Ron Paul Warns of 2nd American Revolution if Obama Bans Guns

On today's show, Alex welcomes former Congressman Ron Paul to speak about the establishment's attempt to "brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way," to quote Eric Holder.

Dr. Paul ALWAYS has a way to break it down with no ill-intent anyone on EITHER side; just the facts, and let it be soaked in as one pleases. Guns are not the only topic that Ron covers during this half-hour, so incase your tired of the gun debate it still may be worth listening

Nothing will happen. Gun nuts are all talk and no bite.

Why didn't you start a revolution when the first assualt weapons ban took place a couple decades ago?

The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB), or Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, was a subtitle of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms, so called "assault weapons".

en.wikipedia.org...


Or for all the current assault weapon bans that have been going on in multiple states for years now?

In addition to New York (see above), Massachusetts and New Jersey have enacted similar bans. Cook County of Illinois has enacted a similar, but more restrictive ban. California enacted one of the first bans on semi-automatic rifles in 1989, adding stricter measures to the law several times since. Connecticut has enacted a partial ban that focuses on assault weapons with certain characteristics. Hawaii and Maryland have assault pistol bans pertaining to assault weapon characteristics only and pistols.

Or the patriot act?
Or the NDAA?

Yeah.....that's what I thought.

Guess the only amendment you all care about is the 2nd one. Kind of sad really..

There is a line, you don't see it and you can't see how many people are standing behind it.

yeah. the first time they took em away did we have the NDAA as you said it? no, at least not the way its written now. which is more than enough reason for people to say F# you and keep their guns, or should we roll over and give up all our rights easy? if anything its a sign of people waking up. unfortunately, you're not part of the club 8-)

I dont think think this guy should have been Americas leader.....
I think he should have been the worlds leader!!!!!

I dont agree with guns in the hands of the public but everything else he said is spot on, with people like him in power no one would feel the need for guns to protect against government tyranny

And the relevance? They still "banned" guns...which should have had all of you in a rage. But you guys did nothing....nothing at all. You all like to fantasize about being some George Washington type...but you just don't have the balls. That's all it comes down to.

You should have started a revolution with the patriot act....right. But no, once again, you all didn't. Same with the NDAA.

Good luck fighting the US military tho. You'll probably last a few weeks before they drone strike you and block off all roads, leading you to starve to death. Guns didn't help Waco......

well I think we can get by with 200 million guns

just take care of them

Sooner or later there will be a straw that breaks the camels back. This is definately it. But as I said it will be targetted assasinations first without doubt. There are people out there with very itchy trigger fingers just waiting to be given the reason to start. I believe any infringement on the 2nd amendment will be a trigger.

If obama does nothing it will sit and fester for a bit longer , if obama tries even one thing then TS will HTF I believe. Remember there are now millions who know 9/11 was an inside job. That means they have a tyranical government. This will mean to many that the gloves are off.

When Bush 41 extended the assault weapons ban gun owners kicked his butt to the curb. We still had some political wiggle room then but it was short lived. Now the wiggle room is gone and the deification is about to his the ventilation. I am sure this psyop will work for a lot of the people. We will only have about 3-5% of the public support just like the first American revolution.

It will be a hard and bloody fight and they will pick us off like flies most times and other times we will make them bleed. It will end in world government, or a restored free republic hopefully but more likely it will just end in ashes and blood for most of us here in Amerika. We have known it would come to this but we always hoped for and have worked for a peaceful solution.

Ah yes, the "why haven't you done anything up to now" argument.
It's quite simple relative to the 1994 ban - everything was grandfathered, no additional regulations were imposed.
Relative to that ban, there were ways to "get around" it due to the statute imposed definitions of what exactly comprised an "assault weapon".

The current proposals that have been bandied about are much more far-reaching, and even so, the reaction to the implementation of these new measures will not likely spur any group to acts of war. Depending upon the measures enacted, I surmise that the public reaction (rather than just the outcry) would occur upon ENFORCEMENT. DItto the Patriot Act, NDAA, various EOs and other infringements on the People's liberty.

Eh, you are kind of doing the same thing.

I don't support the concept of a civil war, I think it is possible with ACTUAL protest, but a civil war is NOT unfathomable. It just always seems that way. I bet it seemed that way before the first one.

It will always seem unimaginable in a civilized modern country. They don't start all at once, people don't just pick up their guns and fall in. It starts with an incident.

The fact is people are worried, and worry turns to fear, and fear can turn to action. We do have a right to own weapons, they are NOT a problem nor are they the cause. Attacking guns is a way to give the appearance of problem solving without actually doing anything to fix the problem, rather it just creates a bigger problem and infringes on people's rights.

The problem that gun advocates have made for themselves is that they have tried to soften their words and bend to the left by saying they keep their guns for hunting and sport, really they should have just been honest and said "it's our right, it's in the constitution to make sure you (the government) can't overthrow the rule of the people." They gave the answer that created the least response and accusations so they didn't have to answer questions like "so you think you will need to overthrow the government, blah blah etc" and so they couldn't be called nutters. They should have just admitted all along that it was because it is a right guaranteed them by the constitution and put in place in case the government started hurting the people.

Our system of representation is obsolete and so it is becoming more corrupt. People have near instantaneous communication and so representatives aren't really that necessary. We should be calling for term limits for all government figures and working to achieve our will via technology. We should probably elect officials in a similar fashion to jury duty and anything they propose should be voted on every time by the people at each level of governance.

Something has to change and it's not the rights of the people. it's our government system.

Gawd this is pathetic...no revolution for the starving and other more important problems in America, threaten to take guns...bam..threat of revolution.

Americans and their priorities are in need of some serious help.

Just because you can't see the forest for the trees doesn't mean it's someone else's failure.

I have been trying to start a revolution in this country since 1990. I have been actively seeking the overthrow of the US government most of my life. I seek the hangings of most of congress, the entire supreme court, the federal reserve and executive branch. Every fiber of my being cries out day and night for justice and freedom.

I just don't want to end up being a lone nut whose death is a mere footnote. When the revolution starts I will be fighting it day and night until freedom is restored. Until then I will keep begging for people to pay attention to what I am saying and praying enough of them wake up so the war actually happens.

Our forefathers started the revolution over things we regard as trivial today. I do not understand how we have become so weakened and have become a nation of cowards and sheep. I feel I am the only one who longs for freedom to be restored. I get nostalgic watching movies from the 70's and seeing how free we used to be. Or even old sci fi. They show "police states" that are a huge amount freer than what we live under today.

Yet no one does a thing. It makes me sick and sad. Are there any real Americans left?

I don't often disagree with Ron, but ban guns.

In my country we argue and fight, people get bruises and calm down.

In America, people argue, shoot each other and everyone around them has their lives ruined.

#ing evolve, the wild west is over.
