Gun Free America

[RP#62]

Saw this on Drudge today from Reason.com

Gun free America - here's all there is to it:

Step 1: Elect. For a gun-free America, the first thing you'll need is two-thirds of Congress. So elect a minimum of 67 Senators and 290 Representatives who are on your side.

Step 2: Propose. Then, have them vote to propose an amendment to the Constitution which repeals Second Amendment gun rights for all Americans.

Step 3: Ratify. Then convince the legislators of 38 states to ratify that change.

At this point, the Second Amendment is history, but you've done nothing to decrease gun violence. All you've done is remove the barrier for Congress to act.

Step 4: Legislate. You need to enact "common sense" reform.

You can try to do what Australia did and...ban all guns? That's not at all what they did, but whatever, f*&^ it. Go big or go home, right?

It will have to be passed by Congress and signed by the president. 

Great! The law is passed and guns are now illegal.  The only thing left to do is...

Step 5: Enforce. Guns won't just disappear because you passed a law. You need to confiscate some 350 million guns scattered among 330 Million Americans.

Sure, you can try a buy-back program like Australia, but like Australia that will still leave behind anywhere from 60 percent to 80 percent of privately owned firearms.

The rest you have to take.

You'll need the police, the FBI, the ATF or the National Guard—all known for their nuanced approach to potentially dangerous situations—to go door-to-door, through 3.8 million square miles of this country and take guns, by force, from thousands, if not, millions of well-armed individuals. Many of whom would rather start a civil war than acquiesce.

So inevitably gun violence, which is currently at a historic low, will skyrocket.

But that is how you get a gun-free America in five easy steps.

Gun free America

That's like saying...

Book free library, or airplane free airport, or caffine free coffee shop

In America we have guns period.

BUT we are talkin politicians here-NOT anyone with common sense. Even AFTER ALL the car and motorcycle manufacturers and small engine folks said 15% alky won't work and WILL void warranties the richard  heads in deception central keep tryin for 15% alky in our gasoline. Some one said they keep chipping at freedoms a bit at a time and fore ya knows it some-a bit at a time-of your freedoms if not gone entirely are changed significantly. obummer wants hope and change! I hope when he leaves a lot of crap he changed gets changed back to what works/worked. Seems as if all the dem liberals and some of the rep liberals wanna get our weapons. IF they DO change the 2nd amendment this COUNTRY as we knew it is done. I'm also thinkin lotsa rednecks like me ain't gonna put up with the bull kaka. More laws ain't gonna change a cursed thing. TRYIN to take away law abiding American Citizens guns-can you spell  C I V I L   W A R?  RIDE SAFE.

By the time the morally corrupt attempt such a maneuver this country will have already forgotten what our forefathers fought for.

Oh.....Wait.....Never-mind!!!!

Maybe I will just order a few more cases of my favorite cartridges. You know...... just to be safe. That 500 rounds in 10mm just doesn't seem adequate anymore.

Well, thats about it, isn't it.  Here I thought gun crime was already illegal. Why won't these not-wits just enforce this stuff.
