wink, wink
I wouldn't be so optimistic about it if I were you. It has been done many times before in countries like Australia and England... they know exactly how it needs to be done and how to make it successful.

Maybe because those are stupid things? Whatfor do you need a telescope on your self-defense-weapon? For something like "active" self-defense over a mile away?
Rrrrrright.
No. Demanding to have the rights to wear army-style-weapons is nothing anybody should be proud of.
I want a gun with a telescope!

So all that's happened is someone selling a book has listed some guns from a list in 2007, and the whole internet believes it? And clicks to his website. And his book advert.
Wow. Man, people are so easily played.

I guess it is too difficult to link directly to the bill?
nra propaganda would be my guess...get the people to run out and buy more guns at the fear that they will be soon removed...they do play the marketing game well.

Jimmyx is 100% dead on. If you think your right to bear arms is going to protect you from the U.S. military you are insanely naive. Once you are deemed a threat to the country you will lose any credibility with the people in the military, and the larger public. From that point on you are fair game.
Your movements will be watched from space, your communications will be monitored, your supply lines will be halted, your members tagged and interrogated at will. After all that you will be droned, or have a visit from a precision missile fired from hundreds of miles away. After that, if you're unlucky enough to still be breathing, you'll receive a personal visit from highly trained ground forces.
In the 1700s when the public and military alike only had archaic rifles it may have seemed reasonable to think the public could protect themselves from their own government, but now it's just laughable.

Tothetenth, if you are going to shut down a perfectly legitimate thread for being "too similar to this one," then you might as well shut this thread down for being a HOAX and having no sources?

I ran across this article tonight and it bothers me because someone at work had mentioned that if BO got re-elected one of the first thing he'd go after was our guns. I'd didn't know much about guns or think much of it at the time, but when I heard that within 12 hours of being re-elected he signed some sort of U.N. Treaty or promissary note or something (maybe someone here can shed more light on this than I can)
Does this bother anyone else on ATS? I don't want to see our country go the way of China.
