I hope everyone has contacted their senators and congressmen to complain about the use of federal Law enforcement in this illegal gun grab.
I have - I also called NRA.

Can you direct me to the part of the US Constitution that allows the government to suspend the 2nd Amendment? I've searched through my copy and must have overlooked it.
BTW, thanks for the ping.

I guess my point kind of dovetailes with what you were saying...exchange of services. It seems to me that spending 2-3K to protect your home from thugs was a worthwhile investment..especially when the government is coming in with the money guns a blazin'

Here's a paragraph taken from a news story I just read on AOL.
"Police fearing deadly confrontations with jittery residents enforced a new order that bars homeowners from owning guns. That order apparently does not apply to the hundreds of M-16-toting private security guards hired to protect businesses and wealthy property owners."

The locals are proving that they are no more competent than they were 2 weeks ago.

My understanding is that this order is not a ban for ownership in their homes...just a ban for carrying on the streets.
Will wait for more info to verify one way or the other.

And as mentioned by other posters *are they working off some sort of database, and *who is making the call to take legally owned weapons? I think that BATFE has been dialed into the computers and POS (Point-Of-Sale) terminals of FFLs for a good while now.

Everyone toted concealed, hence derringers and other very cocealable types of firearms. Do you mean the Kahr MK9 or the Serbu BFG-50?

Obviously in a time when the civil authority is unable to protect us, we need the ability to let the military do so. it ourselves.

declaration of marshal law?
It's what happens when demonrats are in control.Ya think I'm kidding? Let's evaluate...
LA has empty noggin and bling blingo in charge, surrounded by chaos. Nest door to them is Mississippi.Consider that Halley Barbour and Amy Tuck are in charge there, and they act like it. Witness the difference of Republicans in, vs demonrats. Remember this and think about the demonrats vision of the future. Now that you are fearful, buy as many weapons as possible and make ready for a day we hope never gets here, but be capable of delivering the goods if necessary.
To: George Smiley
That discussion was about carrying 200 years ago.
However if ya wanna loan me the 50 I will gladly test it out for ya!!

Been tested from a prone position, although Serbu's actually got video of somebody firing one from a kneeling position.
Not me, bud.
Kicks less than a .270 when prone, the report is amazing- you can hear it echo in the distance, and the clouds of dust that are kicked off by the streams of gas coming from the muzzle brake are pretty amazing, too.

I wonder if they will be relocating these forced evacuees on cattle cars? The third amendment says:
No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
But it doesn't say anything anywhere about the government not forcing us to house them. Look out.

Have to tell you, b. I NEVER have had much faith in government and believe we must be always vigilant. However, effective disaster management should be one of their basic jobs.

All this reminds me of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" where at the end the rules was replaced with "All animals are equal but some more so than others".
Interesting enough the slang for cops is pigs and it was the pigs who ruled over all in the book.
