I am just curious, would you give up your guns? Not trying to start a fight here, just want your thoughts if it happened here.

That is the wrong question. Would I fire on local Law Enforcement? No.

Would you? Easy to talk tough from behind your computer when the likelihood of it happening is probably about the same as winning the lottery.

I can you say that about that man? You don't him to say what he will or wont do. Thats just foul. Furthermore, you have no idea what LEO's will do. It's not like this hasn't happened before. Remember New Orleans during Katrina

Everytime i hear or think of gun confiscation i see the pictures in my head of the Jews, having been disarmed and having their spirit worn down, getting dragged out of their homes, shoved into train cars and killed en masse. Over time they had been so conditioned to obey authority. Immoral authority is to be resisted, not obeyed. Im never going out like that.

To bring it back to the OP...why not massive civil disobedience? When Blacks were having their rights violated in the 50s and 60s they held sit ins and boycotts. Why not the same for gun owners? If our numbers are too small we need to bring more into the fold because it is minorities who have their rights violated and the smaller the group the easier it is.

I think we have plenty of gun owners in texas-organization is the hard part. We would need a solid way to convince people to take off work and have everyone meet up at the same spot.

As long as we keep people like Greg Abbott and Jerry Patterson in office I dont believe we have much to worry about in Texas. The rest of the US...

I believe it would be stupid to stand alone against the gun grabbers but banding together could cause a lot of problems for LE trying to take our guns.

^^^And that's just it right there.... I believe most people will be far more concerned with providing for their family and maintaining their way of life than they will be about the confiscation of firearms from their communities.

The problem in my opinion is lack of community. I mean, we have it here on the internets but im sure there are hundreds of "gun guys" that live near me and i dont know. Hopefully if we get persecuted we will band together more.

 

[1slow01Z71]

My family and friends share the same sentiments I do and will band together. I imagine the 30ish of us would pose a bit of a problem for LE if it comes down to that. If it really comes down to bullets having to fly I'd imagine word will get out, especially here in Texas. Texas has so many rural pockets of gun totin conservatives I just dont see how logistically LE could be effective at disarming us.

I suppose in NYC this is relatively easy to pull off. Id hope there are enough real men left in the rest of NY that that they couldnt pull this ish there. From what ive read NYC is choosing to enforce existing laws. Is this happening in the rest of the state, are people getting letters in the mail elsewhere? Are some jurisdictions enforcing the "safe" act and others arent? From what i understand NYC restrictions are even higher.

What a mess.

It looks like a few sheriffs and DAs are refusing to enforce the law.

And i may be late to realize this, but statewide, you have to have a permit to purchase a handgun?

 

[txbikerman]

I don't think that this would ever be tried here. Guns are too much apart of our lives and our history. If it was tried im sure most of us wouldnt turn them in, i wouldnt.

I agree with y'all that the idea of firearm confiscation here in Texas is by in large a stretch just to put it lightly. But don't kid yourselves fellas our great state is going blue in the big cities, never under estimate your opponents. Not to say that those areas are completely far left leaning or that there aren't still pro 2A citizens in those cities but the majority could become the minority in the not so distant future. As for now the fact that firearm and ammo sales were at an all time high during Ovomit's attack on our second amendment right and that firearm and ammo sales always tend to rise when that right comes under fire, gives me confidence that most American's have been and still are very protective of that right and will fight to keep it.

we are dealing with lawyers. they won't come to your door, they will strangle you from their desks with words.

Your post I quoted was unintelligible, and you should be clear as to what man you are referring.

Lest we forget-

The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] They were fought on April 19, 1775, in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (present-day Arlington), and Cambridge, near Boston. The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America.
About 700 British Army regulars, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were given secret orders to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot colonials had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations. They also received details about British plans on the night before the battle and were able to rapidly notify the area militias of the enemy movement.
The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. The militia were outnumbered and fell back, and the regulars proceeded on to Concord, where they searched for the supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, approximately 500 militiamen fought and defeated three companies of the King's troops. The outnumbered regulars fell back from the minutemen after a pitched battle in open territory.
More militiamen arrived soon thereafter and inflicted heavy damage on the regulars as they marched back towards Boston. Upon returning to Lexington, Smith's expedition was rescued by reinforcements under Brigadier General Hugh Percy. The combined force, now of about 1,700 men, marched back to Boston under heavy fire in a tactical withdrawal and eventually reached the safety of Charlestown. The accumulated militias blockaded the narrow land accesses to Charlestown and Boston, starting the Siege of Boston.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his "Concord Hymn", described the first shot fired by the Patriots at the North Bridge as the "shot heard 'round the world."[SUP][11][/SUP]
