I hope the JBTs realize that the phrase “from my cold, dead hands” actually means something.

I would have to agree. There is a significant impediment to gun confiscation. And that is the number of gun owners possessing an attitude which goes back to the battle of Gonzales:

Probably not....if he starts with MI, OH, CO,& PA gun owners who are union workers and voted for him overwhelmingly. They will just bend over and grab their ankles.

The original reason for the Second Amendment is about to become apparent. I’m not letting a Kenyan raghead “elected” via voter fraud and a bunch of Commie college kiddies take my guns. Sorry.

I was just watching Studio B with Shep. They did a story on the rising gun sales. Catherine Herridge did the field report for the story. Shep asked her if there was any reason to believe Obama would restrict 2nd Amendment rights. She reported what Obama had said on the campaign trail: No.

However, they neglected to address the questionnaire Obama filled out as an IL state senate candidate where he specifically said he favored an assault weapons ban, a ban on handgun manufacturing and ownership, plus being against concealed carry. They also overlooked the fact Obama's own transition website, change.com, called for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban before it was "sanitized" this weekend.

Needless to say, the MSM.....even Fox....is asleep at the switch on this issue.

Leading America is what promotes re-election, any attempt at ruling Americans is what could possibly lead to term limits.

The folks of Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina don't much care what the aforementioned states do. For us, we see it like Leonidas of Sparta did: Molon Labe!

He’s from the Hyde Park district of Chicago...it’s not like this was a surprise. There are like 8 people in the entire city who aren’t pathologically averse to private ownership of firearms.

And I’ve revised the old saying a little - From my cold dead hands barrel first and empty.

A couple years ago when I started collecting weapons my parents asked me why I needed them. November fifth they called and asked if I could go with them for their first purchase...lol!

Had the interview continue and a follow-up question asked that may have brought into the light your follow-up comment, Fox news may have then been accused of investigative reporting....

FoxNews is erratic, at best, on holding Obama’s feet to the fire on all issues.

However, three weeks ago I watched LIVE as one of the FN hotties ripped an Obama spokesman a new a$$hole over the issue. She specifically mentioned BOTH surveys, including the one with Obama’s handwriting all over it.

And Ray Shoecke (sp?), the AHSA scumbag who ran commercials specifically saying that Obama “will protect our Second Amendment rights) better be ready to answer up. It’s known that AHSA is a shill group for Brady, so I’d like to see him feel the heat.

Change happens fast, FREEPS, we could all wake up four years from now in a socialist nation where gun rights do not exist (and it’s considered a mental health issue if you ask why people shoulnd’t be allowed to own guns)...

Change happens quickly. And change is bad, synonymous with decay.

The U.S. is doomed and seccession is the answer. All great empires crumble from within and the U.S. is no different.

Why wouldn’t we crumble? We don’t respect our own borders. We consider it a virtue when someone disparages our traditions. We sing along in a foreign language to accomodate people who openly hate us but sneak in anyway to get there something for nothing. Our public schools extol the virtues of Marx while denouncing the principles of the Constitution and abortion is celebrated while motherhood is condemned.

You tell me what conclusions I should come to.

Nah. We will survive Bambi’s administration. No seccession, no war. Just vigilance and the the willingness to push back if necessary.

BTW, weclome to FR

I don't think so. *I* am a gun-owning union-worker (although I don't trust my union for squat). I'm not grabbing my ankles for *anyone*, particularly some idiot trying to take my "liberty teeth".

Move away from the stupid stereotypes...
