    Agreed. The only way the government could reasonably squash an armed uprising supported by the people is by carpet bombing neighborhoods, and I don't think those in the military would go for it. It's one thing for them to take down a few hundred people who had access to rifles, quite another to indiscrimiantly execute their own fellow citizens by the thousands. Of course, can't say I'd want a military dictatorship either, which is what would happen with a successful armed revolt by the people.
    Not to mention almost every soldier I've met in my six years owns a gun and a large percent shoot for sport or hunt.

    You have to have some skill to do that. I can shoot 30 rounds in a minute with .38 special revolver, that was my grandfathers aircrew issue from WW2 but that is because I was trained to do it over years. The average person cant do that nearly as easy with a semi auto.
    Pretty sure there were no guns involved, point being there are crazy people that will find a way to kill regardless of the tool available. To counter them, I will have better tools.

    It's funny how everyone made fun of Pro-Gun people when they would say that BHO was coming after their guns. Good call G. Beck.
    What exactly has been done so far to come and get your guns? I will continue to make fun of your paranoia until you're forced to return any of your guns. And that's a long, long time away, if ever.

    you already see a big boost in gun sales after the sandy hook tragedy and that's a good implication of people's at ude to the possible gun regulation imho. people need the guns to protect themselves and to gain themselves some sense of safety that they can't get from anything else (like the police), but the majority of them won't actually use their guns throughout their lifetimes. gun crimes just reflect some social issues lodged deeply in our society and the heads would continue to do s even w/o guns. if guns were the real source of problems the country would've been destroyed several times, as there're more than a billion guns out there either legal or illegal. say you might have a fever and you for damn sure know it's not a problem with your skin imho

    The Democrats are really going to pay in the mid-term elections if Obama signs an executive order to reinstate the assault weapons ban. Gun control has been a politcal loser in this country for years, and it will be again within 6 months.

    The argument to this notion and it bears out statistically in pretty much the rest of the first world is that the rate at which people like you get to save themselves by having guns pales in comparison to the amount of gun crimes, accidents, suicides and homicides that occur because of it. There is really very little evidence that guns in any way reduce any amount of crime and a whole lot of evidence.

    It's not hard to figure out. Sure some people will still manage to find a gun but then again many more will not.

    Meh the electorate is changing. it has changed and every year the demographics of this country change dramatically. Those that have ruled the electorate for years are riding off into the sunset.

    Possibly, but those days aren't here yet. If they were, Obama could have made gun control a part of his platform this election.

    This isn't about the electorate as a whole. This is about district by district.

    I see this as a call for the Tea Party and GOP finding common ground and a rally. Either way, this is at best for Obama, hurts him a little. Worst case scenario he'll get nothing done in his last two years and Hillary goes back to her 50% negatives before even running.

    Belief in the principle of revolution is deep in our traditions. The right of revolution is a part of the fabric of our ins utions.

    Do you realize the body that determines Cons utionality is one branch of the federal government.

    So would the USSC defend your right to overthrow the government?

    I have about 30 hi cap mags still unopened. I was saving them for this stock surge tbh.

    Good thing I have about 5K rounds of high powered .17 HMR rounds. Those will go up as well. Oh, and the 3K rounds of .22 s s doesn't hurt either, especially the green (subsonic) ones. ffffffffffft

    I may never have to use my gun, and in north county San Diego, as safe as one could live. I hope no one forces me to use my guns. Ive got them though, and what harm does that do?
    I will not be in any statistic you bring up of gun crime, accidents, suicide, or murder. I enjoy shooting, as much as I love golf, beer, weed, and pussy. Enjoy your freedoms pussies.

    How can our government expect to impose more gun controls on us, when they can't control their own employees:

    So you live alone and have no friends or objects of value. Sounds about right.

    the same reason assad hasn't done it in syria, there are international laws and russia/china would use it as a pretext to finally take us down. the world wouldn't stand by while a government mass murdered their own people, just like they stood up to hitler reluctantly. they'd lose all legitimacy if they aerial bombed our cities..and lose all their support and most of the military would defect (like syria and other countries) to fight them.
    It's always refreshing to watch you red-ass your ignorance.

    There are myriad examples of the world standing by while governments mass murdered their own people.

    Scrambled around a few days ago trying to find my buddy a complete AR lower, was ridiculous. As soon as we'd find one he enter his info and poof, gone. Finally found one but he had to overpay. I've been looking for a bolt carrier group to finish a build but I am not paying the 200+ dollars I've been seeing them go for.

    Bought my Ruger SR556 three days ago. Line out the door, flying off the shelves.

    Still have my ( ty) lower from years ago, so I could potentially have two ARs which is enough for me.
