Buchanan: "There Would Be A Revolution" If Government Confiscated Weapons (video)

PAT BUCHANAN: There are three million ArmaLite rifles, those Bushmaster types, out there right now. And people are buying them like hotcakes, every gun show the sales are up enormously. Forty-one percent, they were up in December -- for last December, which was a record year. John, what is common though, Eleanor [Clift] is correct, the push is going to come on three things. Grandfather in the assault weapons that are here now, to try to outlaw assault weapons, outlaw magazines that carry more than 11 or 12 bullets, and also background checks at gun shows.

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN: With no Second Amendment, Congress could pass a law, as limited as this: banning assault rifles or as sweeping as prohibiting all private firearm ownership and requiring the surrender of all privately held firearms.

BUCHANAN: There would be a revolution in this country!

MCLAUGHLIN: Baloney! That doesn't mean you can't own one, but you have to put it in first and then go try --

BUCHANAN: There are 270 million guns in this country right now, John, and there adding to them at a rate of 16 million a year.

I believe they may be ahead of Shakespeare’s “lawyers” in the minds of many.

We will see when those millions of patriots march on Washington in protest.

Not gonna happen.

The most you will see is tragic stories of what happens to the stupid bastards that try to implement a non-acceptable edict.

Let’s say you have an old guy or someone with a terminal condition. Do you think that guy is going to give a flying blank about obeying on order to surrender his guns when a few brainwashed 21 year old punk cops come to the door and try to take the guy’s firearms?
There will be a bunch of people who will lose it because they have nothing to lose.

The 22nd is the day after MLK day. Much will be made of that death.

1/22/1973 – The Supreme Court of the United States delivers its decision in Roe v. Wade, legalizing elective abortion in all fifty states.

If Obama wanted to merely ban guns, he would do it in stages, so we get used to the restrictions, as in boiling the frog. I think he wants that civil war so he can make himself a dictator.

He will be one of the first casulties

Idiot self worshiper lives in a bubble and has no idea the firestorm he is facing.

All these people screaming that want our guns are unarmed and untrained in anything except sucking the government tit and making stupid laws for the rest of us to live under.

Most military people I know will go home before they ever try and confiscate weapons in this country.

If they send U.N. blue hats they will be gleefully ripped to shreads on day one !

Bring it on Mr President.

I cannot speak for the rest of the country as I never go above the Mason Dixon line but the South is a gun culture and will not go gently into that good night.

As someone raised in the North East who has (believe it or not) had his "yankee" status revoked by the crackers, red necks, good old boys, etc.... I can tell you with great assurity my former neighbors do not have a clue about what we're like down here.

Worse, they are under the misapprehension that our sensibilities are not as legitimate as their own.

He couldn’t get an 0bamacare bill out of the House, either- even with democrats in dominance. That’s why the Senate took a bill that had passed, yet had absolutely nothing to do with health insurance, gutted it, & replaced the wording with the insurance bill 0bama wanted.
What would stop them from doing the same thing with the Second Amendment?

The very first thing I noticed was that Tim Caine (at least, I *think* that was Tim Caine...whoever it was) zeroed in on removing the words *being necessary to a free state*. He thought he was being clever by saying to keep “the right of the people to keep & bear arms, shall not be infringed”- but he gave it away:
*necessary to a free state* is the whole point of gun control.

At what point do the people of this country, including & especially those who abstained from voting in the last election (ergo they *do not* support 0bama & the left), REGULATE the leftist agenda that is destroying our country & our lives?
We have no voice but our own.

No one is going to confiscate weapons. Good grief. The only concern will be the amount of regulation attempted. Thinking there is going to be some horde of military, etc going door to door to take weapons is sheer lunacy.

You're interfering with the right to rant.

"Because there is no one out there that is willing to martyr themselves in the name of freedom."

I didn't fight for America overseas to see our constitution trampled by Obama and the current Washington elites.

I can't think of a better way to go if I have to go.

My feeling is that many highly trained military men and former military men will feel the same.

The elites think they will be left safely above all this. They figure the low info folks will soak up all our ammo and then they will oversee the reconstruction with a much more progressive “2nd new deal”.

"I think the Left is trying to incite violence. "

Funny thing about that is the left is unarmed.

Don’t delude yourself about. They have plenty of guns.

I’ve lived a good long life as well. I only fear the nursing home and the fat government stooge nurse putting me out of my misery with a pillow.

The 2nd Amendment holds up any other guarantee the founders made to me. Without it, there’s nothing but slavery and oppression anyway.

I think they will soon find themselves vastly outnumbered.

I'm 99% sure were going to find out.

They don't think so.

If you have NetFlix, watch the show they have on "New York CounterTerrorism." It is indeed, impressive, in its context.

Eight or ten 250 lb. cops in full battle-rattle, toting M4s can be very intimidating....until you drop them into the middle of the crowd that shows up for a "work day" at the average Southern hunt club: then, not so much....

It has already happened. Don’t you remember New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina? Police and National Guard went door to door illegally confiscating guns from all citizens. If you think “it can’t happen here,” then you’re dead wrong.

So the guncollector drives up in a Chevy S10, carries a clipboard with her to your front door, and asks for your guns. What do you do next?

1. Act real nice.

2. Give her grampaw's shotgun.

3. Follow her home.

4. At an opportune time and place, remove her from action. And get my shotgun back :-)

So help me God.

Note: The oath is for an indeterminate period; no duration is specifically defined.

Depending on the outrageousness of the Executive Order, I expect demonstrations at a minimum ( and accompanying false flag response) and more likely prolonged violent action and reaction from all sides.

Nothing Omuslim could do would be more provocative to Americans, other than banning Chritianity and Judaism.

America is likely to become like Vichy France, with an active Resistance committed to removing the nationalist socialists and communists by force.
