Did beezzer say, "Good"?

An EO is about the only way Obama could get something like his draconian gun bans passed. And (if I'm not mistaken) an EO only lasts as long as his presidency. So in 4 years, not only will Obama be gone, but much of congress that goes along with this as well.

This could be the constitutional mandate to get the progressives (in both parties) out!

*cough*
*cough*

(Libertarians, are you listening>)


An executive order cannot supersede a constitutional amendment. He can try, but I think even that bag of bones Ginsberg would tell him "Are you f***ing kidding me?"



edit on 9-1-2013 by AwakeinNM because: supersede. I know better than that.

I know, it's like watching someone take the dummy off the baby.........except it's a bloody country! That place must be a right messed up hole if people need guns so bad to feel as if they can lead a normal life?

America land of the Paranoid gun owners.

Mine have been cleaned, well oiled, magazines rotated, basic loads filled, with tac rigs and go bags prepared for some time. I am just waiting for the word, albeit for a peaceful march or doomporn to the extreme!

They are all bolt action single shots and over-under shotguns though

If Americans sit on the sidelines and let him pass an Executive Order to get rid of the 2nd Amendment then you won't have a new congress, you won't have a new anything. You will have an Emperor Obama.

Well a lot of posts I am reading basically say "Lock and load" - so if they do go ahead with an Executive Order then get ready for some nasty fighting on the streets.

But you know what is sad....a lot of people won't do anything even if this happens, the only thing that might start it off is when the boots hit the ground and we hear about families getting raided and their guns confiscated.

How about a a protest in the form of ALL gun owning Americans buying a copy of Total Resistance by Hans von Dach. I think that might send a stronger message then even donations to the NRA... iT was written by a swiss general on basically how to resist if Switzerland became occupied by communist. Excellent book and recommended by many in military. If that became national best seller might send the message, it's all over the net as a PDF as well. Just sayin.

You know what you WON'T hear about are the incidents where people fight back and overwhelm the confiscators. Those will be non-events so that they don't 'embolden' others to resist.

If such a thing were to happen, and I really think there's a greater chance the star will implode currently.... but if it did, they would likely make sure you heard nothing at all, airwaves and net would be locked down.

Gee you must be so proud. Can't you see your antagonistic replies fall on deaf ears? I have listened to all that people have had to say on this forum, and other threads. No of it makes any sense what so ever.

I am intrigued and amused at the same time that you consider something so silly, so important in your small lives.

I take it from your use of the English language you are not a "thick" man, however it amazes me your lack of knowledge of other countries or the world for that matter.

No other country is like you America. You are a bunch of Paranoid gun owners who (in there minds) think they are under constant attack...........lord knows form what?

Could you outline what you personally need a gun for?

Beetles?
Snakes?
Bears?
Afghans?

I'm not sure (in normal residential life) what you need a gun for? and I certainly can't see in light of recent massacres why a gun owner would be proud to own one?

These massacres have singled you out (from the worlds eyes) as a nation of gun lovers who would kill you without even blinking an eye. I'm afraid this "conversation" with you is confirming that for me personally and others who read this public website.

Why so adamant about keeping a bloody gun?

What is going to happen, please tell me?

Are you that keen to "kill" somebody?

I see you are refusing to address ANY of my points and the best I am going to get out of you is answering a question with a question.

You have now outed yourself and you have been properly marked for who you are in this thread.

Anyone else want to challenge my points.

Ahemmm,

We are a country FOUNDED on VIOLENT REVOLUTION!!!.......FACT

IT has BEEN DONE before.......FACT!1!

WE would NOT be a country if not for VIOLENT revolution by those who were sick and tired of a tyrannical form of government............FACT!

WE WON a VIOLENT REVOLUTION with a SMALL minority of like minded individuals!.......FACT!

There is NOTHING inherantly written into the fabric of the Universe preventing it from happening again........unless.......WE DON"T HAVE THE GUNS TO DO IT WITH!!!!!!!!

Anyone care to take a crack at that?

THIS is the answer to your question in the simplest way I can describe it. Now, I am well aware that you are not going to "get it" and I understand your question was completely rhetorical and you are in no way interested in learning or growing beyond your current understanding of the way in which our world and the people within it works so, I know this is falling on deaf ears but hey, someone else might get something out of it.





LOGANVILLE, Ga. —


A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday.

The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m. The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar.

But the man eventually found the family.

"The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he's staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver," Chapman told Channel 2’s Kerry Kavanaugh.

The woman then shot him five times, but he survived, Chapman said. He said the woman ran out of bullets but threatened to shoot the intruder if he moved.






The woman ran to a neighbor's home with her children. The intruder attempted to flee in his car but crashed into a wooded area and collapsed in a nearby driveway, Chapman said.

America was technically a peaceful declaration of independence until the British invaded, although the boston tea party would be called a terrorist act by todays standards it didn't kill anyone. Then it got violent, so to take a lesson from history, wait till the goons bust your door down before you start firing, and don't be like that moron who pledges to "start shooting" if an executive order is passed.

Not here I am a descendent of quite a few individuals who very efficiently used violence during that conflict to kill brittish troops. A couple who did particularly well with Marion in the Carolinas.... But really all countries are founded ultimately by violence..... and ultimately by a violent minority that does the actual fighting. WILL, usually matters more then numbers. Most people just shutter their windows, and hide under a rock. We may reach a point someday in this country where Americans do the same, meekly handing over their freedom, but I don't think that time has come just yet. The only way to do it ATM would result in an absolute blood bath...

Couldn't agree more.
The founder had to have known that it wouldn't be as easy as just sayin' "Hey King George......GO "F" YOURSELF".

But, they played it smart and let THEM make the first move.

This country SAVED YOUR F***ING ASSES WITH OUR LIVES.

How about some respect for the country that was once a shining example of freedom to the world. A country that came to the aid of Europe when a dictator threatened all. Our constitution and the freedoms it protects is what made this country great.

You are STILL at the mercy of a queen! SLAVES ALL OF YOU! Go now from us and grovel at her feet!!

That's an interesting take. It started out as a peaceful plea for compensation and representation in the light of certain injustices perhaps decade before Declaration....there was no cry for actualy independence or not much of one....they saw them selves as British subjects and only wanted to be treated more fairly.......by the time the Declaration of Independence was signed we were a good six years into the bloodshed, that started with Boston Massacre.... when they did so every signer knew there was no peaceful out. To sign it meant treason, and the ONLY way such a thing had ever been responded to was with force....there was nothing peaceful about it, it wasa gauntlet thrown down. Every member who signed knew full well it meant war....let's not revise events...

There is a difference between now and then. If violent revolution occurs, it will not be to overthrow a government. It will be to defend it from those who would usurp its authority.

I actually do not condone ANY overthrow of our government. I do, however, INSIST that they cease to attempt to usurp authority that is not theirs to take and that they immediately start taking measures to restore those authorities that have already been usurped...
