Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
So you want to go straight to confiscation?
You'll have a full scale insurrection on your hands....
With all due respect, brother AAA.
There will be no full scale insurrection.
Americans will stand by and do nothing when a government steals as almost as much of their income as they please and now plan to confiscate more.
Americans will stand by as one of the most egregious laws in the history of the United States is implemented and confirmed by the so called supreme court: Obamacare.
And you think the citizens/slaves are going to mount an insurrection because they may not get to keep their SCARs?
The way this will be handled by the government will not be in one massive sweep.
It will be done very slowly.
Confiscations and fines will go like this:
2 confiscations in Wisconsin.
A month later: 1 confiscation in California.
Two months later: 1 confiscation in Florida.
A month later: 2 confiscation in Oregon.
The way laws are enforced is by example.
When you set up the dominoes and thump the first one, the rest fall practically all by themselves.
In other words, the government will proceed with such subtle caution that the sleepy citizens of this country won't even think about such actions as a full scale insurrection.
I mean, of course, some will, but the overwhelming majority don't have the guts.
Personally, I'm way more upset about our tax scam and Obamacare than giving up my AR-15.
On the other hand, if Obama tried to take away all guns (which he won't), then that would be a totally different situation.
