I believe you are very right on this.

On a similar note, my sister is extremely anti-gun, and “progressive” liberal (not a rabid one though), and she tells me that the Brady bunch and MMM are all excited about Hillary or Obama becoming our next President. As she puts it to me, “we” will have the House, the Senate, and the Prez.. Supposedly, they have a number of bills all ready to roll which will effectively eliminate private handgun ownership. Their goal is to have them out of citizen hands by 2012 and they believe this will be their best chance in history to do it.

The thing that scares me, and I hate to say it, is that I think she could very well be right about Dems taking the Prez, House, and Senate this coming election.

"....Dems taking the Prez, House, and Senate this coming election."

All because 'conservatives' eat our own. The litmus test folks would rather hand those offices to the liberals than accept a Republican candidate who is less than pure, pure. That is precisely how we lost the Senate. What a difference one voter can make.

Ask her if she’s going to come to my house, and take mine. And if not, why not.

the democrats know they will never be able to rid america of guns. there are over 300 million in private hands right now with approx 7 million added every year.

handguns are a significant proportion of that 300 million. they are not going to go house to house. SCOTUS will defent the 2nd amendment.

My concern as well. If we loose the elections and thus the Supreme Court we may be dam lucky to keep our fishing gear let alone our treasured guns. The Bill of Rights will become the Bill of Privileged Liberals as they attack to relieve us of what we’ve learned and earned.

Really? They gave that specific year? 2012 is one of the often prophesied dates for the end of the world. The Mayan and Aztec calendars from their time eons ago simply ENDS in the year 2012. ~cue twilight zone music~

Well Sir Fish A Lot, tell your sister that if they dare try that, we won’t need whomever the President is to invoke the Riot Act.

If they want to start CW-2, then they can try. The common saying is "from my cold dead hands", but I intend to keep my hands alive. Can't speak as strongly in favor of those that would aim to disarm me, however.

These idiots don't realize that the teeth of the second amendment is the only thing that keeps the rest of the constitution somewhat intact. Or maybe they do realize it.

have you ever asked her if she truly is anti-gun, or merely anti-MISUSE of gun?

The thing that should scare her is that passing these laws will precipitate a civil war.

Have you told her about the original Hitler disarming the German citizens and what happened to the Jews afterward?

Let not your heart be troubled.

With Hillary running, Conservatives who haven’t voted for years will show up at the polls.

While Republicans don't as of yet have a candidate to rally around just the sound of Hillary's voice makes me wonder if she could pull it off. The dems are masters of lock-step voting but I can't believe independents could stomach listening to that voice in their living rooms for 4 years.

I would LOVE to see the democrats ban handguns via legislation.

I can’t say for sure, but I think it would trigger a catastrophic backlash against the gun-grabbers that would be unstoppable. Republicans would be swept in with landslide victories and the laws would be overturned almost immediately.

Shades of 1994, IMHO. It would set the gun-grabbers back 50 years.

The way the anti-gun crowd is going about it now has been text-book brilliant. They are incrementally chipping away at gun ownership block by block. Using the ATF to close dealers. Banning guns one at a time, starting with those least popular with the non-gun public. Raising taxes, fees and other costs until guns and ammunition are un-affordable to any but the rich.

A bold, sweeping ban would be the dumbest thing they could possibly do. I welcome it!

The first battle of the First American Revolution started when a bunch of gun-grabbers in red coats tried to take guns away from private citizens.
