Yes. The vast majority would give and obey those orders. Maybe ten percent would not.

I always ROFL when I see that slogan on a license plate. Those who make them are certainly doing neither.

Yes, I believe they would. It's happened once already.

Hunting has nothing to do with it.

Do you honestly think any military commander would obey that order to fire on fellow Americans? Do you think any more than 10% of the military would obey that order? There is almost zero chance of this turning into a civil war.

Neither country ever banned all guns. Canada scrapped its registration system for handguns because it didn't work. Australia still bans most handguns, but rifles and shotguns are very common (there's enough wildlife that you need them in most of the country, even if you don't hunt).

The only Americans willing to consider revolution anytime soon are the thugs in places like Ferguson. Waking them up would be bad for everyone, including them.

The trouble is that you'd be forced to fight another civil war. And the state militias are mostly kept almost as weak as the civilians, so there's no way the state could win unless a large part of the army defected to them. If the Oath Keepers ever get millions of members, it might be worth trying.

they seem to skim about 50 percent, like with the
dept of education and of energy and commerce... -- j

they have begun that process by raising inheritance
taxes this past week to 55 percent, if my source is
correct. . if the feds can get away with it, they will
steal everything. -- j

our land taxes are not too bad, but yes, property
taxes never fall;;; they rise perpetually!!! -- j

Well...good move, but they've already got the gun owners on a list at this point, there. :(
It never made any sense to me that a shot gun is okay, but a hand gun isn't... do these twits not know the damage a shot gun does? And what threat is a gun on the hip of a non threatening person? It's the PERSON who's pointing it at an innocent person that's a problem...not the gun itself. The clowns are running the circus.

Register the "Restricted" stuff (any handgun, shorter-barrelled stuff, "scary" stuff (AR-variants))

Used to have to register the hunting rifles and shotguns stuff, but that was the law that got pulled out.

So, yeah, we can't walk around with a pistol on our hip yet, but we're working towards it. The initiative that seems to be making the most headway is http://www.wildernessprotection.ca/

I hung out with John Cummins on Saturday night. Interesting man.

I used to think that libertarians were way out there but lately I am thinking that they are what we need right now!!!!
We need a state that is self sufficient such as Texas that has its own economy and can feed its people!!!
Texas is the leader in energy.
Texas usually votes for better governors than most other states.

You made an assumption that we still consider CA to be part of the United States (or New York either...or CT...). :) May you keep moving more and more towards freedom. (Do you have to register them though?)

Interesting. Weird how someone who "Can't own guns" owns 6.

Yeah, there are different classifications of them, and there are mag restrictions, etc, but in the grand scheme of things it's actually easier to own a gun in Canada than it is in California.

And we have a ton of groups that are working towards de-restricting some of the firearms, and our current Government (Conservative party), in 2013, repealed a 19-year law that made us register our "standard" rifles and shotguns. Oh yeah, and that same government refused to sign that UN Arms Treaty too.

So, yeah, we have a bit to go, but have come a long way, and are in no way comparable to the firearms laws in UK and Oz. And our current leaders aren't scared of things that go bang.

It rolls like the sea.
I think I need to talk to John about licensure!

OK I like that one, it sounds cool AND its a tongue twister.
