I've wondered that myself, from a different perspective, of course.

Im not sure what the go signal will be either, but some will notice it before others.

America is still in that awkward in-between age. But the left is working hard to push us over the edge.

We’re smarter than they are and have a far greater respect for the American ideal which makes us unwilling to throw it away to get what we want.

We’re certainly not going to be goaded into a fight by this clown.

I wonder IF and HOW MANY will recognize Obama’s reichstag fire.

I’d say it was because most thinking people understand that the next civil war will be a terrible affair. Our society still bears scars from the last one, 150 years ago. One does not undertake such a thing lightly.

Or, just give up, bite the bullet and shoot yourselves. Make us gun control enthusiasts happy.

Man, those leftists REALLY dig calling for the deaths of their enemies.

But, yeah, it's okay when they do it because they're all about peace, love, etc.

It would seem that most Americans are not arming up just to obey any orders from the government to register, turn in, store in an armory, etc, their best self-defense against tyranny.

The way its looking now it will start like it did the last two time there was massive armed resistance on US soil. Both times the trigger was when they came to confiscate the people’s firearms.

They cannot bring about Bill Ayer’s goal of killing 25 million Americans unless we cannot fight back.

It is not time yet.
The parameters have not been set.

I have the opinion that some folks are waiting for the “low-inforamtion” crowd, to bubble over and foment, thereby, it would be in response, not in aggression, with the same sort of outcome, or so I’ve heard.

Why?

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and 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.”

You don't lightly throw your country into a civil war.

It’s called keeping our power dry, and I think it’s still wise for now.

I also think it will obvious when it’s no longer wise, and I think they’re pushing to wards that point as I type.

Joel S. Hirschhorn, libertarian

I think this gentleman is confused about what the word libertarian means. Either that or it is end times, with black meaning white, up meaning down and libertarian meaning gun-confiscating commie.

I don’t know why, but this buffoon wrote this crap weeks ago (December 9th) and yet reminds me of Joel Chandler Harris:

Why then, I keep asking myself, have we not seen a violent uprising among the untold millions of Americans owning guns to take back their government?

I've said this before and I'll say it again, despite all the bluster and chest thumping by the keyboard commandos, we won't ever see one as long as the thumpers have jobs, mortgages, payments on their new Dodge Ram 1500's and families to provide for..........

This actually bodes well for the vast majority of gun owners exercising incredible restraint. It just goes to show what truly decent law abiding people they are.

It would not take much however once blatant attempts at confiscation and criminalization took place to push it all over the edge.

I no more worship my guns than I do my fire extinguishers. I don’t want to have to use either in an emergency, but it’s far better to have and not need them than vice versa.

LOL you leftist stooge.

Reminds me of a joke:

What did the sadist say to the masochist? "No"

1) If it weren’t for the Second Amendment we would already be slaves. The Marxists in our nation would have made their move to tyranny long ago. With full knowledge that there are likely several million of gun owners in this nation that can shoot the eye out of a gnat at 400 yards, politicians tend to be less over reaching in their ambitions.

2) Conservatives are rational people. They understand that historically Civil War is a catastrophic event in terms of lives lost and destruction of wealth. There is still plenty of opportunity to turn this nation around. It is the Second Amendment, and the extra stretch in the political culture that it allows, that makes this opportunity for **peaceful** change entirely possible.

From the linked article: "... the number of households owning guns has declined from almost 50 percent in 1973 to just over 32 percent in 2010."

Also from the linked article: "... the number of Democratic households with firearms in their homes skyrocketed from 30 percent in 2009 to 40 percent today."

It's no wonder that gun-grabbing liberals can't balance the national budget. I doubt that they even know it's not balanced.

In order to believe the author's claims, one would have to believe that a greater percentage of Democratic households contain guns than non-Democratic.

Perhaps the author is telling us that the guns in Democratic households are not "owned". Perhaps they have all been stolen? Or dredged out of America's lakes along with the wreckage of many ill-fated boats?

So. It is hypocritical when a right thinker does not behave in the simplistic way a fuzzy thinking, brain dead liberal thinks he should act?

Liberals do not actually understand what hypocrisy is, or they would turn their contempt upon themselves.
