Time to repeal the Second Amendment?

Um... Why do they keep saying machine guns are illegal? I understand some don't like guns... But when they start talking about the laws like they have a clue when they don't it really is annoying.

Because as far as they are concerned they were banned in the 1930s. Doubly banned in 1986.
(If you cannot get them after a freaking year wait they are effectively banned)

Next thing to do is. "Mr. and Mrs. America... turn them all in."

The only silver lining in this is she's one of the few to acknowledge that this is what it would take to achieve their goal legally. As opposed to the current strategy of judges and politicians simply ignoring Heller/McDonald.

I wonder if she thought if we repeal the 2nd, we'll also have to repeal the 4th so the gov't can enter homes to confiscate guns. The thing that pisses me off the most is the statement that we "tolerate" gun violence. I sure as hell wouldn't tolerate someone shooting up a school or a movie theatre!

That's why for most of us on this forum, if we're there when it happens, it will turn into a 2 way shoot...

They wouldn't come house to house initially. They would let you turn them in like in England. Then when crime goes sky high they would arrest those that used the guns to protect themselves from home invaders. Then when people were to afraid to use them against the criminal element then there might be door to door searches. This could take years to finish but they have been trying to get the ball rolling on confiscation for 50 years they can wait us out. Freedom requires eternal vigilance though.

...and when 5 million armed citizens show up in DC, what happens then?

It's a catch 22 I think. When people talk about banning guns, they look to the law abiding. They have law abiding people on to debate with gun grabbers on tv shows, etc. No one points to the crime ridden ghettos and suggests we should start grabbing guns there. Nor do they grab a person from that neighborhood and invite them onto their show to debate a gun grabber. That section of society seems to be ignored as a lost cause because those people KNOW what will happen if they approach that section of society. Law abiding people and sections of society are safe to pick on and confront because they are law abiding in the first place. Think of it like general "gang violence." Media high lights victims, then turns to police and psychologists for answers. No one is out confronting gang members though are they?

Puts us in a tough position. That treatment could change real quick, but at what cost. No one I know would want to be grouped into that "lost cause" section of the population.
