a sweeping executive order banning the manufacture, sale and possession of all semi-automatic firearms in the U.S.

LOL! Good luck with that. They'll want to pack a lunch, this might take a while.

You know, there are plenty of steps to take after a gun ban, but before we have a "hot" civil war. Many acts of protest, breaking the statist's things and equipment, sending messages of resistance, rallying the public to our cause. Lots of things.

But if it comes down to, as Claire Wolfe put it, "shooting the bastards", well, let's just say I ain't planning to turn my guns in.

Maybe it’s obama’s radical plan to reduce the size of government. It’s so stupid, it just might work!

Then it won’t be time to bury any, but dig them up if you need to, clean, oil them, and make sure they are working properly...and start stuffing tin boxes...

It is a common tagline on many different boards, and not just ‘gun boards’, that states:
“when they come to take your guns, give them to them .... ammunition first!”

I believe you will see a sale of all sorts of ‘wheelguns’, and their sort of ammunition.

“Hand a liberal an empty magazine, a revolver, a box of shells for the magazine, and tell them, “to go have some fun!”

I chose to outfit myself in calibers consistent with my adversaries. The way I see it they are there to supply me with an endless supply of ammo.

Your move fascists...

The key here, as always with the left, is not whether they could be successful, but will they think they could be successful?

Wars are started because one side underestimates the resolve of the other and crosses the line. IMO that is what would happen with an EO gun ban. I don’t think they realize the potential consequences of doing that. Which is what makes the situation so dangerous.

If they were at my door at the moment of the announcement, they might have the advantage, due to my temporarily disabling laugh attack.

You’ll turn in your guns, if you’re hungry enough.

Would it be okay if I turned in all my ammo first, one round at a time?

This won’t happen, but if it DID happen, it would be interesting to see how the Feds would enforce it in (say) Texas. Or Oklahoma. Or North Dakota. Or Wyoming.

Congress should immediately move to pass sweeping legislation that makes the use and possession of “moveable type” presses and any other document producing equipment.

There is the little problem of “enforcement”.

1 - Many weapons have NO traceability.

2 - Many places don’t have “registration”, and would have to use ILLEGAL methods of tracing, via background check paperwork.

3 - Who is going to come and get the ones not turned in voluntarily?

How many of you are willing to fight a SWAT team? Has a drone taken radar pictures of your home, and show where every gun is? Think it out people, and don’t become a sheeple.

The left has a group-think going - they've built a consensus around their passion - as if the intensity of beliefs was connected to the truth of those beliefs. We have to learn to talk to them in the irrational ways of their thought processes...

The left would love us to attempt force to their force... trust me, they hate us that much. Traditional Americans are the enemy of the left. Leftists know taking guns from citizens won't make a difference. That's not their goal. A gun grab won't 'protect the children'. They know that - we know that... Too bad their trolls don't know ...

It could happen, but if we follow what Obama has been doing I think it will play out more like this. I really don't think the dems really care about firearms they want to expand government any was they can and the most effective way is through taxes.

So if you want a high capacity magazine you will be able to buy one only there will be a $100 dollar federal tax on it the same for firearms. They could also require a federal license to own firearms. You can bet it will cost thousands of dollars and will have to be renewed every year.

Thanks the the Supreme Court ruling under Obamacare, the federal government now has unlimited authority so long as they call it a tax.

The dems will say that the “fees” collected will go to improving federal mental health programs. Its for the children you know.

The Republicans are walking into another trap.

Confiscating guns would be like sending people into bear caves to remove claws. It could be done, but it would be one ugly mess. I've spent some time with a holocaust survivor and I have listened intently to every word she said about how her rights were taken slowly one at a time. Even as she was walking to the trains with her family, she trusted the Polish government was moving them "for their own safety".

Anyway, I just don't think Americans will be falling for that any time soon. I can't imagine my neighbors hiding their guns away or peacefully disarming. I can imagine them recreating the Alamo redneck style though.

Interesting - I think WND is wrong on the national state of emergency.

I think the office of the president, through executive orders has maintained a continuous official state of emergency in the United States since @1934.

The last time I researched this in detail, under Clinton that was the case (a long standing state of emergency).

Bush continued the practice, but changed the publication/announcement procedures slightly.

The question, that I have never answered to my satisfaction, is “what actions are enabled by the government when there is a declared national emergency, and which ones are currently taking place?”
