This last election cycle, as well as that of '06 has proved to me that the government will be able to do whatever it pleases without any problems whatsoever.
I'm afraid that beyond ranting and raving on various forums, you'll hardly hear a peep.
Unfortunately, brushcop, you are one of the few on this forum who reads the tea leaves as they are, not as we'd wish them to be. The patriots left, especially those anonymous bigtalkers on FR, can easily be isolated, disconnected and demonized one at a time. There will be no popular Alamo rallying point.
Each admirable holdout will be branded as a polygamist, child molester, religious zealot, or worse, a Palinite Conservative and they will be cornered and isolated while the rest of the country lets it happen.
Just ask anyone on a day FR goes down for a couple of hours how prepared they are that day for a "no-knock" at the door.
Furthermore, I'll even tell you how they'll be able to do it!
Instead of the 19 hijackers on 9/11, give them a deer rifle and a scope and put them in the trunk of an impala like John Muhammed did it in the DC Sniper shootings. Spread those 19 guys out all over the country and multiply the mayhem those two caused by 10, all at once.
Since the badguy is a sniper, he erases our argument for guns for self defense because you can't see a sniper to shoot back. So, Bobby Rush and pals will suggest that all honest citizens should want to turn in their guns, as "only terrorists need guns." And the rest of the sheeple will agree to hope and change for the 2nd Amendment.
Case closed, country gone.
