In the wake of the MIAC report and the Virginia Terrorism Threat Assessment, another document issued by the Department of Homeland Security “for official use only” covering so-called “rightwing extremism” has surfaced. The document warns federal and local officials to expect “terrorism” in response to planned firearm restrictions and other points covered below.

Alex Jones called the numbers listed on the document and validated its authenticity. He contacted the “watch captain” at the Department of Homeland Security’s National Infrastructure Coordinating Center who confirmed the product number on the document as legitimate but would not comment further. A call to the FBI went unanswered.
When strangers (any domestic & foreign entities) come for peoples' guns, they're also coming to take away plenty of freedoms, which every man, woman, and child deserve to keep.

Australia has half the population, less than half the crime and 100 times less gun related deaths. Learn something from your little brother.

I'm sure you will all get plenty of oppurtunity to submit restricted firearms and be properly reimbursed for them.
They police won't go door to door raiding home after home for guns.
They will know where restricted registered weapons are, or should be and notices will be sent.
Its the unregistered illegitimate weapons that can be handed in with amnesty. Extremely strict laws will come into place for those found to be in posession of illegitimate weapons.
Just give up the guns already. The only excuse i've ever heard from Americans citizens regarding their firearms is, "i need to protect myself and my family."
the excuse is poor. because everyone has a gun, everyone else has a need for a gun. if everyone gives up the gun, nobody needs a gun.
30,000 people a year. it is disgusting. you all cry when 5000 die in iraq for no good reason! justify that.

The majority of gun-related deaths in the United States are suicides,[7] with firearms used in 16,907 suicides in the United States during 2004.
In metropolitan areas, the homicide rate in 2005 was 6.1 per 100,000
U.S. cities with populations greater than 250,000, the mean homicide rate was 12.1 per 100,000
The 20- through 24-year-old age group accounted for 7.1% of the population,[31] while accounting for 22.5% of those killed by firearm homicides.
For violent crimes (assault, robbery, and rape), guns were used 0.83% of the time in self-defense.
Of the 480 deaths by firearm in 1995 in Australia, 389 or 81 percent were suicides
In the period 1991-2001 the number of firearm deaths in Australia, including murder, suicide and accidents, dropped by almost 50 per cent.

And you can't compare countries on a crime per capita basis, because when you multiply the population by fifteen, the social stresses become exponential.
