    Nonense.

    If the government decides you're a "domestic terrorist".....maybe b/c you own an EBR or too much ammo.....they can pull you in under the Patriot Act, seize your property, and imprison you indefinitely without counsel, trial, or any access to media to plead your case.
    No...please see the recent decision in the Supreme Court, Hamdan et al.

    And the best part? B/c you will likely never have a trial, no one can ever rule that the Act is un-Constitutional in the first place.
    Fantasy.

    Look, I'm all for surveillance of potential non-citizen terrorists, but to suspend the Bill of Rights for citizens is another thing entirely.
    No one has suspended the BoR, try again.

    Yet another meaningless quote taken out of context.

    Sorry for the rant. This is scenario is unlikely (but not impossible).

    JMO,

    And THIS is why it is hard to believe much of anything you read on the internet. You get some yahoo behind a keyboard making highly unlikely predictions based on zero actual evidence and stating is as a fact.

    I agree that an outright seizure of weapons is pretty unlikely - I'm not worried about that any time soon.

    Ban on new purchases? Almost a certainty at some point. But it's not going to take effect as Obamaessia walks off the stage at his innaugeration.

    "Fortunately" (sarcasm) the rest of the country is falling apart, and that gives those who are fortunate enough to still be employed (knock on wood) time to stock up some more.

    How much time? Anyone's guess.

    BOHICA.

    Let's not forget the words of Senator Feinstein:

    "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out-right ban, picking up every one of them... 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in,' I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here." (60 Minutes 1995).

    Anything is possible...

    This is the enemy. This is how they think.

    While I agree that a lot of the RINO's were not as supportive of 2A rights as a lot of people assumed they were, I'd have to disagree with that and call it an exaggeration.

    A large subset of the Dems have a permanent hard-on for gun control legislation, and they've already proven themselves more than willing to tread on much more controversial ground than simple gun control. At this point no one but Obama and his closest advisors really know what he thinks he can get passed.

    I seem to recall from my American History classes that "Good King George" attempted the same thing once upon a time....
    Wonder if "Good King O" studied the same history I did?

    I wouldn't. Bush flat out stated he would sign another AWB if it came before him. Maybe he was just playing his odds, but he stated it.

    And so who's the bigger idiot, the guy panic buying because of some allusion to an AWB, or the guy making sarcastic comments about the panic buyer's lack of preparation?

    These "what if" threads deserve the kind of pure sarcasm that I penned. They're moronic and wildly speculative, at best.

    At least markm got it.

    I think you are right. This is why I have been telling everyone to buy NFA weapons or form 1 their lowers.
