Well, tumblindice, considering the world that I live in, I have had to come to the following understanding.

The rights that God blessed me with are going to exist in me until I no longer exist.

I cannot speak for others, but I came into this world a free man, and I am going to leave it a free man.

Then we’re of one mind: Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
Check out the movie `Open Range’ if you want to see what two determined free men can do.

Better idea, have federal marshals arrest all the people who vote in favor of the bill and charge them with conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution of the United States.

Sorry for the double post, but it’s worth saying twice.

It passed committee, senate vote tomorrow. Want to close down public shooting ranges among other things. Listening to the discussion on the floor, not one of those voting know a gun from a broomstick!

And what makes me even madder is that the dumba$$ Republicans never use the same tactic!

Instead of embracing the Constitutional side of Ron Paul's ideas and using that as a starting point to bargain with the Communists, the Republicans were busy flaying him in the public square.

Then they'd turn around and compromise with the Dems, AGAIN!.

If the idiots would watch Pawn Stars, they'd know you always start high and bargain down to where you wanted to be in the first place--or you just do not get half of what you wanted.

There’s an interesting paradox, there.

Elected and appointed officials swear an oath to uphold and defend the constitution, but there is no law against “Conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution of the United States”. Instead, the law is against “Conspiracy to overthrow the *government* of the United States.”

By the constitution, the only way to change the constitution is via both the national government and the states. The people are not involved in any way, other than by electing their state and federal government that can do this.

Yet the government also has a free hand in grossly and crudely misinterpreting the constitution, as long as the SCOTUS bends to the will of the POTUS and congress, which has happened too many times to count.

This means that by fully supporting the constitution, in any sane reading of it, can be called illegal if in doing so it requires some “Conspiracy to overthrow the *government* of the United States”, that is *violating* the constitution in defiance of their oath of office.

Why should anyone turn in their guns?

The legislature and governor in Illinois are the ones you should be questioning.

If you ask me, then, go ahead and keep your guns. You have the right, and if Illinois tries to take them from you, bring them to court. ;)

The Dems must be pissing themselves with such glee right now over these proposed gun bans.

Reading this article in full it appears that revolvers will be the only legal handguns in IL.

If I were unlucky enough to live there, I guess my Ruger LCR would be safe, but I would have to give up my other babies? (1911 being one)
