Could gun confiscation result in a civil war?

Just about every gun in Juarez came from an American 'businessman' and the very favorable guns-for-cocaine exchange rate. We have very astute businessmen. A $500 gun will get you $2000 worth of cocaine.

 

YES it would. I was there for Katrina and I assure you they might have been sweeping guns in some ghetto areas and other spots but had they begun to spread out everyone was loaded down and ready for anything that might come their way with all the mass confusion. Only idiots handed their guns over and that is their right to be stupid. I carry a gun in New Orleans for over 40 years now during the BEST of times I sure as hell wasn't going in without one during that event.

Consider this.. The police can not contain the violence in the ghettos controlled by the government to begin with, place where people don't even know how to really shoot. What exactly do you think will happen when every cop becomes a target anyplace they go at anytime by people with much better arms and the knowledge to actually use them proficiently? You can wave your hands and pass anything you want and ban anything you want. I don't think that route has ever once in the history of man actually made all those things suddenly disappear. Some cops here last week stole 22 lbs of COCAINE and SOLD IT. Do you think that won't happen with guns IllLogician? It seems like Logi's idea involves us all being killed but at a much reduced rate or so he imagines in his utopian world where evil doesn't actually exist.

Pass the laws, ban away. Then comes the fun part! You actually have to go and GET THEM with your own bare hands. Who is going to take that job on? You won't make it to lunch much less payday! And don't think for a second the military is going to do it for you either. Those guys are fighting for the RIGHT to own their guns. What about all the ex-military that already fought for their RIGHTS? Think they are just going to roll over and hand over their guns? LMAO Check the number of active Military and Cops in the country and then check the number of licensed deer hunters alone and get back to me. Remember that is just deer hunters and lots of gun owners don't hunt. More people would get killed trying to confiscate guns than anyone can even possibly imagine. All the guns being sold and all the ammo all these years hasn't all been bought just to shoot cans and deer alone.

But what do I know I only shoot every weekend with ex-military guys that swear to kill every last person that ever attempts to take their guns. I never served myself but I will be (*)(*)(*)(*)ed if I will hand over the guns I inherited from my family that did and some that died doing so. I'll slap Uncle Sam upside the head before I will insult their sacrifice.

So give it a go and let's see how it works out. I am betting not so well.

 

“Do not be fooled by a belief that progressives, leftists hate guns. Oh, no, they do not. What they hate is guns in the hands of those who are not marching in lock step of their ideology. They hate guns in the hands of those who think for themselves and do not obey without question. They hate guns in those whom they have slated for a barrel to the back of the ear.”

So where do all those automatic weapons used by Mexican drug cartels come from?

Besides, isn't this just one more reason to secure the border, something Democrats (and secretly many Republicans) have long opposed?

Ever heard of the Minutemen? It's a group of gun owners who volunteer their own time on the border to help make sure cocaine stays out, and guns do not go to Mexico. You'd think supporters of gun control should be thanking them, but just the opposite is the case. I'm tired of progressive hypocrisy.

 

Those thugs shooting at the cops turned their weapons in?

 

lol: This kind of silliness just cracks me up. "regulate them out of existence" what kind of ostrich could truly believe that is possible? You can regulate legal ownership out of existence, but you would dramatically ramp up illegal ownership in the process.

 

And this is the winner of the thread. Katrina came after a massive overhaul of FEMA and the responsibilities of local state and federal agencies were re-defined. Katrina was the first real live fire test of all these new systems. It exposed a lot of confusion miss information, and basically people not knowing what they should or should not be doing. The whole process was overhauled again using the lessons learned from this disaster. The responses we have seen in post Katrina situations show the lessons were learned well.

 

Have you read things about the aftermath of Sandy? Doesn't sound much better than Katrina, except for the geography involved. Katrina caused the problems it did because New Orleans is surrounded by swamps, rivers and lakes. There is no easy way out or in to New Orleans if a few bridges are knocked out (which is what happened).

 

And yet that is what the gun control groups are doing, is it not?

 

I wonder why HOMELAND SECURITY recently secured a contract for 1.6 billion
rounds of ammunition ,of which 450 million rounds were .40 caliber hollow
points which are not used for training or target practice, and banned by international
agreement for combat. This is more ammunition than all of our troops have used
in the last seven years! UMM!
