I’d love to see a survey of all LEO’s on whether or not they would participate in the action of confiscating citizen’s personal weapons if such a law were passed...........

All of this is very interesting. I have noticed that a few posts indicate Obama may try this. It will be interesting to watch...

I have listened to the Appaloosa series of books by Robert S Parker and also read the books. The character Virgil Cole was a drifting law man who possessed skills with a gun and organization. When given the job of town marshall and responsibility for cleaning up the town, his first act was always collecting guns.

We know also that Wayatt Erp tamed Dodge City with a no guns allowed policy

One wonders how the local governments of the time just did it with no lasting feed back based on the second amendment. The laws were not the end of guns, merely the prohibition against open carry.

My grand father complied but after he died, I found a very well worn .41 caliber two shot derringer he apparently carried a lot. It is too bad there is apparently no .41 caliber ammo around today because it would be very handy still

That has been tried before and that is the only time liberals can be counted on the stand up for God given rights.

Treason is the reason, and the founding fathers did not come up with the D of I the Constitution, and the BOR to give treasonous blasstards the right, under protection of those very documents, to undermine liberty without any consequences.

The same holds true for that religion of peace, the Communist Party, Black Lives Matter, abortion clinics, anti gun movements of any kind, The Sierra Club, any environmental group opposing the use of God provided minerals used for energy production. The list is long and tedious, and does only one thing, inhibit the progress of good, and the wellbeing of mankind.

If an oath of office for elected officials, the military, law enforcement, and many others is considered important, and breaking that oath even more important in recognizing what kind of person one is, then maybe an oath of allegiance would be important to insure the survival of the Republic. But no law or oath or anything else short of winning the war fought since time began of good versus evil will actually win the day.

With all that said, it would sound like a utopia, for those believing in Liberty and the Republic, and that will never exist until the author of Liberty returns to this world. So, the fight continues against evil, by those who embrace goodness and mercy. It is fortunate that those with big mouths can’t help themselves and announce their intentions.

Obviously they have no intention of taking guns from violent criminals or Muslims. Only from non-violent citizens.

If you told a team of six LE guys that their job for today is to confiscate weapons from twelve houses. The odds are...at least one of the six won’t be returning at the end of the day alive and the team probably won’t get past the second house of the day on the list. Somewhere along the second week of this ‘detail’....the LE guys will demand a pay-raise or they will stop enforcing the order. You can figure a turn-over of 90-percent of the cops by the end of the first year.

“Conservatives need to take away the printing press from Liberals.”

Something needs to be done. The idea of free speech is a good one. But the media uses it for political agendas and outright lying while at the same time bashing anyone with opposing ideas. They’ve been doing this since Nixon, and the more they’ve gotten by with it, the worse it gets.

There’s got to be a way to balance out their political agenda and punish them severely for lying without destroying the right to free speech.

I’m hoping Trump will figure out a way.

.41 cal Special and Magnum are available, center fire. Rim fire is a problem though. Any way, hang on to it.

outright gun confiscation as the solution to end violence.

And when the violence is not stopped, what will they come for next? Knives? And when the violence still does not stop, what will they come for after that? Baseball bats? Sticks? Rocks? Human fists? Human feet?

At what point will these mental retards start serious work on the root of the problem? The human propensity for violence?

And fired the shot heard ‘round the world.”

In my neck of the woods (between Ozark and Ouachita Mountains) cops (would have to be FEDS since the locals would refuse) wouldn't make it a day alive. Too many rednecks who saved a year in order to pay for an AR 15, and hunt with their grandfather's pre-64 Winchester rifle....and then there are guys like me with suppressed 22s shooting from the woods while they regroup.

what is their actual reader numbers? Must be hard to find out with internet access.

Also, no wonder God orders a GREAT earthquake that takes out the cities. Coastal cities are mentioned a lot when it comes to the judgment in the OT.
