Other countries want to disarm US, rest of world

[solareclipse]

Cliffs: The UN wants to make it easier and less dangerous to oppress their citizens which will be the next step.. if they could only first disarm those pesky armed people though...

The creators of the UN will cry if they could see what it has evolved into.

Come and get 'em. We'll see how effective the .308 is on kevlar and blue helmets.

 

[solareclipse]

like knife through butter but what is of concern is that 50 cal about to punch a hole through your wall...

reality is that people can't resist. if this was not the case, then none of the previous disarmaments in history would have been so easy.

Israel's ban on small arms

Anyone else see this in the news a few days ago? I think they restricted firearms somewhere in Israel--for the purposes of making people more manageable (trying to move some settlers out, IIRC).

It was the first time in my lifetime I have seen gun control for what it is--people control. I know the histories of other nations who did the same thing, but this incident made it really clear to me.

Britian is behind the big EU disarmament push.

I'd like to see them try.

Yeah, because it worked so well for them.

Bart Roberts +2, with the addition that it's an open question whether in that case the legislature would be contravening the will of the people, or whether most of the people have lost what Scalia terms "societies abiding belief" in the value of an armed citizenry.

This loss of abiding belief is entirely, chillingly possible. For evidence, count how many times you encounter the "it can't happen here" attitude, or "nobody needs XYZ evil gun", and so forth and so on. These are symptoms, not causes.

Fortunately, there's lots of evidence that plenty of Americans retain the abiding belief in the value of armed citizens, especially when we encounter reminders like Katrina and the Rodney King riots every 12 years or so.

When the S HTF, Americans don't go running to the cops. They go running to the gunshops.

Undoubtedly why Iraq is such a peaceful country today.

 

[Lupinus]

this is true.

For all the plane's and techknowlagy trying to control well armed people is still a bitch. And they don't even have access to all the civilian companies that produce thing's for the US force's and all other stuff American's would have access too.

how does that saying go...oh yea, i remember

"dont fire 'till you see the blue of their helmets"

You know, the whole AWB thing went over so well for those that got it in effect, and it was nowhere near as bad as this. I'd love to see what happens to any official that puts something like this in place.

Geek ya got it. Went by my favorite store Wednesday. They are selling handguns like hotcakes.

Everyone whines about the police. They (the media) should publicize the fact that the police have NO DUTY to protect you as an individual, by law. The media is dishonest and won't publicize that fact, and beats up the police whenever they can in my area.

It is up to us to get the word out...

The left has been trying this crub for years. If by some wild streatch of the imagination it happens. Just how would the left figure to enforce the treaty? Like we're just going to drop our heads and turn them in. Kinda of like the "War on drugs" or Phrobition or ..... hell, pick your crime. Not to mention the black market for firearms will sky rocket over night. So who will give a flip about NFA anymore. Talk about SHTF.
