First, the red NON-Bold text: Whether our government wishes to treat them as such or not, an EO is NOT a law. Only the Legislative Branch (ie. Congress) can make laws.Quote:

Look at all of the realistically misdemeanor offenses that are now classified as felonies for proof of this intent. The ultimate goal is control and disarmament of the citizenry by any means possible. To demonized a citizen by permanently classifying them as felons they effectively neutralize them for life. Our "leaders" know precisely what they're doing.
As far as much of the remainder of the post, I quickly scanned it and I am not impressed. Licensing either firearms or firearms owners (FOID cards in IL is an example of this) is another means of both control and setting up a database to know who to target for confiscation & or imprisonment later. What's to stop the authorities from making unannounced visits to verify full compliance of the laws - under the auspices of "public safety" at any point in time? NOTHING! I you want the people to maintain any power over the government you need to maintain the anonymity of firearms owners.
The only compromise that should be occurring is the .gov stepping away from the Rights infringement they seem so hell-bent on performing.
ETA: It's not a compromise when only 1 side has something to lose.

It is VERY important for us like-minded to understand that the Liberals/Progressives are not the only dangerous people to the 2A. You equally need to worry about people that mascaraed around as Constitutionalists, 2A supporters. Really, they are nothing but limp wristers that will take what uncle sam will give them.
... they will try to convince you that more compromise is the answer, and that there is no other choice. They are blue falcons, and they are cowards. FMedges said it yesterday.... cowardice spreads like a disease. You need to distance yourself from these types of people. They will sell you out, and they will get you killed.
I haven't submitted to shit. Careful, you're starting to sound like the libs. Remember that our rights are GOD-given. They not granted by the gov AND not by you (sorry to be the one to break that to you). So, you do not get to determine who deserves our freedoms. You would have much less success attempting to do so than the gov. Just chill and carry on with your debate without all the drama.Quote:

I didn't really think any of us had a problem with making sure criminals can't buy guns.Quote:

I can understand annoyance with those.Quote:

- I'm restricted by the government as to how I can carry my gun
- I'm charged a fee by the government if I want to carry my gun in a certain way
Again, I agree. It's an illegal law, and needs to be rectified.Quote:
- I can't have certain guns because the government doesn't trust me
Again, that is free market, not because of the law.Quote:
- I have to pay an astronomically, artificially inflated price to own certain guns or accessories
Such as?Quote:
- I have to pay taxes non gun owners don't have to pay
Sticks and stonesQuote:
- I'm vilified by the media because I like guns
- etc, etc, etc...
I'm suggesting that by going on the offensive and volunteering to regulate ourselves, we can have laws passed by people who will be affected by it, people who know what they are talking about, versus some jackass half way across the country who is talking out of their ass and making laws over things they don't understand.Quote:
So you can take your additional "minor inconveniences"...somewhere else.
Besides...it's not like we're going to have any say on whether or not any particular anti-gun law is passed. Well, I guess we'll have a say...it's just nobody's listening or cares.
There WILL be anti gun legislation passed this year. I'm trying to limit it's negative effects on the law abiding.
