The Gun Grab Begins


OverSword

As the state promises gun rights activists they’re not coming for their guns, behind the scenes they’re pleading for it to happen. And now the feared gun grab is occurring. Residents in Deerfield, Illinois have 60 days to surrender their “assault weapons” or face fines of $1000 per day per gun.

The gun ban ordinance was passed on April 2nd with residents left with few choices of how to dispose of their valuable “assault weapons.” Upon careful reading of the ordinance, residents will be left with revolvers, .22 caliber “plinking” rifles, and double barrel shotguns

Prediction:

80% of the people that own the prohibited weapons will ignore this law.  Let this be a lesson to the rest of us, never register your weapons.

I had no choice. But I "sold" them to a family member after I was arrested. :)

Yeah, that's different.  I don't own any guns but if I ever do they will be purchased privately that's for sure.

The Liberal Government here in Canada wants to bring back the long gun registry the previous Conservative Government abolished. Why did they abolish it? Because after several billion dollars spent creating the damn thing, many long gun owners did not register their guns. Besides that, there are the obvious problems such as the extremely low number of long guns used in crimes and the added legislative costs trying to maintain the registry. Not only that, the Police only referenced the registry a handful of times over several years. 

Why do the Libs wants to bring it back? Who knows. Trudeau has his panties in a knot over AMERICAN gun crimes so apparently law abiding Canadians need to suffer? You know, cause of all the Canadian mass shooters out there? Ugh. 

We have historical example after example of corrupt Goverments taking away citizens' guns while citing safety concerns. Time after time, we have seen how this plays out yet the same Lefty's who don't trust the Government want us to turn in our guns to said Government. Makes 0 sense. Criminals don't obey laws, the majority of gun crimes are suicides, etc etc etc ETC. How many times do we have to re-hash these arguments?

wow, who knew they would do that, they said they are not going after our guns.

 

p.s. that is exactly what happens in nyc 7 years ago, thou ar's were illegal before that, they went after all s\a rifles and all rifles that hold more than 5 rounds, regardless of action and caliber.,

like i said there will be no outright confiscation, they will restrict little by little until they restrict everything

The whole idea behind this conspiracy theory was that the Government(TM) was going, by means of staging False Flag incidents that would necessitate imposing ever stricter Gun Control, to Take Away America's Guns and so render the populace powerless for them to impose a dictatorship, yes? But it's clearly Democrat-run states that are doing this. So what is their aim? To impose dictatorships in these states (Illinois, the northeast, California etc) and then what? To somehow then turn on Washington and seize power, having disarmed their people? That would surely put them at a big disadvantage in any hypothetical civil war. It doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense. This conspiracy theory never seems to be fully thought through .

The propaganda is starting to take hold over common sense. Why didn't they think of this sooner? Put a student's face out front and start roping in the sympathy and attention of the upcoming generation since the older generation sees what's going on.

What conspiracy theory? You're acting like this has never happened before. Do I need to cite examples of successful gun grabs and subsequent dictatorships? Do we need to call the play-by-play on every single step of this large and convoluted scheme?

Forget the threat of tyranny, just look at this from a common sense standpoint. Criminals don't care about laws - let's start with that nugget of wisdom.

While I'm on my soapbox, let me talk about the potential civil war between the Government and the people. I think there is a big misunderstanding about what that would look like.

The main argument against such a scenario is that the Government has all the firepower and there is no chance the people could win. That's very true. That's absolutely accurate, assuming the mililtary was completely on board. 

But it was never about winning, it's about the threat. Think of it like nuclear armaments - it creates a scenario of Mutually Assured Destruction. There would be many casualties on both sides and it would a BLOODY MESS. The Gov would win but the optics would be so horrific on the world stage it acts as a deterrent in and of itself. Imagine if we watched it happen in Australia: footage on CNN of farmers being shot at inside their homes. Or maybe some helicopter footage of small bands of citizens trading shots with Australian soldiers in downtown square. 

Such a civil war would crush their economy, it would kill their trade deals, some major businesses would probably leave and the remaining citizens would likely face extreme poverty and desolation. Again, horrific optics for Australia.

But because we have guns and the Gov has guns, we don't have to worry about that. If the Gov was not concerned about such events playing out, they would simply roll down main street in tanks and take the guns.

They haven't done that or even tried. Why not?

"Divide and conquer". It will be played as "peaceful anti-gun demonstrators viciously attacked by alt-right 2nd Amendment supporters". The world will of course be on the side of peace and that's how history will remember it.

Obviously unconstitutional and will easily be overturned AFTER the municipality spends 1000's of taxpayer $ on legal fees.  Stupid.

I think it is time for the good people of Deerfield to arm themselves and march on city hall in unity.  If they want to minimize the bloodshed, they need to do it now.  They need to overwhelm law enforcement and practice the 2nd Amendment as designed.  The population of Deerfield is about 19,000.  I would think that the number of AR15s outnumber the police force.  A show of force now would give wannabe Progressives in other small towns pause before pulling this crap again.

As much as I like that idea, early on it needs to be taken care of in-house.  Outsiders, even from nearby towns would send the wrong message.  If the first round fails, then bring in that million.

i'm afraid   if first round fails there will be no second chance.  cops will be prepared and have back up, and people will be reactant to do it again knowing it has failed once,. unfortunately it is not the case where we can get up and try again. 

i'd say people of deerfield need to  do peaceful protest, but at the same time shut down the city,  all have to stay home and call in sick,  (not saying we protest, cuz they may be fired), but call in sick., or find another legit reason to stay home. and deny any relation to gun grab.
