Simpson appears to be quite serious, or maybe he is just trying to illustrate what it would take to actually "ban guns" as many liberals and other control freaks so blithely demand. Even the most intrusive search could not find all the guns or ammunition and many of those that were not found would be used against the totalitarian authorities and media shills who had instigated the inquisition in the first place.
oh please they could take them all tomorrow
the mexicans will start packing ak47 along their cocaine shipments
it would just ad their business offerings by including highly price and fully automatic weapon systems
He’s a retired diplomat...and a moron.
Nomenclature has already been used...
S.S.
Come try it at my house Danny boy.
But if it ever comes to this, I'll try very hard not to harm some poor flatfoot cop. I plan to get to people like Danny boy here who thought this crap up.

This guy is high on crack or meth. This is pure fantasy because he fails to account for how many law enforcemnt officers would actually do this and how many would be killed trying. He also fails to mention how they would address taking guns from protected classes of people.....ie everyone except white men. Finally he does not address how we would get to that situation in the first place, how the Congress, state legislatures or courts would allow such a thing to happen.
I have a better idea. Take his whole article and delete the word “gun” and insert the word “liberal” and now you have a good cause and millions ready to participate in the round up.
I’ve heard more credible utopian schemes from drunks in bars.
Vigorous debate... LOL .... yeah ... I'd call that vigorous.... kind of like the vigorous debate we had with Germany and Japan during the 40's.
Dan boy is not only stupid he's crushingly ignorant as well. Apparently he never heard of the Warsaw ghetto, and how a few armed jews held off the Nazi army for months. Although there are plenty of bedwetters in NY and Ma who would go along with it I suspect police, and their bureaucratting and political master would start dying in large quantities in the rest of the country if this nonsense started.
Further, I'm sure there are patriots out there making a list similar to the Koko's of "people who won't be missed" for when the stuff hits the fan. I'd guess that this jerk just got added to a couple of lists.
I guess this guy has never heard of the 4th Amendment.
Checking for Scrappleface or Onion headline...you mean this is SERIOUS?
dan simpson is openly trying to foment revolution by crushing OUR Constitutional Rights. I guess these libs all want to cause another Civil War... Come try to take my guns danny boy!
LLS
As a Federal Agent there is no way in hell that I would enforce such tyranny.
In a strange way I would welcome this law. Cuts through all of the BS
I’m getting tired of the ‘dance’. Come try to take mine/ours and let’s see whose is the last side standing!
Dan Simpson, a retired diplomat, is a member of the editorial boards of The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
He is undoubtedly typical of his fellow members of the editorial board. This gives you a direct view into the mindset of media on gun owners and our rights. He and his accomplices are ready to unleash a new holocaust with gun owners as the victims. He just proves what I've been saying about anti-gunners for years. They do not listen to logic. You cannot reason with them. You cannot appease them short of total confiscation. They don't care about rights. They have no respect for our wishes - they only care about imposing their warped ideas on us. They never rest. They never change. There are only three possible outcomes
How much army does America want and need?
"America does have other uses for its armed forces. It is important to remember that when the National Guards of Louisiana and other Southern states were needed in the United States to respond to the Katrina disaster, many of them were in Iraq instead. The Reserves are just that - reserves, not permanently deployed forces. Their tours in Iraq get longer and the breaks between them shorter. The National Guard are national guards, not people to be used in overseas wars like Iraq."

"Is it not the case that America has better uses for its resources - its people and its money - than sending more troops to Iraq to fight and die? If it does not, what exactly have we become?"
[ Better our military be used for everything but fighting our enemies ]
Dan Simpson: Double standards at the nuclear club
"India, Israel and Pakistan get a pass on their nukes, while Iran and North Korea are pariahs"
- - clip - -
"The only logic that would explain the contradictions is that the United States needs India, Pakistan and Israel, while Iran and North Korea conveniently fill the role of Bush administration enemies du jour. Funny way to run a railroad, particularly when the subject is responsible control of nuclear weapons."
[ Might as well let two avowed American enemies get the bomb, since we couldn't/wouldn't stop our friends from getting it. ]
Dan is advocating Nazi tactics where specific groups of people are demonized, rounded up and thrown in prison. Although people in certain areas would meekly submit, such as shown in New Orleans, I doubt that attitude would carry over to other areas of the country.
Dan needs to be rounded up and thrown in prison.
No, there will be piles of body bags.
Holy f&*#ing 1984 batman.
