What Do We Do If They Try To Confiscate Our Guns?

[Tea For One]

What is the general consensus as to how us decent, law-abiding citizens should react if they try to disarm us? What do you think?

 

[toreskha]

Realistically, a lot of people would probably give in - more than you'd think. They would probably place the burden on owners to turn them in first, because LEOs would have an extremely hard time going out and doing the job themselves.

In an actual gun-grab scenario, the best thing for most of us to do would not be to get militant, but simply stand our ground and avoid making any snap decisions. Exhaust all possible legal avenues so as to make clear that we're playing by the rules, even if the ones in charge are not.

What guns? I don't have any guns. I used to but I sold all mine.

I don't either. I used all mine to build a shrine to the Messiah, BHO. and to help pay for the welfare state he wants.
I know big brother is watching. I'll be a good sheep, i mean citizen. There are lots of places to go, and I'll find one. but no one is taking my ability to defend myself away

regardless of what we do, the key to make it stand to the Gov't would be unity.

regardless of what we do, the key to make it stand to the Gov't would be unity.

What needs to be done is an organized march in each major city in the country for all the pro gun to show unity. Id drive the 200 miles to Seatle and Portland to march as would many I know. 50,000 people marching in each major city on the same day would make a real statement

 

[Rick O'Shay]

If push came to shove, I would buy some PVC, cement, a lot of desicant, and dig a hole.

 

[Pele]

The shoddy aluminum wiring in my house has been deemed a fire hazard when it was inspected upon purchase... And I never bought a fire resistant gun safe...

My loss. I don't think I'll claim them on my insurance. I'll be happy just to get the value that I paid for the place in 2006.

resist we must show them we hold the spirit of Resistance

 

[Rick O'Shay]

resist we must show them we hold the spirit of Resistance

Nope. Won't do it. Too many of my friends are LEO's, and they would be doing a job they don't want to do. Better I have my guns well hidden, and show them a dry hole. That way they are available for when they are truly needed.

 

[gun runner]

I turned in all my guns on the last turn in don't ask. So when they come to get my guns I gave at the office.

 

[wolfhunter]

I sold all mine to Bill Ayers, go get them from him.

 

[Austin]

It would be a mess. A very unfortunate mess. I will not be a victim.

 

[Tex4oc]

I will kill or die before giving up my freedoms, I have friends in law enforcement too. and we'd see how good a friend they are when they show up to my door step. "they are right over there, all YOU have to do is GET to them"

 

[Piece Corps]

Remember the "Million Mom March?" If any real talk of confiscation pops up, it's time all of us show up in D.C., too! There are supposedly - what? - 4,000,000 members of the NRA. That's a good start. Tell me when we meet, and I'll be there.

Some have also said that resistance would be futile (the Borg?)...how could armed citizens fight the military? I think that if a confiscation comes around, a lot of our military would switch sides in a hurry. Especially the NG, who are everyday citizens like the rest of us most of the time. I personally know of 2 active duty guys who said they would not act against thier own countrymen, and they aren't "grunts," either.

Who said, "I might be killed by my own gun, but I'd be beat to death with it because it was empty?"

I appreciate the input you all offered. Let us hope that any future legislation, such as H.R. 45 and Biden's upcoming AWB will not apply to firearms currently owned.

I think you folks would appreciate the following quotes from Thomas Jefferson.




When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson




The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson







It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson





I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense
of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson





My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results
from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson





No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson





The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson





The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson





To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which
he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson





Very Interesting Quote

In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas
Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control
the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all
property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.'

All of his words were very prophetic. The one about private banks came true when we passed the Federal Reserve Act. That might have been the beginning of the end for our Republic.

Guns taken away

If they take my guns away I am going to move to the land down under.

At least there I can legally shoot at dingo babies

Whatcha think?:nono:

The number of law abiding gun owners is increasing every day

The number of law abiding gun owners is showing an huge increase across the board. If they try any funny business...there will be hell to pay and they know it. Some of the kool-aid drinkers that helped rock the vote have seen the light as well. Politically speaking inacting any ban will be political suicide. Verbosely attacking all gun rights at once will result in numerous acts of civil disobedience. Remember the revolutionary war was over a 3% increase in taxes and a draconian British gun control act. They surely do not want to trespass on that chunk of dirt again. There are far too many rednecks that already know how to live off the land, hunt, fish, make moonshine and feud like there is no tomorrow. If they think insurgents in Iraq are bad wait untill they cross paths with a pissed off redneck. what they are capable of, DELIVERENCE, does not even begin to cover!

Dude could you be more racsist?

You need to worry more about the gun's being taken away than the color of people's skin.

I hear they are getting ready to raise the price of ammo and serialize the bullets, anyone else hear this?

Is that the "kool-aid" drinkers fault too?
