Fool. 270 million firearms, 3 million National Firearms Act Registered weapons. 50% of Americans own firearms. Add to that the advantage of knowing where the military is and them not knowing where you are, not to mention there are less than a million of them, and you would have a recipe for a bloodbath.....and not the way he thinks.

What about mass defection? I can't imagine American soldiers carrying out orders to seize weapons from Americans if they didn't comply with some rich politicians dream to disarm the populace. Come at me Obama, because you and the suits can come get them, bro. Never gonna happen that way.

They're going to take our guns through disinformation over time in my opinion. PS.com should have its own TV network, so Americans can learn from the best America has, rather than a liberal controlled media.

I apologize but I'm going to go OT for a minute to prove a point. I sent an email to foxnews (Bill OReilly) several weeks ago, detailing a problem the California National Guard created by 'overpaying' soldiers. Close to 100 million dollars was 'overpayed' and the soldiers are being told they may have to pay their enlistment bonuses back! As far as I can tell, foxnews never aired it. The local news covered the story, but this needs national attention. The one outlet I bet would air it, hasn't. Americans sit hypnotized, impatiently waiting for the next wave of worthless gossip, and that indifference will cost us our freedom.

Like your avatar says, there are many that feel the same.

Just remember there are plenty working with and for the 'fools', many whom you'd never guess. Others you think are, aren't; not willingly. The data and patterns computers and other high grade hardware generate doesn't lie. It's there if you look.

The truth is good and always comes out eventually, many sheep are starting to realize it; at least parts of it...

And hey, you got Indiana Jones on your side, just keep him away from the liquor cabinet - he looks funny otherwise :D

That is alot of Rem 742/762-based deer rifles as well as bolt guns if the one that can be in the chamber is counted.

So anytime someone says "we're not after grampa's deer rifle" take appropriate action and, only then, call the paramedics. Maybe.

Commies.

Can you elaborate?

I hope there's a silver lining but I believe our society is too dependent to become disenchanted with 'hand out' government. Like others have said, a large percentage of our population has a 'what can you do for me now' mentality, but all good things must come to an end. I don't think a large portion of our population would understand the truth if it hit them in the face, and if they did, I don't think they would care until it affected their quality of life.

Sorry, no. Use your judgement. If you're in Phoenix in the future pm me.

From a 'very limited' perspective look at some of the big internet companies, which one is and has been making it consistently difficult for the 'fools' to gather data; which one(s) do you hear crickets or slight rumbles from? Which one stands to lose the most from pissing off the 'fools'? You should have one or maybe two good company(s) and one big bad one in your answer.

Agree, that's why I said partly...common sense and going by what folks do and not what they say (or how they say it) are not that common. Neither is knowing history as several of the QP's have pointed out. The Affordable Care Act has and definitely will wake up 'some' of the dumber ones or those too wrapped up in themselves.

I try to be hopeful that our exceptional country will wake up despite all those with clouded judgments in Washington and else where.

...but yeah, they ain't gettin' my firearms regardless of how many rounds they can hold. The morons missed the whole point of the Second Amendment. Hunting rifles back then weren't military weapons they just shot straighter.

Beautiful example of clouded as well as self serving logic - lack of character, diginity, honesty, and few other things.

Frankly I don't know how they like what they see in the mirror.

Again, in Arizona if you have a CCW permit there is no NICS Background Check. Add another 500k to those numbers. ;) 6 of those purchases are mine......:munchin

A video and an article on recent gun control research.

Study: Gun control laws do not reduce violent crime

Jan. 06, 2014 - 7:24 - Professor Mark Gius explains research
Fox News vid at link below

More gun laws, more murder? Quinnipiac prof’s study suggests it
By Joe Amarante, New Haven Register

Days after a new Connecticut gun-control law spurred long lines of people trying to register firearms deemed to be “assault weapons,” a study from a Quinnipiac University professor has found that bans on assault weapons on the state level had no significant effect on murder rates around the country. And it also found that states with more restrictive concealed weapons laws had higher gun-related murder rates on average than states with less restricted concealed weapons.

But the study’s author says more research is needed on the issue before lawmakers run with its conclusions.

Mark Gius, an economics professor at Quinnipiac for two decades, admitted he was a little bit flabbergasted Monday at the response his study has been getting since it was published in the November issue of the academic journal, “Applied Economics Letters.” He had just returned Monday afternoon from Hartford, where he appeared in a segment on Fox News Channel about the study.

“I’ve actually done other research on gun control and gun ownership,” Gius said. “So it’s kind of amazing that, for some reason, this article really took off.”

Gius, a 51-year-old Democrat, said economics professors often do research on policy issues and laws on crime and guns “to see if they have the desired impact.” His topic was his own idea, not funded by any company, he said. But he said he’s half-regretting it, given the number of media people who want to talk about it.
