At which point obeying the NFA regulations on AOW, SBR, destructive devices (explosives) and Machineguns becomes effectively null and void.
You want to send me to jail for all that? Democrats better consider this old maxim very, VERY carefully.
The first one is expensive; after that, the rest are free.
Better hurry, because that will be illegal within one year, under the rubric of "closing the gunshow loophole" (sic). The purpose of said law, (so named to gull the rubes), will be to prohibit any off paper sales.
Good to see you posting.
Or as some put it, "Thanks for carrying my gun until I needed it."
The real question is, when they come to confiscate them, what will you do (no bravado, what will you really do?) Even presuming that we as a country have plenty of warning (which is why the libs hate FR so much), what then? Hand them over, or what? I ask because I have no doubt that the libs plan to pick us off one at a time. Send the BATFE here, send them there, etc. It’s one thing to buy all the guns and ammo you can, the question is, when the Marxists try to confiscate all guns, are you prepared to meet them with a pitched battle (and don’t forget that they’ll have air, NVG’s, etc.)
I don’t mean to put all this on you personally, but I think I need to raise the question since I don’t see anyone asking it.
Several thoughts...
Hussein has already announced his plan to use EO’s...can he use this method to overturn state CCL permits? Ban specific items (50 cal rifles)? Close the gunshow “loophole”?
We know these orders would be pushing the limits, but that doesn’t mean the great Hussein can’t try...after all, what are the actual limits on this EO power? ...and how long would the resulting court challenges take? This would accomplish his goals and still keep the heat off his newly elected Dimmie cronies in Congress.
Another thought...all this talk about his “Civilian Security” goons reminds me of portions of “Turner Diaries” where the govt used gangs and cons to collect the guns and have some fun. Wouldn’t it be ironic to see that much-maligned novel become reality? Who’da thunk it?
The first one is expensive; after that, the rest are free.
Yep. In for a dime, in for a dollar.
Such a definition would render the overwhelming majority of home-defense weapons in this country illegal. This would amount to instantly banning tens of millions of currently legal weapons bought for home defense. Where and when did Obama make such a statement?
A bill, even a speech, outlining that definition of ‘assault weapon’ would lead to political revolt at the very least. Even the Assault Weapon/Law Enforcement Protection Act bill posted earlier would go too far - as well as make my shotgun illegal due to its muzzle break (standoff barrel) and heat shield.
I wish I could remember who the moron on this forum was who told me “The Democrats aren’t going to pursue gun control because it’s a vote loser for them.”
No reason for that. I should have been more explicit.
Someone else has begun to address this issue (not me, BTW). I’m not saying, in a public forum, what I may or may not do. Heck, until something actually happens that puts you into a position of having to make a decision, NO ONE knows what they’ll do. Sometimes trained soldiers run away from a battle screaming like little girls, and sometimes 110-pound women will take on 5 muggers at once.
That all said, here’s an interesting read: http://westernrifleshooters.blogspot.com/2008/11/vanderboegh-six-apostles.html
By the way, the rest of the “Absolved” series on that website is very entertaining and, uh, thought-provoking.
I hope that enough Dems realize this to bottle up anything in committee. I fear that many of the Dems view what the American public would do through their own eyes - and THEY would never disobey the .gov. They cannot, for the most part, fathom the idea that someone would actually resist (except for a few crazies, of course - and that's what the various federal tactical teams are for, in their view).
That has been the problem with those attempting to mess with the US for the last 100 years - the Germans twice, the Japanese and Mr. Saddam Hussein twice - none of them thought that we'd fight, bleed and crush them, so they attacked us or our interests. If the left wing of the Dem Party miscalculates in a similar manner...let's just say that it won't be very pleasant.
Heh. I have the movie on DVD. Irish family on my dad’s side, don’t ya know.
