Something Fishy Here

I see Dianne Feinstein had a news conference and unveiled a new assault weapons ban with an array of evil black guns.
No doubt she had to bring out  her own personal stash for 'Show and Tell' because if you think about it how else would she get them, have you been in a gun shop lately and found an assortment like this? and who do you think would loan her these ? would you? 
No, these belong to her or her own personal security detail.
BTW, is this configuration even legal in California?

No Joke... The Real Reason.

I (and many others) have touched on this before but it bears repeating for those who either haven't heard or don't believe yet, the extreme left understands more than you think. We like to joke about liberals believing that a 'gun free zone' will protect them or thinking that if guns are illegal all criminals will turn them in. We try and point out how you can't punish law abiding people for crimes or potential crimes of others but they get all this, they understand it fully.
The socialists know that an armed person is a free person, they are a secure person, they are an in control person and they don't need government for their protection and security and this grates on them because they rely on government and want everyone else to as well. I am really going to step in it here but generally speaking liberals are not strong people at least not emotionally, not to say they don't have emotions but they don't stand on strong principles generally, they are not normally brave souls and have to fabricate their strength (John Kerry come to mind)
Think of people you know who are strong and have principles as opposed to those who are morally weak with almost no principles (Hollywood)
An interesting side note however is when Hollywood wants someone to play the part of a tough guy hero they get usually get someone who has that in their character like Chuck Norris, Tom Selleck, Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston, John Wayne etc.

This brings me to my point, Liberals and most politicians want control, they don't care if criminals still have guns because criminals don't want to remove them from power and they can put criminals in prison eventually. You see they want to rule over everything because they are god and know best. They want no opposition and if guns are outlawed or at least guns that threaten them then they have control and in the case of a ban if we don't give them up  then we are criminals as well and can be locked away in prison so either way they win, problem solved, this is why they don't care that gun control won't work because it works perfectly for their purposes. You see we think we can reason with them because we think they want to keep children safe or make the world a peaceful place and they will throw out stupid statements like, "we believe in the Second Amendment and don't want to remove your right to hunt or protect your home" because Bambi doesn't threaten them and dead criminals are one less headache for them but if your gun can legally leave your house with you then they are threatened.  Their ultimate goal is control and with control comes wealth and power.
That is the real reason for gun control and the EXACT reason the founding fathers wrote the Second Amendment.

Gun ban, what may happen.

There is lot of speculation as to what may happen if there is a gun ban or an all out confiscation or registration of weapons. For the record I really don't think confiscation is something we need to worry about this time around but registration may be a threat soon (I say may) I think the way it would work is they would require all guns be registered in the next 6 months (lets say) They would estimate half of the households have a gun which needs to be registered, my guess is at the end of the required deadline only about 10% of the sheeple  good citizens would have done so. This will cause them to realize that  overnight they have made 40% of the population felons so the next step will be to extend the registration period another 180 days (with a few threats added) and this will continue for up to a year  I would guess. In the meantime people like myself will be driving around with  fake AR15's in the back window of their trucks just to mess with the liberals limited brains.
Side Note: Full auto weapons were banned in 1934 but an Amnesty day was held as late as 1968

If it ever does get to the point of authorities going door to door it has been speculated and wondered if cops, military etc will go against the constitution and citizens and if they would refuse to uphold the law. I know a lot of cops and most are really good people and on our side. I think personnel assigned to go door to door (or whatever method they use) would not disobey an order directly. I think more than likely what would happen is an officer of some kind would show up at your door with a clipboard with your address on a list and say something like......"Sorry to bother you Mr Duke Sir but we have been assigned this stupid ahhh...task of checking for illegal guns, I am sure a fine upstanding citizen like yourself doesn't have any do you?" at which you respond "No sir" they then check the box marked 'compliant' and they move on. Even if they were required to look inside the house they may walk in the entrance, look at the ceiling and say "looks good to me"
It would be a daunting task to do this and I dare say not very pleasant and they would most likely not want a confrontation, I mean how would you like to be poor slob assigned to go into the rural back woods and mountains, miles from anywhere and do this. Some would never be seen again.
My personal opinion is this would be such a major headache and impossible task and cause such an underground economy that they would have NO control over it would end up like prohibition and be repealed.....But what do I know, the war on drugs has been successful so far and is fully under control.

Just so you know.

This may seem a little elementary to many of you but there is some misinformation out there about what the federal government knows about your guns and I thought I would throw this out in light of all the recent talk of a possible federal  gun registration.  

As of right now there is no way the federal government can go to a computer and pull up a list of your weapons regardless of where they were purchased and unless you live in a locale which requires you to register them like NY City for example no other government agency can either.
We all know private party purchases are fairly untraceable but some are unaware of what happens when you fill out a form 4473 to purchase from a firearms dealer.
When you fill out a 4473 it is background check to see if you are legally able to purchase and it does contain the serial number but when the gun store calls in to the State to get approval the State is NOT given the serial number and the form is NOT sent anywhere, it is filed at the gun shop and is required to be kept there. So here is how it works if that gun shows up in a crime. Lets say police recover a Smith & Wesson gun at a crime scene, the authorities go to S&W and ask for records of who they sold that gun to. They may say it was delivered to ABC wholesale in Atlanta, they then go to ABC and ask who they sold it to and they may have sold it to XYZ Guns in Houston Texas. When the authorities go to XYZ they go to their file cabinet and pull out the form and see you bought the gun......Busted.....However if for example you said "I needed rent money last month and sold it at a gun show" the trail is lost unless you happen to know who you sold it to. Furthermore you are not required to keep a record of that and everything is totally legal.
It is not legal to purchase a gun with the intent to walk out the door and resell it but you are totally legal if your car broke down the next day and you had to sell the gun it to get your car fixed.
I only mention this because people are afraid to buy from a dealer because the think someone is keeping a list. I myself prefer to buy private but if I find what I want I am quite comfortable doing so from a dealer as well and over the years I have bought and traded many times.

So to recap, if there is a gun ban or if you are required to register all your guns and if for example the government could dig enough to get a list of guns you have bought in the last 20 years (an almost impossible task for one individual let alone millions I may add) and if they were to stand at your door with that list and ask why did you not register them you could shrug you shoulders and say  "I'm sorry, I sold them all privately because I did not want the hassle of all this registration" then all is golden, just don't get caught lying about it that would not be cool and we all want to be cool.
Now that I think about it I might start selling my guns because I don't want the hassle either.

Gun Ban, My Gut Feeling.

There is a lot of talk out there of assault weapons bans coming back and that may well be the case but I will stick my neck out and weigh in with my thoughts.
 If it looks like the Clinton ban it will be fairly useless, the biggest pain with that ban was the hi-cap magazines, even though they weren't allowed to produce and import them they were still readily available  as long as you paid the high price. The other parts of the Clinton ban was threaded muzzles, bayonet lugs and adjustable/folding stocks all of which have zero bearing on the function of the weapon.

I have been reading about the Illinois proposed gun ban and even with a liberal state government it faces an up hill battle, why ? because regardless of what we think there are liberal gun owners. I have friends, acquaintances and even some family who would call themselves democrats but like to shoot or hunt and don't want to see their rights erode. You can walk into any crowded gun show or gun shop and see people who you strongly suspect would vote democrat. In 0bama's first term he had control of House and Senate and could have outright banned all weapons but he did not because there is no way he would have had the votes and he wanted to be re-elected which tells you they know it is a loosing issue.
                           So having said all that I don't think we will see a bill jammed through like the most recent 'fiscal cliff ' bill because they are not up against the clock on this issue and I am sure there will be plenty of debate. You also have to factor in the NRA which is a huge and powerful lobby group who many Democrat and Republicans are afraid of.
I would not be overly surprised if they fail to get anything passed. If I had speculate on a bill that does get passed I think it would include the so called 'gun show loophole' which means private sales would be subject to a background check and maybe a hi-cap magazine ban and maybe parts of the Clinton ban.
While any ban or law is against the Second Amendment I personally don't see an all out ban or registration this time around, it surely will come at some point I think which is why if you were caught sleeping this time you should not let it sneak up on you in the future.

So, I may be totally out to lunch on this one...... What do you think ?
