“So, what is the fuse that sets off the powder keg?”

I honestly believe that there will be some kind of “manufactured” national tragedy that the government will use to convince people to agree to much stricter gun control. This will of course lead to tighter and tighter restrictions until eventually, the people who are pro-freedom will be in such a minority that the gov’t will feel emboldened enough to completely ban all/most firearms. Then the gov’t will be free to label those with guns as “terrorists” and there will be Gitmo type gulags all over this country.

Kind of a stretch, but what the heck, just as valid as my lil ol pinion.

Obozo could draw up an executive order tomorrow that would institute an assault weapons ban. Limit mag capacity, limit amount of weapons purchases per month, ban online ammo sales and institute a stiff tax on all guns and ammo.

This, he could do...immediately. Seeing as executive orders have a shelf life, they would work through the U.N. and or congress to craft legislation or treaty (via U.N.) crippling the private gun industry worldwide.

Lastly, Obozo certainly has his eye on the supreme court. Yet one more avenue to ensure an enduring war on the 2nd amendment.

Not a pretty picture from where I sit.

You could be right, the question that comes to me is this. What kind of tragedy could be so BIG and so Mind and Opinion changing to convince the population to go along with the repeal of the 2nd amendment?

Bigger than the weekly slaughter that happens in Chicago or any of the big cities? An assassination plot? We’ve had those too and they couldn’t get their gun control.

There really is a reason that the country is arming, just remember that.

Just a reminder that we were discussing what it would take to get Obama, Holder and the other Gun-grabbers the excuse to eliminate the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns.

It looks that they are going to open up with the Newtown Ct. School tragedy.
