Puhleeze. You might get a 1500 post thread on FR, the Levinites will post 152 pictures of beverages on their thread, and the next day, they'll all answer their doors and hand over their guns to the SWAT team at the door.
In that scenario, it means the majority of Americans rewarded the Democrats as well as elected a straight-up Marxist to the presidency, so how much support are we gonna have to fight this? "Hope for the Change of Gun Confiscation for the Children!"
How many patriots showed up to defend the 'nutcases' at Waco, Ruby Ridge, or FLDS when their rights were 'under siege."
I wish so much that you were right, but the fact that we're waiting and even allowing the Judicial Oligarchy to decide what rights we have or don't have is proof enough that there will be no 3rd* revolution.
(The second American Revolution was put down by military force in 1865.)
I believe that the US has just made an agreement with Canada, that Canadian Forces may be used in the US to put down civil disturbances and that US assets may be used to transport them.
There also is a question of how many in the US Armed Services would fire on US citizens.
In any event, keep your powder dry.
There's something different today though, Sam. Back in the Waco, Ruby Ridge days, the 10% of us who were online knew both sides of the subject, but the vast majority of Americans only knew what the MSM was telling them. While there were those who disagreed wit the government, most people didn't have enough information to see how egregious the government actions were.
Today, with a large majority of Americans having ACCESS to information if they want it, things are different. MSM and Jon Stewart can ridicule conservatives all they want, but people are getting a chance to hear our perspective on things, and the left isn't winning hearts and minds with propaganda nearly as easily. While one may cite the Global Warming mania as evidence against this point-of-view, the latest data on that is that as soon as people see that they are personally paying their $$$ for feel-good global warming policies (at the gas pump, at the grocery store, in their power bills), their support is melting away. Most people will support something that sounds nice verbally and in polls, but when it comes to supporting with the cash in their own pocket or bank account, it's a whole 'nuther story!
People were outraged at Kelo V New London, and most states were forced to modify their own laws on eminent domain because of it. Even more people will be outraged if Heller goes against a personal right.
Especially since Katrina, people I would never have thought it of have gotten guns for personal protection. Forums that focus on survival skills are doing quite nicely too, because of the number of people worried about what another "Katrina" would do in their lives. A lot more people believe in self defense now that they see the authorities may be 3-5 days away ;-)
