What I want to know is, who will stand and fight them (violently) if it comes to it?
Taking away my right to self-defense, and make no mistake that’s exactly how I see it, is the ONE red line I would never except. And if that means my life, so be it.
I’ve heard of the 3%’rs but I’m a bit skeptical. What’s needed are organized gun owners that are neighborhood based all over the country. For example. Assume Feds move in to try to confiscate firearms from a gun owner...a beacon could go out(2 way radio?) that would effectively “summon” other neighborhood gun owners to show up and surround the Feds who are trying to surround said gun owners home. Fanciful? Weird? Doable? We have to start somewhere.
Can’t answer that question on this forum.
I cannot find a reason to answer your question on an open and public forum - it’s not exactly a soup question.
It won’t come to that. They’re not THAT stupid.
Instead, they’ll pursue a dual strategy of “starvation” and “death by a thousand cuts”.
The Obama can order the BATFE to slow, stall, or stop its facilitation of the arms business. Increase inspections, slow paperwork processing, or just flat out refuse to approve anything needing their approval. NICS stops, FFLs fold up, imports halt ... you can buy whatever you want, but nobody can sell to you retail. Glock, Sig, FN, Wolf, etc - no more imports. I’ve already seen waiting periods take down good stores because the customer base dried up; imagine all “instant” checks failing to process, everyone having to wait 3-5 days. Consider every mandated FFL renewal going unprocessed; businesses expire for lack of one paper.
Sure, you can keep what you have, but no resupply of consumables (ammo), no repairs, nothing new. Private sales still legal, but prices increase 10-100x (see the legal machine gun market).
No door-to-door confiscations, but huge increase in hassling. Federal agencies directed, and other jurisdictions encouraged, to assume all guns contraband until proven otherwise. NY and other states start their gun laws with “all firearms are illegal” then list exemptions; as LEOs are not expected to understand the nuance of laws, just throw anyone found with a gun into a cage and let the courts sort it out.
And of the courts, the Obama just lets cases pile on. Long delays, high costs, frequent rulings in his favor, years before the core problems percolate up to an already-bought Supreme Court.
Thanks, Congress, for handing the 2nd Amendment to a hostile Executive Branch.
