CT: confiscation looming...

[Scutter01]

maybe I'm a pessimist, but I'm curious to see how a confiscation attempt would work. Will people really fight back? What does fighting back look like? If a truck full of cops beats your door in at 1am whats the plan then?

We saw it after Katrina. Law-abiding citizens were murdered.

Make them felons on paper, no jail time needed, just go round up the guns, plea deal in hand, and slap the owners with a big red F on their record with a year probation.

Fewer evil AR-15's and no guns for the dissidents for the rest of their lives. It's a gun grabber dream coming true.

And remove their right to own guns and ammunition (under federal law) and their right to vote. Win-win for the grabbers.

I have seen so much naiveté here it is sad. It can't happen, We'll organize through INGO, we'll band together. Nice talk when your back isn't against the wall. When SHTF does happen what are you REALLY going to do? Most here will bow down to the Gods of the state. Talks cheap. In 1775 our forefathers actually put up , they didn't talk about liberty, they acted. Now we say it isn't OUR problem. It is, face it. The dominoes are starting to fall.Conneticut , California, where next ?

What happens if a democrat gets elected in 2016 ? Two or three seats on the Supreme Court will come up after that. Then where do we stand? People as Franklin said," We must all hang together, or assuredly we will hang separately.'' We as in all of us, need to get our heads out of the sand. Contact your congressman , senators , mayors, and let your voice be heard. Work to get the legislation we need passed , passed. It isn't just the NRA, NAGR, or the various other organizations responsibility to work , it's ours also.

A tinder box was lit at Lexington and Concord, and fellow Americans answered the call. When the tinderbox is lit again, are we going to answer the call, or say it isn't happening here?

I used to think confiscation really would be "door-to-door." Sometimes it is (Katrina). But without that drastic, emergency situation, confiscation will be different.

It begins with laws like this one in Connecticut. Now there is a basis to sic the enforcers on the citizens. (And they don't need much convincing.) There is now a giant list of prohibited contraband as well as a database of citizens who have no right to bear arms.

To understand what comes next, look at the War on Drugs. One by one, people will be investigated and arrested for breaking the law.

Don't expect militias to gloriously repel the tyranny. More likely, it will be a collection of seemingly isolated stories of people getting SWAT-teamed at 5:00 AM.

Many innocent people will have their lives ruined, lose thousands of dollars, spend years in prison, and live as life-long felons. And never again have a vote to change the system.

People will read about it in the newspaper and rationalize the tyranny like they always have. "They shouldn't have broken the law," they'll say. "If you don't like our laws, move to Somalia."

And things will go on like that, and it will become normal. People will wave their flags and sing songs about how free they are.

If they'd do it for plant leaves, they will sure as hell do it for caches of "assault weapons."

A very small percentage answered the call, aided by other "superpowers" of the time, against a non-domestic enemy that was stretched thin fighting other wars.
Sorry to be a pessimist, but had the British only had to deal with the "problem in the Colonies," ALL of our founding fathers would have died, at best, martyrs, and at worst, criminals that were drawn and quartered.

I see the possibility that if the populous resists with numbers showing support and getting a bit rowdy as they move from house to house, they will try to call in the National Guard for support and possible assistance. If the guys in the Guard don't balk, they will show up in numbers to keep the supporters at bay. People could get more incensed, shouting starts, rocks and bottles fly, someone sees what they think is a gun, some loud sound rings out and some idiot lets off a round and bam, you have another Kent State like event. Question is, where do things go from there? These idiots in the CT legislature seem to be staying silent. Or maybe I just haven't seen anything on this. How come there doesn't seem to be any one interviewing the legislature on what is happening and where things will go? How will the Legislature handle it if things get out of hand? Nobody seems to taking this to the ones that have started this to begin with. Where is the court case challenging the law on Constitutional grounds and trying for an injunction? I have probably missed it, I don't know.

Like I mentioned in the other thread on this, the irony here is mind boggling, CT is in the heart of the region where the Revolution started with the British army attempting to confiscate local guns and these morons are attempting the same thing. I don't see this ending well.

????????????????I'm not advocating armed insurrection. I'm only pointing out one possibility that I see happening as a result of some ignorant Legislation. How in Hades would that be objectionable speech? If it is I surely don't see how. I have DEFINITELY seen worse here.

I'm just throwing out the warning bro.

That's cool. Nite all.

Oh yeah, give them a reason to confiscate weapons. That guy should STFU. He's being confrontational, and all that does is up the ante. Be mad, but act like a loon, and hurt your position.

 

[Cpt Caveman]

Seems to me that he's just telling it like it is.
They've already made apparent what their intent is. They already have their reason in case you didn't notice. They want to CONFISCATE LEGALLY OWNED WEAPONS!
There's no way to hurt our position by speaking the truth.
He very eloquently stated that he hoped they would delay the implementation of the law until it had been decided whether or not it was constitutional.

Doesn't seem confrontational at all to me.

 

[printcraft]

................Doesn't seem confrontational at all to me.

Agreed.

Rolling over for progressive leftist socialist government type is seen as being non confrontational.

"GET IN THE BOXCAR!!"

"NO! F - YOU!"

"Why are you being so confrontational?"

What's interesting? Mike lives in Alabama and is hardly in any danger of reprisal from the government or legislature of CT.

He's neighboring up. Someone has to put it on the line or we all fall like dominoes.

Dude, you are not the only one having this EXACT thought.

You must not seen the previous discussions where Mike Vanderboegh made speeches in Connecticut, wrote an open letter to Connecticut law enforcement and government warning them about the possible consequences if they enforce unconstitutional laws, and has openly declared that he has violated their laws and will do so again in Connecticut. His home may be in Alabama, but he has absolutely aligned with the gun owners there and put himself in harms way to defend their rights even though it doesn't directly affect him.
