What if you are outvoted?

[roisigns]

Imagine that 70% of Americans vote to outlaw gun ownership. Do you turn yours in or relocate to another country?

my backyard turns into the free republic of andrew...

 

[Kirk Freeman]

We don't have to image. Some of us here have lived in cities that had gun bans.

The compliance rate was a fraction of a percentage point.

guns?... what guns?

 

[fullmetaljesus]

I have a craw space that the entrance is a closet, i would put my guns and ammo in there and then dry wall over the entry way. Guns, I don't have any guns.

I would say you may not have much choice. Knowing the lengths government can go to force its will upon you, in the end you will forcibly give up your guns. If you were able to keep a few them by deception, you'd likely never be able to enjoy them again because you'd likely be discovered and reported.

Where would you move? I'm not sure you'd find an alternative by that point. My guess would be that by the time the US reached this point, we'd be following the rest of the civilized world and there'd be no place to go.

People actually own guns?

In all reality... I have never really thought about it. I'd assume America will never be that extreme.

 

[CtWest]

Sorry sold it. No gun household here!

 

[DCM8513]

Not sure but id say that there are too many americans that wouldnt be willing to give up tere guns. Probably be an uprising. Not only from gun lovers but constitutionalists. Lets hope that it never gets to that point but if it does id hope that the outcome would be a failed attempt.

Sorry, but not even a 70% vote would make that constitutionally possible.

I would neither turn them in nor relocate. I would fart in their general direction.

Yep, we don't live in a democracy thank God.

whats popular isnt always right, and whats right isnt always popular

First, if you want to relocate, where do you go?

Second, if they (whoever they are) thinks you have guns or even had any, they will tear your house down looking for them. I sold them or I lost them, will not be an acceptable answer.

Remember, our military (& the blue hats, which will come if we get to that point) have had years of experience looking for weapons, and know how to find them.

Would people be willing to give up their guns, I hope not. I'm 59 y/o, and have already told my family that that is 'my line in the sand' (and if it comes to that, hopefully I hold to it).

ATM, good point, so raise it to 76%. But depending on the state votes, you could get 3/4 with 70% (minor point).

Whats lawful isn't always right, and whats right isn't always lawful.

If you think its time to bury them, you probably should be digging them up.

 

[lashicoN]

My same old answer...they can't have my guns, but I'll give them my ammo.

 

[Oliver]

Since when did voting start to matter?

This. I've always heard it: If its time to bury them, its time to dig them up. Same idea...If you think it's time to start hiding your guns it may, in fact, be exactly the time when you need them most. I think more people than would admit have the same line in the sand. We've seen how such an order can be the beginning of the end for large numbers of people many other times in history.

I always think of the overreaching Jewish motto: "Never Again." Good for them...and I hope many Americans would feel the same.
