Surrender your firearms
 

If a law was passed that you had to surrender your firearms, how would you handle the situation. Would you just give them up, or would you fight for your right to keep them? Just curious, I think I would have to stand up and fight to keep mine and I feel alot of others would do the same. The law probably wouldn't last to long in my opinion.

You guys have been watching too many movies. Even if a well armed highly under trained and unorganized militia could stand up to the goverment's well trained and highly technological military you'd still have to consider what they'd do to your family once they found out you were involved.

It wouldn't happen anyway.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

They can have all my guns, but I will let them have the ammo first, one bullet at a time.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Exactly, sold them so you would at least get somthing from them;)

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Thats the spirit!!

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

I would die protecting them. as would my whole family and probably 90% of the people in the area I live. That freedom is one worth fighting for.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

If they want them, they can buy them. That pricetag is gonna be a shocker.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

You won't have to worry about them being taken away if you don't vote for olblama.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

donated all the firearms that used to be in my house to the goodwill. Since they were purchased before the required paperwork then I would have to say that I never owned any.....................

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

This will never happen.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

you're damned right i did. i figured i would get something for them instead of give them away free.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

First of all, this will never happen in anyone on this forum's lifetime. I'm sick of hearing uninformed people say that Obama is going to "Take our guns away" if elected. It simply won't happen. He can't just decide one day that he wants to ban guns and it just happens. There's a lot of other really important people that also need to sign off on that before it would even get a peek atseeing thelight of day. And there'll never be that many people who agree to take a huge steaming pile of dung on the 2nd Ammendment of the Constitution.

But (hypothetically) if it were to happen, I would stand in the picket lines with all the other gun owners and protest. I would not, however, die trying to defend my right to bear arms. What good would I be to my wife and daughter if I was dead.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

It already has in California in all of our lifetimes if you happened to be an owner of a semiauto with the wrong features. What makes you think that if the democrats picked up enough congressional seats to get a lock on the senate and house that Obama wouldn't gleefully sign every piece of crap gun ban that was sent to his desk?

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

You sound like a big old sissy! I used sissy because what I wanted to say would have been marked out anyway. How many AMERICANS do you think have died in the past to protect your dumbass and protect your right to bear arms. Wake the @#$% up! ARE YOU FRENCH BY ANY CHANCE?!!:eek:

EDIT-WHAT GOOD ARE YOU TO YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER IF THEY KNOW YOU HAVE NO BACKBONE???

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Oh No, it could never happen here. Keep believing that crap. One more liberal judge will get it rolling since we won the last second amendment case by one vote. Had Bush not appointed two pro gun judges, we would have lost that fight. osama will not appoint pro-gun judges. He will also probably have a veto proof majority in both houses of congress. Wake up now before it's to late.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Armed insurrection...

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

They would probably try a gun buyback program like some bigger cities have done before they would ever start confiscating. You would be surprised how many of these so called 2nd amendment supporters bring in guns to these no questions asked cash buyouts. In fact most of the guns that are brought in are by people who never used them in crimes and probably never would have. In NYC they recently gave you $200 for any working firearm. You would be amazed how many old cheap .22 rifles were brought in for that price. No way they would have ever sold them for such a price to anyone privately, so these gunowners made out like bandits. Money talks as we all know and plenty of people would take the bait!

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Heck, for $200 eachI have a couple of old .22 revolvers they could have. That would help buy a 1911 .45 of some type.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

$200 for a $1000+ gun. hell no!!!!

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Swthomas-you are sadly VERY misinformed-Soon after bill clinton took over office and appointed janet reno,ALL FFL holders got a newsletter/ruling update from batf (this was the days before it was batfe) stating that the street sweeper,spas 12,among about a dozen other legal firearms had been DEEMED as "having no sporting purpose" and were therefore banned from regular ownership. This meant that all owners of these firearms HAD to be specially registered as "aow" same way as supressors,shortbarreled rifles&shotguns,etc before the alloted amount of days for grace period expired. Soon afterward,I was "visited" by batf agents for an "routine" record check. During this check,they paid particular attention on any firearms on that list and recorded any and all information from the 4473 buyer forms. That was illegal in itself. Also the fact that there had been NO passage thru congress or senate of any bill that would've birthed that ruling/law. This is EASILY looked up as is any new law that goes into effect is public record. I researched and there was NO federal bill regarding this ruling change. Again-these "newsletters are sent to ALL ffl holders and I save each and every 1. That PROVES that yes indeed-it CAN happen! I STILL have that letter from batf in my files if you doubt me-as can any other ffl holder during that time can attest to as well. Wether or not these firearms were much different than others or had "sporting purpose" had no bearing. That ruling,as was the recording of information directly obtained from buyer forms(4473s), was CLEARLY illegal! Please know what you are talking about and be well informed before assuming things like that.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

so what if it never happens in our life time, they can tax the weapons and the ammo so high that the average Joe can't afford it.

The ammo that I shoot has gone up $20 over the past three years. When will it stop?

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

There are still quite a few guns owned that aren't in the records yet. Enough to arm a small militia until "adequate" firepower could be obtained.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

I sold mine to Bill Shatner.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Well....I would bury the ones that are not registered to me for my Son to have when he gets older. As for the ones that are registered to me, The goverment can have them when I run out of ammo!

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

If it's a forced buyback, then $200 isn't going to cut it. Better bring a few more zeroes. I'm not letting them go cheap. Gotta be enough to pay for moving to another country.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

I remember about 15 years or so back that louisville inplemented a gun buyback program. They were(to best of my memory) offering either 100$ or 150$. I thought this was a great chance to make some quick cash and rub they're noses in it so I ordered 50 ravens which at that time were wholesaling for around 25$ or 30$. according to THEIR rules they HAD to pay that cash for every working firearm. Yall should have seen their faces when I made them fill out the 4473s and handed them new ravens still in boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also told every other dealer/smith about it so they could cash in on it too. Soon after that,they decided to discontinue the program.:D:D:D

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

That's awesome stalkingbear.
I'll remember that one should something like that ever happen inmy neighborhood.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

A prominent Medical Dr. in Montgomery told my sister that she should convert every thing she has into cash and put it into an offshore account. Also be ready to flee this country at a moments notice.
It seems that some well to do professionals are taking this situation very seriously, so I think we all should to!
I would likely choose to stay and fight rather than run and hide, even at my age.
My father would turn over in his grave if I refused to stand up for what I believe in and that includes this country and the second amendment.
As an after thought, when this problem is past into history, if we are still a free nation and not a group of subjects we need to get some laws passed that would prevent our so called free press from becoming a propaganda machine controlled by special interest. They have did us all a terible unjustice and it is unforgivable!

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

Well, being that I serve in your United States Marine Corps, I know probably better than you how many people have died defending your freedom and mine douche bag.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

One way to possibly avoid that rediculous idea it to NOT vote for Barck Hussein Obama!!!

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

I totally agree. Even though I still don't think he'll take our guns away.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

SWThomas... Are you by chance from Michigan?

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

He might not take all guns away if he manages to get elected on Tuesday but he is most definitely in favor of banning a large number of guns people purchase today such as hand guns and semi automatics because those aren't considered to him as necessary for hunting purposes. He also wants to propose much stricter laws on background checks where you will have to wait a longer period of time after you fill out all the info before you can ever actually get the gun in your hands. I also see them limiting the number of guns you can purchase, especially in a certain period of time. Obama was voted as the most liberal democrat in office in 2007. This is a man that is 100% for giving full rights to young women to abort and kill babies for absolutely any reason at all during any period of pregnancy yet he feels it's gun rights which are presented in the constitution that need to be changed and taken away from. You guys just think they can't ever possibly do anything like take away your guns but your going to find out differently when you put men into power that are completely opposite on the views you believe in.

The conservation is even already taking away the rights of the landowner and doing things people a hundred years ago never thought could possibly happen. If you have a river that runs through your property the conservation owns that river and can tell you what you can and cannot do in it. That wasn't even conceivable a hundred or more years ago. This morning on the news they even said the conversation is going to start making the land owner purchase their deer tags just like everybody else if they can get it passed. That means your going to have to pay to kill the deer that fed and lived on your property all year long! You think the government can't start taking away more of your gun rights with the wrong man in power? I think anyone that believes that is just ignorant to the reality of whats taking place today.

Obama supporters spout off a lot of BS because they hang on every word the man says as though it were actually the truth but they never stop to actually look at the facts and the past history of this man. They want to just ignore the past and think he's somehow some kind of a new man now starting in 2008 because they're hung up on the word "change". Right now he's telling people what they want to hear in order to get the votes from the majority. You'll see a different man if he gets elected than what you see now because he's still the same man that voted for all the things he did as a state senator and he's still the same man that spent all those years of his life being taught and influenced by extremely radical black supremacists.

You can take a look here at how Barrack Obama already voted on gun laws:

If you want to keep your guns and preserve your rights you all better grow a set and stand up for those rights and get out and vote for McCain on Tuesday. And you better take everybody you know with you too and make them vote McCain as well because this is the most critical election in any of our lifetimes because of who's running.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

I will fight for my right to carry guns. The Constitution is more powerful than any law, government agency, or president.

RE: Surrender your firearms
 

I'd say that was a very good return on your investment......
