No One is Coming to Take Your Guns (bozo editor alert)
The Daily Star ^ | 2/16/2013 | Sam Pollak

Posted on 02/16/2013 10:10:42 AM PST by freeandfreezing

I have some very disappointing news for some of the more-virulent foes of sane gun-control legislation.

If you’re what the National Rifle Association loves to call a “law-abiding American citizen,” no one is going to take away your guns.

"Is pollack unaware of proposed legislation or legislation passed in New York?"

Guess he's 'O.K.' with changing the rules in the middle of the game...as long as it favors his side/beliefs.
2nd amendment protections are not subject to the whims of majority opinion.
I imagine that in the middle of Stalin's purges, individuals rights to defend themselves were suddenly more popular than ever before...

THEY WERE ALREADY HERE!

Can you say “KATRINA”..THEY came for the guns and took the guns. But of course, it was an Emergency...a Crisis. Ha.

I sent an email correcting Mr Pollack, and it bounced back. This often happens with leftist newspaper editors. They don’t want to hear the truth.

I guess, then, I really will be one of the 1%ers. I am not going to register anything, nor will I voluntarily comply.

Yup. As a famous Houston John Law once said (Johnny Holmes, former District Attorney of Harris County),

"I'd rather face a grand jury five times a day than go before the medical examiner once."

The other old saw about that is, "Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six."

Like all liberals, he is ignorant of the facts and considers himself smarter than anybody who disagrees with him.

Or he is a lying propagandist.

This is easy to refute – simply copy and paste quotations and links for the variation socialist luminaries of the left calling for CONFISCATION and variations thereof.

The best is the quotation from Andrew “Gun Confiscation” Cuomo:

“Confiscation could be an option” Andrew Cuomo http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/nyregion/cuomo-says-he-will-outline-gun-measures-next-month.html?_r=1&;

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz Talks Gun ‘Confiscation’ http://newsbusters.org/blogs/dan-gainor/2012/12/16/msnbc-s-ed-schultz-talks-gun-confiscation

Muhlbauer: Ban, seize semi-auto weapons http://carrollspaper.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=14934&TM=35600.75 State Rep. Dan Muhlbauer, D-Manilla, says Iowa lawmakers should ban semi-automatic guns and “start taking them” from owners.

Feinstein: ‘Purpose Is to Dry Up the Supply of These Weapons Over Time’ www.weeklystandard.com/ blogs/ feinstein-purpose-dry-supply-these-weapons-over-time_697629.html Diane Feinstein on Gun Control “Turn ‘Em All In!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-b45FdDN3s&feature=player_detailpage

San Diego Police Chief William Lansdowne, said in the interview it may take a generation, but guns will eventually be taken off the streets through new laws. http://www.washingtonguardian.com/top-cops-get-political-guns

There are other examples of course; this is just a sampling.

Apparently he is unaware that in two states now, leftist Democrats are demanding the surrender of guns under the threat of severe criminal punishment.

Oh, I get it, he is parsing. That is, they aren’t coming for your guns. They are making you turn them in. And if you don’t, they are coming to arrest *you*.

It’s kind of subtle, like saying that “The Nazis didn’t gas the Jews”, because it was the gas that gassed the Jews.

He’s right to a degree; no one will take away my guns while I am still alive - and I’ll do my best to take a whole bunch of them out first!

This wisdom from those who somehow believe they will be specially protected from unpleasantries, unlike the rest of us. Like that famous Obama dreamer said, “If I help him, he gonna help me.”

Apparently Mr. Pollack is a useful idiot...

Little does he realize he will be one of the first stood up against a wall and shot...being a newspaper editor...

A party loyalist will take his place to make sure only the paper prints only what the regime wants it to print...

No, it's worse than that. He's a doubleplusgood duckspeaker spewing prolefeed to low-information voters, to encourage them to inform on OldThinkers.

It's an opening offer of the illusory security of tyranny for people who would "crouch down and lick the hand" that feeds them.

Wait until the low-lives find out the Government is coming for their gold chains and watches. Of course, that will be after the Government takes away other people's retirement funds to force them to depend on monthly checks from President Rahm and President Hillary and President Schumer and President Castro and President Chelsea (elected by the acclamation of the Whole People, 2044).

Yeah, it'll be a long time before the storm troopers come for Trayvon's jewelry.

.....enter your home on trumped up charges ....

You forgot the part about "special" tear-gas rounds (like the infamous "ferret rounds" of Waco) that are basically incendiaries intended -- with plausible deniability, of course -- to burn you alive in your house.

The police did that again just the other day. Of course, I'm unsympathetic toward the cop-killer, but the police did show their m.o. for dealing with resistance. We now have the examples before us of

How many more examples do we need? Get a warrant, kick the door, kill everybody in sight if they resist.

To: who knows what evil?

“Just about everyone in a ‘blue region’ has a lefty neighbor just dying to ‘squeal’.”

It’s been said that for every paid Gestapo or KGB agent, there were at least five informants who snitched on their neighbors either to curry favor or to save their own hides.

We used to limit knowledge of the guns we owned to minimize the possibility of theft. Now you have to be careful in case your next door nosy decides to strike a blow for the new Obama order & rat your @ss out.

Years ago there were government 1-800 snitch lines. Now, as noted, it just takes a `textie’ with your address in it.

Watch for blue state governors to proclaim the necessity for neighborhood watch committees and for family doctors to report those not answering truthfully on standard lifestyle questionnaires.

The commentors at the site are doing a pretty good job of supplying Mr. Pollak with a new anal orifice. Makes me feel warm and happy so many people know ‘zackly what’s at stake here, and what the LIEberals are trying to do. Let’s hope enough Rat Congresscritters and Senators up for reelection can hear them. I think the Pubbies are, for the most part, in a safe place. I don’t think even Collins will burn us on this.

Yeah, I'm a "law-abiding citizen"... until they change the law.

Great stash of quotes from notable grabbers .... stolen!

I was a little surprised to see Charles Krauthammer running with that bunch, but as another thread's discussion article pointed out, gun control is really about "inferior control" and widening the social distance between self-privileging s.o.b.'s and everyone else.

BTW, DiFi's last name is spelt "Feinstein".

What kind of formatting did you use on that post? Drove my WordPad crazy, I had to save it as a flat file to NotePad instead.
