>>They’re not stupid. All they lack is control of the House, and just one more mass shooting tragedy during 2013. They will fabricate a tragedy, if need be. It’s so close, they can taste it. They’ve already got the Senate and the White House. They already have the MSM in their pocket. Banks are now falling in line, and refusing to provide financial services to gun shops and distributors. In the weeks ahead, the IRS and ATF will start tying them up with “audits” and inspections. Given what we all know surrounding this issue, and the feds arming up like never before, why would the Dems continue on this line of march? Because it’s for all the marbles. The only thing standing in their way is an armed citizenry. <<

So what if they do pass a law banning all firearms. Are you going to surrender yours?

I hope Americans will comply with an unconstitutional gun ban just like we complied when the feds told us to convert to metric in the 1960s. I hope Americans will comply just like we did when they set a 55 mph speed limit nationwide in the gas "crisis" of the 1970s and 1980s. I hope Americans will comply just like we did when Prohibition became federal law in the 1920s. I hope Americans will comply just like we did with drug laws. I hope Americans will comply just like we did on the requirement to report out of state and Internet purchases and pay state sales taxes on those purchases.

There is a substantial precedent on what to expect, and I expect the national compliance rate to be at worst in the twenties, certainly well below 50%. The real question is how many will see such an encroachment on our God-given human rights as an immediate threat. I hope we will be able to stop or repeal any more gun laws before it reaches that level. With an anti-American bigot who obviously wants unlimited personal power in our White House, I'm not optimistic, but I still hope we will be able to avoid that particular crisis.
