Some of us are old enough that the threat of jail or death doesn't scare us..This will happen here too. And we will all turn them in. At least I'm honest.

You know......20 years ago I thought this was just "tough talk" and I'd chuckle when guys said it and thought to myself "yeah we talk tough......until there are a dozen armed men wearing body armor surrounding my house and we will all cave in and submit"......now.....complete 180. I'm 50.......lived more than half my life span already (3/4 of it at least)......I've done my share.......if it ever comes to confiscation I'm going down on a bed of freshly fired brass and shells. I know I'd never "win" that fight but I bet I'd be able to put 1 or 2 down before they breach my door. Think about that.....How many standoffs would it take losing 1 or 2 before the gov realizes it ain't worth it.Speak for yourself. I'm not turning in shit, ever.
f***. You beat me to it!Some of us are old enough that the threat of jail or death doesn't scare us..![]()
Who buys guns legally in mexico? Like 10 ppl? I wonder what the police bribe vs illegal carry cost is.... probably a better deal vs canada.![]()
Do you honestly believe that?
Do you realize there are millions of AR15's alone in the hands of Americans, let alone hunting rifles?
There is no possible way they could enforce a gun grab like that, they don't have the recourses or the stomach for that type of bullshit, not to mention some states would tell the government to F'K off let alone most gun owners

I absolutely do believe it. I believe that all of the pressure of the global left is on the politicians in this country to do just this at whatever cost. And I believe that similar to 1930s Germany we are in the period of time where the government is waging a psychological operation to make the target of their attack look like the greatest evil to everyone else, so that when they do make their move, there is little shock and little empathy for us from everyone else.
I realize the number of AR15s. I don't think it is relevant.
I don't agree that they don't have the resources or the stomach to do it. I think if we look at the amount of violence and destruction that the political left was willing to go out and do over the last 2 years, and that the political left is transforming our military in such a way that real patriots are being weeded out and turned off from joining, and conformists to the leftest's agenda are being recruited and promoted to high ranks, its easy to imagine them being capable of this. On top of that, they don't believe that there will be a legitimate resistance. And when I look at what they've gotten away with over the past couple years, all the human rights violations, all of the intrustions on people's rights that hasn't been met with resistance. I don't think it will be met with resistance this time either.
Same reason so many of us marched down to get an injection we didn’t want. When it’s that or watching your kids starve, most of us are not going to pick watch their kids starve or have their kids be raised by a commie because they decided not to hand them over.You'll turn them in happily.
When .gov won't let you access your bank account, or throttles it so you can take out say, $200/week you'll line up at the local pd.
When you can't board a plane or go to a concert, Celtics/Bruins/Pat's game, you'll provide the key code to your safe.
When your connected thermostat, that everyone in the deals thread has a hard-on over, won't go above 64, your wife will grant access.
No one needs to come get your guns.
Sandy Hook - no changes federally. But roughly a quarter million Connecticucks who didn't register their ARs and 'high caps' are now shadow felons just waiting to get pinched over something else.A lot of apocalyptic views in this thread. But look at the record:
Sandy Hook: No changes
Las Vegas: Bump stock ban (which did not affect very many people)
Pulse nightclub: No changes
Uvalde: No changes
House is now Republican, Senate is very closely divided, Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority.
I'm trying to stay positive.

LOL. Yeah, they won't have to come get our guns. They will be real easy to find. Aimed right at them.You'll turn them in happily.

This. After the Waco disaster the gov said it ain’t worth it plus I think it was the FBI guy in charge that told the agents to back off at the Bundy ranch, we will handle it in the courts. Well, now we have Bruin and hopefully a lot more.You know......20 years ago I thought this was just "tough talk" and I'd chuckle when guys said it and thought to myself "yeah we talk tough......until there are a dozen armed men wearing body armor surrounding my house and we will all cave in and submit"......now.....complete 180.

Dude…What????? I know this ain’t a MA specific place but let’s look at your list..A lot of apocalyptic views in this thread. But look at the record:
Sandy Hook: No changes
Las Vegas: Bump stock ban (which did not affect very many people)
Pulse nightclub: No changes
Uvalde: No changes

Yup.This. After the Waco disaster the gov said it ain’t worth it plus I think it was the FBI guy in charge that told the agents to back off we will handle it in the courts. Well, now we have Bruin and hopefully a lot more.
Agreed. Once they completely disregard Bruen, Heller, Miller etc and take away our freedom of movement and banking…well, that’s prolly going to be time…But think of what happens to get to that point:
1. Laws pass to ban semi-automatic firearms with no grandfather clause
2. ATF seizes and databases 4473s from FFLs nationwide
3. Laws pass allowing freeze/seizure of bank accounts
4. Forcing credit card and payment services to collaborate on denial of services
5. Coordination of receipt of 500 million firearms and ammunition
By the time Step 2 is reached, the US has changed into a 1-party system across 3 branches of government.
Step 3 & 4 could be enacted but the ability to collect 100s of millions of firearms and turn financial access back on is coordination that would entail vast preparations. By then, we’d be flying the CRINK flag (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) and I’d have been shot long before.
I should have said "no changes" on the federal level and that is my oversight. You are absolutely right about state laws reacting to the incidents.Dude…What????? I know this ain’t a MA specific place but let’s look at your list..
Sandy Hook - Connecticut AWB and mag ban
Las Vegas - bump stocks and a pro freedom president trying to set a dangerous precedent like take guns first then due process
Pulse Nightclub - do we really have to go down this pre-Healey road…..
Uvalde - National red flag law
It’s not apacolyptic but it’s nothing to be positive about![]()
We are at a point right now where almost every state is under attack. The anti’s know they can’t do shit federally so they have been hammering the states.I should have said "no changes" on the federal level and that is my oversight. You are absolutely right about state laws reacting to the incidents.
As a resident of MA I am already subjected to "the toughest gun laws in the country". My concern has always been MA-style gun control on a federal level and with all due respect I do not see that happening any time soon.

California agents seized 1,500 illegal guns in 2021 under landmark weapons database law
A unique California registry cross-matches databases to find people who legally purchased weapons but are now banned from ownership.www.visaliatimesdelta.com
California, where there is liberal license to pass more new gun laws yearly, spends $10s of millions annually to enforce their gun seizure laws, but manages only ~5% effectiveness. They run their databases of gun owners against databases of felons and other PPs and send out teams to collect guns. Their former AG said the unit’s annual budget would need to be $100s of millions to get the job done. And that’s just to collect guns from owners in their database that become PPs, or owners die, etc. - ~25k.
Confiscating gun from the entire populous will only happen after the US is unrecognizable as a Constitutional Republic.
As mentioned above they won't have to kick in our doors to confiscate our firearms, Fidel Trudeau has written the book which he has received from the CCP.Some of us are old enough that the threat of jail or death doesn't scare us..![]()
Get the f*** out of MA.
