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.

Also well said!
I have a feeling that if they really got stupid-—patriots would be coming out of the wood work.
The heart of this country is God. If we stand, He will stand with us.
As long as "The People" are given the unfettered ability to copulate, drink and drug themselves, evacuate their bowels, snore and attend the games there shall be no revolution if guns are seized.
We Are Americans
and This is Our Home!
Not yet Sarge
No not yet
Still too many of us old timers left.
They made their move too soon
Yeah
It’s OUR house and we make the rules
Yessss. We need an Argentinian desaparecidos movement here. Imagine: a prissy, francophile MSM "commentator" staggering home from a drunken Georgetown orgy. A black SUV pulls up alongside him...he's never heard from again. Ah, I can dream, can't I?
“patriots would be coming out of the wood work.”
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.
I think the Left is trying to incite violence.
The South shall rise again?
Well I’m from southern Missouri.
Close enough
From my cold dead hands....are you listening Obama?
Oh he hears you. You’re just tempting him now to do what he really wants to do anyway....
Perhaps, but I still prefer my 30-30 ‘94. :)
They most certainly did not! Their media "advocates" did. That is no where near the same thing.....
.... Well I dunno ...... I actually thought that this past Federal Election was the start of the great revolution ... the return to a Constitutionally run government. What did we get after the great cry of FREEDOM was ringing from the voices of all who saw the threat that was facing this nation? ...... We saw too many of those mighty warriors staying at home .... and while they stayed in the comfort of their homes...... the nation fell to the socialists.... the same threat that we have sworn to fight since the birth of this nation.
... In short .... I guess you could say that ..... when they come for our guns ..... HOLY CRAP!!!! We are suddenly mighty warriors for freedom!!!! But when they came for our country ...... too many of us yawned and left the task up to the "Other Guy." And I think we all know who that "Other Guy" is ...... It's anybody else but you.
.... So ... I am sure Pat Buchanan meant well and I admire his exuberance by making that statement. But .... you will have to excuse me if I don't believe that there are enough of us left with a belly for an actual revolution.
.... Yes ... there just may be a lot of noise that is comprised of hot air .... but when the actual fight came ..... I would bet that .... too many would just stay home .... and ... yup ...... leave it up to the "Other Guy" to do all of the dirty work.
Ten thousand Ruby Ridges scattered across the land.
That makes at least 2 of us.
“When we go underground the opposition get stronger. Thats a tactic of the left. We didnt go underground, we were driven underground.”
Solid foundations are best destroyed by shifts in their undergound moorings.
Amen to you sir.
I’m a bit younger, but still well past the point where the end became a reality. The only question left is how to go out, or, as was well said in the LOTR: “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
Peace be with you.
I think your missing the big picture. The debate is at an end. It ended long, long ago. Only those who would seek to disarm you to effect control of you press for greater authority to so. They are usurping authority they have no right to assume regardless of their number. They may pass any law they wish. They will necessarily have to employ force to enforce their edicts. To do so they will violate natural law. Just say, “No!” and mean it. Violent resistance should be presented upon the first and every following instance of enforcement. If it is not we all may as well step aboard the Red Car. (See A. Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago for further edification.) I am not their chattal. My response will be “No!” You speak for yourself based upon your convictions. But bear this in mind. “Every man has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself.” A. Solzhenitsyn - The Gulag Archipelago I won’t be on that march down road to hell with you. I know the score and the pain only lasts for a short time.
Your strawman comment about "hordes of military...going door-to-door" aside, does outlawing some guns and some clips come under the heading of "regulation" in your book or did that slip your mind?
Why don’t they go to the hood and take away the stolen guns from the brothers and all of the gangs. They come after, the law abiding citizen, there will be a revolution, no doubt. Go out in the poor areas and listen to the home folks and the middle class. Everyone, that I talk to, says hell no to more gun control. I think truly the wacko style dems (who do not like the American traditional set up; our constitution), are hoping to make a group of us law abiding citizens snap. Hold on and be cool out there. ( The libs are making certain Americans literally distrusting them with their dictatorial intentions), so I understand there’s a distrust and it’s normal to have it.
