Exclusive: Joseph Farah warns, 'Something very bad for America is coming'
(Editor’s note: The following commentary by Joseph Farah is a hypothetical scenario, but one all-too-believable given the anti-gun hysteria in the media and here in the nation’s capital. It is offered in the spirit of what former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel once said: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”)
WASHINGTON – President Obama today issued a sweeping executive order banning the manufacture, sale and possession of all semi-automatic firearms in the U.S.
Obama cited for his authority for the action a national state of emergency that has been in effect ever since Sept. 11, 2001, and renewed annually by both President George W. Bush and Obama ever since. He also cited portions of the Patriot Act that suspend certain civil rights that remain classified.
The dramatic action by the president follows closely on the heels of the Newtown, Conn., massacre of 27 schoolchildren and teachers by Adam Lanza a week ago.
Gun-control advocates have been pushing for tighter gun control ever since the attack on the Sandy Hook Elementary School, the fourth mass shooting in the U.S. in 2012.
Yet the action was surprising because Obama vowed to present a detailed plan of action in January after naming Vice President Joe Biden to head a blue-ribbon panel including Cabinet members, law enforcement officials and various agencies of the government. Biden convened the first meeting of the panel only yesterday.
That’s how quickly it could happen.
That’s how liberty could be lost in America in one day.
For many, today was the day the world was supposed to end, according to the Mayan calendar and other ancient documents.

Could be your inability to make a coherent point?
1 - there aren’t enough LEOs to swarm all owners unaware.
2 - that means millions will see this coming.
3 - i lost everything in a terrible boating accident.
4 - what are the odds folks will fight back?
Actually, I watch the news, with sort of a SIGINT bent, where news story memes have become not a chronicle of the present but a warm-up for the next campaign, in an Orwellian "hate week' fashion.
The "entertainment media" will run parallel to the themes on the news channels.
I was saddened, but not surprised that there was a mass shooting: the press had been ramping up the anti-gun meme (along with the 'entertainment' media) for over a week.
They were setting the psychological stage for outrage before the event happened.
If you watch themes in movies, listen to the retrospective filler 'human interest' pieces, and see where the discussion is going, you can almost be a prophet.
If you don't have something already stashed off site, it is increasingly likely the act of stashing something will finger you in the act.
Banks look for unusual practices, and mine have been to withdraw currency and pay cash. I have done this for years and it is a normal pattern now so it shouldn't trip a flag.
In the end, if you think it might be time to get ready for whatever comes, you are way behind the curve.
That would be a LONG occupation, like the Germans in Yugoslavia. ‘Cept the occupying forces wouldn’t be getting constantly supplied from outside their own theater.
It is like living 1968 all over again.

The “drones” have already completed much of their work, courtesy of google...
The left simply doesn’t understand war. Like I’m going to sit around and bang it out with some swat team with an a APC parked in my drive way! What do they think I’m stupid?
The guy sitting in the APC outside is trying to enforce SOMEONE’S will on me. That “someone” is not a politician because they have no real beliefs about anything anyway. The guy in the APC is trying to enforce the will of those currently calling for me to be forced to submit. When the portion of the public that is calling for me to be disarmed is no longer available for comment, the guy in the APC gets to go home. Get it?
Yeah. I'm sure that's it.
That is correct. I have a Curios and Relics FFL (03) used to purchase Mosins and Mausers a few years back. I also have a CWP with the state of Florida. Those two facts alone will ensure that I get a knock on my door by ATF goons at some point in the future.
There won't be an easy way to escape a tyrannical federal leviathan intent on consuming guns and their owners. My local shop keeps 4473 forms for 20 YEARS. All it will take is a raid on gun shops across the nation, and those forms will be used to create inventories and justify warrants to search and collect every last one of them from every person in America. Since mine are all in a safe that I'll refuse to open, you can bet that they'll rip it from my home's foundation and wheel it out, regardless of contents.
Our only hope for recourse and action is at the state level. Our "representatives" in DC are so busy pigging out at the trough that they'll turn a blind eye to farmer Obama's misdeeds. Our state governors and representatives will hopefully step up and prevent the Federal pig from rooting around in our business. It might take a local or state call to muster a militia, but it will likely happen across more than a majority of the states in the country.
The feds can shut down oil production and delivery. Not a whole hell of a lot of us live next to producing farmland. Those who have been preparing can keep on for a time.- a few weeks to a year or so, but for the anti hoarding measures that will be taken. It will be easy to identify 'hoarders,' anyone who is not emaciating.
And this government is in possession of the technology to find anyone's gun no matter how well he hides it. They can find deeply buried guns from the air and they have drones that will be multiplied and augmented rapidly. We would have to survive until production has degraded to the point that the government is severely limited as to how much of that tech magic it can deploy. There will b e famine in that scenario and the population will reduce fairly quickly.
>> Not a whole hell of a lot of us live next to producing farmland.
It’s going to be hard on some of y’all then. :-)
Some of this is just a little too black-helicopter for me to take seriously.
On the other hand — if it should come to pass — well, a patriot has to die someday, somehow...
May I suggest again that Congress and all Government edits and paper work be done with quill pens and reproduction of those items be done on the old presses! No computer or electronic reproductions.
Ban all Auto Assault Copiers and multi-paper trays!!
Another law should be enacted that makes all Media Talking Heads have a two month waiting period, including a background and safety check.
By the way, I just changed my Church affiliation to St. Samuel Colt. :^}
“It will be easy to identify ‘hoarders,’ anyone who is not emaciating. “
Reminds me of the protagonist in King Rat.
“Caused by a spark in an unfilled center fuel tank...”
“The “entertainment media” will run parallel to the themes on the news channels. “
Interesting ...
I used to notice that a crime show would be based on a real case (child abduction, mass shooter, etc.) but it would be about 6 months after the fact.
Then I realized that lately, there have been very quick responses, on the order of weeks, or almost preceding the event it seems.
Which backs up your theories.
:: Since mine are all in a safe that I’ll refuse to open, you can bet that they’ll rip it from my home’s foundation and wheel it out, regardless of contents. ::
As a service to your customer, I’d recommend some primer cord and blasting caps kept inside that safe with a secure source of remote detonation. Just sayin’...
I ordered a new sub-compact a few days ago. About a week ago, the broker assured me they would have it in two days. At the time of order, they informed me that it would not be in until after Christmas. Due to back logs the delivery time is up from two days to a week.
I guess Obama is once again “Gun Salesman of the Year!”
:: Not a whole hell of a lot of us live next to producing farmland. ::
Which actually points to a proverbial wrench-in-the-cogs. They will also be starving those they would rely on for political support. Hungry urban yutes might not back the nanny-state in a gun-grab-fest.
