A sign of gun owners responding in backlash.

Start by repealing the idiotic portions of the NFA ‘34 and GCA ‘68.

I am not advocating action of any sort but as a practical person I have to wonder if the statists have thought this all through. The answer’s ‘No’ of course but it does reveal their pattern of thought as exemplified by withholding of tax, freezing of assets, no-fly lists and so forth. Bureaucratic tyranny comes (too) easy to them.

But this is a horse of an entirely different color and they seem determined to pick a fight with the wrong people at the wrong time and with too many of them.

Is this REALLY the issue they want to keep at the fore? Victory and defeat would not be marked by a gloating press conference or a smug editorial in a newspaper, and it would not involve enforcement by usury. This involves the pursuit and seizure of real, tangible things of value, the ownership of which just happen to be protected by a specific section of the Bill of Rights. And, oh by the way, they aren’t candlesticks or toothbrushes. They are firearms. It doesn’t take an Alex Jones or G. Gordon Liddy to have an entirely necessary conversation about posse comitatus in the context of whatever outrage Joe Biden et al attempt to foist on their fellow citizens.

2014 and 2016, Dems lose all gains. All 3 branches of govt, fed and state level turn red.

Even if all gun legislation fails, it is too late.

Hey slow Joe, come and try to get my ammo. I’ll send it your way - one at a time. 300 meters is nothing for me to hit a human sized target center of mass.

A massive Pro-Gun rally in DC would be a giant step.

Trust me on this:

The White House is getting ABSOLUTELY FLOODED by phone calls from Democrats in the House and Senate. The DO NOT WANT anything that looks like gun control. They know they are DEAD MEAT (politically, FBI) if anything gets instituted. They are back to being hated lobbyists, with their career in Congress OVER in 2014.

The bottom line is that any Dem that didn’t win by a 30+ point margin will be scared stool-less if they get on the wrong end of gun control. They know this, and they know this very well. They are NOT idiots.

What will happen is that the White House will have to back down from its talk, for the 2014 election will be the biggest WIPE-OUT of Democrats in history, if they get on the wrong side of gun control. The White House wants the House of Reps back - and they know FULL WELL that goal is HISTORY if they push gun control. For that reason they WILL back down - they have much bigger plans for this country than getting background checks at gun shows.

Gun control is a SETTLED ISSUE in this country as there are simply too many gun owners at this point for almost any politician to go against them.

Gun control is not as popular as 0bamugabe and his commie buddys think.

Dems/libs have been making a steady push to limit our right to own guns and reduce the number of guns in private hands for decades now. How has that been working out for them in the last two decades?

If the lefties keep pushing gun control this way in another two decades one out of two Americans may be gun owners instead of one out of three.

MOLON LAVE!

Great article. I love the agression. Why should we cower in the corner when we have the advantage? Will be sending these recommendations and a few other tidbits to my rep, Aaron Schock, who, I am proud to say, is not only 100% NRA-rated, but was out just a few days after Sandy Hook with the same kind of in-your-face push-back this author demonstrates. And if the conduct of the task force is illegal, I wonder what the remedy is? Something to ask Rep. Schock about. Don’t know if he’s aware of the issue.

Where is ANYONE asking about the thousands of ASSAULT weapons deliberately supplied by this very administration to Mexican drug cartels not to mention military weapons running through Benghazi (probably without Biden style background checks)....God help us.

..."there have been concerns expressed that a compromise of some sort might be in the works, particularly if only NRA and industry representatives attend the “stakeholder” meeting, and especially if no record of the proceedings, negotiations and potential concessions is kept. That Congress, and not just ostensibly “pro-gun” representatives, but the soft, squishy middle, will be too spooked to just oppose all “gun control” proposals and feel compelled to offer up something, lest they suffer the wrath of manipulated constituencies, has been a subject of concern among some gun rights leaders, resulting in speculation that either an expansion of mental health disabilities or caving on private sales might be offered up to take the heat off the hardware.

That, of course, would be foolish and divisive, and any “leader” proposing such an intolerable compromise would correctly be perceived as a sell-out by a growing army of gun owner activists who are quickly replacing their natural initial fears with a readiness to fight. They have shown little tolerance thus far for industry members who have abandoned them in this time of need and withdrawn from the field due to posturing before the real battle has even started, and words like “Quisling” are freely and contemptuously thrown about in gun activist forums, along with commitments to boycott those perceived as turncoats, or simply as save-their-own-skin cowards."

Like Hitler, Dear Leader seeks first a "Munich Agreement" before beginning an all out war effort to impose tyranny.

Munich Agreement

The Munich Agreement was a settlement permitting Nazi Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia's areas along the country's borders mainly inhabited by ethnic Germans for which a new territorial designation "Sudetenland" was coined. The agreement was negotiated at a conference held in Munich, Germany, among the major powers of Europe without the presence of Czechoslovakia. Today, it is widely regarded as a failed act of appeasement toward Germany.

Dear Leader invites participants that will give his actions to follow the appearance of credibility and legitimacy. Nothing could be further from the truth as Czechoslovakia would attest then and ALL with the inalienable right to life and the defense thereof will attest now. A committee can not take away that which is endowed all by the Creator!

I’ve heard rumors that the response to gun grabbers will be targeted and surgical. Has anyone else heard this?

Libs pass laws creating gun free zones, then blame lawful gun owners & NRA when it doesn’t work. Turn it around & put the blame on them.

It's hard to believe anyone who owns a gun would vote for Obama, but since he won the election and since we are told he won it decisively, there must be a bunch of such folks. So we have the following conundrum, 88% of the households in the USA own guns and 51% of the people voted for Obama. I just can't make this work in my mind.

Gun owners are genuinely PO’ed at these idiot wannabe dictators. We’re ticked at the entire leftist notion that you must punish the many for the wrongful actions of the few. Tens of millions of gun owners in the US did NOT go on a shooting spree in a school in CT - ever!

Seeing how this government wants to destroy our freedoms, our God-given rights, should there be anything BUT backlash against these fascist/communist punks?

The ONLY gun law this country should have is a simple background check.

At work yesterday everyone was asking who would be the best person to be our local militia leader. We are still looking for the right person as we don’t have a veteran from the sandbox. We might have to just wing it with aan education of what is required to basically teach new recruits on how to take orders, how to orchestrate maneuvers and marksmanship.

Plus a staging area for supplies. We have some connex containers and a parking lot, plus the internet for boot camp procedures.

The good news is all of us are arguably better armed than anyone could understand, seriously armed, we prepped for the last ten years.
