Cold dead fingers, Really?

Let's be hypothetical for a moment. If Congress passed an amendment to the Constitution that made all firearms illegal starting 1/1/2014, I believe there would be a huge revolt and some sort of civil war. There would be non-compliance and bloodshed.

Congress cannot pass a constitutional amendment. It has to be ratified by the states.

Without taking us down the rabbit hole too far, I see no reason to believe that a government formed post some type of revolution would be something any of us would recognize or would give our sacred fortunes and lives for.

If the great men -- the Jeffersons, Washingtons, Adamses, etc. -- exist now to convene and usher in a new entity founded on the bedrock of personal liberty and constructed to be a sustainable government of the people, by the people, and for the people, where our own Constitution has failed...

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Agreed, 1000%. I've actually put a great deal of thought in to the "what happens next" part and it scares the hell out of me.

Take 20 random strangers - just look around next time you're at a fast food joint or standing in a line for something.

Now imagine you're debating how to re-form a country with those people.

Everyone has their own ideas. No one can agree on anything.

The fact that our founding fathers were able to not only UNITE all of the States, but hold them together in a fashion that has endured a couple of frigging centuries, ranks up there with one of the miraculous feats in human history.

The fact that the country fractured once, and was healed in it's original form without oppression, is also a stunning achievement.

Don't be so quick to throw all of that away over ONE thing.

Because what you get AFTER the fact, might be incredibly different from what you WANTED.

While we can still use our voices and votes, use them.

If it ever comes to force of arms... it might be better to be one of the early casualties. Because the aftermath, EITHER way, could be drastically different from anything you could possibly envision before-hand.

The George Washington's, Thomas Jefferson's are here. There are leaders just waiting in the wings.
If you think that actions and plans are not already in place or being finalized, you would be wrong.
If you think that this forum has not already been infiltrated. You are delusional at best.
They are watching already. Names have been taken and they mean business.

You best believe that we are on the edge of radicalism this very moment in time.

It's coming and it will be sooner that everyone thinks. Don't get caught out in the open when it does.

If any of you ever wondered why the Jews voluntarily boarded the trains to the death camps you have now been able to read some seven pages of rationalization for not making the overseers angry........

This.

No need to die in your front yard however.RESIST in other ways. There are thousands of ways to fight.

Completely unrelated but the Vietnamese didn't just send all troops charging against us, they had their regular Army but many engaged in guerrilla tactics, sabotage, espionage, communications, feeding the regular troops, etc. etc.

That's enough for this one.
