    Banks "robo" signed millions of mortgages... I don't think something as 'trivial' as a signature would stand in their way, likewise


    The government spent tens of millions of dollars and murdered over 70 people in Waco Texas over an alleged failure to pay $400 in taxes. Money is no object.

    Waco Texas standoff happened because the Feds could roll all their toys and efforts to a single location. Hot coffee, heat and air, hot food. The snowball started down the hill and gained momentum and ended like we all knew it would.

    Maybe I misunderstood your response, but just to clarify none of us suggested that we would put up armed resistance. If you are suggesting that some others will well I'm sure that you are right.

    No one in their right mind could think that a siege from government forces would end in their favor. But I'm sure that there are plenty of David Koresh types out there. Who feel that they have nothing to loose.

    My point is that I've not read any puffy chested bravado here.

    No argument, I just wanted to clarify.


    A lot of us DO have our lines in the sand. We just aren't going to post them on the internet, what with NDAA and all those other "tools" our government has granted itself.

    Not even Feinstein is that stupid, saying her AWB will be proactive with a grandfather clause (I wish folks would spend 30 seconds on Google to verify that, instead of relying on 'what they heard').

    Watch the vidio in this link. From her own lips, she wants to make military style assault weapons to be treated as machine guns. NFA firearms, even those that are currently owned.

    Feinstein's 'assault weapon' ban would be tantamount to confiscation - St. Louis gun rights | Examiner.com

    This is serious stuff, I think you agree.

    Why would local police be used to enforce a federal law? I can't arrest someone for federal law violations, can't enforce immigration policy, etc. I can only refer it to the appropriate federal agency.

    Sounds like a lot of people borrowing trouble. NYC is unlikely to pass any gun confiscation legislation that will stand recent SCOTUS decisions, a federal confiscation order's has about the same probability of us getting involved in an intergalactic war in my lifetime, and even if it were to happen local police won't be the ones enforcing it.

    A general confiscation order might well be disobeyed by many LEOs in the gun-friendlier parts of the country.

    But what about an order that is targeted at one kind of gun and one individual? Imagine this future scenario:

    "Since semi-automatic rifles are now illegal to possess, we've been asking John Smith at 201 Elm St. to either turn in his rifle or tell us where it went. He has done neither. Now we have a warrant to enter his house and search for it. Your orders are to serve this warrant. You will confiscate any weapons that are illegal under Federal or state law, but you may ignore any shotguns or revolvers you find today because those are legal."

    How many LEOs would refuse THAT order? Or the next order ("Serve this warrant and confiscate the .357 revolver and pump-action shotgun that Jane Jones is known to have purchased, but ignore double barrel shotguns and .22lr revolvers, because they are legal.") or the one after that?

    Casting no aspersions on INGO members in law enforcement, I think far fewer LEOs would refuse targeted, narrow orders like the ones above. And it wouldn't take too many publicized raids to get 90-95% of law-abiding gun owners to fall in line and decide it just isn't worth it anymore.

    You forgot to add that he has child porn on his computer. The great catchall that gets any guns in the home put into continuity because of his "sexual perversion".

    The newspaper headline says, "he had guns, ammo, food, and fuel stockpiled." These were confiscated along with his personal computer.

    I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    " Good Luck "

    Just being "useful" .....

    ..... as in "Useful Idiots" -- Communism's definition of the press -- Westchester NY newspaper publishes all county gun-owner's names and addresses (could this be aiding and abetting evil-doers? ) BUT, WAIT ..... THESE are homes where burglars would shy away from, no?? LEO already has these records -- although these records are not SUPPOSED to be used in confiscation attempts! WTF, here is a chance to check out my Mosin against modern chest-plates!!
    And it is just people guessing. There was no confiscation in the first ban, why would there be in this one?

    Relax felllas.....NYC stopped being a part of America a long time ago. Pretty soon, they will legislate how many breaths you are allowed to take per minute. I honestly can't believe that there hasn't been a mass exodus out of NYC during the reign of Bloomberg. It's just mind boggling that there are so many sheep that want to be told how to live, rather than truly living!! To each his own....I guess.
