If you don't think I'll willingly spend the rest of my life protecting it from domestic enemies, you're sadly mistaken.
Vietnam vets will not take kindly to a usurpation of our rights by communist leaders. We took an oath then, and that oath has never expired. I've already prepared my wife for the possibility that I may be killed for standing up for my rights.Less than 10% of Americans fought in the Revolutionary War. We still won. If you don't want to participate, that's fine. God speed. We'll meet you in heaven if you get there. A life without freedom is no life at all.punkndisorderly wrote:The majority may say they'll ignore it, but I have a feeling a "sizable minority" would be closer to the truth.
If it passes, they win.
Some, or most, will fall in line. Victory for them.
Some will bury them, which takes them out of use. Victory for them.
Some will keep them, have them stolen, not report them stolen and they'll be used in crimes so they can push for more draconian measures. Victory for them.
Some will use them for defense and wind up in jail. Victory for them.
Some will make too much noise and be made an example of. "See that crazy man shot at our heroic ATF agents" Victory for them.
The remainder live looking over their shoulder the rest of their days. Victory for them.
Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer.

If I live to go to jail, I get three square meals a day, free medical care, and i'm too old and fat to be willing to be anybody's "special friend." I'll shank the first person that tries. If I go to heaven defending my rights or my "virtue," I'm OK with that.
The government has no hold over me. My eternal future is assured, and so it is for the gun-banners. Before the Judgement Seat, it will suck to be them, because they are going straight to hades some day. Not me.
Anygunanywhere said it nicely the other day. "I'm with my brothers and sisters. I feel good." As MLK said, I've been to the mountain top, and I've seen the promised land. We may not all get there together, but we WILL get there. There WILL come a day when people like Diane Feinstein are so shunned and so shamed that they can do no more damage. I believe in this with all my heart, and I'm willing to pay whatever price that entails.
We, the people, rule this country, not the legislature, not the executive and not the judicial branches. They report to us. They are our servants.Redneck_Buddha wrote:Problem is, doesn't the judicial branch have to confer a ruling?
