Thanks for the reply maybe that will lower some blood pressure, and slow the testosterone flow.
I think there's some legal mumbojumbo that U.N. legislation is above our nations laws... making the Constitution irrelevant.
I'm not absolutely sure about this. But this could be the back door to making this "legal".

Americans are typically known for over exagerating, the replies to this thread lend fruition to that remark.

If a gun ban comes into force in the US, YOU will give up your guns or you will be a criminal. You may not give them up at first, but given time you will. The constitution would be changed, so owning banned firearms would be a criminal offence.
All this ''from my cold dead hands'' is mostly just bravado from internet armchair warriors.

Australia's guns were taken because of a staged one man massacre.
As sad as it is my American friends, your guns will be taken from you,............(not from my cold dead hands ) i hear some say...... Wake up!
How you going to stop them, done a great job so far....

Apparently some of you Canadians and Australians would rather "lube up" than fight for what you believe in. I guess that is one way to live your life. I can't speak to what happened in New Orleans because I wasn't there and I don't trust the media to tell anything remotely like the truth.
It wasn't media, it was you tube. Amateurs uploading their own footage. So no mainstream footage. That was "Americans" taking guns from "Americans" by the way.

I will say this - I may be only one man but I WILL shoot at whoever tries to take my guns. I don't care if they are my neighbors or fellow citizens they will have become my enemy. Believe what I say or laugh me off as a crazy. It doesn't matter what you think.
Actually it does matter what I think, since you are commenting on my post.
Canada has already gone the route of confiscating guns, the central registry has already cost over a billion dollars and it doesn't work. They are currently in the process of repealing the long gun registry so most new shotgun and long gun purchases will be off the books. In short, we are not "lubing up". As an American, you can look back on the Branch Dividian situation (Waco Texas) to remind us what happens when you stand up to the ATF.

First I will gladly give them my ammo - one round at a time. Once that is gone, then they may be able to take my guns.

Let me play out that scenario for you.
* Officials show up at my door, and knock politely.
* I answer the door, and ask what I can do for them.
* Official says, "sorry sir, gotta take your guns."
* I say, " Ok, hold on a minute."
* I come back with my favorite gun and dump a mag in this guy, and hopefully his buddies behind him.
* Where it goes from here is anyone's guess, but I promise you it would not include my handing over my weapons. If you doubt me, you're sorely diluted.

I dare them to try . . . not just with me, but with millions of other Americans as well.
Not only do we own guns, but we know how to use them.

After ruffling the amount of feathers i did yesterday afternoon with my comments pertaining to this thread, i did a bit of thinking last night.
Im thinking that perhaps the government wont take your guns from you because when you get flanked by some country your currently invading (pick any from the many) that the people with the guns in America will be the last line of defence.
So infact you may keep your guns and you very well may die for your country.
