Since Senator Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) massive gun control bill is going down in flames due to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) decision to stop it in its tracks, that didn’t mean that the gun grab was over. In fact, that seems to have been all political theater. The real threat comes in Harry Reid’s own S 649 bill, or as its innocuous title is referred to as Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013. It’s anything but safe for communities, schools or freedom and has sweeping legislation that has the potential to destroy gun ownership in America. Because of its introduction last Thursday, it will probably be brought up immediately following the Easter recess.
The bill’s summary says that it is “To ensure that all individuals who should be prohibited from buying a firearm are listed in the national instant criminal background check system and require a background check for every firearm sale, and for other purposes.”
According to Gun Owners of America:
We expected it to contain the Veterans Gun Ban, which would mean that you would sell, gift, or raffle a gun in America at the risk of a 15-year prison sentence because of something you didn’t know about the veteran/buyer.
But, surprisingly to us, the Far Left has convinced Reid to include the original Schumer version of the Universal Registry Bill. This would ban private sales of firearms, unless purchasers first get the permission from the government. If Senators can pass this de facto registration bill, they will be well on the way to confiscation (see, for example, Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York, who has a gun owner registry and has called for gun confiscation). If this bill is passed, Senators will claim that they “broke the back” of gun owners in America.
GOA also pointed out that “there is still every evidence that Reid will move to proceed to the bill under ‘regular order,’ which means he will need 60 votes to advance to the ‘gun control buffet.’”
The only “no compromise” Second Amendment organization also said that “anti-gun zealots have begun to use the ‘ObamaCare Paradigm’ to threaten, bribe, and coerce senators into submission on the most far-reaching aspects of gun control, including Feinstein’s proposal to ban shotguns, rifles and handguns that millions of Americans legally own. So if the ‘motion to proceed’ to S. 649 is adopted with 60 votes, then Feinstein’s ban could be passed in the Senate with only 50 votes (plus Biden).”

I would rather go down in a blaze of glory to support the Second Amendment. We all die someday. Might as well make it worth while.
Why don’t YOU grow up, Sport.
Folks that think and live as defeatist cowards, are seen as lowlifes by me, Sport.
I have formulated my reply years ago
TT
It’s not whether people will turn their guns in if told to do so.
It’s whether people will start shooting if they’re told to turn in their guns.
When you are standing in line, waiting to board the cattle cars...I won’t be.
Well they ain't listening or deterred.
This may be a case of "use it or lose it" - 2A.
I figure most democrats will turn them in. They’re stupid enough to vote for obama. And many conservatives will turn them in. That’s why I say most would do as told.
A good friend of mine just said the same thing. His exact words were “You’re gonna’ die anyway.”
But what I expect is a few highly publicized shootouts with someone who wouldn’t turn in their guns. And they’ll keep happening until quite a few people die. Then more and more people will start to comply. They don’t want to arrest people. They don’t have enough prisons to hold them and the court system would be overwhelmed. They want compliance.
I think gun removal is just like gay marriage. It’s inevitable. I am not a defeatist, but looking at the trends in this country currently, we have no backbone, collectively speaking.
Even if there is armed insurrection, it will not be large enough to support a full rebellion. And who knows what the troops who will be sent to fight will be told about you? Who knows what your fellow Americans will be told about you? After all, you are shooting at the government in your insurrection which automatically places you on the DO NO TRUST list of the public.
When Americans started accepting limitations on any of their rights as outlined in the Constitution, is the day gun confiscation was started. The Bill of Rights requires inflexibility on the part of the people over those rights. We are no longer that kind of society.
Good, if most of the liberals turn theirs in, it will make American Revolution II a bit easier
Great point! Maybe ALL of the liberals will turn in their guns. Then we can use them for shields.
“Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013”??? Okay America, are you FED UP and TIRED of this PSY OPS BULLSH*T?

Well maybe the liberals will turn them in but compliance on gun confiscation programs around the world has been very low...well under 50% by estimates.
“The Bill of Rights requires inflexibility on the part of the people over those rights. We are no longer that kind of society.”
For those who are in support of taking the guns, you need to ask yourself a very important question, and I am not just talking about the politicians, because if you support them, you have chosen your side.
Are you willing to die to take my guns?
