Interesting read, and makes some valid points. I'm sure the anti-2A people will try to debunk these conclusions, but its still food for thought.

If confiscation comes, will you comply?

 

The fat will never revolt.

 

No, but when they get hungry they sure do.

 

Interesting article, thanks for sharing.

 

Its interesting to read

my only issue with this is that the closest people in our country has come to revolting against anything in the last century and a half has been pretty much to the level of bitching and whining.

I wonder if it will be differernt for the gun crowd. are they all huff and puff or will they actually blow the house down?

 

I stand with honeybooboo!

 

Yeah...but at least you're jolly :up:

 

Your weapons will never be siezed* - that is part of the whole gun-fetishists fantasy/paranoia.



*Unless the Feds monitor the BBS.

 

if you look back...we have lost a lot. you are a lot older than I, so i can assume you remember the times when the govt had less mandates over us a lot more than I do. Even i have seen changes for the worse as to what we are "forced" to do now vs. what we could do....or sometimes "asked" to do.

take auto insurance for example. or how about mandates on business? One can argue that is a lot more important than guns. I love my guns, but i know that I need to make money to be able to afford these guns.

as i look back at the second half of the 20th century. I see the govt doing pretty much anything it can do to put mandates forth under the guise of safety.

going to apease the lowest common d is the american thing to do nowadays.

 

What a shameless thief.

 

They've taken a lot of steps to organize and/or make the removal of our rights "legal" but they really haven't taken a lot of physical actions. Yes, you have to pay insurance, your taxes pay for things you don't like, and if you fly it's likely that some schlep will fondle your junk, but other than that, it's been mostly under the radar. Nobody's been put in a camp yet. Nobody's had their guns confiscated yet. Nobody's been assassinated on US soil (I know a handful of jihadists that were US citizens have been killed but they'd already declared themselves enemy combatants). Now when they DO start to take action, I think you'll see a much stronger response than just bitching and complaining.

 

i hope neither happens.

we dont need the unrest.

 

this might scare you

If it ever gets the point of foreign troops on US soil, we're already WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY past any sort of assault weapons ban issue. A foreign military presence would trigger an immediate, and almost complete rebellion of the people and military against the government.

 

all of it?

Confiscation of civilian firearms
Controversy arose over a September 8 city-wide order by New Orleans Police Superintendent Eddie Compass to local police, U.S. Army National Guard soldiers, and Deputy U.S. Marshals to confiscate all civilian-held firearms. "No one will be able to be armed," Compass said. "Guns will be taken. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns." Seizures were carried out without warrant, and in some cases with excessive force; one instance captured on film involved 58 year old New Orleans resident Patricia Konie. Konie stayed behind, in her well provisioned home, and had an old revolver for protection. A group of police entered the house, and when she refused to surrender her revolver, she was tackled and it was removed by force. Konie's shoulder was fractured, and she was taken into police custody for failing to surrender her firearm.[79][80] Even U.S. Army National Guard soldiers, armed with M16 assault rifles, were used for house to house searches, seizing firearms and attempting to get those remaining in the city to leave.[81]
Angered citizens, backed by the National Rifle Association and other organizations, filed protests over the constitutionality of such an order and the difficulty in tracking seizures, as paperwork was rarely filed during the searches. Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the National Rifle Association, defended the right of affected citizens to retain firearms, saying that, "What we’ve seen in Louisiana - the breakdown of law and order in the aftermath of disaster - is exactly the kind of situation where the Second Amendment was intended to allow citizens to protect themselves." The searches received little news coverage, though reaction from groups such as the NRA, the Second Amendment Foundation, and Gun Owners of America was immediate and heated, and a lawsuit was filed September 22 by the NRA and SAF on behalf of two firearm owners whose firearms were seized. On September 23, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana issued a restraining order to bar further firearms confiscations.[79]
After refusing to admit that it had any seized firearms, the city revealed in mid-March that it did have a cache of some 1000 firearms seized after the hurricane; this disclosure came after the NRA filed a motion in court to hold the city in contempt for failure to comply with the U.S. District Court's earlier order to return all seized firearms. On April 14, 2006, it was announced that the city will begin to return seized firearms, however as of early 2008, many firearms were still in police possession, and the matter was still in court.[79] The matter was finally settled in favor of the NRA in October 2008. Per the agreement, the city was required to relax the strict proof of ownership requirements previously used, and was to release firearms to their owners with an affidavit claiming ownership and a background check to verify that the owner is legally able to possess a firearm.[82]
Louisiana legislator Steve Scalise introduced Louisiana House Bill 760, which would prohibit confiscation of firearms in a state of emergency, unless the seizure is pursuant to the investigation of a crime, or if the seizure is necessary to prevent immediate harm to the officer or another individual. On June 8, 2006, HB 760 was signed into law.[83] 21 other states joined Louisiana in enacting similar laws. A federal law prohibiting seizure of lawfully held firearms during an emergency, the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006, passed in the House with a vote of 322 to 99, and in the Senate by 84-16. The bill was signed into law by President Bush on October 9, 2006.[84
