Why do people still think that our military would come after us?
We are our military, is a soldier going to round up his/her family?

Hey, OP! Who's going to protect me from you, when you have a bad day, your girlfriend dumps you, your Packers blow the big game, your car won't start, you neighbor looks at you the wrong way? Is there someone else, with a bigger gun, that will protect us all from you? And then, someone else still to protect us from the 'bigger gun' guy? I need to know, because that kind of knowledge, that a stranger is proclaiming his ability/willingness to 'protect' me when 'the time comes' is so veeeery conforting. Thanks, Papa Gun-Nut.
Freedom has a price, you enjoy all the benefits it brings, and in turn you have to endure some of the pain. You don't sacrifice freedom for safety or eventually you'll have neither. That's not just some antiquated phrase to be selectively ignored by people who have no real sense of self reliance.
so here is a summary of pelosis proposed ban.......this is not looking good....wonder how long its gonna take to find out which hand guns are specificly banned,and im not sure what they mean by the grandfathered weapons have to be registered.....(as not all states require registration)

Let's say things go to pot and the US govt decides, for whatever laughable reason, to "take over" its own citizens by force and round you up into controlled camps. You and your armed beer-swigging buddies say, "Nuh uh, not on my watch" - you grab your assault rifle(s) and...do....what? What do you do?

Although I appreciate your post, there is one thing that you and so many other people do not understand or comprehend...... A gun is property, you have the NATURAL BORN RIGHT to own ANY property you wish. You may use it however you want, so long as you do not harm anyone or violate their rights or property. The 2nd Amendment unfortunately means diddly squat to you or I. We had the right to bear arms since man first walked the earth, we do not need a piece of paper to reiterate that or to protect that.
WE are the authority. Government ONLY HAS the authority to regulate commerce....THATS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They can make no law, code, statute, ordinance or regulation which would abrogate our NATURAL BORN RIGHTS, which existed long antecedent to the CREATION of "government" by MAN.
Does anyone else understand or comprehend this? Just say NO to ALL law enforcement (read that as security guards for the corporation), AND give no name, as that is CONSENT TO CONTRACT with these idiots. Stand up for your NATURAL BORN RIGHTS and tell the government to feck off and die!!!
WE have the RIGHT to own FULLY automatic weapons if we wish!!!! Harm no one!

I wonder, does your 'intuition' tell you that no one cares about your 'intuition', except you? Of copurse, if I think there should be some sensible gun control laws, I must be less than a man, right? I mean, if I were a 'real man', I'd want eveyone to have their own tank, right? What's wrong with me, caring about 20 gunned down First graders? I should just calling those kids wimps because they weren't carrying weapons themselves, right? You gun freaks ar ALL the same. If some one questions your logic, that person MUST be unworthy of serious consideration. I sure am glad all you open-minds are the ones who are armed.

I appreciate the sentiment, OP. But I live in a society that is not overrun by fretful people that hold guns closer to their bosoms than their own children. As such, I do not require your protection.
But thanks, anyway, Duke!
