"Have you forgotten the lessons of Waco and Ruby Ridge?"

Those were isolated actions with massive overkill from multiple agencies surrounding their targets. Now imagine just the opposite. Thousands of Waco's in every county in every state. There is not enough LEO and or military to deal with the American public. When they made most SKS rifles illegal in California hundreds of thousands if not several million of these outlawed rifles were never turned in, converted, registered, sold out of state,etc... those people still own them. Now does anyone honestly think that the Federal Government is going to outlaw semi automatic rifles and even if they did would even 10% of the population turn them in before the Supreme Court put a stop to it. If the SCOTUS backed the Federal Governments ban who is going to enforce it? If they even attempted to confiscate guns most people and or states would organize to stop it and than the SHTF.

I have family that are lawyers, including a Deputy District Attorney, deputy Sheriff, retired LEO, active military, and many other people who laugh at such nonsense and idiotic contemplations by people who actually think anyone in this nation would ever give up their arms. Most people in authority would ignore any orders to take weapons from the public on a massive scale. If the Government could muster enough people to take weapons no real Americans are going to give them up. Only illegals, people not born here, or neutered crybabies would obey such nonsense, but real Americans who are truly American would pull the trigger. Millions of us shot each other in the first civil war. These people in the mainstream media,Washington D.C. are nieve fools who do not know the majority of Americans and what we really think and what we are capable of.

Such UN actions and laws are really meant to go after the manufacturers and not the individual.

Bingo. If anything Waco and Ruby Ridge should have taught us that the government agents will not hesitate in employing deadly force if authorized/encouraged.

Moreover, combined with the rash of "single incidents" of lethal and/or 'mistaken' no-knock raids, I think it safe to say that such force is, in aggregate, being encouraged.
