I suspect that Montana and everyone else will fall in line and do as they are told. There's a lot of chest thumping coming from conservatives regarding new gun control laws, but in the end that is all it is. Conservatives are good at drawing a line in the sand, daring liberals to step over it, and the stepping back another five feet and drawing another line after the libs do step over the first. This has been going on for decades and I don't see any reason it will stop now.

What we're probably looking at is a ban on magazines which can carry more than 10 rounds and maybe even an all out assault weapons ban. Those who are threatening war over gun confiscation will not feel threatened enough by the new laws to doing anything and the water will continue to boil, but at least they can feel like patriots for coming on the internet and typing bravely.

What could would it do? They don’t care about the 2nd or the 10th by themselves, why would they care about them combined?

Really? Where is the evidence that it has had any effect on the feds or even the police? All I can see is that his actions caused the collapse of the militia movement back in the 90s.

Ever wonder why we aren't mentioned in Revelation?

Because there was no United States in the first century when John received the Revelation.

Do you think it will take 200,000,000 million troops to invade the country called Israel (Rev 9:16)? Israel has 7.5 million people. Who do you suppose they're invading?

We are in the Book of Revelations, imho. We are Israel.

Exactly. It's spelled out plainly in Genesis 48 that the name Israel would go to Joseph's sons.

Sheriff Donnie Smith could be and should be removed from office. He holds an elective position and is responsible to the citizens. He took an oath to defend the constitution which he has now violated.

Listening to Sheriff Richard Mack talk the sheriff's responsibility and power might interest you. It is a lesson Donnie Smith must not have learned. The question posed at the 4:00 minute mark is one Mr. Smith would not truthfully answer and stay in office as it is apparent he has already shown his answer. Maybe you know some folks in Washington County who would benefit from this video and in turn stand up for our country.

NOTE: This video was made just weeks after the theater shootings in Aurora and well before the current media fueled hysteria following Sandy Hook.

No kidding.

I wouldn't expect John to say "The United States of America", but I don't think hoping for an oblique reference is too much to ask.

He could have referred to the land of the Eagle, a land not yet known, a nation of immigrants, the new Babel, or any of dozens of phrases that wouldn't be out of place in a first century text, but would grow in meaning to unambiguously (or even, throw me a bone here, ambiguously) refer to us.

We ain't there.

Therefore in the end times, we are irrelevant.

Or The Book is wrong.

Rev 9:16 says 200,000,000, not 200,000,000 million.

Given God and Israel's track record I don't think I'd try it with less than a 25:1 advantage either...

DangerZone said: "This has been going on for decades and I don't see any reason it will stop now."

Some of us have waited "decades" for the Supreme Court to accept a Second Amendment case. The Heller decision in 2008 followed by the McDonald decision in 2010 have set the stage for a recovery from past infringements.

Here in Kalifornia the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals has dragged its feet and tied virtually all of our cases to one ten-year-old case which has evidently been settled with no actual determination of the meaning of the Second Amendment.

I would not characterize the behavior of U.S. citizens as cowardice, but rather we follow the teachings of our Founders. From the Declaration: "... accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. "

A federal so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" was tolerated, knowing that it would expire in ten years. Our patience was rewarded by seeing that it was not renewed.

A so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" was implemented in Kalifornia. It took three different laws to have any effect at all. Some relatively simple work-arounds allow one to keep one's arms. Some of the workarounds can be reversed in minutes to restore the full function of the original rifles.

Even the "normal-capacity magazine" law is practically unenforceable because the law does not forbid "possession", only manufacture, importation, or transfer.

I expect that our patience will be rewarded again when the Republican controlled House refuses to consider ANY further federal gun control.

If we are disappointed in that, then I would expect the Supreme Court to accept an emergency hearing and a declaration of unConstitutionality.

If the Supreme Court does not act, then I would expect many local sheriffs to defy the federal government by disallowing any federal action in their jurisdictions. We see some of that happening already with regard to the War on Some Drugs. (I don't expect that it will be my sheriff who takes my side.)

If the President, ... and the Congress, ... and the Supreme Court, ... and the local sheriff all fail us, then I will act.

I was kept in a state of anxiety throughout the debacle known as Watergate. I was eventually rewarded by seeing a corrupt President impeached and forced to resign and seeing five dozen of his minions convicted of felonies.

How the nation will handle the crimes of Obama, I don't know. But there is time, if we remain strong AND ARMED.

what’s never said is, that even without the 2nd amendment, no where does the Constitution allow the federal government to do anything about guns

True. The regulating of militias was understood to be by the states only.

i think you like most of our politicians are misreading the mood of most americans who are informed and educated enough to see what is happening in the us and what the future looks like without a confrontation...gun control is just the tipping point of many abuses just like 1776

Ever wondered why Arkansas is mentioned in the book of Genesis?

(Noah looked out the ark and saw dry land.)

Hey, I know it's not real funny now but I heard it in Sunday school when I was a kid in the 50s, it was funny then.

For a state with a conservative reputation, MT surely votes Democrat for the U.S. Senate a great deal of the time.

Only *#4* (you cute fuzzy bunny). hahaha

that bothers me*

The point of the entire exercise is that it is so easy to MISREAD something when there are OTHER points of view on the same *subject* that are equally valid, IMO. But yet we all tend to wallow in our conditioned (pre)conceptions whether subliminal or of the soapbox variety.

Just listen to that little voice in your head.

Unless you have a pet tapeworm....
