New gun bill may trigger next US revolution?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of gun control laws. I think our revolution will come from taxing the majority of us "middle classers" to the point of no longer being able to provide for our families.

 

For those saying that revolution will "never" happen, just keep some things in mind. We've had quite a few things that would "never" happen happen over the last several years.

Sorry, but I wouldn't rule anything out at this point. The country is getting strange and stressed in a major kind of way and I can't place any bets on where it will end.

I would say the government is betting on apathy as well. I'm not sure how safe of a bet that is.

 

I don't think this round of "Gun Control" will result in weapons seizure but I do think its coming. They WILL pass another assault weapons ban which will not fix anything and there WILL be more mass murders which will continue to result in more regulation and eventually forced buybacks (ala Australia) and/or absolute seizure. With 80,000,000+ gun owners in America even 1/10 of 1% resistance results in A LOT of gun violence.

 

I'm already revolting.

 

You have been for awhile.

 

I'll comply with the constitution and my right to defend myself against a tyrannical government.

 

After I give them all my ammo first.

 

Not really.

Unless someone's real world is in prison.

You've got choices. Most of them don't involve any need for government at all.

Given that this is a motorcycle racing forum, don't we all recognize that private roads can be built and used based upon individual contract, rental, and such? Especially you, as you deal with how you deal with how you price out your overall rental to customers along with insurance issues, marketing, and such.

 

I think they are betting on "ignition".

History seems to provide lots of ways in which governments have generated tinderboxes and claims...and then established provocative manners to deal with issues and people.

If one looks over the past ten years or so...

An ideology of establishing a petty war with a rules structure that isn't based upon any victory...

Various claims that the heroes of that war are potential terrorists...

The establishment of "zones" where the helpless are required to be unarmed...

The claim of evil in objects rather than in perpetrators...

The rejection of Dong's lawmakers to engage in any rational discourse with individual citizens about how it impacts...individual citizens.

Reward groups, punish individuals for actions they have not done, establish no victory...at your expense.

Seriously, all this talk about a fiscal cliff is ridiculous in the face of facts that the US government just isn't about life, liberty, and being free from the violence of society anymore. It is the violence of society and the system of reward for being part of the state.

 

We'll out-source it to India.

Press 1 to Order a non-violent demonstration

Press 2 to add stone tossing and tire burning

Press 3 ......etc...etc.....

 

Yes you are.

 

Its already outsourced!!! :tut:

 

This is why I love to come here.

Way more fun than pulling out my worn copy of "Dr. Strangelove" for the daily dose of paranoia.


Somehow I picture Metalhead riding the atom bomb down yelling "Yippee Ki-Aye!"

 

Funny how much the worst case is coming true with paranoid getting closer to prepared. Even Pravda is warning against gun confiscation based on real world history which ended with millions dead and others in squalor.

Not saying a direct correlation, but for example:

Many said a black man would never be elected President.

Many said he wouldn't be reelected.

Many said the Healthcare Bill would never be passed.

History shows things that are said will "never" happen, happen.

Seriously, how many examples do you want? We can go through history and do this all day long.

 

Any treaty requires 2/3 of the Senate for ratification.

 

I can honestly say that I have never been so pissed off at the government as I am now over this 2nd Amendment bullshit. Saw on the CNN ticker tape at the bottom of the screen yesterday, "assault rifles selling out across U.S." Not really news to me at all but I'm hoping those numbers are real obvious to everybody in Washington and they get the message that the general public just armed the fuck out of itself.

I could easily see this sending us back into/ further into economic turmoil. Just think of how many people would be put out of work and how many businesses and websites would shut down if they banned AR-15s alone. Thats just retail parts and accessories. Think about aluminum and steel suppliers, machine parts suppliers and companies that do coatings.

This whole thing is gonna be a huge mess if someone doesnt exercise some common sense and tell Feinstein and her nut danglers to sit down and shut the fuck up.
