Hi redgolum-

What would be unfortunate in a broad confiscation scenerio is that there are plenty of police officers (especially younger ones) who don't have the courage or wisdom borne by experience to recognize this would be a bad situation into which they were being manipulated.

Even worse that younger officers wouldn't recognize that Liberal policymakers would literally be home laughing at them while sitting around the dinnertable. If you're a police officer reading Free Republic for the first time, rest assured it is the Conservatives (who happen to own the guns) who are classically pro-police and have your best interests in mind.

The Finnish Civil War presents an interesting model, but given the societal/ideological fault lines we can see, we're in for something that may resemble a combination of the Finnish situtation and a South American-style 'dirty war'.

IMO, the Gramscian Left's been all too successful in Balkanizing this country. It's an open question as to whetehr we have the will to do what's necessary to save this nation from destruction. The cure will almost certainly be as bad as the disease itself. Almost, but not quite.

Fell deeds await.

I'm sure the cloud of dust the perps will leave heading out across the borders will make the illegal alien exodus from Mexico look like a mere puff of stale cigar smoke in comparison.

The ones that survive, at any rate. Let them be few in number.

Those "Special Squads" would be an endangered species within the first week. If they didn't get shot by the homeowner while knocking down his door, they'd get shot by his neighbors across the street, or they'd get hanged on a lamp post where their final view was of their dead family, their burnt-to-the-ground house, and their salted property.

Precisely.

Your letter to the editor was a good idea, although it was way, way too long. Letters must be limited to a single paragraph to be considered for print.

Quite. Actually, the Democratic Party has done more to PROMOTE gun ownership, thru “reverse psychology”, than anything the right-wing and/or gun-lobby could do. They single-handedly turned “assault weapons” and “pocket rockets” into absolute must-have guns, when up until then they were viewed as underpowered novelties.

He didn't seem to grasp that he had been threatening me. They don't.

Today I was looking for an arts festival in the Atlanta area. The location wasn't well indicated, so I wandered a bit. Ended up at a park with a bunch of Code Pink types, doing their "impeach Bush / end the war" bizzareness. Anyway, I wasn't interested in taking them on, I just wanted to know which park it was. They had covered the park sign with their own, which I proceeded to remove so I could get the park's name and get my bearings accordingly. At least two descended on me, demanding to know why I was removing their sign and generally being offended at my actions. I told her I was just looking for the name of the park and their sign was covering it. She responded "well why didn't you just talk to us?" Uh-huh. I finished finding the name and left.

Upshot: it was yet another small, but accumulating, point where they (Code Pink) was behaving in a disruptive manner, yet when I (general public, not acting as opposition) tried to get past their disruption, they were all offended that I wasn't going by THEIR rules, expectations, and norms. They perceived my actions (moving blocking signage to find a name) as a threat, and utterly failed to realize that THEIR actions - both the protest and their hindering me - was a legal threat.

1. Lock & Load,
2. Aim carefully,
3. Squeeze trigger repeatedly while aiming downrange into target until magazine is empty.
4. Reload.

Special squads of police would be formed and trained to carry out the work.

Its not very hard for me to imagine seeing a long line of liberals signing up to do this job at the local Democrat/Union offices.

keep in mind that those who are Felons and who have been declared mentally incompetent have lost their Rights to vote, keep and bear arms, etc.

What is your criteria for mentally incompetent? Who makes the call?

If you deny a former felon's Second Amendment Right, why is the Bill of Rights called unalienable?

My letter to the "editor"...

Never in my life have I been aware of such a rabid and delusional anti-American individual as Dan Simpson. Thank you for reenforcing my decision to return to the Great State of Texas after residing less than one year in Ohio. In Mr Dan Simpson's anti-constitutional drivel referred to as an "editorial" ( The disarming of America ), it is clear that there are forms of mental illness that do in fact manifest as "liberalism." Thank GOD I realized my mistake as a rational freedom respecting American Citizen from Texas.... and got back to Texas just as fast as I could.

Pretty much. Another model is that of Peru, particularly during the Fernando Belaúnde days, approximately 1956 to 1968.

Yep, but they'll ca;l it something cute ... like a Writ of Assistance.

This answers a question I’ve had for a while: What’s Baghdad Bob doing with himself these days?

Now I know.

That is, until the Toledo Blade published a proposal for taking away our right to self-protection that included “Special squads of police” with unlimited powers to confiscate all guns. A hit squad that would traipse about the country invading homes at will and accosting peaceful citizens everywhere.


They’re just begging to get “Special squads of police” killed.
