So much for that.

Never give an order that you know won’t be obeyed...

[mmichaels1970]

I believe the whole idea may be to pass so many laws that nobody could possibly obey them all. You could then round up anybody you want at any time.

can't have any officers who'll disregard an UN-Constitutional proclamation.

[Kartographer]

"What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, polkers, or whatever else was at hand?"

This is where our Rule of Law begins to crumble. Our government loses its legitimacy when the citizenry no longer recognizes or respects its authority.

An illigitimate government is destined for a people’s revolt.

When the government can pass laws that make otherwise law abiding citizens criminals, they can enforce them judiciously as they see fit. A Scooter Libby can do jail time whilst a Sandy Burglar gets a dunce hat. A politician can evade taxes while a middle class family man can be jailed for tax filing errors and penalty fee defaults.

They will turn your children and grandchildren into informants in the schools. They will offer big rewards for anonymous leads. They will take your house, car, and savings if you are caught with an illegal gun.

Now, if the government writes laws to confiscate your guns, will you cooperate?

Here’s another factoid: 100% of thugs, gangbangers, criminals and low lives will not comply either. They don’t give a dang about the laws that are currently on the books, nor will they give two hoots about any new ones.

[SENTINEL]

I hope everyone realizes what happened over the last month. Feinstein threatened to NFA everything (de facto confiscation), we got loud, bold, and bought enough firearms to outfit the entire chinese and indian armies.

They rightly got scared and backed down. The bill unveiled today IS NOTHING LIKE as harsh as the one suggested dec 27th.

Well done brothers, this was a good start.

STICK TO YOUR GUNS

[Mat_Helm]

My ancestors have been on American soil before it was a nation, helped fight and bleed for its birth, and fought in many armed struggles since then. My Cherokee blood ancestors were not afraid to die and defend their homeland from invading Europeans. My Scotch and English relatives were not afraid to pull the trigger on King George’s men and German mercenaries. My great great great grandfather stood his ground at Shiloh and Bull Run and was not afraid to pull the trigger on other countrymen. My grand uncles stood their ground and pulled the trigger on Japanese soldiers at Guadalcanal in the Pacific, German soldiers on Utah beach and the Arden forest in WWII, and above Germany in B-17’s with the 8’th AF starring down the Luftwaffe. My USMC Gunny Sgt. Father stood his ground and was not afraid to pull the trigger on Chinese and North Korean communist soldiers, and my cousins were not afraid to pull the trigger on the VC in S. E. Asia with Army special forces and another with the U.S.M.C. 9’th division. My first Scout Master was a Pearl Harbor survivor from the USS California, a year later he was replaced by his friend and fellow Knights of Columbus member, a retired full Army Colonel and veteran of WWII and Korea. I was taught to shoot and hunt and love my country with these men who are mostly gone now. From the grave all of these men cry out to me and say stand your ground. I am not afraid to die for what is right and just. I am not afraid to risk all that I have to defend freedom and preserve the right to bare arms for my children, even if it costs all that I have. Semi auto rifles are already a compromise over what the military troops are armed with in comparison and the 2’nd amendment specifically defends the right and need for me to have it and for my children to have them. The armed citizen is all that stands in defense of freedom and if you tell me that a tyrant could never take over in this nation in 2013, my answer to you would be to ask that question to my Cherokee ancestors, my revolutionary war ancestors, my civil war ancestors, my relatives who fought tyrants and communist forces in this century. Freedom is only a generation from being lost. Not one inch of ground and not one weapon will I give up to anyone that attempts to take them in any fashion while I breath.

Question: Why do Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians pour motor oil on their flower beds?

Answer: They don’t want the guns buried there to rust.

[Billthedrill]

Of course we will. Is there any doubt in anyone's mind? I mean, come on, someone like DiFi is going to say, "Sure, we lied, cheated, demonized you, and did everything we could to get around the Constitution in order to get this passed, but hey, give us your names. You can trust us."

No, I'm afraid that this thing is going to get a lot more unpleasant before it gets better. A large number of liberals react to defiance with rage, especially when they get a taste of power, and will not be reasoned with. This fight is only beginning.
