Amid talk of reinstating the assault weapons ban that expired eight years ago, police departments nationwide are thinking of ways to confiscate such weapons.

As WCBS 880’s Marla Diamond reported, among the departments considering taking action is the NYPD. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said if Congress were to reinstate the ban, police are wondering whether it will be their responsibility to confiscate them.

New York is a foreign place full of foreign people, hardly assimilated to Protestant America. So is the California that so many of them migrated to. So are other states that allow them in.

Which is why it would not be too bright to fight them in your home.

Better to take the fight to them in outside areas that would give you the advantage.

If it starts to go down and I get wind of it, I will not be behind a door. High ground and cover with a good field of view.

I think that’s why Barry put Uncle Joe BiteMe in charge of the project. Barry knows it ain’t going anywhere.

Don't underestimate "Uncle Joe's" capabilities when it comes to spreading lies and getting plainly unconstitutional legislation passed. Don't forget he was one of the "3 stooges of gun control," the other two being Howard Metzenbaum and John Chafee. They were the driving forces behind the gun control bill of 1986, which outlawed the sale of new full auto firearms to the public, something that was never a problem in the first place. They were also among the driving forces behind the Brady bill, and were fully supportive of the national coalition to ban handguns, as well as any other gun control group out there.

If not for the ministry of propaganda, Biden, one of the biggest boors, and one of the greatest idiots in the senate, would have been forced out of office decades ago. He would have been made one of the greatest laughing stocks in history had he been either a republican or conservative. And like Harry Reid, he's a bully, though it's thoroughly covered up by the ministry. Don't underestimate him.

I believe Bloomie and Kelly should volunteer to become the first U.S. City and Police Deptartment to fully disarm and set an example by destroying all the Weapons of the Police Department. That would show their sincerity on the issue!

After all, they believe that a law will stop crazy behavior. Look how all Murders have ceased since a law was passed outlawing Murder!

LOL!

“Their arrows will be so thick they will block out the sun!”

“Then we will fight in the shade.”

For all the high tech, impenetrable stuff our military is so proud of, and despite the fact that almost all our adversaries have been little third world hell holes that equip their troops with the most unsophisticated arms, we haven’t really fought to a clear, unconditional surrender victory in any conflict since WWII, except, perhaps, Grenada.

The article is more hack media sensationalism nonsense. The only mention of possible confiscation was by Gov. Cuomo for New York. Now it’s the whole country? How did they jump to that conclusion? In addition, not enough police, military to force martial law, logistics would require foreign troops.

Also, in case the statist lib loons haven’t got the memo, any ban or further restrictions on gun rights will be ignored.

From the former Constitutional militia leader who broke Fast n Furious scandal:

“Whatever bill passes, if it passes, and it contains any of the above we are obliged to disobey it — obnoxiously and flagrantly. If they ban hi-cap magazines, we must make more, sell existing ones openly; if they ban private sales, we must hold our own no-check gun shows; if they ban even one type of semi-auto military pattern rifle, we must build our own “assault weapons” in contravention of the odious act. We must anger the powers that be to the point where THEY come at US. No Fort Sumters on our part. Let them kill us if they want to work their will upon us. After that, and only after that, it becomes the time of 4th Generation Warfare and One Hundred Heads.
And, although this is not the way to bet, if we make all that plain ahead of time, perhaps they will get the message and back off. May God grant it to be so.”

“Realistically you can expect to be facing an entry team fully covered in body armor rated to stop 5.56 and 7.62 russian and behind a ballistic shield rated for those rounds or better.”

Unless they have goggles to protect their eyes their permanently blind in a heartbeat. And with IR, you can’t see it. Your lights just go out... Your eye doesn’t even blink to protect it self. It just stops working.

Yes it was, and pre-ban guns brought a premium, even though the “post-ban” guns were only cosmetically different.

They can’t live in those vehicles. They have no idea what they will have started if it comes to that.

They might be able to renew the stupid ban(which didn’t work anyway), but if they try confiscation, that’s a whole new ball game.

i suspect if they try it won’t be very long before there aren’t any officers left on the police force in working condition.

“thinking of ways”? They had best be thinking of how to tell the feds to f*** off.
