The Coming National Gun Ban – and How the States Can Resist
American Thinker ^ | 11 Oct, 2016 | Michael Filozof

Posted on 10/11/2016 8:52:17 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The law of averages predicts that at some time in the future, perhaps as soon as 2017, the Democratic Party will once again control the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress. When that happens, the next Democratic president -- be it Hillary Clinton or someone else -- will sign into law a sweeping, foreign-style gun ban.

The legislation has already been written. H.R. 4269 would enact a national, permanent ban on the manufacture and sale of so-called “assault weapons” and all firearm magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. The bill, introduced last December, already has149 Democratic co-sponsors (218 are needed to pass the House).

H.R. 4269 would ban all AR-15 and AK-type rifles and all civilian versions of military rifles produced anywhere in the word within the past 60 years or so. The bill would also ban all parts kits, stripped receivers, “bump-fire” stocks, thumbhole stocks, trigger cranks, so-called “compliant” rifles, and “any… characteristic that can function as a [pistol] grip.” Law enforcement is exempt from the bill’s provisions.

They want more gun control for law abiding citizens and shorter sentences for crimminals.

The Colorado Constitution with regards to militias:

Article 17

Militia

Section 1. Persons subject to service. The militia of the state shall consist of all able-bodied male residents of the state between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years; except, such persons as may be exempted by the laws of the United States, or of the state.

Section 2. Organization / equipment / discipline. The organization, equipment and discipline of the militia shall conform as nearly as practicable, to the regulations for the government of the armies of the United States.

Section 3. Officers - how chosen. The governor shall appoint all general, field and staff officers and commission them. Each company shall elect its own officers, who shall be commissioned by the governor; but if any company shall fail to elect such officers within the time prescribed by law, they may be appointed by the governor.

Section 4. Armories. The general assembly shall provide for the safekeeping of the public arms, military records, relics and banners of the state.

Section 5. Exemption in time of peace. No person having conscientious scruples against bearing arms, shall be compelled to do militia duty in time of peace; provided, such person shall pay an equivalent for such exemption.

It will only create a MAD MAX landscape of weaponized tools and vehicles, harpoons, crossbows, air cannons, trebuchets.

I would have said a week ago there is no way we lose the House and likely would hold the Senate by at least a couple seats, but the DC political class just declared civil war. Idiots.

One of the sheriffs in the Ozark Mtns said that he’d deputized every non-felon citizen in the county, starting with Form 4 ATF holders, CHCL holders, and FFLs etc. as a sure fire way to bypass federal laws since CLEOs are exempt.

Some old wise men, a long time ago, wrote a guidebook for free people called The Constitution of the United States. Conservatives strongly believe what they wrote because it has worked quite well for over 200 years. The Moderates would like to change it a bit, and the Democrats, believers in communism, would like to destroy it.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable”.JFK

“The rifle is the weapon of democracy… If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns, only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government—and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.” -Edward Abbey

Granted the wording of that line could be interpreted both ways. I would like to see it change to something more empowering to the state or making it more obvious that those that are exempted by the US MAY also be exempted by the State.
