This should serve as a warning to all freedom loving Americans. Before pulling the lever this coming November, remember: both Hillary and Obama support draconian gun laws aimed not at criminals (because criminals don't obey the laws anyway), but at law abiding citizens.

Right, them and so many of our Pols are trying to rid us of such a horrible document.
With the shift toward international law and globalism (NAU/NWO), there will come a day when someone comes for our weapons. (might not even be our own Gov)
We need to be prepared.
Who said anything about *average*? I’m a Texan.
Dude, if they come for our weapons, will have a lot more to worry about than our stinkin jobs and passports. What about our FREEDOM?
Whoopee...
It may very well happen here, city by city. Look at the demographics - fewer shooters and hunters per capita than 20 years ago. Yes, the NRA will put up a fight and the bogus American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA) will have diffculty attracting new members but the Libs and their urban and suburban supporters (in the form of Dems or RINOs) gain strength every year.
Just look at Mark Kirk (R-IL) and “assault” weapons. What a nimrod! He’s playing into the hands of the Libs. Years ago his congressional district was reliably conservative and Republican; now, not so much. The influence of the left-leaning media and academic communities upon younger generations has been greater than many assume. Even worse, older folks are now buying into that crap. I don’t know if it’s dementia or a desire to be connected but it’s darn sad.
I can...
“I cant imagine any US LEO or military unit that would enforce this.”
They do it all the time in CA, NY, MA, IL, CT and so on.
The enemies of state (democrats)will give it one hell of a try.
This video makes you ask yourself, “What will I do when they come for my guns?”
You're far too trusting.
“I dont believe Americans would so easy part with their weapons.”
It’s much more likely that the federal fascists will resort to chemical and biological weapons in “problem” areas to take care of the gun issue. The ever-expanding girth of the typical federal bureaucrat could never hack it on a battlefield. Half would die from strokes and heart attacks.
Thomas Jefferson was truly a wise man....
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect
themselves against tyranny in government.
— Thomas Jefferson
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it
— Thomas Jefferson
What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the
spirit of resistance?
— Thomas Jefferson
Learn from the Brits mistakes, folks. In the words of the previous President of the NRA Charlton Heston, “I have only five words for you: ‘from my cold, dead, hands’”

I agree.
It is not illegal to purchase or own a gun in those states.
Sure and you can get a concealed carry too, right?
Denying the outrageous infringement of the 2nd amendment that happens in states like I listed makes you quite suspect.
Welcome to the club. I am a NBT (native born Texan) and don't consider myself average. But, the discussion is about the so called average person at if he/she will be motivated to step across the line. Or, as in the French Revolution, meet at the barricades. And, aside from unaverage folks such as yourself, I don't believe that so called average folks would be willing to make the big step over this issue.
I understand what the issue is. However, the question is will the great unwashed join you at the metaphorical barricades? I don't believe that the average person would be willing to walk away from home, job, family for this and become a wanted and hunted criminal, that's all...
