Gun Grab

[Guest nraforlife]

When one looks at the characters the O is filling his cabinet and other key staff positions with how long do you think it will be before the assault on gun owners begins?

[Punisher84]

I say sometime in the next 2 years gradually. If he gets re-elected it will be full-on.

[BigPoppa]

While I didn't vote for him, and don't consider him a friend to gun owners, I think gun rights issues are gonna be way, way down on his list of priorities for the forseeable future. By which time, 2010, the more 2A friendly Republicans can make some Congressional gains in the mid term elections.

But hey, that's just my

I have to respectfully disagree with the previous posters. I think it's an issue he will get to fairly quickly. The final decision may not come for some time, but I don't think he'll wait all that long to get the ball rolling.

[Guest SUNTZU]

He has one heck of a team that has already been around the gun control game. I'd say the ball is already rolling.

I hope you're wrong, but you're probably all to right.

We have a winner!

If they were only limited to doing one thing at a time I might be inclined to agree with you. I think 2A is an important issue for them.

[Guest bheard]

It will be a easy target for the liberal congress to pass, and "O" to sign. They can't do any thing about the economy except screw it up worse, so they will try anything they think will make them look good to the sheep.

I'd bet the first thing will be "outages" in the instant-check system, starting sometime in the next 3-6 months.

[Almond27]

Nonsense I still have two evil rifles in layaway and Big O better not mess it up.

[Guest canynracer]

You own GUNS????

wow...that must feel wierd...

I should pick one up...if I wasnt so damn scared of them.

[towerclimber37]

I hope they don't..but I figure that they'll do it fairly quickly...and that's fine. if they do, then I won't lie to them and say I don't have any. I won't equivocate for anyone. I WILL however actively and enthusiastically resist the theft of my personal property.

and if I make it through that, I'll go after the ones that ordered it.

[Guest Linoge]

What follows is pure speculation, but I will be very surprised if we do not see an executive order pertaining to firearms in the first week of the new administration.

I will not be upset to be proven wrong, however.

If'n that happens, I'll be in the same boat.

You want to be cremated or buried?

Not saying I do not feel the same way but my last will and testament is pretty detailed on my wishes.

thank God there is someone here besides me who is not going to use some lame ass lie about selling them or dropping them off the boat.

I was gonna come to your house and I figured we could arm the chipmunks...

[Guest SUNTZU]

Chipmunks uber alles! Or around these parts, Chipmunks overalls, which would just confuse everybody. Better stick to some other motto.

I'm no cowboy..I don't want to die at all! I DO want to be left alone to pursue my happiness. Raise a family hopefully...simple things.

I will say that I've been shot at by professionals...and been in a few tough scrapes before. When I was young, I could whup my weight in wolverines. I still can if I have to, I guess..but I don't want to.

All my civilian life, I've been very careful to follow the line, even to my detriment. If they enact a gun ban or even a registration, I will not comply.

Politicians make their money and get their power with their mouths.

The only time I will speak is to say "no."

I've voted and emailed my representatives till I'm tired of it...both state and federal.

I'm done talking...so if they want to cut heads, lets get to it and stop the bull:poop:.

Very well said. We need to get some folks together and start planning some counter action. But it sure don't need to be broadcast here.

Tower are you familiar with Watchmen? It's a graphic novel about a group of superheroes that watch over everyone, but the public starts to hate them. Anyway, there is a good line in the graphic novel where one of the characters says "The world will look up and shout "Save us!" and I'll whisper "No."

Thought that fit you.

[towerclimber37]

Sorry Punisher, I don't read many graphic novels.

what I do mostly is work and pay bills.

MY only vice is firearms. I love to shoot. I also love to be left alone by folks.

when I get home, I like my privacy to enjoy time with my family unmolested.

When I was younger, I loved to fight...I was in the perfect place for it too. In the Mechanized Infantry and in the Cavalry there's no better place to train in small unit tactics except perhaps special forces type units.

I did so with both friends and enemies...serious set to's and some friendly ones where we just broke a few bones...nothing that couldn't be fixed.

now days I'm a LOT slower..and I guess I've become more treacherous as well..

you've got the right of it though...I would say no...
