Right Wing nitwits and their popguns.

First, no one is coming for your silly guns if for no other reason they are no threat. But if they did, there would be absolutely nothing you could do about it. The military would have ZERO problem with "your cold ded hands".

Yeah, keep believing that your guns mean something.

No one really cares if you have them. Most people (even 65% of the NRA) just want some reasonable regulation is all.

What part of "shall not be infringed" do some of you not understand?

Also the government doesn't give you rights, and in the case of gun ownership they cannot take away your inalienable right to protect yourself and your family from your government should your government turn against you.

It boils down to this:
Do you want to be a citizen, or do you want to be a subject?

There is a fine line between liberty and safety friends. Think about it. Which do you want?

Bury a gun and ammo in the backyard if you can.
Seems to me that if they're rolling down the street I doubt they are going to get out and dig around in your property for weaponry.
I'd also bury a bunch more stuff, food, water, etc.
Make a 'cellar' of sorts that is inconspicuous.

ATS is always good for a laugh and these gun crazy topics with the "Guvmunt wanna take muh guhns!" comments are the funniest.
Hilarious stuff fellers. I love reading some of your more "excitable" members comments about how the military are going to come trundling into town after town and engage in a shoot out with the man-of-the-house who upholds the "secon' amendmunt".

Obviously that's what your government does, right? They have regular shootouts with law abiding citizens just for the hell of it, happens all the time.
Who really is responsible for the killing of innocent people.
Were the government responsible for all those school murders?
Were the military killing all those people in the cinema?
Were the government or the military responsible for killing all those people over the years, just going about their everyday lives, in post offices, restaurants, places of worship, etc, etc?

Who does all the shooting? People with guns do the shooting, that's who.

This is where the discussion we had a few days ago comes in...The second amendment meant for us to be able to have the same firepower as the government/military. This is the only conclusion that can be drawn when you realize that the amendment was put in place to ensure that the government didn't become totalitarian and go against the will of the people. Well why have arms at all if they are ineffective towards that goal? I don't see how that argument can be countered, at least without completely trying to overturn the foundations of our country. But this appears to be what some are already trying to do. Saying we're in a different time, blah blah blah. Don't buy it, because today that amendment is even more meaningful than it was when instituted.

Here's my theory on what could happen. If a SHTF scenario does occur, it may not go down the way most expect. Yes, military will be on patrol in the streets of america, but as a police type force. They would focus on the overt trouble makers and leave the average joe alone for the most part. Curfews would be established and those breaking curfew would be questioned and detained. Door to door searches would be unrealistic.

So, what would make us lay down our freedoms and guns? Not everyone are prepers and many have families and children to care for. Crime would be allowed to spiral out of control and things such as food and water would be strictly controlled. This will not be "sprint", per se, than a "marathon". Safe zones would be established, aka, fema camps. People will be scared and starving. So, many would voluntarilly enter the "safe zones" for food, water, and safety. The choice would be simple...expose your family to riots, looting, and gangs or seek safety in the fema camps. Many people would cave in after a couple of weeks and submit themselves to the military/government.

What would be the price for keeping your familiy safe from rape, killing, and murder? Control. You may be asked to exchange firearms for safety. You would live where told, rationed food, work details, and be tracked by biometerics. So, there would be no revolution, perhapes a resistance, many would prefer protection rather than gamble on the live of thier family and children.

What would you do? Would you face savage gangs and watch loved ones die, or turn in your weapons and cede your liberties. Of course, as history as a guide, one choice may be just as bad as the other. We would be betrayed by our fear. Our only out is God, as this exsistance passes by, but the kingdom of God is forever.

Prepare yourselves.

That doesn't explain why the razorwire atop the fences around these "camps" is angled inwards, instead of outwards. They are designed to keep people in, not keep them out.

As OP said, makes you mad as hell.

This is after all one of our Bill of Rights.
To disarm the country will not be an easy task and most in the military and police force will not be happy to go along with it.

Look at all the gorilla wars we have been in, we loose more then we gain. To basicly attack US citizens....

I feel this will be a short event if it ever does come to pass.

I'll glady give up my ole broke 4-10, the rest they will have to find.......
If we loose the 2nd amendment, what will keep the Gov. from taking more. This is how Hiltler/Stalin, just to mention a few started.
With a population of no real threat, what stops them and thier like from doing what ever they choose.

He, that guy over there has a Hot little 16 year old girl... lets go pick her up.
What ya gonna do when that happens.../ Run and hide?
This list goes on and on.

Just keep some junk .22s and .410s laying around and bury all the good stuff. If and when they ever come, give the junk. I highly doubt they would outright take firearms, to convince enough military and law enforcement to disarm their own family and neighbors would be an insurmountable task. That being said,our best defense against such actions is the willingness to defend the rights we have been guaranteed. EyesWideShut said it pretty good earlier when he said " we either hang together or we hang separately."
