As the Obama administration openly vows to use unconstitutional “executive orders” to further infringe on the right to keep and bear arms, gun rights activists, members of the law enforcement community, military personnel and others are pledging to resist. Everything from an armed uprising and nationwide civil disobedience to legal means of resistance like the courts and nullification is being openly discussed online and even in the establishment media.
“The president is going to act,” pledged Vice President Joe Biden, who is leading an administration task force to further restrict gun rights in the wake of the Newtown massacre. "Executive order, executive action can be taken, we haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and all the rest of the cabinet members, as well as legislative action we believe is required."
The Constitution, of course, reserves all legislative powers to Congress — not to mention the specific prohibition against infringements on gun rights contained in the Second Amendment. But disgraced Attorney General Eric Holder, who is helping develop the “executive action” plot, was caught in the 1990s on video calling for a tax-funded campaign to “brainwash” people against guns. He was also held in criminal contempt of Congress for lying about Operation Fast and Furious, which saw the Justice Department providing thousands of powerful guns to Mexican drug cartels through the ATF...

The “Million Man March” that nobody really wants to see.
Ceterus paribus, there is no distinction ‘twixt the twain.
Which means: all things being equal, there is no meaningful difference between a sham executive order freezing transfers and your “outright ban” idea. No difference at all. Both would infringe (to violate, transgress, breach: an intrangigent verb, from the Latin frangere ‘to break or crush’) a self-evident Right of the People.
+1 sort of like the FReepers that still stuck behind RINOs every election to be able to eventually get a more conservative candidate (which still hasn’t happened).
Resist!Resist!Resist!Resist!Resist!Resist!Resist!Resist!
People will start recording the names and addresses of those working to confiscate guns. They need to put their head on a pillow each night. That is simply the cold hard truth.
Going this route would not serve anyone, but then we have seen that obama cares not one iota about this country.

That’s the way its done. No large confrontation. Take em out one at a time.
As I’ve been telling all my friends for years never trust our government , they will lie to us and not think twice about killing ya.
I want a drone.
If a conservative happens to not like guns, he'll say "Don't buy one!"
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he says "BAN THEM!!!"
I had a dream day before yesterday of driving down a street and Redcoats were jeering at me and the blue helmeted UN soldiers were all Chinese.
I suspect they will get our guns, but not in the way they expect.
Marbury vs. Madison USSC, “Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void”.
An uprising is exacty what obozo wants. It will give him the excuse to declare Martial Law.
You are right. He will then be free to use whatever means at his disposal to bring tyranny to this country forever. We must only resist through peaceful means. I endorse Glenn Beck’s idea on the matter.
Okay, I don’t know what this is all about. I don’t think anybody is saying Obama will ban all guns but some guns (I know nothing about guns), so what—precisely, in layman’s terms, is this all about?
So if I understand you correctly, your basic argument is that the left will succeed in enslaving us because we will be intimidated by Obama’s thugs as they rape our Constitution and we will collectively lose our nerve to fight back in any meaningful way.
I don’t think so. It’s like the speech in Bravheart, where he asks them, “what will you do without freedom?”
Yes, there are some who will wilt under the threat of real loss, as you suggest.
But I put it to you that there are others, many others, who will look down the road and will see that avoiding the conflict now, while we still have our chance to act together, will only lead an equally deadly situation in the future, only then it will be much harder to act than it is now.
And as in Braveheart, the question will be, when you die alone in your beds, bereft of your freedoms, will you regret not having chosen this moment, right now, to look the enemy in the eye and take your stand for freedom?
