Boston Globe columnist calls for gun confiscations

[Bigfoot]

" the proposals aren’t just difficult to enact in the current political climate; their practical effects would also be quite limited. On occasion, though, leading Democrats will make oblique reference to a more sweeping policy change: seizing a huge number of weapons from law-abiding citizens.

At a New Hampshire forum in the fall of 2015, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke approvingly of an Australian gun buyback program that collected more than 650,000 weapons — a buyback that, she neglected to mention, was compulsory.

And just a few months earlier, then-President Barack Obama offered coded support for the same confiscatory approach. “When Australia had a mass killing — I think it was in Tasmania — about 25 years ago, it was just so shocking, the entire country said, ‘Well, we’re going to completely change our gun laws,’ and they did,” he said.

Democrats have even let the word “confiscation” slip out, on occasion. After the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. in 2012, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a radio interview that when it came to assault weapons “confiscation could be an option, mandatory sale to the state could be an option.”

Hand over your weapons - The Boston Globe

" The logic of gun control lies, at bottom, in substantially reducing the number of deadly weapons on the street — and confiscation is far and away the most effective approach. Is there any conceivable turn of events in our politics that could make confiscation happen? And what would a mass seizure look like? "

- David Scharfenberg, Boston Globe




Don't the gun grabbers always say that they don't want to take our guns?
They say that they only want to have common sense gun control.

Yes they do,,, and I have never believed them... Neither should you!

A mass seizure would look like Civil War.
And I, along with many others, would use a Civil War as cover to eradicate liberals and democrats in wholesale fashion. Nothing would give me greater pleasure.

Make this a sticky and when he decides to run for president send it far and wide...

And what is an assault weapon ... Any definition that moves them ....Weapons of war ... Every automatic handgun made ...

It's all fine and dandy as long as those enacting said Confiscation Regulations are the one's who will be performing them!

It's really that simple...

And it will then end, as quickly as it is started!

It doesn't matter who tries going door to door, you should pick your targets well ahead of that time. The time to fight is long before they knock on your door.

Never let the enemy choose the time and place for a fight if at all avoidable.

The problem IS - as it ALWAYS IS - is that so many of US are functioning, USEFUL members of Society.

AND that people COUNT on us.

When you are a useless slug like Stephen Paddock, you can go crazy. With no reservations. But an ALT-LEFT bastard like him has no conscience.

But CONSERVATIVES have principles, and although we think things thru, we are reluctant to murder innocents.

Which IS a GOOD THING.

But man, it puts us at such a disadvantage.

I will be perfectly honest - if the local LEO came to my door - demanded my guns - I would look straight into the eyes of my children - and then hand the LEO the guns.

We MUST not let it get to that point !!!!

 

[MothMan]

The first round of confiscation under the guise of failure to recertify your pistol permit will be coming to your home town soon.

Don’t be so ready to handover your firearms!! After all we have them for our children!!

 

[Airborneguy]

Let’s go lefties. Try it.

You'd be a smart man. And then after they leave you go to your attic and get the one you didn't give them and meet like minded people and come up with a plan to engage in guerilla warfare.

You'd be a fool to go out shooting and get your whole family killed. Never engage on their terms like some here advocate due to rage.

 

[Deplorable Me]

When I look at the historical incidents of mass extermination and genocide I see a common denominator. One side always has the guns, the other does not. In some cases it's the government in that particular moment in time that legitimized those actions.

I agree for the most part is all I'll say. My gun at least not all of them would be handed over. Some would be stolen. Wether or not they are stolen by me they would still not all be handed over.

But but but that won't happen here!! That's all I keep hearing, but yet the trust of the government and satisfaction is the lowest it's ever been. What gives?

Only one in the attic?

People are going to resist? Really? Look at how many are complying with the SAFE act and that's realistically only risking losing a rifle. I don't know what I would do in this scenario, but if you are complying with SAFE, I guarantee you will comply when they pass confiscation. Don't kid yourselves.

Only losing a rifle? You think that it? Dollars to donuts say the non compliers here do so only undercover. Private ranges, private land, or from their private closets.

Non of these non compliers are seen open carrying their fully featured rifles in front of barracks.

 

[SomeSoldier]

I want to see this writer first one through the door.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'm good with this as long as David Scharfenberg is the one confiscating them.

 

[Podmonkey]

Let’s go lefties. Try it.

When the shit goes down and if you run across what looks like a grizzly bear in jeans and a Carhart coat running the fancy but beat Daniel Defense, thats me. I'm on your side.

It's hard to respond to idiotic arguments without sinking to the same level, so I will let it stand as it is. Keep open carrying in front of the barracks with a compliant AR, I am sure that's wise and important.

I'm not trying to make an idiotic argument. I'm trying to show you that quote unquote "non compliers" are still complying since what they do is behind closed doors. Then these so called "non compliers" take bolt guns or whatever else is legal out in public when they need to be armed with something out in public.

It's hypocrisy. You don't think that those who take a "compliant" AR out in public with a 10 or 5 round magazine don't have anything else in their private closets?

Until I see the "non compliers" do it in front of a cop like the slogan goes for those that like to make fun of it goes rather than behind closed doors, they are taking the exact same risk as those who are quote unquote "complying" by putting a goofy stock on their rifles when they need to take them out in public.

 

[holdover]

They would run out of policemen in one week. They might win the first round , but they sure as hell wont win the second.Its a violation of the constitution .And disarming the public by force would be seen as an act of war against the people. You know those FEMA camps they built? It aint for us , its for them , because if shit ever goes south , they have no where to else go . Every law enforcement officers family and home would become a target they couldnt pump their own gas in safety. On duty or off duty they would be shot on sight. It isnt worth a paycheck if you wont live long enough to see the check .

Like it was said before, you don't fight from your house on their terms , Comply, do what you have to do . then fight on your terms when you have the advantage. Show them the same mercy they showed to others who resisted. Any officer should refuse to carry out such unlawful orders even if it means being fired or losing your pension , because you sure as shit will lose both anyways .

You should come to my range one day...

 

[Marine Cpl]

I try to avoid NYC brother.

 

[Podmonkey]

We all gotta except the fact that to accomplish anything we will have to stick our necks out. And to to that we need to make peace with the fact that some of us are gonna get our heads chopped off.

We should do a range meet outside NYS someday.

I have worked very hard to make my home defensible against a sustained attack by a hoard of aggressors.
I have no kids.
Thats all Im going to say.

Guys with the families should be figuring the have the most to fight for, as opposed to the most to lose.

Can't confiscate property that is owned by more than one person... You just won't be able to posses it anymore! Co-List!!! lol...
just sayin...

@Mosinitis

Really now? That's apples and oranges!
Or are you saying you walk around carrying whatever you want with no permit and your long guns are whatever you want and you flaunt it too?

Complying with the Safe-Act as it is, has no comparative to a methodical systematic effort to disarm through confiscation! Anyone can stretch their imagination to think it is so, but it's not. Confiscation is just that... That said, I don't disagree that many would buckle, and submit, maybe myself included, because if done smartly, it would be done in a manner to catch all those targeted unaware and unprepared. In all reality, the Gov't neither has the resources nor propensity to effect such a program and it's all a pipe dream which will never happen in our lifetime regardless of the collateral damage caused by mental misfits!

It's not a kid thing. It's a waste of a precious life and soldier who can teach others tactics. There is no absolute way you can come out of this alive and have maximum effect. So you take out 2, 3, or maybe even 5 by yourself if you are lucky before they burn you out. What does that do for the cause?

Now if you met like minded people and organized a rebellion with your skills, how many can you take out? It'll be more than 5 that's for sure.

How much damage do you think you can cause if you taught hunters basic patrolling techniques, fields of fire, how to take out convoys by showing them which vehicles to take out, how to set up ambushes, ect.

If all military guys got themselves killed, the rest of the hunters would get themselves killed by bad tactics.

This post probably got me put on a list but the truth is the truth. That's why they fear combat vets. By willingly getting yourself killed, you are doing the work for them.

IN EVERY CASE
