This is why I have great confidence that this attempt by the commies to grab all the guns will fail. It will fail for one of two reasons:
- Politicians will take a look at purchasing patterns for the past month, realize that they better seriously look at purchasing patterns for the past 2 years, and they will realize that ALL of these guns were bought with the belief that they would not be surrendered, and that they might be used for violent blowback, and that their own lives might be in jeopardy if they actually pass this thing.........and they will stand down.
- Politicians will take a look at all this, decide that they can still get the police and military to enforce their evil scheme, proceded with trying to implement a ban, and The People will show that they have had enough.
Liberal commies are the first to forget history because it isn't convenient to their ideology. They do so at their own risk, because the one thing they forget about the
first American Revolutionary War is that not all of the colonists supported it. The ones that were loyal to the crown lost, and a great many of
them were badly treated when the war was over. Some had the bad treatment coming because they were
actively engaged in opposition. Many of them fled to Canada when the war ended. Other's were dealt with less severely, primarily by social shunning because they might have been loyal subjects of the crown, but they were traitors to their own independence. That latter group were the ones Samuel Adams addressed when he said:
“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”
I am willing to bet that 3-5 years before the war started, the average colonist, loyalist or not, would not have predicted that things would take the turn they did. Those colonists who ended up leading the revolution spent a great deal of effort and treasury to beseech the king to reconsider his folly. They were not bloodthirsty pirates. They were men of sober thinking who had finally had enough.
I do not want to see political violence tear my country apart. But like any man who loves liberty more than life, there is a limit to how far my government can push me. There is a point where the government becomes destructive of the ends of affirming life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and it becomes the duty of men to abolish it and replace it with one that supports those ends. Liberal commies are either deliberately obtuse about this, or they are simply ignorant. They are, after all, the product of their own marxist infused educational system. But either way, they are so blind with lust for power that they fail to take into account human nature. If things come to that kind of impasse again and violence is the result, we're going to have to figure out how to live amongst one another again when it is over, and it will not go well for those Americans who were loyal to the "crown." And by the way, is it more than coincidence that Obama's presidency and the worshipful adulation poured on him by his socialist lemmings is more like a kingship than any other before it?
Three hundred million guns in one hundred million households is nothing to scoff at. According to the U.S. Census, from 2007-2011 there were 114,761,359 households in the U.S. (
source). In other words, households with guns VAAAAASTLY outnumber households without guns. If even half of those armed households voluntarily gave up their guns, that would still leave about 40% of all U.S. households with over 100 million guns. One would have to be suicidal to think that he could just take them away with a stroke of a pen. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but doesn't apply any longer when the public no longer has confidence in the pen.
With those kinds of numbers, enforcing a gun registration/confiscation scheme on an unwilling populace is simply impossible without it devolving into policial violence. It WAS possible in countries with overtly dictatorial governments, but it is not possible in
our government. This is in part because the government promotes itself as a democracy, and democracies don't turn on their own citizenries. Well.....they certainly
can and do (the proposed AWB is a perfect example of that), but it isn't consistent with the image they try to maintain. Joe Stalin simply didn't
care how people perceived him. In fact, the more afraid of him they were, the better he liked it. But while Obama might personally have Stalin's ambitions, he is constrained by a lot of different factors from behaving like Stalin.
In the meantime, Americans have been snapping up semi-automatic magazine fed firearms in record numbers. Not revolvers. Not bolt action hunting rifles. Not over and under skeet guns. They have been buying specifically the guns which the government proposes to ban. You have to ask yourself why. I mean, if the government were proposing to ban bicycles, I don't think you would see people running out to assert their right to own one. They could buy a Segway or a motorized skateboard instead. But bicycle ownership is not specifically guaranteed in the Constitution. Gun ownership IS specifically guaranteed in the Constitution. So this mass buying spree can only mean one thing, that citizens are asserting their Constitutional right while they still can. It is crazy to think that they're doing it just so that they can turn all these very expensive purchases in for destruction a few weeks later. That makes no kind of sense now, does it?
So what do democrats think that gun buyers are proposing to do with these guns, if they're not going to turn them in? Increasingly, we hear prominent liberals saying that they think we should abolish the entire Constitution. We hear other liberal politicians (New Hampshire) saying that they are going to deliberately crack down on the rights of conservatives.......and so for the first time in the country you have an elected official advocating a soviet style system where party members have more rights than non party members. We hear and see the fever swamp of the twitterverse the calls for assassinating the republican candidate, for the mass murder or imprisonment of all NRA members. Is the administration doing the responsible thing and addressing these threats to the public peace by suggesting that people remember we're a nation of laws, and that they need to calm down? No. Instead, the administration is trying to ramrod a gun snatch on the quick. What concerns me is that millions of people who spent many multiples of millions of dollars on guns and ammo in the past month did so because they think they might need to
use them, exercising their option of the bullet box, since the soap box and the ballot box have failed in the preservation of the Constitution.
Democrat commie politicians SHOULD be terrified of the scenario THEY are creating, because it could get REALLY ugly. THEY are the ones who pushed things this far. The acceleration in the rate of purchase of firearms is directly in response to THEIR provocations. If they had just let sleeping dogs lie, America's gun owners would not have stepped up the rate at which they bought guns. THEY are responsible for this crisis........AND THEY DON'T CARE, because they think they will be able to bend the police and the military to their will. But like I said earlier, they are blinded by their lust for power—the exact
same ambitious lust exhibited by all previous communist dictators. It is no accident that ALL dictatorial regimes originate from some version of the socialist/communist political spectrum,
INCLUDING naziism, which was a socialist movement too.
If things get violent, it will be the democrats' fault, not the fault of people who are exercising their God-given and constitutionally enumerated rights. I would like to see Diane Feinstein die in prison.
They had rearranged the shelves so that they look full, but had a lot of birdshot and hunting loads.
