They’ll NEVER take away our guns.
“They’ll NEVER take away our guns.”
Any rational person who realizes that an estimated 300-million guns are owned by our citizens and that trying to take them away is suicide.
>> They’ll NEVER take away our guns.
Don’t be so sure - a whole bunch of us will run down to the Po-lice station like wussy-men and stand in line. (Uh, not me, though.)
Armas? Por qué? El gobierno los protegerá. (Guns? Why? The government will protect you) Fidel Castro
Never say “never.” There is nothing this administration isn’t capable of, nor the congress. If congress thought there was a solid chance of zero being made a dictator in perpetuity through a constitutional convention (after zero has his loyal domestic military in place, which will be made up of an entirely different breed of cat than is in our regular armed forces), they would vote for firearms confiscation immediately because they wouldn’t have to worry about re-election.
Whether they would succeed in the confiscation is another question. I know our first inclination is to believe they’d never succeed, but how many will really stand with us when their lives and their families are threatened? How many would run the risk of being killed and leaving behind several kids with no support? If you carefully read about the discussions, articles, memes, notes of meetings and public speeches surrounding the final days before the Revolutionary War began and continuing after it finally began, you will see that most people were unwilling to risk their lives and take on the British. They were frightened for their families, themselves, the loss of property, and for many other reasons. Any stand against the government places the rebels at a HUGE disadvantage tactically, strategically, financially, and logistically. The government has all the toys, the heavy artillery, the satellites, virtually unlimited resources, the communications centers, the organization - in other words, the infrastructure. No rebel organization has any of that. We live in houses with our family members. We are vulnerable with or without our guns.
What needs to happen more than anything is to start a full marginalization of the left. We’re doing a moderately fair job of marginalizing the slimestream media, but much more has to be done. The brain-dead members of our society who are paying no attention and only get small blurbs here and there from the evening slimestream news and a lefty rag newspaper here and there because they’re too worried about Angelina Jolie’s hair and who’s going to win American Idol have to be reached before we would ever have enough weight to politically overcome and administration movement to take over this country. The left must be completely marginalized. Armed rebellion should be somewhere down around Plan Z on the list of ways to keep our country.
You’re right. They won’t come to your door and take them.
They will, however, stifle related commerce to the point that resupply, repairs and replacement will be nigh unto impossible. They might not be able to eliminate ‘em, but they can suffocate practical ownership. (Hey, how’s your militia-standard M16 holding up? oh, that’s right, you can’t buy a new one and can’t afford an old one...)
