You brave iron men who claim to be more stubborn than that, who now sit at your keyboards unsuspected of such grit -- I am proud to be in your company, to share the same internet forum with you. I salute you and all your rippling muscles. But you're going to be annihilated, all the same.

You've chosen an appropriate screen name. It appears that the scary monster tactics and propaganda of the paper tiger tyrants has worked well on you.

Do you honestly believe that 85 million gun-owning Americans would sit still and do nothing if government goons started confiscating guns and shooting their neighbors?

If worse came to worse, and we saw armed troops in our communities, do you honestly believe that this wouldn't provoke a conflagration of armed rebellion across the country?

You're the one who's dreaming here. Get real...

As I've mentioned many times, my screen name was chosen because I lived next door to a compound of fundamentalist islamists from Pakistan. Mosque, madrassa, the works, all in an old Catholic rectory and church in a small rural town in a red state.

You didn't read thoroughly. I wrote that there would be no need for shooting, and no armed troops would be provoking an armed rebellion. People will give up their guns, on request, mostly; a few will need to be pressured by tax audits and other clever things the govt can do to you without drawing blood. After they're done having fun, holding onto your firearms is the least of your problems. Imagine holding onto your family, your job, your pension, your driver's license, your house, your freedom. Imagine trying to figure out how you're going to pay all those lawyers. Imagine false charges of various nasty crimes, conviction for which entails the loss of reputation, liberty, voting rights, driving privileges --- and firearms.

I could go on. You folks really have no clue at all. I'm sorry, but you really don't.
