Can Resist
American Thinker ^ | 11 Oct, 2016 | Michael Filozof

The law of averages predicts that at some time in the future, perhaps as soon as 2017, the Democratic Party will once again control the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress. When that happens, the next Democratic president -- be it Hillary Clinton or someone else -- will sign into law a sweeping, foreign-style gun ban.

The legislation has already been written. H.R. 4269 would enact a national, permanent ban on the manufacture and sale of so-called “assault weapons” and all firearm magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. The bill, introduced last December, already has149 Democratic co-sponsors (218 are needed to pass the House).

H.R. 4269 would ban all AR-15 and AK-type rifles and all civilian versions of military rifles produced anywhere in the word within the past 60 years or so. The bill would also ban all parts kits, stripped receivers, “bump-fire” stocks, thumbhole stocks, trigger cranks, so-called “compliant” rifles, and “any… characteristic that can function as a [pistol] grip.” Law enforcement is exempt from the bill’s provisions.

Too many of us refuse to even recognize that we have been at war for decades. The bumper sticker is right...the Founding Fathers would have been shooting by now.

Hopefully, now that they're boycotting the NFL, some of the Rip Van Winkles out there are waking up, looking around, and muttering, "...oh crap!"

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!

Civil disobedience will be seen all the more, my prediction.
