Are They Coming for Our Guns?

The Answer is yes and no. Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, Pelosi, Oboma et al. would love to get rid of the 2nd Amendment. Better to tax you without your guns my dear. Can they really do it though? If the stars were crossed right (or wrong) they could potentially get enough votes and a Presidential signiture to do nationwide registration. Only problem is only weak minded gun owners would register. That would leave the rest of us deemed as criminals (domestic terrorists under Patriot Act). Confiscation would/could ensue. They would not need to go door to door to finf out who has weapons. They go to the gun shops shut them down and grab all the yellow forms. What? You say you bought all your guns as private sales and there is no yellow form in your name. Thats OK. They now go and see who has a hunting liscence and throw in anyone with a fishing liscence for good measure. Most hunters, even bowhunters have guns. How about checking your credit card receipts for weapon and ammunition and accessory purchases. Maybe they pick up a guy from your gunclub. Unless he's a completely upright guy he'll rat you out. Do you have a concealed carry permit? If you said yes then they no you have a gun. That is no reason to not get a permit. I have one. If they come for me on the street I'll at least be able to defend myself.

All that said. Confiscating weapons in the US is a dicey proposition for any tyrannical minded government stooge. It would mean open civil war. Any police officer would increase his chances of being shot exponentially. I don't expect they would show up for work. How many National Guardsmen would show up to confiscate grandpas shotgun? There is not enough Federal Gestapo to get the job done. Especially when you throw in their losses on day one of confiscation. My only concern is all the people who rolled over during the Katrina gun confiscation. Katrina was a test tube to see how far they could go. After Katrina the local government did away with the 2nd Amendment and no one did anything about it. That is not a good sign. I like to think that if a cop stuck his nose in my door to grab my guns he would be greeted by a 12ga. Of course I would never be caught in a disaster area under the thumb of big brother, but I wasn't there.

Do they want our guns? Hell yes they do. Can they get them? Not without a major domestic insurgency. We should all still be aware and fight for our rights.
