The Mathematics of Countering Tyranny .. Removing semi-auto rifles from civilian hands

The Mathematics of Countering Tyranny JAMES WESLEY RAWLES MAY 15, 2018
Introductory Proviso: The following essay on possible gun confiscation is a purely conjectural gedankenexperiment about the future that extrapolates from recent history and current trends.

Nothing herein is seditious (per 18 U.S. Code § 2384), nor a call to arms, nor a threat to our government or to any individual, agency, or group.

THE COLLECTIVIST DREAM
The current mass media-driven “debate” on firearms (actually more like paternalistic lecturing or chiding) seems to be leading toward greater restrictions by Congress. The collectivist gun grabbers have the dream of ignoring the Second Amendment and somehow magically removing all detachable magazine semi-auto rifles from civilian hands. But it is just that: a dream. If they think that they can disarm us, then they are thoroughly deluded. I’ll explain why, with some simple mathematics.

A key assumption was stated in this sentence:

“It bears mention that the military would be mostly out of the picture, since they are banned from domestic law enforcement roles, under the Posse Comitatus Act.”

Given how the Constitution and laws in general are currently being ignored by TPTB, I think the Posse Comitatus Act will be little more than an expansion strip on the highway to hell should TPTB really feel threatened, and that will change the door kicker math a bit. Note how they are already purging the military in preparation...

Federal Appeals Court Rules Trump’s Bump Stock Ban Is Unconstitutional

'With or without a bump stock, a semiautomatic firearm is capable of firing only a single shot for each pull of the trigger,' the opinion reads.

Who's to say all previously confiscated firearms didn't suffer boating accidents? Every ATF agent is a suspect as are all their friends and family and we all know the FBI is honorable.

Posse Comitatus is just a law. It's not a constitutional prohibition.

It can be eliminated just as easily as the law they want to use the military to enforce can be passed.

If they eliminate the filibuster they could do it right now.

SCOTUS wouldn't be able to stop them either (even if they developed a backbone).

Even easier, Martial Law.

An impossible dream...

You cannot wish away the 2nd!

Or the couple of hundred million firearms in circulation! Doesn't matter how much pot you smoke or mushrooms you eat! These politicans are lost in their own sauces!!!
