Gun Owners of America: Time to Let Gun Grabbers Know We Will Not Comply
Breitbart ^ | 11/15/2015 | AWR Hawkins

On November 12, CBS NEWS reported that “White House lawyers” are examining gun laws to find an avenue where President Obama can use executive action to go around Congress and expand background checks to cover private gun sales.

Obama and the attorneys are trying to determine a threshold that private gun owners who sell and trade guns would cross in order to be treated like licensed gun dealers. Once they cross that threshold—which NBC News reported might be “50 or 100 guns a year”—private citizens would be required to go through a licensed dealer and obtain a background check in order to sell a gun to a neighbor, co-worker, or parent. In other words, the private gun sales Americans have conducted since 1791 would be done away.

Guns Owners of America’s (GOA) executive director Larry Pratt recently talked to Breitbart News about this behind-the-scenes maneuver and said it is past time for GOP leaders in Congress to stand up in clear opposition to Obama’s plans. He also suggested it may be time for law-abiding citizens to simply let it be known that they will not comply, much like citizens in Washington state did after Michael Bloomberg and other one-percenters doled over millions upon millions of dollars to expand background checks to private gun sales in that state.

Impossible to enforce without all guns in the US being registered.

Which is why they want the “universal background check,” which is nothing but back-door gun registration.

There needs to be zero percent compliance with registration and confiscation attempts by the police and the government at any level.

Exactly. Next step, of course, is confiscation.

Still not getting it?
They’re not coming for your guns.
They’ll ensure you can’t buy, trade, feed, fix, or sell - at least not without significant risk of incarceration.
They’re looking to cripple or cut the supply chain.
They’re looking to curb the ownership rate.
They’re looking to eliminate ownership by attrition.

With what’s going on in this world, and an inept administration in D.C., grabbing guns would not be a good idea. The bulk of Americans are not in the mood for that.

It must be a 500 year plan then.

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right
to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out
for them in the last two decades...

And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)

And it continues...

And there is more...

And more...

And yet more...

And more and more and...

We just keep buyin' more...

KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, 0BAMA! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

Thanks to the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968 it is too late for zero compliance.

Now we are like the frog in the pot and the water is nearing a boil.

“If you like your unregistered guns, you can keep your unregistered guns.”

*****************************************************************

Here in blue Illinois, they don’t register guns, they register people, via the F.O.I.D. (Firearm Owners ID. card).

That way the state assumes that anyone with a card, owns gun(s).

Isn’t that illegal?

So...there are more background checks and wait times for guns than there are for “refugees” coming in from the Middle East????????????

And we wonder why these people think we’re weak and have no respect for us????????

I thought buying hundreds of millions of guns and billions of rounds of ammo over the past 15 years was the message!

The Regime should lay off its own citizens and maybe focus its energy on recovering military weapons just stollen from an armory near Worchester MA. ISIS gearing up for a hit?
