I have some very disappointing news for some of the more-virulent foes of sane gun-control legislation.
If you’re what the National Rifle Association loves to call a “law-abiding American citizen,” no one is going to take away your guns.

Thank you Mr. Pollack, so glad to hear it.
And no one is coming to shoot your children either.

If you’re what the National Rifle Association loves to call a “law-abiding American citizen,” no one is going to take away your guns.
That sure is a smartass remark. What does his "government" call "law-abiding American citizens"? They call freeloaders who are dependent upon the U.S. government, "hard working Americans who play by the rules", so I wouldn't pay much attention to what they call gunowners.
Received a letter from Dianne Feinstein stating she is going through with gun control that has central to its intent of removing weapons from or homes.
This Pollack fellow isn’t informed - he doesn’t know the laws just passed in New York, Mass., and other states that outlaw weapons some gun owners already have and others can’t buy anymore. Pollack shouldn’t be writing about that which he does not know.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SISKIYOU IN SUPPORT OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
WHEREAS, the American people have retained to themselves the right to “keep and bear arms” – a right not subject to infringement by Congress as is memorialized in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, as part of United States Bill of Rights, ratified on December 15, 1791; and,
WHEREAS, Cooper v. Aaron held that since the Supremacy Clause of Article VI made the U.S. Constitution the supreme law of the land and Marbury v. Madison gave the Supreme Court the power of judicial review, the precedent set forth in Brown v. Board of Education is the supreme law of the land and is therefore binding on all the states, regardless of any state laws contradicting it; and,
WHEREAS, a landmark decisions issued by the United States Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller established that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm from federal infringement unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that Arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as, but not limited to, self-defense within the home; and,
WHEREAS, the Court in McDonald v. City of Chicago established that the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution extended protection of the individual right to keep and bear arms to the several States under due process provisions of that Amendment; and,
WHEREAS, the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government; and,
WHEREAS, the government of California has repeatedly released violent criminals back into its’ lawful society; and,
WHEREAS, according to Merriam Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, the word “infringement” means “an encroachment or trespass on a right or privilege” – in other words a violation or constraint upon a right; and,
WHEREAS, sadly, recent high profile events within our country have sparked discussions of gun-control at the local, state and federal levels, which have advanced proposed legislation which professes to address gun violence, while, in fact, infringes upon Second Amendment rights - (this has included numerous gun and ammunition control proposals, outright gun bans as well as registration schemes that would convert the right into a revocable privilege); and,
WHEREAS, the County of Siskiyou’s economy is supported by family ranching, farming and natural resource businesses, and that the right to keep and bear Arms is fundamental to our right to protect our families, our property, our livestock, and our livelihood; and,
WHEREAS, as a “frontier county,” hunting for food is a practice among many residents and, as a sport, hunting makes an important contribution to the local economy; and,
WHEREAS, the residents of this County respect the rights protected by the Second Amendment through the recognition and support of responsible firearm ownership, training and awareness; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Siskiyou supports all discussions seeking new ideas to protect our citizens from violence but cannot abide by any order, provision, law or agency initiative that violates the protections of the Second Amendment.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Siskiyou County at a regular meeting of said Board, held the 12th day of February, 2013, by the following vote of said Board:
Ayes: Armstrong, Kobseff, Bennett, Criss, Valenzuela
Noes: None
According to Mr. Pollack, as long as there is a list of government approved firearms, nobody is taking your guns away. They’re just limiting what sort of guns you can have. Until they put those guns on the banned list, too.
Perhaps not confiscate your guns, but add new odious and expensive registration processes, require ridiculous amounts of liability insurance, tax ammunition as to be unaffordable, make your doctor a snitch about guns in your house and cause authorities to seize your guns if you are deemed to be mentally “unstable” by government snooping into your private health records, enter your home on trumped up charges that you may have illegally downloaded some music video or possess kiddie porn seizing your guns in the process not returning them even if you are found innocent or confiscate that old gun your grandfather gave you even if it is not functional simply because some bureaucrat deems it to be an “assault rifle” or has too big a magazine.

No one remembers how friendly and acceptable smoking used to be.
In a divorce proceeding, if the wife asks for a restraining order, it is very common for the Sheriff to take all of the firearms from the husband’s possession... even though he has broken no laws. So much for the “as long as you are law-abiding” part of his lie.
The author wants to see some of his readers arrested on TV (probably hates fatherly, heterosexual men and families). Laws that amount to confiscation are already passing in several states, including Colorado.
“What if you have a firearm that is currently legal to own and may be part of the ban? In order to comply with the new law, we would have to turn in those firearms, right?”
And then if you don’t turn it in? Is pollack unaware of proposed legislation or legislation passed in New York?
First time I’ve met an editor who doesn’t read the news.
His contact info from the article for those who care to enlighten this idiot as to who is coming to take your guns:
spollak@thedailystar.com or at (607) 432-1000 , ext. 208. His columns can be found at www.thedailystar.com/sampollak
The Progressives also told us in 1913, when they changed the Constitution to allow federal income taxation, that it would ONLY be for the super-wealthy, and would NEVER go over 1%. How’s that working out?
I would not trust this guy any further than I could throw Governor Christe.
Just about everyone in a 'blue region' (like New England) has a lefty neighbor just dying to 'squeal'...it's for the children, of course.
But what has the NRA done wrong this year? And there are other choices, too. Second Amendment advocates support all of them now, including the NRA.

Mr. Pollack apparently did not see the police thug body-slam the old lady in New Orleans after katrina to grab her gun, has never read of the many BATF raids on the wrong addresses, and is totally ignorant of the number of legislation currently being introduced specifically to confiscate legally-owned guns. Like all liberals, he is ignorant of the facts and considers himself smarter than anybody who disagrees with him.
