With all do respect, what does a logically reasoning person such as your self believe the Fema camps (of which there are many) are for? I sincerely hope your response will take away the worries I have about the direction of this great country and the future of its concerned, tax paying, law abidding, gun owning citizens.

If the FEMA camps exist they would be camps used for emergency situations involving wide spread disaster. Nothing at all about taxes, guns, flu shots, or any of the other theories that have popped up over the years.

These are just a few threads found in a very quick search of the forums warning about the dangers of FEMA, how they're taking over, how they're going to round everyone up for flimsy reasons, etc etc etc. Going back years. And yet nothing has happened. Nothing remotely like it has happened. The claims that those who don't pay new taxes would be rounded up didn't happen, the idea that if you didn't get a swine flu vaccine you'd go to camps didn't happen, if you didn't vote one way off to the camps didn't happen, and their involvement in supposed new gun laws didn't happen. We get warnings about FEMA camps around here a few times every year and it turns out to be nothing but baseless fear.

Look If you have trouble getting weapons just contact Mr Holder at the Department of Justice. I heard he will hand out a gun to just about anybody.

Because if some idiot wants rock and roll on full auto he isn't going to hit crap so it's safer then if he fired on semi and he would run out of ammo quicker so the cops can just arrest him and he can become a tax burden to us law abiding citizens.

Years ago I was working part-time in a gunshop (lots of fun by the way) and the gunsmith brought out a pistol for a handful of us to look over. At first glance it was a German Luger, but there was something not quite correct. Looking closer revealed some absolutely amazing things. The tool marks that appear on the sides of the frame were not true circles, machine tools leave very good circles, they were actually hand engraved. The proof stampings and the serial numbers were also hand engraved. To really make it extraordinary was that there was no rifling in the barrel, completely smoothbore. The pistol was a hand made copy made by an Afghan tribesman some time in the 1950s or so.
Think about this for a moment. The Luger was one of the most complex and difficult firearms to construct, which was one of the reasons few armies used it - it cost too much. To make it today requires some 150 separate machine tool setups to build all of the parts. Doing this by hand with cutting stones, files, and similar must have been horrendous. The most amazing, the main spring is shaped like a V, and has to be tempered exactly correct or the firearm will simply not operate. The guy had it right.
So, at one time there was a likely poorly educated, but highly capable person working in a shop that did not have electric power (hence no rifling), who was willing to spend months duplicating scores of complicated steel parts, finishing and tempering the pieces, just to create a duplicate of an existing pistol.
The point of all of this is that it is impossible to uninvent something. The government can go out and steal every gun there is and not long following there will still be guns - even if we have to make them from scratch. By the way, making bullets, powder, primers, and casings is a snap compared to actually making the guns themselves.
Heck, just make the gunpowder and use it to get the guns back or take theirs...

If the military uses it, it is the most dumbed down technology available, and that is especially true for  the time when people were still drafted. Anything had to be so easy to use and maintain that anybody with an IQ slightly exceeding 80 could handle it.

As for the Afghan blacksmiths, they can build you anything if you bring them a sample, no matter how complicated the gun is. And for amazing prizes. When 'Stan is more or less peaceful they'll sell you an AK copy for less than $100. The Filipino back alley gunsmiths are just as good, though slightly more expensive.

At least I didn't resort to name calling. What's next, tattle-telling and nap time? Give me a break.

The Social security and department of homeland security ordered sooo much guns and ammo a few months ago, got to ask yourself why. 750 Million rounds for DHS!!

What does that have to do with the second amendment? They simply made a deal that was worth the investment.

I think the point is that US citizens have a natural distrust for the government and when the government does things like buy very large, seemingly unnecessary amounts of ammo with no real explanation it just reminds us of our need for self protection from that government.  That said, I don't imagine you'll see demonstrations or violence over it.  But those who watch such things - and there are many - probably are getting a little more "prepared" as time goes along.

And that's called paranoia. Your government agencies order bullets all the time. I'm pretty sure of that. If they have armed officers, they need training, too, hence a lot of bullets. But if you always argue that everything the government or one of its agencies is doing could lead to a violation of the US citizens rights, I see where those paranoia come from, and why it is so easy for you to justify the 2nd amendment's current interpretation.
Seriously, there is no big deal here. How many rounds does your military have? Or the police? Do you worry about that?

Here is where the problem will lie; Obama will get to appoint 2-3 new supreme court justices make it a decidedly left leaning bench this alone should scare the bejesus out of everyone.

Harry Reid is purposing filibuster reform to keep the GOP from filibustering things like supreme court justice appointments paving the way for Obama to appoint anyone he wants no questions asked.

http://www.huffingto..._n_2088767.html

Rumors for candidates for appointment to the court when the time come have been Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett and Janet Napolitano among others.

So you can bet any legislation that makes it to the supreme court after these appointments are made in favor of gun control will get passed even the abolishment of the individual right to bear arms is possible according to the head of the NRA.

Of course government agencies order a lot of ammo. Agents need to train and you go through a hell of a lot of bullets during training. Like most of the stuff that comes out of infowars it's just an attempt to make people terrified of the government for no reason. They deal in paranoia so they go out of their way to make people paranoid.

On the issue of judges aren't some that are looking to step down liberal learning at the start? So Obama is going to replace liberal leaning judges with liberal leaning judges. Big deal. Even if the Supreme Court does give the edge to left leaning judges that is in no way proof that they'd try to mess with the 2nd amendment. Just more fear.
