Yes sir, I believe they have already started their move on firearm legislation. The media including Fox seems to be reporting just about every shooting they can find...no matter how small and includes hand guns as well.

you have now....
not trying to start an argument, but you should really examine the ramifications of that view before deciding that we would be better off as seperate nation. While control of our country by crooked Washington politicians sucks, a ROT would present a whole new set of equally huge problems...atriot:
Would you mind elaborating on what kind of problems you can think of if Texas was a Republic?
It would take a novel to go into any kind of detail, but as proud as I am of Texas, I am a realist.
While Texas may survive as a Republic...IMO we would be reduced to an insignificant existance. There would likely be attempts to absorb Texas into another larger country. No military infrastructure of any significance...no monetary system...no system for reliable tax collection....not enough manufacturing base.....
If you think we have issues with Mexico now...a separate Texas would be overwhelmed.
This is a moot point....despite what some fringe groups postulate, Texas has no legal authority to secede any more than any other state. This is a subject that has been beat into the ground for decades.

How's that workin' for ya?
What will the Federal Government consider Texas if it should secede? What's the purpose of the U.S. military that occupies these bases? Where do you think their loyalty will lie?
Hmm, if we declare our independence and reinstate the republic, then the existing military bases will be on our soil. I see no reason that they wouldn't become defacto our military bases. Fort Hood? Sam Houston AFB...
Um....that is called theft...taking something that is not yours....
Many on here rail against the Govt seizing anything of ours, but think it is ok to steal whatever we find useful from them? there are 49 other states that have a stake in the ownership of those bases...what about them?
You ever hear of Guantanomo Bay, Cuba? Castro took over and we said, stay off our base....dont care if its in your country.
If i am a guest at your home and you walk up and say, "get out of my house", does that make my suitcase and belongings yours to keep?
This has been argued over and over and over....
As I stated before. I am as pround a Texas as anyone, but...there is no legal precedent that will allow Texas to ever secede. There is no law that makes it legal. We fought a civil war over this issue....we lost.
And anyone who thinks it would be great to have a separate republic is simply ill informed.....granted it is a romantic and forward thinking point of view, but it will never happen, barring a complete societal meltdown.

What going to happen to all the ARs and pistols?
Well...in reality...we do not know.
The gun sellers and gloom and doomsayers will tell you that the end is near and thata ban will happen very soon after Obama takes office. Many people pushing this are gun sellers and stand to profit from the panic. Don't kid yourselves....the gun sellers ARE loving this, just as they loved the Clinton panic buying and the 70 dollar Glock mags that sold in 1995 and on until 2004.
The truth is...we do not know if and when a ban is coming at the moment. Despite the best guessers...its still speculation.
If the assault rifles and hi-cap pistols get banned....your AR or pistol that holds more than 10rds could be worth alot of money. I sold my extra Glock 17 mags in 1996 for 70 bucks apiece.
Again...this too is largely a guess, because since a ban is not in DC right now, we do not know the scope of the ban. It might forbid the selling of these items completely or worse. Again..at this point...its still speculation!
My guess is that Obama will be so busy with the more presing issues and mess he will inherit, a gun ban will be very low on his list of things to do. He might also recall that Clinton's 1994 ban was VERY instrumental in his party losing contol that they enjoyed for some 40 odd years.
In reality, Obama has MUCH bigger players to re-pay before the anti-gunners. The economic issues he faces in 09 are TEN TIMES more pressing than any that Clinton faced before.
My guess is that IF we see a ban at all...it will happen much farther down the road...if it happens at all. A sudden up-tick in school shootings or other gun crimes MIGHT give way to Obama accelerating a ban, but other than that, I really think he knows it could cost him a Congress to work with in 2010 and he will have plenty on his plate to keep him busy and it probably will not happen.
Agian..my theory...like the musings of everyone else...is still nothing more than a guess.
All of this aside...if you own any extra hi-cap pistols or hi-cap rifles and were thinking of selling them...I'd hold off, unless you're in dire need for cash. They MIGHT be worth alot more if you wait.
Me? I am not hoarding or buying any of those inflated ARs or AKs but am slowly buying a little more ammo than normal and will NOT be selling any of my older guns thatI don't shootvery much, like my 96 Beretta and Mini-14. They COULD be worth alot more later on. Does not cost me to hang onto them for a little while.
Thats my take...for what its worth...

brickboy240 --- I'm doing the same ---buying a little extra ammo, a hi-cap mag here and there.
you mentioned:

I don't think we'll see more shootings, but greater nation-wide main-stream media reporting of any/all shootings as a run up to any gun ban.

I do not think a ban will come before the supply has met demand, so all those folks paying premium right now are going to be stuck with an expensive gun.
I also think in a few months a lot of folks will realize no ban is coming anytime soon, and they bought in a panic, see supply meeting demand as outlined above, and will try to sell before losing any more value in order to make a house payment or whatever.
