“There’s a critical difference in those two scenarios .... they do NOT want to find the illegals .... they WILL want to confiscate guns/ammo.”


There’s an ancient Chinese saying that advises one to “be careful what you wish for, you may get it.” I’d say that this applies to the fantasy of attempting to disarm the American people like Australia did with its folks a few years ago. It might work as a purely academic exercise, with assinine assumptions that don’t get tested in the real world, but when you actually put those assumptions to the test...they might not work out so well.

FYI, there are about 400 million guns, not 110 million. http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2015/09/us-will-reach-400-million-private.html That latter figure might be approximately the number of gun OWNERS.

Oh, BTW, Clinton and her crew have obviously not gamed what happens to the US economy if you suddenly remove a few million highly productive, non-welfare-taking, people from the workforce (by killing or imprisoning them). Here’s a hint - the economy tanks, immmediately. Removing just 5% of them, some 5.5 million taxpayers, would have devastating consequences. Plus you’d have the families of those people who would have blood in their eyes, and do everything in their power to gum up the works, economically and otherwise. Plus, this doesn’t consider what even 1% of those gun owners (1.1 million people) could do to the nation’s commerce - like, for example, threatening to set up ambushes for 18-wheelers on major interstates from “flyover” country into the coastal cities. There wouldn’t have to be one shot fired, not one person wounded or killed, and many hundreds of thousands of truckers would simply say, “Nope, I ain’t going, no one can make me.” Let’s see how the coastal shitties do without a lot of food, fuel, etc., etc.

It will be like Prohibition .... while the government officially prohibits, there will be a healthy underground for guns & ammo. People I know who are absolutely law-abiding & pretty compliant on everything else, have told me they will, under no circumstances, give up their guns. Plans have been made to “disappear” their arsenals temporarily, until the ‘winds’ change. Stacy Dash was on Hannity last night when this came up - she said anyone trying to take guns away from those in the ‘hood’, etc. will get shot for their trouble. It will be CWII for sure.

In AUS years after their stupid gun law there were still instances of gun violence that the law was supposed to cure.
