Re: Hand over your weapons
Good points. Two other motivating factors that will entice police to embark on a gun collecting mission is overtime pay and they get to play SWAT member. Currently even in small town police departments AR 15s and other tactical weapons are the norm and in addition a lot of regular police officers have tactical equipment that was traditionally only offered to tactical units. That, couple with younger members looking for action, the idea that the majority of police will disobey an order to collect civil weapons doesn’t seem likely. There is a regulation banning the confiscation of arm during an emergency in the PA crime code 6107. However that law has some exceptions to it and I don’t know if it covers a federal declared emergency/martial law or could the Governor or AG override it with an executive order during an emergency.
One point I like to make on the Boston Marathon search is I understand this happened suddenly and the residents were unprepared to take up arms against the police. Most probably didn’t own any being that Boston is a liberal haven. However, after the fact no one appeared to protest /complain about the police searching tactics. It seems like liberals cherish the fourth amendment just as much as the 2nd amendment.

Re: Hand over your weapons
Those are good points.
I agree, a simultaneous nationwide confiscation just isnt possible.
They could slowly chip away city by city, town by town.
Whatever is left in the rural areas they make laws landing people in jail for years and complete asset forfeiture if found with "an evil assault rifle" .
For instance, in England its a mandatory 5 years in prison if found with an illegal firearm. Could be a bolt action, its still 5 years in jail.
I hope were wrong about all this, I really do.
But complete control is the end goal.

Re: Hand over your weapons
How far we've slipped down that slippery slope.
Mass. has gone from Col. Wm. Prescott's, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes." to illegal gun confiscation.
Hitler, Mao, Obama, Bloomberg, Stalin, Pol Pot and Hillary should be proud.

Re: Hand over your weapons
The slippery slope could also refer to more recent times. Last year this forum had numerous threads containing "laundry Lists" of gun rights will would be getting under the Trump administration and a GOP control congress. Now the threads are about deflecting another "assault weapons ban" and the bump stock ban. Legislation that removes sound suppressors from the NFA and allow nationwide carry reciprocity appear to be off the table and is a distant memory.

Re: Hand over your weapons
The first few attempts to collect might go pretty smooth and be effortless. As the word gets around and it will...the amount of energy and resouces to carry out a confiscation will prove to be too much and too bloody. Divide and conquer will be their stealth approach, but like I said, once out of the bag...the retaliation will be swift and painful.

Re: Hand over your weapons
They may whittle away like they have with AWBans,High Cap mags and so forth. But I really don’t see a mass confiscation taking place. They know that if they go that far they’ve opened Pendoras box! I really don’t think they’re that stupid but you never know?
I don’t think I’m going to see it in my lifetime if they do try.

Re: Hand over your weapons
it is sad how weak the R's are, with control of the house and senate. shows how many RINO's there really are. especially every time an anti-gun bill comes out and is immediately laden with R co-sponsors.
we need to call and harass them more and everyone needs to get every R they know out to vote come 2018, can't sit idly back and expect things to fix themselves.
btw, when was the last time a bill fell 6 co-sponsors short of passing a damn vote, without ever landing on a calendar or getting onto the floor for a vote?
seeing these old anti-gun laws that passed with 2-20 co-sponsors yet went to vote and passed, sickens me.
and if all else fails, in the words of alex jones.
and i fully agree, if it's time to hide 'em, it's time to use 'em.There is no way to make it out alive...

Re: Hand over your weapons
If/when they send the "authorities" to confiscate, and should "we" decide to take a stand - remember to go after those who sent the "authorities".

Hidden shit, mine are well oiled, magazines loaded, ready to go.
In response to ricochet's post, we would send the kids out, once they are safe, molon labe. Yep, I know i'd lose the battle...eventually, but I'm dying on my feet, not living on my knees.
A five gallon bucket of marbles ready to be knocked over in front of entryways is a good way to get people all jammed up if they come through your door stacked.
Many many more tricks out there, I 'm prepared and willing.Go sell crazy some where else, we're all stocked up here.
