All of you make some really good points.The most immediate threat I would say is executive order,as was pointed out needs no Congressional approval and would be hard as hell to reverse.The Supreme Court justices are another very,very likely avenue to kill our freedom.There are 4 possible retiring justices upcoming in B.O's 4 year term.Precedent has been set regarding the second amendment individual rights case,but with a clear liberal majority all they would need is a case to be able to overturn and destroy the second amendment.
We don't need any Supreme court justices legislating the living document that is our nations foundation,out of existence.That is unacceptable,period.How can we prevent that?Damn good question.I don't think calling your congressman will cut it on that one.I don't think many Democrats would vote in a moderate,much less conservative S.C.justice.
There have been several rewrites(read much more encompassing version) of the original Clinton "crime bill".None of which they could get enough support for in Congress,but that was before last Tuesday.We loom ever so close to a supermajority that it sickens me to fathom the future of gun control initiatives.With that they will have much less trouble passing what the hard left wants.
You can bet you sweet ass they will have some kind of gun control bill on the floor within 6 months.They don't give a damn about priority of the economy,if the useless bastards did they wouldn't have let it happen to begin with.The Dem's with their clear majority can leverage to pass a bill the Republicans want.Will they cave in? Only time will tell.Is your freedom something you want to trust them with in the face of that kind of pressure?
I think registration may come first.They need a way to keep track of everything.Then private sales will be banned,because they don't want any "unregistered sales".This is basically an expansion of closing the so called "gun show loophole".Of course we all know they will never achieve total compliance,but that won't matter because if you don't comply,the weapon you don't report becomes illegal to posses,thus you can never sell it or use it to much degree without fear of being caught with it.
I know all this is pure speculation,but it all is possible under an Obama regime.Keep in mind the Aussies didn't think it would happen to them either,but when I see photos of mountains of firearms being sent to the crusher I am both enraged and deeply saddened.These were not just firearms,it's the story of people lives,their heritage,their history.
They are not mere possesions,they are grandads service rifle he brought home from the great war,they are dads old deer rifle he used to help keep us fed,uncles pistol he retired from the Border Patrol with.These objects of our affection represent not only who we are as a nation and the independent spirit that built it,but as individuals.They represent freedom,the tools of deliverance from tyranny.Even if it's just a romantic afterthought,they represent the hope that if it comes down to it,we can effect change.
Forgive my emotional rant,I love my country,as I'm sure you all do.I can't bear the thought of where it's heading,it disturbs me deeply.
