2nd Amendment Repeal - Need Your Vote - Poll

[ROMEOHOTEL]

History would be on the side of those that calmly prepared. Starting with not listing the firearms you own in your interweb signature.

Those that seek Martyrdom will always find it but the backbone of a rebellion is the quiet individual who works diligently towards a goal.

What is rebellion but a determined effort to no longer succumb to a bloated government engorged on it's own lusts? Is that not what we see even today in the fact that non-politicians enjoy a large lead over the established 'career politicians' in the race to 2016? As you intimate, rebellion is not only at the point of a gun. Although, the ammo box carries it's own weight and is an effective tool when necessary. The belligerence of the offending parties - in this case, the general government - shall determine how the rebellion should go.

I think there is a third option. Civil disobedience. If all gun owners pled innocent to whatever crime it was to own prohibited firarms, it would be a total catastrophe for the legal system. Think about it. Millions of trials going on at the same time then mass encarceration of non violent people. It would totally break the system.

Then the system would allow such latitude for establishment of a tribunal where the people are no longer treated on an individual basis but tried in blocks. Regional courts finding hundreds of individuals felled by one verdict. Do not underestimate the swift retaliation of an oppressive power.

Most likely, if it comes to a battle rather than successful political withdrawal from the union, this will be the outcome. This is why I want people to seriously think about what they would ACTUALLY do, rather than what their egos are telling them to vote.

And again, bravado aside, fighting back and probably ending up dead for my efforts is EXACTLY what I will do. I've been under armed threat without the tools to resist before and I'll never be in that situation again. Ever. I'm not posturing, I'm not swashbuckling...I'm being deadly serious. I won't live in the U.S. that you describe. I will not live my life by the whim of our new benevolent overlords and I refuse to believe that others will either. I'll join whoever else shares my conviction and we'll fight for those convictions.

Don't get me wrong - I have absolutely no desire to see this happen and I have no illusions about the struggle being easy. I've been very fortunate over the years and have worked hard to make a comfortable life for myself and my wife. Yes, I'd be sacrificing all of that. But what real choice is there? Do I really believe what I claim to believe or am I just verbally masturbating? Am I who I say I am? If I really stand for something, shouldn't I really STAND for it, WORK for it, and if needed DIE for it?

Wouldn't be my first rodeo.
The last 10 years have created lots of combat veterans with extensive experience in insurgent warfare.
SWAT would think twice after they raided a couple of HBIEDs.

Boating accident anyone?

I took an oath to support and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

I don't recall anyone ever releasing me from that.

I envision a massed occupation of Wash. DC. Using the same percentages as during the 1st Revolutionary War, today's population would support a 9 million man show of force. No firearms on this round. Recalling the failed attempt of the 1923 Bonus Army, we could start today. Why wait until further force becomes necessary?

And it would be awesome if the march to the swamp started to steamroll in CA. What would you pay to see those pasty white soft skinned pols shat themselves?

[ROMEOHOTEL]

I don't know if any who voted are being less than genuine but in over 10 years of seeing polls on various forums, this is the first time I have seen a unanimous agreement. To me, it speaks volumes. Perhaps it is a reflection of a widespread deep contempt of a shameful government.

Couldnt have said it better. I honestly dont know if it would come to all out civil war we as citezens have yet to stand with a show of force thousands of open carrying folks standing. On the State Capitols streets. Like Bundy ranch showing we just are not going to take this
B.s. Anymore

Just a silly comment and not meant to be contriversal, but you do realize you are posting this poll on a gun forum, so you should not really be surprised with the responses or the poll results.

Unfortunately, though, there is a large, and growing number of people outside the firearm community that seriously think that the collective "we" would be much better without weapons - and for now, especially those nasty looking, evil, military, semi-automatic, made-for-war only weapons that are the most popular firearms sold today (long arms and handguns) - as a common sense first step.

Further, and knowing people who actually live in Australia, it only takes about a generation to reeducate the population that this is indeed the right way and the only way to go, and make civilian firearm ownership not only a non-issue, but like it never even happened in the past.

Again, your poll will be skewed given the audience.

Go back to your prison continent. You don't don't have Constitution protection we here do.

You can all fight back, but I guarantee you all that do, you wont survive. Be willing to accept death if you want to fight for your rights.

So what are you saying? Are you advocating that we just roll over? There are some things worth fighting for. You just have to decide if it is worth it.

This probably came up during or separation from our brothers from across the pond. There were a lot of them that considered it worth it, and there were a lot that didn't. Today likewise, there are probably a lot of people today that would consider it worth it.

I always caution people to be careful of what you want, because it might not be what you wanted. But at the same time, you eventually have to stand up for what you believe in, be it be good or bad.

This is not problematic. I wanted responses from gun enthusiasts...as to what they would actually do. Elites don't make a distinction between gun owners and enthusiasts. They think they can either gut or repeal the 2A and nothing more than a few hillbillies will resist. They are, as my hypothesis reflects, dead wrong. No pun intended.

Funny. The very act of posting this is, by definition, not myob.
