I was in Australia for a while shortly before 1996. One thing I noticed was that quite a few murders took place in the Sydney area (where I was).
Of course, few of those killings involved guns. But the Australians seemed to beat each other to death with golf clubs, cricket bats and chairs far more than we do here in the States.
The mandatory confiscation of the American citizenry’s guns would involve tens of thousands of heavily armed federal agents going door-to-door to demand of millions of Americans that they surrender their guns.
Would have to be passed by Congress ? Obama would never get it done in the time he has left
Not..Going..To..Happen..Here
Without a LOT of violence. I think that since the last decade of the great Democrat control push that Americans who own guns have finally awakened to the reality that we must push back on every little gun measure the fascists propose. Never let up, never give an inch.
Many, though probably not enough, realize that gun confiscation would have to be met with armed insurrection. The left in the US is essentially no different than the Nazis or the Maoists. That once they have our guns they will begin locking up dissidents (i.e. non lefties).
Make no mistake, the left in this country would put conservatives into camps and commit genocide on conservatives if they could. I guarantee that. As much has been said about putting us in reeducation camps. It would be stupid not to realize that gulags and genocide are the ultimate desires of many liberal
Americans.
The hate & polarization here is worse than even the most “informed” people realize.
I would like to see the day when a suspect enters a college classroom and shoots at the professor and 6 students draw their handguns and kill the suspect-— 5 center mass and 1 in the shoulder and then the student who only hit the shoulder is sent to the college basement firing range for a couple of days of shooting practice.
As Archie Bunker said. “Arm all the passengers on an airplane with guns to end sky jacking.”
5 years ago I took a 5 day self-defense training course and one of the participants was an Aussie.
He made it pretty clear that most citizens buried their weapons in strong boxes.
It makes it difficult to get much practice time, but at least they remain an armed citizenry.
We don’t analyze or see gun crime properly and of course, all gun control after mass shootings are emotional responses and don’t stop mass shootings.
Mass shootings, where 4 or more die, in addition to the perp, are mostly committed by the mentally deficient. Mass murder deaths are statistically insignificant compared to the 10,000 or 11,000 other firearms homicides yearly.
I can’t think of a gun law that would have any impact on or stop mass shootings.
I CAN think of lots of actions, generally directed at criminals, not specifically at guns, that would cut homicides greatly.
If the government is incapable of finding and deporting illegals, how can it find and confiscate firearms? In most cases, illegals are bigger, and not so well hidden.
How many Aussies died resisting the confiscation? Multiply that times 50 when they try that stupid shit here.
Ps. Multiply the number of dead Feds x 50 too.
