Sad But True

When the foreign (NATO) soldiers drive up in your yard and unload with machine guns...you will give them your guns. :-(

Re: Sad But True

Hi Bro Joiner,

Good to see you, are you still in Belize?
What you say is true & knowing a little Biblical prophecy, not far off.

They will have a hard time taking my new AR15 I just paid an arm and a leg for!

They will be to busy rounding up city slickers to bother with a few folks living life in the hills and hollows of a rural state.

Plus while the country has made a huge tilt to the left in elections the last 8 years this past time it was mostly because the left got out and voted and conservatives stayed home and whined about the Republican candidate not being conservative enough.

With that in mind if the left tries to over reach with some crazy things there will be a quick and hard tack to the right in the next couple of elections as conservatives will finally be motivated to vote for the most conservative candidate that can actually win an election rather than sitting home because their favorite ultra conservative did not get nominated.

Re: Sad But True

I will hand it over. In obedience to the law of the land. I have a gospel to preach. I will leave the resistance to the revolutionaries. I bid them godspeed, and will always pray that it never comes down to that level of corruption, knowing that it probably will, but God is in control.

Re: Sad But True

I don't own a gun ...so there will be nothing to hand over.

I do have a BB gun to shoot unwanted animals in their bohiney in the attempt to run them off that terrorize my property though.

Re: Sad But True

Look for civil war.

Look at Mexico. Very restricted gun laws, no end to the violence!

Civil war! Coming to a city near you!

Re: Sad But True

I think the biggest problem is there is a great chasm between East and West Coast urban dwellers and the "middle of the country" that is much larger in size but not population.

People who have spent their entire lives in NYC or San Fransicso, etc can't fathom why anyone would own guns. Particularly rifles. The big city life does not lend itself well to having a gun unless you live in the hood and just want to kill or rob people.

In the South where I live for most families it is a way of life to own guns, hunt, target practice, or in my case to have some for home protection and any eventuality should a natural or man made catastrophe take place.
