They’re fed up

Correct statement, but do you want to see what will be the trigger event, it is already happening. And it will not be the Right pulling the trigger.

Look at this map of job loss/gain 2007-2009)

Send a copy of this to each member of Congress and the pathetic usurpers in the Administration. Their quest for power coupled with their arrogance has rendered them clueless. They’ve become corrupt and blinded by their Elitism. Their disregard for American history and their failure to live up to the oath they took to protect and defend our Constitution has compromised the American people and left us vulnerable to our foreign enemies. God knows, we have enough domestic enemies at every level of government in this country.

It doesn’t matter if every American has a gun and box of ammo if they don’t have the will to use them.

Disenfranchised and disrespected. From my feeble mind, here is what I see going on. The new govt is spending way too much money that our grandkids will be burdend with. And it’s all make work junk. Won’t stimilate anything except our tax burden. Our president is getting in our face with “We won”. The message to us is sit down and shut up. Deal with it. They are looking to disarm American citizens at a time when crime is going up due to a downturn in the economy. There is a good chance that Mexico is going to spiral out of control, and the govt is labeling US as potential terrorists. Obama is sucking up to Chavez who is sucking up to Iran. We see all these things going on and we wonder, what country am I living in. It appears that the Constitution is endangered by people we elected to run the country. Our elected govt is pushing our economy to a state run institution and there are a lot of us that know they can’t run anything effectivly. Freddie and Fannie are great examples. This new govt is targeting American citizens who do not agree with them. Never before can I remember a political party in charge target the people who make the country work. We do our jobs, pay our taxes, stay out of trouble and try to make this country better off for our kids futures. But now, we have a govt that is working to destroy everything that makes this country great and replace it with policies and practices that have failed every time they have been tried. We are tired of being targeted and insulted. The tea parties were an initial steam release. I do not expect this govt to back off.

Americans are fed up with the fast march to socialism embraced by the [Obama] administration, and they are fed up with the abridgment of their freedoms.

THEN WHY THE HELL DID THEY VOTE FOR HIM?!?
Sheesh!

I can think of several scenarios where it would be a good idea to be prepared for the worst. I someone decides to assassinate Obama you can bet there will be riots. If the economy continues to tank, the crime rates are going to increase. If a new AWB passes guns and ammo will be at a premium. Etc.

Americans are fed up with having government tell them what guns they may or may not own; they’re fed up with grandmothers getting strip-searched in airports to avoid offending the sensibility of Islamists; and they’re fed up with media elitists making the news instead of reporting it

I went down to renew my Ga.concealed Carry permit today in
Carroll Co. things have changed a bit since the last time
I renewed it. Now it’s called a “Firearms Permit”, now it’s not renewed, you have to “reapply”, now it costs $40, now
you have to be RE fingerprinted, all ten fingers twice, Now
you have to fill out a two page questionaire. Now you have to be run through a NICS check.

No infringment indeed.

Before you went to the probate court, filled out one sheet,
Put you finger print on the license form, paid $25 and it was sent out to you.
Don’t like the incrementalism of all this.

NOTE: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

In the 1990s, conservatives riled against the liberalism of the Clinton administration; the first decade of the 21st Century was characterized by liberals chanting “Bush lied, people died.”

Obama lied, freedom died.

I have never in my entire life seen guns and ammo sold out almost everywhere for MONTHS!!! At first it was mainly the .233/5.56 due to people thinking the AR ban would be re-instated. It is getting worse by the day. Now .22LR .38 9mm all of it is getting scarce. .45 ACP, too. It’s nuts out there.

Americans are fed up:

They’re fed up with their hard-earned money funding government bailouts while corporate executives feel free to rape, pillage and plunder; they’re fed up with illegal aliens stealing the few jobs that aren’t off-shored to Mumbai; they’re fed up with being blamed for corruption and violence in Mexico …

Americans are fed up with having government tell them what guns they may or may not own; they’re fed up with grandmothers getting strip-searched in airports to avoid offending the sensibility of Islamists; and they’re fed up with media elitists making the news instead of reporting it …

Americans are fed up with the fast march to socialism embraced by the current administration, and they are fed up with the abridgment of their freedoms.

Good rant,  to which I'd add;

We're fed up with a government that daily exceeds its Constitutionally defined limits by leaps and bounds.

We're fed up with both parties spending our children's future on boondoggles, earmarks, personal perks, and welfare.

We're fed up with ever-more intrusive government that believes we have no right to personal or financial privacy, yet thinks it's perfectly o.k. to have hundreds of billions of our tax dollars funnelled into black budgets where there is zero public accountability. Classifying a proposed treaty on "national security" grounds is par for the course with the out of control monstrosity called the U.S. Government.

We're fed up with a government that claims "ignorance of the law is no excuse", yet they pass hundreds of pages of laws and regulations daily that we are expected to comply with.

There's a hell of a lot more that we're fed up with, but that's a good start.

At gun shows, potential buyers form hours-long lines to get in, only to pay inflated prices for ammunition and semi-automatic firearms they assume the Obama administration will eventually ban.

The ammo is inflated, but you could still find a fair price on handguns if you looked. AR-15's were ridiculously high priced. A rifle that was going for $800 in November is now $1200.

...a recent Department of Defense decision to crush once-fired cartridge casings rather than re-selling them to commercial ammunition reloaders caused such a huge outcry that the decision was quickly rescinded.

That's good news. I hadn't heard they backed down on that. I just love paying my own government to steal from me.
