Here’s a riddle, but it’s not funny, and I’m almost afraid to contemplate the answer:
What do you get when you cross aggressive government attempts to strip citizens of their Second Amendment rights with at least 65 million American gun owners, who have just bought roughly 65 million more guns in only the last four years? Let’s just say, “trouble” could be a euphemism for an answer.
Those aggressive moves include Democratic politicians in Missouri and Minnesota introducing legislation to confiscate “assault weapons” from law-abiding citizens, who would become criminals if they refused to give up their lawfully purchased property.
In New York state, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo rammed through an expanded ban on so-called assault weapons, requirements for background checks just to buy ammunition, or to do private sales of personally owned firearms.
Hundreds of angry New York gun owners are protesting bitterly.
Those outrages come along with Sen. Diane Feinstein’s attempt at a more-restrictive new national assault weapons ban. That effort seems to be morphing into a debate over “universal background checks.” Such checks sound reasonable until you understand that it sets the stage for gun registration, which is a prelude to confiscation.
Even the term “assault weapon” is fiction, a political creation. In fact the notion of an assault weapons ban doing any good is put to the lie by the U.S. Department of Justice’s own National Institute of Justice which noted this year, “Assault weapons are not a major contributor to gun crime.” The same report also reveals the ineffectiveness of so-called large capacity magazine bans short of draconian measures. It flat-out says universal background checks won’t work without gun registration.
Oddly, the renewed efforts by liberal politicians to clamp down on private gun owners comes as the Department of Homeland Security is moving to buy...

Deny. Defy. Do Not Comply.
Politicians know an election is due in 14,if they vote the wrong way it will be their last election.

Let’s skip the euphemism and say revolution.
Not the “revolution” part, but at least the recognition that something appears very wrong & very off...
In a nutshell. this is like a game of chicken between a 1974 Dodge Charger and a 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo whee no one is willing to turn. This will not end well if they keep pushing and pushing.

Their goal is to make voting an exercise in futility and they have very nearly achieved that goal already. Their fear of elections is rapidly diminishing. The ballot box is not the box that will stop them, especially when the ballot box is replaced by an electronic black box that can be programmed to produce the desired result regardless of the intent of the voters.
A philosophy of hate prevails today..
If arrested demand a jury trial
It worked for OJ. No way I sit on the jury and convict anyone of keeping his legally bought weapon, and he hasn’t broken any other law.
The reason politicians want these guns banned is not because they are a danger to us.
They do not give a **** about us.
It’s because they are a danger to them.
Most importantly - "Deny". Don't ever ever tell anyone what you have or don't have. Just lie! Yes, I said lie to anyone who is not your most trusted compatriot.
In this age of Constitutional shredding, no one should have any moral obligation to tell the truth to any who would strip you of your natural right to defend yourself and family. Just lie, and feel good about it.
Political power flows out of the end (as in confiscation) of barrels.
As this ‘shredding’ continues, I am no longer able to consider myself a law-abiding citizen but rather a peaceable one......until I can’t.
I like the idea of jury nullification.
Their goal is to make voting an exercise in futility.
They do fear election because so many states are changing election rules.
Motor voter law
Photo ID laws
No electronic votes
Why do you think they are fighting so hard to stop the changes.
Romania. Just put it on the table.
Hating the good (specifically, individual freedom) is what prevails today.
The tide will not turn until they fear us more than we fear them.
Thanks Travis. Graphic and to the point. God Be With Us!
