When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over

"When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over"

I would ask:

If the American people are simply going to hand over their guns then WHY all the petty gun control bans?

Why worry about "high capacity magazines" or "military style assault weapons"?

What are "they" so afraid of?

why haven't "they" collected all the guns already?

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

And that’s how you know that SOME of the recent so-called ‘random’ shootings are staged as the precursor for justifying such bans. The shootings the government REALLY wants us to never forget are the ones with bright, fluorescent hair involved.

The New Orleans police took off like scalded dogs during and after Katrina. That's a big city police department, isn't it? I don't recall the LAPD rushing in to quell the Rodney Simpson riots, that took Korean shop-owners and their employees. Even as far back as Watts, nobody was in any hurry to risk their lives suppressing insurrection. And you know the LAPD of that day was chock full of World War II and Korean War veterans who'd seen the elephant. Are a bunch of the Desert Storm/Iraq/Afghanistan veterans wearing blue or brown today? Sure, isolated incidents can be handled easily by paramilitary SWAT teams and the like (see Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc.) but wholesale, full-scale rebellion? There aren't enough police and military in the whole wide world to suppress even 10 million armed civilians, many of them veterans, hunters, fishermen, shooting sports enthusiasts, security guards, outdoorsman and/or a combination of those, much less 50 or 100 million. Just the DEER HUNTERS in this country would constitute the largest standing army in the world, by a factor of 5 or more. Think about it: 25 million armed men & women, most of whom have high-powered rifles with scopes, camouflage gear, ATVs, camps, knowledge of their locale and wood sense.

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

How many of those Marines said that because they believed it and how many of them said that because they knew they’d be punished if they said otherwise? Questions on a piece of paper and actions on the field are two different things.

Also, the fact that even countries like Nazi Germany and the USSR had to create special political armies to deal with their civilian populations should say how much the military enjoys being used as a politician’s bully boys.

[RWB Patriot]

Where does that traditional soldier end up when he’s driven out?

How much loyalty do you think he’ll have to the government that forced him out?

Finally, if soldiers are being chosen nowadays for their political correctness rather than their combat skills, who does that give the advantage too?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Many of the S.A. and S.S. were people cashiered from the military for thievery, lassitude, mental problems, moral turpitude, cowardice, homosexuality, incompetence and other infractions, just like many members of the Gestapo were former policeman let go during the Weimar Republic for similar reasons. Now we're celebrating homosexual/lesbian general officer promotions.

I was looking for that exact passage several weeks ago but couldn’t remember who had said it. Powerful! Every schoolboy should be required to read it to graduate to middle school.

Here where I live, the cops are 0.2 percent of the population. Odds are not in the favor of the local cops. If the local cops side with the federals, their odd increase a little. Yes they have more fire power than the population, but most don't have the will to serve a dictator. At some point their lives and neighbors are worth more to them than their pensions. Paranoia is no way to go through life.

You only will NEED to get ONE. All additional will be bonus, there are still enough freedom lovers to kick the statists asses when they crack down.

This Jim Karger clown has no idea what a neo con is. Neo’s are as gun shy as libs are. Most love gun control as in they would never own a gun. Think Bill Kristol and his dad who was a big time Neocon. I’m thinking this Karger guy just likes the sound of the word.

FYI...

May 10, 1994 "Combat Arms Survey" administered to 300 active-duty Marines at the USMC's Air-Ground Combat Center, Twenty-Nine Palms, California

This is the same government that LOST MONEY selling hookers and booze when it ran the Mustang Ranch...

I don’t believe there is a level of incompetence higher than that.

[Waryone]

I should have read through the entire thread before I posted. You already had it covered.

people like karger never did get it and never will

[2ndDivisionVet]

It’s usually the liberal/libertarian codeword for “Jew” and/or “Chickenhawk” meaning those who talk a good game but never wore a uniform. How that applies to the vast majority of American gun-owners I have no idea.

[The Cajun]

Well heck, a lot of us are old men, you know what can happen if you get into a fight with an old man who been shooting, practicing, hunting for better than 50 years and figures he hasn't that much quality time left anyway (Old age just don't get better :^)..........Just saying.

[tet68]

People like Karger will be the ones to rat out
their neighbors as the “right” think to do.

[S.O.S121.500]

BIG talk...small thought.

First they close the highways...
Shut down the rails...
Switch off the electricity...
Turn off the natural gas...
Blow up the odd overpass or tunnel...

Let the local parasites do their “thing” for a few days, you get rid of a certain amount of ammo and work up a real thirst and serious hunger, and then here comes ‘Uncle Sugar’ to trade for information.

WE have screwed the pooch....Kapisch?
