Still I feel it will be a long road for them to fight to take guns period. They may one day get their way again with Assault Rifles. But I just do not see them ever getting away with a total ban. Unless they do it with one big swoop, by creating a false flag event to put the country into Marshal Law.
I will always make the calls, send the letters and support groups to keep our 2A rights.
To many manufacturers of Firearms and Accessories, to much Job loss potential. The backlash would be enormous. I think they like to scare us into panic buying to create the shortages, but it also puts a lot of money in government official's hands from all the lobbyist for them to end it all.
I refer you to Obamacare passed as absolutely NOT a tax.
Argued before the SCOTUS as a tax.
Construed and contorted into a tax by John Roberts and judged constitutional instead of being sent back to congress to be passed AS a tax.
Given to the IRS for enforcement while they are using the power of their agency and colluding with the Dept of Labor and the Treasury (ATF / OSHA / EEOC etc.) to harass and intimidate political donors and political and non-political activist groups that the democrats turned over to them as 'suspect' or who happened to have words like 'patriot' in their organization name.
I do not think the backlash from infringing on or repealing by over regulation and even outright executive repeal of the 2nd will be nearly as large as the complete hash of our rights and economy the 'Affordable Health Care Act' will cause.
There are too many sheeple and even those of us who aren't exactly sheeple probably have too much to lose to do much about it.
How many folks in CA do you think contact Feinstein or Boxer even with a pre filled out NRA card?
How many don't do it because they expect to be turned straight over to a FBI or IRS list as a potential suspect?
Look at the laws passed in Connecticut and New York recently or the massive pile of steaming crap we have to put up with in CA. When I move here it was BAD and it has gotten massively worse since then. People born here have NO idea what it is like back in the sane parts of the country. My buddy who OWNS a gunshop finally after about six months to a year realized what a couple of us were telling him about Private Party transfers in most states NOT having to go through a gunshop really ment. He just couldn't wrap his head around the concept of bob and Jim trading guns with each other WITHOUT the knowledge of the state.
When you get enough people dependent on the government there is no end to what they will give up to keep the government cheese flowing.
