…you can bet your last bullet on it. This new leadership in the House, Senate and White House led by President Obama and his Attorney General, Eric Holder will go the “extra mile” in doing what they’ve been delayed in doing for the last few years—control as many guns in as many ways as they can—it’s coming.
So don’t think for a minute that the Heller decision by
the Supreme Court last year finally settled the Second Amendment controversy.
Immediately after that decision came down in favor of Heller, the D.C.
government went into over drive throwing impediments in the way of legitimate
gun owners by saying, OK, you have a right to keep and bear arms but here are
the hoops you must jump through to get your permit.
The hoops were designed to be so onerous that stringent gun control was
still very much alive in our nation’s capital.
The Democrats, now in power at the national level, will reach for even
greater heights and it won’t be long until I can foresee an attempt to apply
the
It will start out slowly perhaps with “common sense”
gun legislation that re-implements the assault weapons ban.
They will then add weapons and magazines to the banned list possibly
increase taxes on components then likely at some point will come the gun
registration laws. Many will be
suckered into this tripe because the media, as they did for Obama during the
campaign, will eagerly paint the picture that most Americans will see and
swallow. Their line may go
something like, “There are so many guns in
How might all this come about?
I can think of at least one example.
Let’s say terrorists plan to test the new President as predicted by his
Vice President, Joe Biden and they launch another significant attack. Obama
declares a national emergency giving him more latitude for action than in
ordinary times. He tells
They’ll simply use a crisis to initiate more gun control
and sell it to
How do we prevent it?
Forceful, uncompromising
resolve in large coordinated numbers focused against those in power.
“We the People” must stand united and coordinated in our efforts to
retain this unalienable right or it will be history. As I’ve written before,
the NRA,
Gun organizations and gun makers should be strongly encouraged to merge their resources and efforts in this cause now and initiate a coordinated attack to sustain our rights. Notice I used the word “attack” not “defense” because a spirited, well planned and coordinated offense of extreme pressure is exactly what it will take. The prevent defense is not a reliable path to victory either on a football field or on a political battlefield.
If left to the individual level the protest/resistance will
fail. Individuals taking
independent/piecemeal action just cannot mount the irresistible force needed to
overcome the assault on our guns and could find themselves prosecuted for their
trouble. It will take an NRA,
If
“They
tell us…that we are weak – unable to cope with so formidable an adversary.
But when shall we be stronger? Will it be when we are totally disarmed…Three
million people, armed in the holy cause of liberty…are invincible by any force
which our enemy can send against us.”
I’ve been in contact with members of the SASS Wild Bunch
regarding a massive email action I had in mind.
Over the years, I’ve been encouraged by the WB’s pro-active outlook
and their activities on a number of fronts in helping to preserve our gun rights
so I wasn’t surprised at all when this idea got an enthusiastic thumbs up.
We’re asking SASS members to email the NRA,
To get the ball rolling, I suggest one of the major gun organizations (NRA, GOA SAF or JPFO) take the lead in organizing an initial tele-conference among all the main organizations with the objective of beginning the preliminary planning process for such a joint effort.
In that regard, I’ve drafted an email that includes the appropriate addresses for NRA, GAO, SAF, JPFO as well as major gun manufacturers and posted it on my archive page located at: http://mddall.com/sbss/archives.htm Click on “Combine Your Efforts Email” on that page then simply add your name and email address in the boxes at the top and hit the submit button at the bottom.
Finally, keep a polite but forceful anti-gun control message to your congressman and both senators in your email file. Then every week pull it up and hit the send button.
As Patrick Henry told us long ago, when millions of people are armed [united] in such a holy cause of liberty, we are [and will be] invincible. It’s the only way we’ll win in my view and there’s too much at risk to do otherwise.
Just
the view from my saddle…
