I applaud Dean Garrison for having the guts to say what needs to be said. We need more right-wing pundits, bloggers, and yes, Republican politicians, to stand up and say the same.

I say fight. But remember to choose your battles.

It’s critically important that the government fear it’s citizenry.

This government has created so many dependent citizens that there is no longer any fear.

Fighting the machine may feel good, but it will end up with results similar to Irwin Schiff.

I will fire upon any government representative who attempts to usurp my liberty, even if that means my own death. I have no problem saying it. My soul is prepared.

I believe that’s up to the individual...and the odds of actually living through it and not spending the rest of your life at someplace like Gitmo. Do you really want to kill some cop or military member that may have a family and is just obeying his CO? I don’t how I would feel firing at someone wearing the same uniform I once did.

And to be clear, the right to keep and bear arms PREDATES THE CONSTITUTION. This right existed before any government decided to recognize it.

This is a fundamental human right. To defend oneself from violence and death from any attacker in any numbers. It is a God-given right that is inherently derived from the God given right of a person to live without being murdered by others, or violently assaulted and injured.

And please don’t fall for thse who equate all killing with murder. All murderers by definition, kill. Not all killings are murders. There is justified killings. In the case of self-defense. In the case of protecting others, and your property. If you run into someone who refuses to understand the difference, cut your losses early and just let em go, they are not smart enough to discuss this with or they know the difference but don’t care and are just pushing your buttons.

Sadly, our elected officials no longer represent our interests.

Not only do you have the responsibility when they come for your guns, you have the responsibilty to fight when they come for your neighbors

There is nothing left of the Republicans in the House or the Senate to avoid a full civil war. The communists training within the American people and the complete system will force what is left to fight. Lock and load. Confiscate of our weapons will result in a total loss of civilian control and we will slip into a total dictatorship.

Silly. If they come, we’ll know ahead of time. My guns will be in locations unknown to them. they aren’t going to come back every month. I’ll keep one cheapie around for protection that they can have.

Of course, I don’t live in a city, I have room to hide things where they won’t be found.

I predict, they will not come for your guns. They don’t have the numbers to get it done. The method they will use is quite simple and requires very few people to be effective: it will work something like this; deadlines for turning in registered guns will be set and if citizens fail, first fine is $5000, second failure $10,000 etc. The have the power to electronically remove funds from your security accounts with a few keystrokes on a remote computer—this means from your checking account, savings, or by wage garnishment. This is how they will work it. Very few will be willing to go all in cash, and when you do withdraw more than 10K, current laws require reporting. I guarantee taking your money, wages, property will be a very powerful incentive to submit. Think about how to escape this tyranny—these bastar*s will kill you with swat teams if you resist. They have all the latest technology in their favor.

I have to chuckle at this. By in large, Gov't does not forcefully have to take the weapons and arms of the individual.

As a whole, Americans comply with the law. So Gov't creates laws to control the sheep.

We already have enough laws on the books to take guns away. There aren't many people who stand against gun permits, and other controls on weapons. As a American, we don't need a permit to carry or have a gun. Nor should there be any restriction on any such weapon. Yet, will still as a whole, comply. Class III, FFL, lol.

Even criminals are outlawed and prevented from having a gun in most cases! Even a criminal should have the basic right to defend themselves. As we create more laws, we will have more criminals. The police state will create a criminal out of everyone. Throw in medication and other 'things' that in the future will prevent you from getting a gun.

By force, lol.

The question I always have when this debate comes up is how will they find them...

Guns..what guns?

I don’t care if 99% of people are in support of gun bans (which is far from the case), it is a violation of our constitutional rights, plain and simple.

And if that 99% of people decide to change the constitution to ban guns? Then what? It would no longer be unconstitutional at that point. If this country keeps moving left at the speed it is now, there might soon be sizable pro-gun control majorities that support doing exactly that.

Right this moment there is no chance of that happening, but the speed of ideological left transformation we are going through is very rapid. Obama is most definitely fundamentally changing this nation, and like it or not the majority of Americans like and support him. Hussein got socialized medicine through when even FDR failed, and won an election after doing it. If he puts effort into banning guns, there is no reason to think that in a few years the majority of elected officials won't go along. So what then?

Obama doesn’t care about guns. He cares about shooting his mouth off and keeping his leftist base under control.

The Obama pattern is set. He talks big, promises big, and then pushes congress to pass something that accomplishes nothing and he will sign it and call it good.

Nobody is coming for your guns except garden variety criminals. The govt doesn’t want that fight.

I have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States against threats Foreign and Domestic.... many times. I have been sworn in in the Army and several Federal jobs. My Ancestry is Patriots against Britain and also Kings and Queens of England and Europe. I imagine fighting to the end but I know I will be better served to ask GOD for guidance.

This country was built on the right to bear arms. It was built on the rights of an individual to bear arms, regardless of what his government or neighbor happened to think. This is crystal clear. Ironically the people who voice their opinions against this right have their free speech protected by your guns.

Being elected president does not mean that he has the power to go against our constitutional rights. Our inalienable

rights. . . .

Damn powerful article. Too bad we have to cringe in worry for someone who merely recites our Constitution.

The only question I have is who has my back. I would not give up my guns no matter what - they would literally be pried from my cold dead fingers. But after that what?

If one tries to prearrange backup you are trying to form a “militia” and get raided. Neighbors can always say they will back you but will they really? After they see the jack boots kill you and burn your house, will the neighbors stand and watch or will they snipe from the roof tops?

I have been quietly arranging my own backup. Nothing in writing, nothing in concrete. My guns have all been sold and hidden away. We practice in private, and discuss in private. Nothing in writing, nothing electronic.

I can only count on a handful of close associates and hope that there are similar small groups forming as all this gun control process works itself out.

Should my neighbors come under attack, I would certainly back them up, but I am not sure about the reverse.
