Other countries such as Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany & Red China have lived most of their existance in oppressive tyrannical dictatorships or absolute monarchies. It was much easier to finish disarming their own citizens since most of their citizens did not own arms to begin with, and were conditioned to accept registration & confiscation of the remaining guns.
I believe that if or when, it ever comes to armed confrontation, the liberals/lefties/socialists will be severely shocked at the tremendous resistance & push-back against them. At least that is what I hope for, that we will not meekly surrender to the genocidal tyrannical gun-grabbers.
I hear what you are saying - but there are several things not considered in your sentiments:
1. We are NO LONGER the same people our Founders were when they conceived a government that protected Rights they understood came from the Almighty. The necessary ingredient for the kind of liberty they bequeathed to us as a sacred Right, comes from Biblical Religion and Morality. Without those ingredients being practiced by the majority of the people as individuals, liberty as we have known it cannot exist.
2. We have already tolerated incremental disarmament and dictatorial rule for years and decades. It doesn’t matter that we were not raised in a monarchy or dictatorial society - the MAJORITY of average Joe Sixpacks WANTS MarxoFascism and sees Obama as their king or government as the Source of where provision and mandated ‘fairness’ must come from. In layman’s terms - this people traded God for government.
And when a people will not be governed by God, they will be ruled by the tyranny of men - plain and simple FACT.
As to armed resistance - we are being stoked and pushed into it - and if we do not take their bait - they may simply commit atrocity and blame it on the groups they want ‘dealt with’ in the harshest manner possible.
Without God and a return to the moral foundations that we were consecrated for - meaning a national repentance - then I fear there is no chance of successfully resisting what the MarxoFascsists and Obama are doing.
Obama is not interested in power - he is interested in OUR DESTRUCTION so his utopian view can be built from our ashes. Creating anarchy and a bloodbath is EXACTLY what he wants - should we not do so on his timetable - he may create conditions in order for that to happen anyway (Notice the report of Obama approving use of chemical weapons on Syrian rebels and blaming it on Assad ala :Fast & Furious).
We have already surrendered so much - and so many are already comfortable with the MarxoFascist transformation, those of us whom oppose the regime are planned targets for elimination. Guns makes it both an instant confrontation and exactly the chaos and disruption they want so the people will applaud the ‘elimination’ of the problem for the promise of a return to ‘normalcy’.
That’s their game. We have to fight - but we need to be sure to do so at a time and ground of OUR CHOOSING - not the regime’s, and for the RIGHT cause and reason in accord with our own foundation.
