    Maybe he's using a reverse psychology?

    You know what martial law tends to lead to, don't you?

    Some people will fight against it.

    That's the irony of his post.

    Well numerous guns have been banned in my state as well as other restrictions. Not sure why you view gun bans as non gun bans.

    LOL. C'mon EggKiller, you understand me perfectly well. They can take some of your guns, but they can't take all of them. I'm sure the citizens of CT have plenty of options available. The government will never be able to take all our guns without a repeal of the 2nd Amendment. I don't see that happening.

    I noticed your avatar. Are you a High Power/ Service Rifle shooter?

    The POTUS is incompetent. Even the dimmest liberal should realize this.

    Well we can agree on that, I don't see a full repeal anytime soon. Incrementalism is alive and well over here though. Some day I will join the exodus and move to better climes. More people leaving utopia than coming in.

    No, I'm not. My shooting skills are amatuer at best.

    Yeah, come out here if you want. Didn't get much below 50 all winter. A lot different than CT. I don't blame affected gun owners for being annoyed. I think it would be more productive to discuss these issues sanely - stop the extremes from controlling the discussion - but that wouldn't get people elected.

    That would be very costly for both sides. Of Texas seceded to get away from the US government, Mexcio would be dumb to try and take it over.

    They'd lose men to guerilla fighters for decades.

    The political climate may be ok but the older I get the less I enjoy heat. Snowmobiling is the new passion now that I've put up the BenchRest guns for awhile. But thanks for the offer.

    I'm in Northern Nevada. It's certainly hot, but it's not Vegas hot. We have our 100 degree days, but it's usually in the mid 90s. Lake Tahoe is less than an hour away. Winter sports heaven.

    "IF" is a long shot. There are not as many liberals as it seems. One of the Alinsky tactics is to make it seem like there are more of you than there are. Liberals are just more vocal. Republicans won historically in the mid terms. That was not an accident. People are starting to reject liberal ideology. This is why they are so desperate and have to resort to identity politics.

    I don't see anybody talking about gun confiscation except conservatives. Show me some of the democrats you think want to send someone to your house to take your guns away.

    Wouldn't it be neat if wars were fought with farting unicorns? Perhaps then the authoritarians wouldn't be so eager for war.

    Please, they want the same crap that happened recently in CT and NY where they make felons by fiat of people that don't register their firearms. Typical liberal BS and lies.

    You're more than welcome to show me the bill that would do something like that on the federal level. Then, we'll talk. Otherwise, it's simply a theory without evidence to suggest it should be taken seriously.

    Politics in the United States have been swinging like a pendulum in slow motion between conservationism and liberalism for at least 150 years. The situation is self correcting. Whenever either the far left or the far right gains enough political power to attempt to move the entire country in their direction they inevitably over step, the American people turn away, and the pendulum begins to slowly change directions and starts moving in the other direction.

    There will always be people at the extreme fringes of either the radical left or the radical right who may resort to violence, but such actions have almost always been counter productive for their cause. The most recent example is the young man filled with hate who decided to take matters into his own hands in order "to start a race war". The reaction of both liberals and conservatives alike was condemnation of his actions and a call for peace and mutual understanding.

    I don't know about you, but I trust the character and good sense of the American people.

    Key word here is work. Does that include all the generational thugs and their mommas with EBT cards, Obama phones and section 8 housing. Oh yeah, here's a newsflash. Looting is not really working.
