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.

Questions for the wannabe gun-grabbers: How do you know which of your “confiscators” are on your side or not?

How many of them are “closet conspirators” with the evil populace that will not surrender their guns?

Who can you TRUST to obey orders? Federal agents? Local and state cops? Active military or Reserve or National Guard?

What happens if the "confiscators" side with the citizens and refuse to turn their guns on American citizens?

What if the supposed "safe" confiscators start killing the ones doing the confiscations and murders?

If you start killing those who refuse to surrender their guns, how long do you think you can keep it secret?

The media will spin these operations and murders as positives for the regime, but people aren't stupid. Too many people remember Ruby Ridge and Waco. The MSM tried mightily to spin those but most folks weren't buying the spin (except libs who'll believe anything).

In the event this remotely becomes a realty, make sure to anomalously tip off the police and give as many names and address of unarmed liberal households as possible. Let’s see how they like a 2am raid by the local SWAT team.

I’m sure the MSM would love to see this, but I don’t think even our politicians are that stupid. I expect to see a return of the old AWB, but attempting to confiscate already-owned guns would become a bloodbath, possibly leading to civil war.

Without a repeal of the 2nd amendment to the Constitution,
the NYPD should not act to confiscate arms unless ordered to do so by either the Supreme Court of the United States or the Supreme Court of New York State.

Likely it will fall to the BATF to act.We will have over 50 Wacos.

This is what happens when the citizenry becomes defenseless.
Beslan school massacre, September 2004. Over 380 murdered. Meanwhile liberals ruminate: if only assault weapons were banned and it was a "gun free zone.":

“I could have swore that I heard it was the other way around.”

You did. There was also a report of 1+ men, and a man in camo/vest in the woods. Original reports had the shooter in a mask....

Colorado was terrorism. The person captured said that his apartment “MAY be booby trapped.” May? He is a Lee Harvey Oswald patsy.

I don’t believe ANYTHING we’re hearing about pretty much anything anymore. Our borders are porous. The news is changed with phone calls and WH faxes. The MB infiltration proceeds apace.

I have confessed that I was HAD by the Gulf oil spill terrorism. HAD. It was the dolphins that got me, but those pix were old, as I found out.

We try to warn others who may happen to read our posts, and to gather in some fashion, letting our compatriots know that they are not alone. We know, however, that the long knives are out for the US and for us, too. We are the target and their sworn enemies.

Who stands to benefit from this most recent attack, or, from casting the event as purely a gun-inspired horror? The simplest answer is the best and most obvious. The blood lust of the possible perpetrators is well known to those who wish to consider the possible alternative theories of the crime: theories that, though far less simplistic than a lone gunman, demonstrate the lengths our enemies would go to without batting an eye.

LOL. And they are always telling us that there is no way to round up a few million people here illegally. Yet they are going to go door to door and collect guns from millions more people? Why would they think that could even be feasible? Just more proof that someone is brain dead stupid.

CHECHEN warlord Shamil Basayev claimed yesterday he ordered the Beslan school siege in which 338 children and adults were killed.

And he threatened more violence in his campaign for an independent Chechnya.

The rebel leader said he was behind a wave of attacks in Russia — including the downing of two passenger planes and a Moscow bomb attack that killed 400.

But he denied Russian President Vladimir Putin’s charge of links to al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Basayev said: “I don’t know bin Laden. I don’t get money from him, but I wouldn’t turn it down.”

Figure out how a 110 lb. kid can carry 2 pistols and AR-15 rifle, 300+ rounds of .223 ammo in probably 10+ magazines.

Figure out how carrying up to 50+ pounds of guns, ammo and gear a 110 lb kid can operate like a trained assassin with plenty of strength to operate 3 different guns.

Figure out how the same 110 lb. kid can get off over 200 rounds and shoot some victims 11 times at point blank range with rounds that are traveling at over 3,000 ft./sec.

Figure out how the survivors heard a few ‘pops’ when an AR-15 is very loud weapon even outdoors. In an enclosed building it would be much louder and echo a long way.

Figure out why survivors reported shots after the police arrived and why they passed a man pinned down and handcuffed and why there was at least on person apprehended in the woods next to the school. Figure out why police scanners indicated multiple shooters in the open upon arrival.

Try to figure how a murdered principle gives a statement to the local news organization after the incident.

Try to figure why the AR-15 that was supposedly in the trunk was then IDed as the weapon used.

Then try to figure out what makes sense.
