When President Obama spoke in reaction to the heinous October 1 attack on Umpqua Community College, he went beyond his usual calls for more gun control and suggested instead that America consider following the path blazed by Australia and Great Britain.
In the mid-1990s Australia and Great Britain both instituted what were virtually complete bans on firearm possession.
Obama referenced the bans thus:
We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings. Friends of ours, allies of ours Great Britain, Australia, countries like ours. So we know there are ways to prevent it.

You are just plain wrong. My bet is 70% will lock and load if the crisis hits.

That doesn’t make us criminals, it makes the federal government illegitimate and time for the sovereign to deal with the wayward servant.

Even law abiding citizens are buying guns from car trunks, they are legal, but not on some back ground check list. Usually done between friends.

Obama’s already confiscated guns from nearly 200,000 US vets and is going after social security recipients.

A good guess. 3% did the fighting in the American Revolution. They were actively supported by 10% of the population, who in turned were inactively supported by another 20% of the population.
The 3% will know who they are.
To: Pit1
Are you counting multiple gun ownership. Hell, owning 3 or 4 would be normal and that puts the total “gun ownership” much higher.

I think youll find very few will fight. 1 - 3% at best. |
The US Census 2014 Total population estimate 318,957,056. The gun ownership estimate (Statistic Brain Research Institute) sets forth ownership at approximately 34%, 108,445,400.
Even 2% would approximate 2,168,908 (many with multiple guns).
At 3% it would be 3,253,362 (many with multiple guns).
Depending on the scenario, if families, communities, the nation were threatened with the eradication of their way of life, I would surmise your 1-3% figure would increase substantially.

You say that “Americans will not comply.” They meekly comply(with, as Mark Steyn says, the “Bureau Of Compliance”)everything else why should firearms be any different?
This is not the America of the 19th century. This is the New World Order and a nation of urbanized, feminized liberal drones and unassimilated, servile third world immigrants as far from the Minutemen of 1776 as you can get. As far from the men who landed at Normandy or Inchon as you can get.
The American people should be standing outside Planned Parenthood abortion camps with torches. Instead 69% of Americans want to continue funding PP. The same people voted for Barack Hussein Obama not once, but TWICE.
Whatever this nation is, it is not America anymore.

Yep! 3 percent may be correct.
However the opening of the first revolution only had 3 percent active support. The second revolution is already 111-years overdue.

“You are just plain wrong. My bet is 70% will lock and load if the crisis hits”.
I agree. People tend to forget to factor in the “pi$$ed off” mood people are in. And they’d lock and load with relish.
