Yep. The next overreaching law they pass, might be the straw that broke the long-suffering camel’s back.
Would you surrender your semi-auto pistols and rifles, if so ordered?
I wouldn’t, and neither would millions of us. The statists might be calculating that this is just the crisis they need, to totally crack down on and smash the “bitter clingers.”
Classic overreach. A law too far.
I do not intend to turn my guns over either, assuming that I have any which would be made illegal.
On the other hand I also don’t intend to stand in the door with my rifle and dare them to come and get them.
The whole subject could spark a lot of ideas and discussions. I don’t think the old “I lost them in a boating accident” would work either.
Saying I needed the money and sold them at gun shows etc. might be believed. I am sure others have better ideas than I do as to elude them. In the end it just might be a firefight which I know I would lose but there would be a lot of ideas tried before it came to that.
If I and a lot of others made the job too dangerous that might be enough, even tho many of us would lose our life.
Re post 56, it seems to me that the banning of semi-automatic handguns and rifles and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds (you had mentioned this on another thread) and making it a felony to own or possess any of these products, would have an interesting side effect.
What if a person is caught with a forbidden product and is tried and convicted and declared a felon. Wouldn’t the authorities be obliged to go take this person’s firearms? What if they attempted this and he or she chooses to blast away? There is no way the MSM could cover that one up. Can you just imagine the reaction in the gun community? Do the authorities want to stir up that kind of hornet’s nest?
They had better think before they act.
