This Sheriff has my support

[M.D. Rawlings]

No one's gonna take up arms and revolt if gun rights are curtailed. At the end of the day they'll just get drunk, bitch and moan, then fall asleep.

Been far more draconian measures adopted in the past that they threatened the same stuff they are now and nothing came of it. Sheriffs are elected politicians, he's just stirring the pot to get more votes.

You don't have your finger on the pulse of the serious gun owners in this country. They are not going to tolerate anymore encroachments, including, if not especially, those on the ownership of semiautomatic rifles. A growing movement is afoot in this country with more and more citizens opencarrying such weapons to educate the public and challenge law enforcement officials. The denizens of blue states might rollover, and have, but not the citizens of most western and southern states who have had enough of the left's threats. But we're not talking about open armed rebellion at this point, but defiance and the refusal to surrender arms.

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

As HBO's series "The Newsroom" rightly pointed out, every time someone claims the government's gonna ban your guns, gun sales spike, and campaign donations to anti gun control politicians go through the roof.

Don't believe the hype.

I don't believe hype. That's why I give the back of my hand to the insinuations of naiveté on the part of gun owners in reaction to the very real threats incessantly posed by the statists who actively campaign to propagandize Americans out of the historical and political understanding for the Second Amendment, as they seek to limit magazine size and the types of guns to be owned.

Second Amendment protector:

Sheriff Warns of Second American Revolution if Guns Are Banned (VIDEO)

How about one of you Lefties answer my question?
What part of, "Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??

The part about well regulated militias

"A well regulated militia, [comma] being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The people are the militia, and it's an individual right.

So what about it?

The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right of individuals[1][2] to keep and bear arms.[3][4][5][6] The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the right vests in individuals, not merely collective militias, while also ruling that the right is not unlimited and does not prohibit all regulation of either firearms or similar devices.[7] State and local governments are limited to the same extent as the federal government from infringing this right per the incorporation of the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the first ten amendments comprising the Bill of Rights.

The Second Amendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common-law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. Sir William Blackstone described this right as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.[8]

In United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that, "The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence" and limited the applicability of the Second Amendment to the federal government.[9] In United States v. Miller (1939), the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government and the states could limit any weapon types not having a “reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia”.[10][11]

In the twenty-first century, the amendment has been subjected to renewed academic inquiry and judicial interest.[11] In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision, expressly holding the amendment to protect an individual right to possess and carry firearms.[12][13] In McDonald v. Chicago (2010), the Court clarified its earlier decisions that limited the amendment's impact to a restriction on the federal government, expressly holding that the Fourteenth Amendment applies the Second Amendment to state and local governments to the same extent that the Second Amendment applies to the federal government.[14] Despite these decisions, the debate between the gun control and gun rights movements and related organizations continues.[15]

Guns are not even remotely close to being banned.

So you admit that one day they will but we are "not even remotely close" to that now.
Thanks for that admission that at some time in the future anti gun supporters will ban guns.
They will try to but will fail.
Starting now we will give them no ground.

Nonsense.

Guns will never be ‘banned.’

And there is no ‘they’ trying to ‘ban’ guns.

If an appropriate, common-sense measure such as Manchin-Toomey can’t make it to the president’s desk, a measure ‘banning’ guns certainly can’t – not in the near future, not ever.

Oh no, no one's out to ban guns. . . . Democrats led by Obama and Diane "If-I-could-I'd-have-them-all-banned" Feinstein didn't just recently try to make a grab. Bloomberg et. al. isn't out to make a grab. The very talk of it, proposed bills, aggressive gun-control campaigns backed by billions are just imaginary threats. Lefty doesn't mean it and wouldn't do if he had the votes. Oh no, not now, not ever.

Right.

Oh no, it could never happen in Great Britain and in Australia either.

Keep your hands off our magazines and our semiautomatic rifles, obtuse one.

 

[Gadawg73]

The Afgans have done a rather supberb job, and they dont' even have 300,000,000 modern firearms, modern communications technology --- oh, and I didn't mention that there "ammunition" is less-than-home-made quality shit?

Stop being a dumbass.

An American revolt would be unstoppable. Even if the Government "won every battle," they'd still lose the war, since petroleum and other vital supplies would be immediately pirated/hijacked/destroyed and the US dollar and Wall Street would crash with it. This of course, is assuming that the US military would even fire on its own citizens for more than 7-14 days (in reality, defection and desertion and insider espionage would decimate the military after that 7-14 [max 30] day scenario).

Stop being a dumbass.

An armed revolt would be demolished in a few days. They have no command structure or mobility. Air power?
How many battleships do the militias have?
How many fighter squadrons?
How many Blackhawk helicopters?
How many special ops teams?
How many tank battalions?

COME ON MAN!

You're assuming the military will disobey their oath in defending the Constitution. They won't.

Where in the Constitution is it that we should go into Viet Nam when NO WAR was declared by the Congress?
Speaking of the Constitution.
I can name dozens of US military attacks that were not supported by the Constitution.
And this one would be so easy it would be a slaughter.
But it ain't happening. No command structure to support it.
A few Boy Scout troops and Mississippi National Guard would wipe them all out in a few days.

 

[RandallFlagg]

Look here fool. If the Army is gone and the National Guard is gone - what the HELL do YOU expect to do against tanks and artillery pieces that can kill you from a mile away? Grow up you clown.

Stop being a dumbass.

Again, you're out of your mind. Tell me there mister GI Joe, How much ammo can a man carry? How much food? Where the hell does this "army" get it's logistics from? What about hygiene? Medical supplies? Fresh water? You ever humped a full battle load out to the field and lived for a month? I didn't think so. I HAVE - in the jungles of Southeast Asia and it was no picnic - I was 20 years old.

No one is talking about an "American Revolt" here you dolt. I'm talking about an armed citizenry being all that is left. You know 60 year old men and 11 year old children. Not to mention 60 year old women. And then, look around you. Liberals are pussies. They will be in charge of planting trees so that the enemy can march into town in the shade.

You ever fought in a war? I didn't think so. I have. Any idea what a "battle load" is? Didn't think so. Any idea where your logistics are going to come from to support this "revolt" that you are referring to? Didn't think so. Any idea how to treat Typhus or Cholera when your "Army" drinks bad water? Didn't think so. Any idea where ANY of the resupply of your TOE is going to come from? Didn't think so. Any idea where your cold weather gear will come from when the seasons change? Didn't think so. Any idea where your medics will be resupplied from? Didn't think so. Any idea of how to set up a communications network that won't be compromised by the enemy? I didn't think so. Know how to effectively shackle your radio traffic (if you are even luck enough to HAVE radios) to keep prying ears at bay? I didn't think so.Any idea how to effectively combat chemical or nerve agents that the enemy will most likely use against you? Didn't think so. Any idea how to read and interpret a topographical map in order to place your "troops" (again, 60+ year old men and children) for effective guerrilla operations or how to set up a proper ambush? Didn't think so. What about night vision? Thermal imaging? This enemy is well equipped. YOU are not.

Any idea where the HELL you are going to fall back to when the Arty has your positions marked from 8 miles away? Didn't think so. Any idea as to how to instruct these same old men and women in the proper methods of escape and evasion AND what to do if they are captured? Didn't think so. Any idea what to do when a 57 Ton Tank rolls up on you? I didn't think so. Any idea what to do when the enemy stays (conveniently) out of range of your AR's and your shotguns - not to mention pistols - until THEY decide to attack? Didn't think so.

What do you tell your old men and women (who are patriots) when they are starving from lack of food, or are suffering from disease (from lack of treatment), they are out of ammunition, food and clean drinking water and the enemy is following you with satellite imagery and firing at you using GPS and using a well equipped, and determined military?

Your example of the Afghani's is ridiculous and you know it. Those people have been at war for the last 500 or so years. Generations of Afghani children are raised to fight. Civilians in the United States haven't fought in a war since your great-great Grandfather. However, I'm certain that given a few years of training those 60+ year old men and women can learn how to field strip their grandfather's old 12 gauge. I was 11B in Vietnam. I could field strip a 1911 and a M14 - and then a M16 in under two minutes. That was 40 years ago. I am an old man. Too damned old to fight your ridiculous "revolt".

If you are ever lucky enough to fight an enemy on a level field, you "might" stand a chance. The days of "musket against musket" ended 100 years ago sparky. Citizens just don't have the equivalent firepower any longer. The deck is stacked against you from the outset.

Remember, YOU are the last line of defense for this country. The US Military has been decimated - the National Guard has been wiped out. All that's left is YOU and a bunch of children and senior citizens. So, General Patton - what do you tell THEM?

This ain't an Airsoft or a paint ball game buster. Now, YOU stop being a dumbass, dumbass.

No, I agree with gun rights.
And I believe they will never be "banned".
But those that deny there are MANY now that WANT TO BAN guns are naive and gullible.
They actively want to ban them now.
Because they believe GUNS, not PEOPLE are the problem.
They are the same folks that believe corporations, INSTEAD OF PEOPLE, pay taxes.

Get serious. Are YOU going to hole up in a mountain area with no heat or air or food or water for years at a time fighting a government that forces you to buy health insurance and taxes you too much?
No.
So who is it that will?
It would be easier than what we are doing now in Afghanistan.
How many unpopular wars OVER SEAS have we sent troops to fight awar?
Which is worse? Getting put out as cannon fodder over seas or paying high taxes and buying health insurance?
Nonsense to believe there is going to be any armed resistance here. Things have been much worse with the Depression.
The folks that you claim will be arming and heading to the hills will be jumping out of buildings like they did the last time this country truly went south.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Don't be an idiot.

Armed insurrection has been used repeatedly and successfully in this nation.

Watts Riots, Rodney King Riots, Rosewood, democratic convention riots...

No.
So who is it that will?
It would be easier than what we are doing now in Afghanistan.

That is an incredibly strange claim.

Fighting a better armed force with far better communication would be easier?

How many unpopular wars OVER SEAS have we sent troops to fight awar?
Which is worse? Getting put out as cannon fodder over seas or paying high taxes and buying health insurance?

You're deluding yourself if you think the armed forces will move against the American people. I know the KOS kiddies dream of SS Troops machine gunning white people in the streets, but it will never happen, So you better come to grips with the fact that only the BATF, IRS, and FBI will be taking on 200 million armed civilians.

Nonsense to believe there is going to be any armed resistance here. Things have been much worse with the Depression.
The folks that you claim will be arming and heading to the hills will be jumping out of buildings like they did the last time this country truly went south.

Yeah, no one ever rises up in America...

[Gadawg73]

Get serious. Are YOU going to hole up in a mountain area with no heat or air or food or water for years at a time fighting a government that forces you to buy health insurance and taxes you too much?

Don't be an idiot.

Armed insurrection has been used repeatedly and successfully in this nation.

Watts Riots, Rodney King Riots, Rosewood, democratic convention riots...

No.
So who is it that will?
It would be easier than what we are doing now in Afghanistan.

That is an incredibly strange claim.

Fighting a better armed force with far better communication would be easier?

How many unpopular wars OVER SEAS have we sent troops to fight awar?
Which is worse? Getting put out as cannon fodder over seas or paying high taxes and buying health insurance?

You're deluding yourself if you think the armed forces will move against the American people. I know the KOS kiddies dream of SS Troops machine gunning white people in the streets, but it will never happen, So you better come to grips with the fact that only the BATF, IRS, and FBI will be taking on 200 million armed civilians.

Nonsense to believe there is going to be any armed resistance here. Things have been much worse with the Depression.
The folks that you claim will be arming and heading to the hills will be jumping out of buildings like they did the last time this country truly went south.

Yeah, no one ever rises up in America...

All armed rebellions seeking to take over the US government.
You have lost your mind.

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

No, I agree with gun rights.
And I believe they will never be "banned".
But those that deny there are MANY now that WANT TO BAN guns are naive and gullible.
They actively want to ban them now.
Because they believe GUNS, not PEOPLE are the problem.
They are the same folks that believe corporations, INSTEAD OF PEOPLE, pay taxes.

What 2nd's talking about is the idea that the government wouldn't have it's hands full against an armed citizenry in this country. Oh, yes it would!

Get serious. Are YOU going to hole up in a mountain area with no heat or air or food or water for years at a time fighting a government that forces you to buy health insurance and taxes you too much?
No.
So who is it that will?
It would be easier than what we are doing now in Afghanistan.
How many unpopular wars OVER SEAS have we sent troops to fight awar?
Which is worse? Getting put out as cannon fodder over seas or paying high taxes and buying health insurance?
Nonsense to believe there is going to be any armed resistance here. Things have been much worse with the Depression.
The folks that you claim will be arming and heading to the hills will be jumping out of buildings like they did the last time this country truly went south.

It's self-evident.

 

[Uncensored2008]

All armed rebellions seeking to take over the US government.
You have lost your mind.

Moving the goal posts won't help you. Insurrections rarely have the goal of full blown rebellion.

Anyone who things that the Watts Riots failed to achieve their goal is a complete and utter fool.

The uncomfortable fact is that armed insurrection usually works in this nation. Sometimes, as in the case of the Watts Riots, it may be the ONLY way to achieve aims.

 

[editec]

YOU Armchair revolutonaries of the right are as laughable as our armchair warriors of the LEFT were back in the 60s and 70s.

Keep your guns boys, but stop telling yourselves that your guns are keeping you free.

 

[Uncensored2008]

YOU Armchair revolutonaries of the right are as laughable as our armchair warriors of the LEFT were back in the 60s and 70s.

Keep your guns boys, but stop telling yourselves that your guns are keeping you free.

So what you're saying is that government is god, and we must never question, only Obey?
