I'm not so sure about that. If there is anything that will start another civil war in the U.S. it's going to be trying to take guns away from Southerners.
That will be the match TPTB are looking for to call in the NATO troops.
“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”
“The carrying of arms in a quiet, peaceable, and orderly manner, concealed on or about the person, is not a breach of the peace. Nor does such an act of itself, lead to a breach of the peace.” (Wharton’s Criminal and Civil Procedure, 12th Ed., Vol.2: Judy v. Lashley, 5 W. Va. 628, 41 S.E. 197).

It's a sad day in America when the latest gadget being on sale is worth more to people than their constitutional right to bear arms.

This is how I see it all.
They are coming to take people's guns. What people are saying concerning this is "I don't have any guns": They can't find the guns"; "All my guns got stolen": etc.
Here is my only thought:
What in the hell good are the guns if we don't use them when the government becomes so tyrannical as to say they are removing people's RIGHT to bear arms? What then is tyrannical enough?
People may as well not have any guns, this was the day we were going to use them yet not one person cares enough about their freedom to stand up against a tyrannical government... just throw away your guns then they aren't doing you any good.

Progressives favorite Amendment is the 1st. They use it constantly to inhibit others rights.
I'd like to see how they would feel if that Amendment was "infringed".

progressives use the 1st amendment to inhibit other people's rights?...huh?...which logic hat did you pull that out of? when you fight for the 4th as much as you fight for the 2nd, I'll listen.
and as far as the bill of rights, and the start of this great nation, do you know that only 6% of the entire population was eligible to vote for the first president (George Washington) of the united states? seems like there was a lot of "infringing" going on back then too.

For a just cause, sir, it is an honor to die.
I would rather my grandchildren and great grandchildren read a clip about my death than for me to sit and show them antique guns and tell them stories about the time when it was legal to own them in the United States.edit on 1-12-2013 by OpinionatedB because: (no reason given)
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

Who endorses PC?
Who endorses "free speech zones"?
Who plays the race-card?
Who redefines the past?
Who changes narritives?
Who re-writes history to suit their own political desires?
Who infiltrates schools with indoctrination?
Progressives. In both parties. I can't think of a more dangerous movement than the progressive movement in America right now.
