Um the left is much smarter than that. Do you believe that the other countries just handed their guns over?? No, the first instilled a very very liberal government, in schools and other aspects of human development(Social Programs) Therefore about 90% of the population is so brainwashed in to thinking from the left that they will gladly give up thier rights to self protection,(becuase the government will do it for us).quote:

Right. But nobody would be stupid enough to try to collect them all at once. Instead, they whittle away the freedom by banning one gun at a time. Every year the list of banned guns grows longer. Every year the "regulations" for gun owners increase in complexity. Eventually nobody has guns anymore. It's done gradually with little to no bloodshed.quote:

You are 100% right! It is a slow ongoing process. If it ever came down to it in the near future where the government went door to door for all guns they and us would have major problems but they are smarter then that! And every responsible Gun owner and even non gun owners who value their freedom and constitution should join the NRA!quote:

That's how it's been done in the past. Some states in the USA area already walking down this path. If it weren't for the NRA the confiscation would have been completed here in the USA just like it's already been done in other countries.
So what is unique about the USA is not that gun owners have more guts and are willing to fight... but rather that no other country had a civil rights organization like the NRA with such strong popular support.
It will never happen here in the USA as long as the NRA has widespread popular support. All responsible gun owners should be NRA members.
I still think you guys give the "government" (they) too much "credit" for being able to hatch come kind of conspiracy or secret long term goal about taking guns away etc.quote:

You are 100% Correct Sir. I am 58 years old and the fear mongers have beating this drum as long as I can remember. And the number of guns has doubled in the U.S. in the last 15 yearsquote:

I would think that Iraq's history proves that gun ownership will not stop a dirtbag from gaining power. Iraq has been one of the most armed nation in the world. Gunowner rights are given to use by the constitution are will be hard to take away. But its a great knee jerk cause to take attention away from the problem of PC and other crap that will undermine the other freedoms in the bill of rights. Also think about this, The NRA has the largest data base of gun owners, even larger than the Governments.
There are alot of well paid people (lobbyists are expensive) that make a good living out of scaring gunowners into thinking there rights and
priviledges are in danger. .
