There is a huge difference here, and I don't mind saying so in a public forum that the leftists monitor, not if I choose my words appropriately. ObamaCare is evil but reversible, and decent Americans hope to repeal it through additional appeals to the Court, through the ballot box, or through some other approved procedure. Disarmament is permanent and irreversible. That really is the final line in the sand.
I don't know whether 1% or gun owners, 3% of gun owners, or 10% of gun owners will be in the first group to remind the thugs in DC where their power originates, but the 70,000,000 background checks since Obama seized power suggest to me that it will not be 0% or so trivial a number that the far left can possibly win. No decent people will be on the same side as Obama/Pelosi/Bloomburg. The split will be between those who take written law seriously and knowingly defer even to evil and unconstitutional laws, and those who take the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as seriously as the Founding Fathers did. Most of us will not turn in our guns. Most of us will not register our guns. Unlike the Brits, many of us will not meekly hide our guns passively when the far left attempts to take this step.
I hope you’re right. If enough people resist I believe the leftists will back down. At least for a while. But if nothing is done, as has been the case for decades, they will keep coming. And most of the people on the other side will be hurded onto the cattle cars along with surviving patriots. Sadly, those on the other side think we’re all crazy.
I’m sure we all hope they back off.
