I know, right?

People talk a good game...very few would actually walk that path.

Hell, if you own a bunch of assault weapons, you should favor a new ban. It'll double your guns value.
Rationalizing the loss of a right is your prerogative.
But once a right is lost, it is usually permanent.
Just look at all the things one needs a license to do, that once was not subject to licensing.

I am not looking to double my guns value, I am looking at my childs future to better protect themselves from criminals and tyranny.

Almost sad you envision your childs future as involving a firefight. Oh well.

I've never heard anyone suggest confiscating guns except on CD by gloom and doomers. And I could care less if certain weapons were banned or just plane NOT MADE ANYMORE. A regular gun for protection yes, some of this other stuff that's out there....not seeing the upside to your kid having it.

I am not envisioning my childs future to involve a firefight. but I would rather have her have the ability to protect herself, than to rely on calling 911 when the cops dont even have to respond to her call.

The talk of revolution is nonsense, as many here have mentioned. Americans are 90% talk and only 10% action. Besides, direct revolution is designed to fail. Be like termites, slowly eating away at the corrupt system till it collapses.

It's also really not that hard for Obama to figure out what would happen if he suspended the Constitution to go around breaking into homes and confiscating things.

But in the spirit of the discussion, I guess if it happened we could cut loose the Dixie states, that would relieve us of a tremendous burden. Too bad it didn't happen last time.
They suck the NRA crap down like a soda pop.
