How to achieve a gun free America.

[Podmonkey]

A rhetorical questio for you: how many of us would acquiesce?
A follow up thought for those that might acquiesce:
The policy of Mutally Assured Destruction (MAD) was succesful in preventing global nuclear war.

Like it or not we all have skin in the game here. And in a much more literal sense than some might like to belive.

 

[Burzum]

I would settle for a Democrat Free America.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Technically it would be a legal gun free America. There would be the same amount of guns before and after in Chicago/Michigan .

 

[togmaster]

I hate paying for guns.

 

[Podmonkey]

I hate paying for guns.

That would be free gun, not gun free.
I don't have enough storage for the former.

Didn't think any of the first 10 amendments could be repealed.

The powers that be can do whatever the hell they wish if the populace allows them.

They're certainly doing a good job of trashing them.

You would have to draft an amendment to change the an amendment you cannot repeal any amendments. The 18th needed the 22nd to make it void. The state's could make another amendment to make the 22nd void and the 18th would be enacted again.

They can not be repealed but an amendment can be drafted to potentially supplement but it can not repeal the right or change the right enumerated, which our founders clearly state were granted by a higher authority. The first eight amendments are inalienable devine rights that are already granted but included in the Bill of Rights to explicitly recognize the right and (from the 9th and 10th) guarantee the goverment must protect the devine right. It does take with two- thirds of the House, and two thirds of the Senate and and three-fourths of the States for an amendment. Since passive RINOs and a disengaged electorate have come in to being, huckster legislators of the 21st Century are working relentlessly to diminish its original intent with Liberal progressive traitors finding it easier and faster to just disregard laws, misinterpret black letter text or ignore the constitution. Bottom line, the way the founders built the foundation of this republic, the nation would have to be dissolved and ended to repeal a devine right identified in the first eight amendments in the Bill of Rights.

they tried this nonsense with alcohol. Violence and deaths (both from guns and "bootlegged" alcohol) skyrocketed for the years 13 years the prohibition was in effect. After the repeal of the 18th A, crime 'returned to normal" levels.

Prohibition was an unmitigated disaster, trying to confiscate firearms will lead to a worse disaster.

I would anticipate MANY LEO will perish along with many more civilians. One scenario I would anticipate would be LE going to your neighbors home across the street to take his firearms and other neighbors attacking LE from behind. NOTHING GOOD would come from attempted confiscation. Especially in a city or suburb where homes are close together, it will be easier in the country where homes are scattered and far apart

At my age, I would rather die than go to jail ~~~ take that any way you want.

 

[Sig]

Love it!
We all know it'll never happen. There are something like 110 guns per 100 people in the USA and billions of rounds of ammo.
Doubtful that LE or the military would turn on their fellow citizens. IF they ever managed to get through steps 1-4....Govt. would have a problem attempting to execute step 5. A YUUUGE problem.

 

[Steal2B]

Before there is a step 5, the entire constitution and basis for forming this nation of states would have to be shredded. The battles after step 4 would not be to protect arms, it would be a fight to salvage the Republic, the soul of our nation, and maybe the last great hope for a free mankind.

 

[Sig]

Well-said.

They don't need to take them away, they are doing what they want slowly..IE NY/California bans on guns and magazines. Years from now ,double barrel shotguns and a limit of 2 rounds per month will be in effect. AND...most will say they don't care because they'll be dead by then...but watch...it's coming to your local area code soon

Incrementalism is the word. It's how Socialism is installed. It's how freedom is stripped.

 

[Cooolone]

Ridiculous notion! And comparing it to MAD is not quite right mentally... Is like comparing my home furnace to the Sun!... Nuke weapons and Firearms, just lol... Is the hysteria of a particular contemporary progressive political agenda!

No thanks!

 

[Marine Cpl]

They don't need to go door to door. Our descendants will get rid of them for them. So they make all guns illegal except for a few muzzleloaders and bolt guns for hunting that you'll need to get licensed for and demonstrate a need to have. Penalties for not reporting the found guns after death in a family would be harsh.

Once you die, your kids will have them. They'll have a choice to keep them or get rid of them by destroying them themselves or turning them in. If they keep them, their kids will get rid of them once they die. Their kids or kid's kids aren't going to have the passion we have. It'll dwindle with every generation until they are all gone and we are just as naive as Europe is as a people now.

 

[ProgSpear]

I'm taking my guns with me when I die. Sort of like a tragic boating accident, except without the boat.

 

[holdover]

It would never go down like that. They would demand the turn over of all 4473 s. Then they would send a letter to you, saying you have 30,60 90 days to turn over your firearms, and any any proof of sales , after that you would be fined 500 a day per violation, after 20 ,30 days a warrant for your arrest will be issued. Then you will be arrested on your way to work one morning after you rolled through a stop sign or going to fast. While you are waiting to see a judge, officers will search your home and find a nice safe place for your weapons.

They do not have the manpower for a cordon and search for any large area and they would be met by hostile civilians.

Any confiscation, or law allowing confiscation should be deemed as a breech of the constitution and considerd an act of war against the people .

I don't find it at all ridiculous.

Can we get a title amendment please? Someone? It's bugging me.

I fixed it. Though it often amuses me to replace "A" with "An".

 

[libertysnake]

I've had way too many conversations with gun grabbers. The reason why they're anti-gun isn't as crazy if you understand where their logic is short circuiting. They honestly believe that the point in history we live in is somehow different than all of human history that has come before it; namely, they deny that human history, and nature, is one of violence and brutality.

This is why my counter argument to removing guns is "has human nature changed at all?" To answer that, you can ask the question "do we still have murder, theft, and other forms of crime?" (We do.) "Are governments still killing their own people?" (They are.)

So if human nature hasn't changed, why is disarmament a valid argument in face of this? It isn't. It's suicide.

We do have model places in the US where there are gun free zones where only law enforcement is allowed to possess them, and the gun violence is almost nothing , We call it Prison . Where only the state has the right defend itself . People, like Prisoners would be stripped of their right to possess a firearm . In the name of safety, of course.

I'd rather be a free man in a more dangerous world, than a prisoner in a pristine security environment.

I wish we all lived in a perfect Utopia. I wished that we lived in a society where there was no crime.

I wish we could leave the house and never think of the dangers that exist all around us.

I wish I never had to worry about being attacked, robbed, killed it hurt.

I wish there were only good people among us.

I wish none of us would have the need for armed protection.


None of that is going to happen, so therefore, I will still carry a gun and I will fight the anti's with everything I can!

If wishes were wings you'd make Tinkerbell look like a plowhorse.

Well, gun free is not something they are trying to achieve. They only want to take them from 'We the People'.
How soon they forget................
And you thought the progressives forgot too? Really?
