I meant to say the UN would come and take them not Nato. See what happens when you post without having a full cup of coffee first. :)

Recall what I said in a different thread regarding the enumeration of rights delimiting "all" rights to only those enumerated?



"The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". That would be infringing.

I agree that it would be infringing but, never trust the government to do the right thing. I purchase ammo when I have the funds.............oh wait I forgot I sold my guns :roll:

Someone once said with lead you can always get gold. I used to just blow it off, but now I think he may have something there. Not that I ever want to see it come to that.

Yes he has built a force inside the US, but has also passed executive orders that will enable him to open the door for NATO to come and do the deed for him. It will be easy for them to do it as they have no ties here. Look at the executive orders and think how they could be used. :(


The force you talk about has been in place long before the current POTUS.

People who write articles like this should be tied naked to a pole and beat with a whiffle ball bat.

First and foremost, I highly doubt you would get the US military to react in a violent manner against their own kind. Every military guy I know is a gun owner, avid hunter, and a CCW holder. So suddenly, because the US government says so, they are going to rise up and use their weaponary against us? Committ genocide? It isn't going to happen. People can spout doomsday bull *censored* all day long, it isnt going to happen like that. These men fight for our freedoms, they arent going to turn on the very flag they protect because someone says to.

Secondly, do they think we as US citizens are stupid? If it ever happened, everyone I know who is a gun owner wouldn't have a gun. They would show up and say hand them over and I would shrug my shoulders and say hand what over??? :confused: I have 100 acres of land 3 hours from here and 50 or so acres 8 hours from here. Good luck finding them. Or me for that matter. No cell phones, no paper trail. Cash or gold only. Move fast and take the dirt roads.

Dont believe the hype and take care of your own. It's that simple. United we stand, divided we fall and I would rather die on my feet then live on my knees.

For the most part they will do what they are told to do, we have already seen that.

That is my HOPE as well, Rwalker. I have faith that most would not comply. If they decide to turn and bite the hand that feeds them, the American people will have their backs. ;)

And that's a fact John. I keep saying, there's the talkers & then there's the doers. We've got a whole lot of doers around. The kind that don't need to get patted on the butt nor receive any kind of recognition--PATRIOTS--

The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, can not and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheep dog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours.

Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer that he didn't tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports in camouflage fatigues holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, "Baa."

Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog.
