    That type of sentiment is naive and minimizes the influence the international community has on many people including the pols. If the UN announced that the US had to give up their guns just who do you think, in percentages and basic demography, would rise up to stop it?

    A small group maybe 15% or so would really fight it. 55% would think it cool, and 30% would harp it is wrong while complying.

    With odds like that I should go pick out my urn...

    I am of the belief that we, as American's, feel like it may be right to give away our liberty and freedom but if anyone else tries to take it you had better pack a lunch.

    That is what I have come to believe from others actions, not what I endorse/teach/think. We have an obligation as stewards of the constitution to allow all those who come after us the same benefit we enjoyed by the efforts of those who came before us.

    It is only realistic to discern between what you have, what you want and what you need. The general public has been neutered and taught that all these "noble" thoughts in the constitution somehow exist independent of each other and it is like a smorgasbord where you take only what you want. But the constitution is really like a recipe, and for want of even a small ingredient makes the whole effort fail.

    Just because the nut next door thinks they were born with some innate ability to decide, with Solomon like wisdom, issues correctly by taking 2 seconds to access the left side of their brain has been, is and will remain being BS.

    Every drop of ink on the constitution was purchased with thousands and thousands of buckets of blood. A rich enough price to warrant it being saved. Thousands and thousands too rich to give away.

    The silence you believe you hear may not be apathy, but the lull before the storm...

    It only took 3% to win the revolution...

    There are an estimated 40 million gun owners in the U.S.

    15% of American gun owners is 6,000,000 people.

    That's a pretty large 15%.

    And the average age of those 15% is? Middle aged, by my estimation. Most of the 40 million own a gun and are not strong 2A supporters.

    I hope you guys are right, but I for one am having a difficult time envisioning the 15-30 year old snowflakes that are addicted either to meth or social media are going to do the heavy lifting done by the Revolutionary heroes to save the country as we know it. They lack real education and are fully indoctrinated, recent polling indicates a sizable majority prefer socialism. So you guys in the country, s it that different than in the cities? What percentage of kids are shooters, and or outdoorsmen and women?

    I hope you guys are right but I read from many sources and I do not see that happening...

    It is, and there is no question that would represent a formidable challenge to any group wanting to try such a stunt.

    That said, times have changed; between ubiquitous and hackable technology and the relative character and conditioning (e.g. #SeeSay) of the 85%, abilities would be constrained, relatively speaking.

    I'm not talking about the indoctrinated, the addicted . I would think that the 6 million figure I stated would be 6 million of the most patriotic, brave Americans, willing to stand up for what's right. When it comes down to it, I think you'd be surprised at how many would join that group.

    Times have changed, people, maybe not so much. I think there's still a large population that has what it takes.

    If, God forbid, it happens, the side willing to do what is currently thought to be taboo is the one who will win.

    Think of the "No prisoners!" scene from Lawrence of Arabia.

    A Vietnamese version of Thor did not drive us out of South Vietnam. Captain Koran isn't the one giving us a hard time in southwestern Asia. Regular people who call bull**** on people meddling in their way of life are the ones who get things done.

    America is the ONLY country in the world where owning firearms is a RIGHT and not a privilege, I am not a religious person but I thank God every day for being born in the greatest country the world has ever seen.

    The rest of the world can go pound sand , there is a reason we are a super power and the rest of the countries aren't

    I too thank God for this country and the great leadership that made it the best in the world, in fact that leadership made the entire world a better place with trade largely replacing war.

    The second point is where the trouble begins, we have and have had far from great leadership for 30 years and the affects are showing. Our social structure is crumbling, churches, civic organizations, even business structure are dying due to lack of embrace by the young social media addicted coming up. We may view ourselves as a super power, but much of the world does not.

    We cannot take our rights for granted, we must do all we can to protect them from within and without...

    Out of curiosity, when is enough, enough. Seems like all us "Patriots " give inch after inch, excuse threat after threat. Sounds like either there is no line drawn in the sand, or we aren't as diehard as we think. I pray it never comes to action being needed, but I see no one besides a very few individuals and groups like the Goa doing anything about it, besides whine like millennials. Heck, I can't even tell the difference between the nra, a corporation, or a politician. I'm not trying to sound like a wannabe militia, tier one operator. But I am curious where our collective line is drawn. After all were left with is the ars we lost in a boating accident, and a pump action shot gun? Maybe, itll be when they leave us with only rimfires. Slingshots? Bows? I pray that line is never crossed, but when it does, will we just draw another line, and again over and over? I for one feel cowardly for not even knowing my personal line or my reaction to it being violated.:twocents:

    Most people in other countries can't comprehend the idea that this country was founded on, that the people control the government and not the other way around. Well at least it used to be that way when our constitution actually was remembered as the supreme law of the land.

    Guess how much I care about how the world views our guns....



    They sure seem to want Americans around when the enemy is at the gate. Or mother nature tears them up.

    As a non-American I think many people around the world know that.
    Foreign governments don't like that idea, but their people do.

    Japan wanted to invade the U.S. during WWII,

    and they didn't BECAUSE there would be an AMERICAN, behind every blade of grass, with a RIFLE .....

    Hey look.....a fake quote attributed to a Japanese general that never was actually said.

    Please stop quoting this. It makes us look really stupid to anyone that knows a bit of history.

    If they were going to go through the trouble to insert an anti-gun manifesto, why wouldn't they rather insert an anti-muslim manifesto so that they could more easily report the shooter as being a right wing racist? Seems to me that this would be the more likely chosen method for the globalists.

    By the way, how is the media reporting his anti-gun manifesto? Seems like the shooter having an anti-gun manifesto would not help their cause, although probably not hurt their cause, either.
