Gun confiscation is historically followed by genocide against the disarmed;
America’s founders knew this truth, having defeated tyranny with their muskets,
they gave us the 2ND Ammendment for a time such as today.

You don’t really pay close attention to Glenn. Do you realize that advocating violence to otherthrow the government is a crime. However, we get to have a peaceful revolution every couple of years – it’s called voting. Now a funny thing is, the Declaration of Independence. The second paragraph is pretty informative. Here it is – “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

Even though it talks about the people abolishing a government that has failed them, it points out the hardships that arise from such action and that the cure may be worse then disease until it is cured. This was a peaceful declaration separating the US form England. The war began because the King sent troops to secure the weapons. Let us hope, there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

Actually the highest law enforcement officer is the individual. When you find yourself called to jury duty, go. Do your best to get picked. Then follow the constitution (not federal, state or local laws) when deciding guilt. You want to win on any issue, just acquit anyone that is charged with violating liberal agendas that have been made law.

I was lying? I never said, “that anyone can just walk into a gun store and buy an “assault rifle, I was saying that its was legal to purchase and own an assault rifle in some states, though one can get the weapon through different means besides just walking into a gun store. I was not the one saying it was illegal for any citizen to own and have possession of an assault rifle, which now it seems you have seemed to completely bail from that argument. Yeah I left out the part where libertarians are “supposed” to be constitutional fundamentalists but I did not need to mention it because anyone who subscribes to any political ideology seems to deem themselves “constitutional fundamentalists” so its was superfluous to state, until now that is. So I am a complete idiot because I left out that part and told you, in a nutshell, what libertarian ideology is, was not aware of the definition of an assault rifle; which you told me the definition of, so I don’t see why I would still be ignorant of the proper term of an “assault rifle” unless you completely lied to me, and because I lean to the left? Well shit I must be so stupid for rendering you original argument of it not being allowed to purchase an assault rifle anywhere wrong. Sorry bro but I don’t read the Huffington Post so i’m not going back to it.

Our local Sheriff was asking his officers last week whether they would willingly participate in a gun seizure from the citizens if the federal government enacted a gun control measure requiring it… The officer that told us about this responded with, “hell no, don’t (expletive removed) ask me to do that!” however, the fact that they are asking this question of our local law enforcement tells me that the works are already in place to do this. Our military, foreign military, local law enforcement have trained for just this scenario.

First, you seemed to miss the point on the definition of an “Assault Rifle,” imagine that. Second, an “Assault Rifle” requires a “collector’s permit,” something you could never afford. Third, morons like you saying that anyone can just walk into a gun a store and buy an “Assault Rifle” is pure B S. So, continue lying because that’s all you have.

You think you told me the definition of a Libertarian, but since I have been one for 15 years or more, I doubt I need a dolt like you to tell me what one is, since I am living, breathing proof. I see you missed the most important part of Libertarianism, being a Constitutional fundamentalist, which relating to this gun control crap, there should be NO laws restricting guns. Never mind that though, that doesn’t fit into your stupidity.

So, let’s recount, you think you know the definition of an “Assault Rifle,” but don’t. You conveniently leave out the MOST part of Libertarianism and give some B S you looked up on the internet as an answer, proving you know nothing about it. Then attempt to throw the exact quote I used back at me. Yep, you are a moron. The only thing you have correct is you are a left wing dolt, then again, we really didn’t need any confirmation. One only needs to look at the drivel that drops out of your pie hole to know that.

Go back to the Huff Puff Post.

Hey dipshit you contradicted yourself. Claiming that individuals can’t legally own “assault rifles” in its own definition, then going around and giving me a lesson how I can legally own one. “Taking possession of such weapons requires paying a $200 federal transfer tax and submitting to an FBI background check, including ten-print fingerprints[24].” You are a fucking idiot. To add on, I tell you the basic definition of libertarianism and you berate me with insults and nothing but? Sounds like a defined it fine but you just don’t want to admit that a liberal answered correctly.

We need to fight Obama at the State and County level. States need to put severe personal penalties on violating the Constitution (specifically the 1st and 2nd Amendments) and the State’s Constitution.

States should empower and encourage Sheriffs to deputize large numbers of people (call out the militia) to defend against attempts to violate the Constitution.
