That's probably the best outcome we can hope for sadly, but I'm afraid that's not what will happen. I'm afraid the evidence clearly shows from Ruby Ridge to Waco to Elian Gonzales even....the govt will crush the scattered, isolated patriots.
IOW he knows very well that the criminals will still be armed and wants it that way. Anybody who doesn't understand that our overlords plan anarchy followed by international "peace-keeping" to "restore order" isn't awake. What most do not understand is that intermodal transportation systems are the key to supplying that force.
1958 – Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack’s shotgun, goes to his car and gets his shotgun to show Jack.
2008 – School goes into lock down, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.

Here’s a link to your original post that is working for me right now.
I agree a militia type action won't work either. The Feds would successfully infiltrate any network like they have all their targets. What is left is the civil disobedience of possessing weapons no matter what the rules say. Bet the rent, and your life, that is what Bobby Rush's vermin constituents do.
320 days and STILL no charges filed. Nor has their property been returned under "civil asset forfeiture. Even though there ARE NO CHARGES.
This isn't an isolated case. Look at Red's Trading Post. The treatment of that po-bucker in a Wisconsin jail for 30-months due to that loaned a rifle that malfunctioned. This guy in Cali that is in trouble because of his LEGALLY owned firearms in his trunk while on the way to the range. Etc... These are just the more recent ones that I can remember without having to resort to a Google search for.
Cool!
Better be careful. If the Feebies want your toyz, they’ll come get ‘em like they did all those nifty CavArms lower receivers. Seized everything they had and even without charges are keeping them under Asset Forfeiture.
Agreed. But, it's better that the bad laws happen now at the start of the first term. Liberals all think their ideas (especially concerning guns) are mainstream and held by a majority of Americans. If the bad stuff happens now and we have a good chance of a control reversal in the Congress for 2010. 1994 was the proof of that. I just feel sorry for the folks who turn out to be the first test cases of American tyranny gone public.
The game is on.
Why all the gloom? This bill will drastically reduce crime in this country. Then we won’t need guns. Dont you all see this?????
Sadly, you are dead on with that assessment.
Do you have a list of those businesses? I will gladly to my $$ to those who stand for the 2nd Amendment.
Then how do we go from scattered, isolated patriots to organized? When I try to talk to people about this stuff they say it won’t come down to fighting. De Nile, it’s not just a river in Egypt.
Considering I'm in the middle of Minnesota, that's a bit of a wonderment.
“this is license for violent black on white crime”
This is precisely what they plan. During the campaign, a lot of ghetto-types kept saying, “its payback time”. Of course the only payback we really deserve is a “thank you”, but since they are brain washed from a very young age to hate Whitey, the payback they envision is white genocide.
The problem with that is, the CONSTITUTION says, that the people have the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. NOT the privilege.
Having the government say that a license is required to own firearms, gives the government full control over who is allowed to have them and who is not. This makes it tyranny and nothing more.
All Americans will be required to get their license and declare their fire arms, registered or not, or face becoming a felon. We all know what the final step will be after this happens. Outright confiscation, because the government will know were all the firearms are. At least those held by law abiding citizens.
Hunting will also be severely controlled or banned outright, using natural population control methods to replace it.
Yes, and I was one of the fools drinking my own Kool Aid. I will not be so stupid in the future.
Personally I think our government and the process by which it is formed are beyond broken. IMO there is no way to fix it through elections. There is simply no viable opposition party to the demrat machine. The RINOs are really democrats and they will not allow conservatives to take it over.
And the ignorant people begged for it.
Looks like there are about to be millions of new felons then.
The first crime is expensive, the rest are free.
