Confiscation will not be done, en mass, with armored police raids. It will be done this way, over a generation or two, as registration requirements are tightened and reasons to own guns restricted. Little by little, a bit at a time, until gun owners are few and politically weak.

This process has been ongoing in New York for over a century. That is why there are so few gun owners in New York City now, because we let the Sullivan act fester there, unchecked, for a century.

It is a national scandal that such a major infringement as the Sullivan act, put into law to protect organized crime, was allowed to infringe on New Yorkers Constitutional rights for all this time.

Great! So they started with the street gangs, taking their guns first?

Wait & see what happens when ObamaCare allows the Federales to dig through every (Republican’s) medical record. And that is exactly what they are planning.

I may be paranoid, but I am damn sure not stupid.

That’s my analysis as well. It’s happened/is happening in MA in precisely the same way.

Nowadays you’re half a kook if you keep a hunting rifle, never mind carry.

Tyrant Kim Un Hussein must be very pleased that his efforts to “FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” are progressing so easily.

There is more going on here than just gun confiscation.

Back in the days of the USSR, the Communists used mental hospitals to jail people fpr political reasons.

We are seeing a broad based effort on the part of the US Government to use vague and totally subjective mental health criteria as a pretext to control people.

The Obama Administration is pulling this directly out of the Stalin/Lenin playbook.

A perfect example is using “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” as a pretext to confiscate firearms from military veterans and to prevent vets from having guns in their possession.

I’ll leave to peoples imaginations as to why the Obama Administration is so focused on preventing trained US military combat vets from having success to firearms.

“because they somehow accessed his medical records”

So, what did you think the Obamacare databases were really going to be used for?

Same thing in 1994 Staten Island after the Feinstein Federal gun ban, NYC used licenses to round up those guns.

[[But Hamburg attorney Jim Tresmond says his client was notified by letter that his gun permit was suspended upon the recommendation of State Police, who learned the man is on anti-anxiety medication. ]]

Wherei n the consitution does it say soemoen on anti-anxiety medications is unfit to own a gun? Who determiend that he was unfit? What was their diagnosis? Was he under hteir care long enough for them to make that determination? What signs did he exhibit that warrented such a drastic action against him?

IF he miraculously wins this case- I hope to hell he sues the CRAP out of those who confiscated his guns-

Criminals will have taken note that the man is now unarmed.

I wonder how long it will take before they come knocking.

Feinstein: All Vets Are Mentally Ill And Government Should Prevent Them From Owning Firearms

Feinstein has already set up virtually every veteran for this same treatment.

Registration even through so called background checks (that are supposed to be erased after 3 days but are forever in the computer) = confiscation. How many boys are forced to take Ritalin by the central controlled education system? Guess what they can’t own a gun. See where this goes?

Welcome to the New World Order, soon they will start rounding up those who oppose them and send them to re-education camps, how did that work out for the Jews in NAZI Germany?

So that’s it... because some bureaucrat went snooping into this guy’s mental health record and found he’s on an anti-anxiety drug, his 2nd Amendment rights are forfeit.

And the libs try to give these false assurances gun registration doesn’t lead to confiscation. NYers, does he have any options, or are his weapons forever gone?

The local sheriff here is giving speeches before women’s groups, urging them to buy weapons and learn how to use them.

Basic physics: For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.
