Not sure what the big deal is here. I’m responding to another post and simply lay out the Democrat strategy on gun control so that people here can be aware of it

So now you're an innocent, simply warning his fellow freeps about the plans of those dastardly Democrats. Geez....

Bob, you know good and well that you slapped down another poster who said we'd refuse to comply with an unconstitutional gun grab. In short, you told him we'd do no such thing, and that we'd willingly give up our guns to fedzilla when they come knocking.

Not just that, but you went into great detail explaining why we'd give up our guns, why few would resist, and even why we'd support disarmament in the end.

It's a despicable screed, and it's right here on this thread for anyone to read.

“Bob, you know good and well that you slapped down another poster who said we’d refuse to comply with an unconstitutional gun grab. In short, you told him we’d do no such thing, and that we’d willingly give up our guns to fedzilla when they come knocking.”

Sorry you’re dragged into this Jim, but I do have to respond here. What I did say is that much, if not most, gun owners, will not make a final stand and hold out against ever-tightening gun-grabbing laws should Democrats be able to get those laws into place. Sure, there will always be people who hold out until the end, even if it means violence. But not most of the country, and not nearly enough for gun owners to ever wield the political power that we have today.

I’ll just repeat what I wrote earlier: As the laws tighten (meaning the cost of ownership rises, along with the risks of ownership), less and less people will hang on to their guns, and less and less new people will even attempt to obtain guns. With that, less and less political power - until you have the Democrat dream of a ‘final solution’, which would be the Australia-type gun confiscation.

Obviously I don’t speak for individuals, including Windflier, or anyone else on this forum. They may well hold out until the end, and maybe with good reason. But I am comfortable speaking for most present-day gun owners in saying that they are law-abiding and most will not risk becoming a felon and having their lives, and that of their families, turned upside down because they hang on to their guns and somehow get caught doing it. They’ll instead take other measures (walls around their homes, security systems, secure door locks, bars over their windows, guarded neighborhoods) as is done in virtually every high-crime area in the world (with Argentina being a perfect example).
