The city government has really screwed up on this one. I'm afraid it's true and the Iraqis are furious. I am vehemently opposed to this as are most Americans here. And the troops DO NOT like being involved in this. The only people they enjoy confiscating weapons from are terrorists.

Two of my Iraqi co-workers were just talking to me about this today. They are frustrated and angry...VERY angry at the government. I told them:

"There is one thing you can do. Fire the government."

They both looked at me incredulously and then Haider said, "We can't fire the government! I wish we could."

I said, "You can try. You have an election in January. Fire them at the ballot box. Make this an issue. Ban together with your neighbors, with everybody you know who is against this and petition your government. If they refuse to listen, fire them. Get involved in a campaign."

They both brightened at this, so I kept pushing them. "You're free. You have a voice. Make them let you remain FREE."

Neither of these two guys' neighborhoods have been swept in this yet. But they're reluctantly willing to cooperate. I told them that was OK, but to fight it legally.

Stay tuned.

So this is the CITY government that is foisting this on it's citizens~! That's just how it's shaping up here stateside. You handled it well with your Iraqi Friends Allegra.

You should teach them what "Molon Labe" means, and let them know our prayers and wishes are with them...

Excellent advice Allegra.

Unfortunately, this is how we will lose our RKBA here at home. A receipt for your guns so you can "contest it later"? Sorry...give up your guns, and you'll never see them again.

I hope to God we don't cave in so easily when Obamanation tells us to "turn 'em in".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I'm still not convinced fighting a broken system from within itself is all that wise. After all, look at the mess we're in.

Your Iraqi friends may actually have a better time of it than we do back over here though. Smaller, younger government and communities with a common enemy.

Many thanks for your report in post #24, Allegra.

Disarming the common man seems to be a specialty among all government types, regardless of country, creed, or time period, isn't it?
