Let me explain, gun grabbers, how your confiscatory fantasy plays out. Let us imagine for a moment that a sweeping gun control bill similar to the one currently suggested is passed by the House and Senate, and signed into law by a contemptuous President. Perhaps 50-100 million firearms currently owned by law-abiding citizens will become contraband with the stroke of a pen. Citizens will either register their firearms, or turn them in to agents of the federal government, or risk becoming criminals themselves. Faced with this choice, millions will indeed register their arms. Perhaps as many will claim they’ve sold their arms, or had them stolen. Suppose that as many as 200-250 million weapons of other types will go unregistered. Tens of millions of Americans will refuse to comply with an order that is clearly a violation of the explicit intent of the Second Amendment. Among the most ardent opposing these measures will be military veterans, active duty servicemen, and local law enforcement officers. Many of these individuals will refuse to carry out what they view as Constitutionally illegal orders. Perhaps 40-50 million citizens will view such a law as treason. Perhaps ten percent of those, 4-5 million, would support a rebellion in some way, and maybe 40,000-100,000 Americans will form small independently-functioning active resistance cells, or become lone-wolves. They will be leaderless, stateless, difficult to track, and considering the number of military veterans that would likely be among their number, extremely skilled at sabotage, assassination, and ambush. After a number of carefully-planned, highly-publicized, and successful raids by the government, one or more will invariably end “badly.” Whether innocents are gunned down, a city block is burned to ash, or especially fierce resistance leads to a disastrously failed raid doesn’t particularly matter. What matters is that when illusion of the government’s invincibility and infallibility is broken, the hunters will become the hunted. Unnamed citizens and federal agents will be the first to die, and they will die by the dozens and maybe hundreds, but famous politicians will soon join them in a spate of revenge killings, many of which will go unsolved. Ironically, while the gun grab was intended to keep citizens from preserving their liberties with medium-powered weapons, it completely ignored the longer-ranged rifles perfect for shooting at ranges far beyond what a security detail can protect, and suppressed .22LR weapons proven deadly in urban sniping in Europe and Asia. While the Secret Service will be able to protect the President in the White House, he will not dare leave his gilded cage except in carefully controlled circumstances. Even then he will be forced to move like a criminal. He will never be seen outdoors in public again. Not in this country. The 535 members of the House and Senate in both parties that allowed such a law to pass would largely be on their own; the Secret Service is too small to protect all of them and their families, the Capitol Police too unskilled, and competent private security not particularly interested in working against their own best interests at any price. The elites will be steadily whittled down, and if they can not be reached directly, the targets will become their staffers, spouses, children, and grandchildren. Grandstanding media figures loyal to the regime would die in droves, executed as enemies of the Republic. You can expect congressional staffs to disintegrate with just a few shootings, and expect elected officials themselves to resign well before a quarter of their number are eliminated, leaving us with a boxed-in executive, his cabinet loyalists trapped in the same win, die, or flee the country circumstance, military regime loyalists, and whatever State Governors who desire to risk their necks as well. Here, the President will doubtlessly order the activation of National Guard units and the regular military to impose martial law, setting the largest and most powerful military in the world against its own people. Unfortunately, the tighter the President clinches his tyrannical fist, the more rebels he makes. Military commands and federal agencies will be whittled down as servicemen and agents will desert or defect. Some may leave as individuals, others may join the Rebellion in squad and larger-sized units with all their weapons, tactics, skills, and insider intelligence. The regime will be unable to trust its own people, and because they cannot trust them, they will lose more in a vicious cycle of collapse. Some of these defectors will be true “operators,” with the skills and background to turn ragtag militia cells into the kind of forces that decimate loyalist troops, allowing them no rest and no respite, striking them when they are away from their most potent weapons. Military vehicles are formidable, but they are thirsty beasts, in terms of fuel, ammo, time, and maintenance. Tanks and bombers are formidable only when they have gas, guns, and can be maintained. In a war without a front, logistics are incredibly easy to destroy, and mechanics and supply clerks are not particularly adept at defending themselves. Eventually, the government will turn upon itself. The President will be captured or perhaps killed by his own protectors. A dictatorship will form in the vacuum. If we’re lucky, the United States of America, or whatever amalgam results, will again try to rebuild. If we’re very lucky, the victors will reinstate the Constitution as the law of the land. Just as likely though, we’ll face fractious civil wars fought over issues we’ve not begun to fathom, and a much diminished state or states will result, perhaps guided by foreign interests. It will not be pretty. There will be no “winners,” and perhaps hundreds of thousands to millions of dead. Yet, this is the future we face if the power-mad among us are not soundly defeated at the ballot box before they affect more “change” than we, the People, are willing to surrender to would-be tyrants.

While I agree with the author's overall view of how this may play out, I think that he is being too optimistic as to how easy it will be. IMHO, the author isn't taking into account the loyalty of the average Republican and Democrat voter. I am of the opinion that the Republican and Democrat faithful like AKA Stone, Goldi-lox, miningold, mcgowanjm, Robin, and Rimjob will join the government's side as fast as American patriots leave government. The Democrats because they worship government and will fight to keep their welfare state. The Republicans because their loyalty is to Israel and because they think that the USA has been anointed by God. They need a strong warfare state to maintain the status as Israel's protector and to continue their crusade of killing the world's Muslim population for Jesus. They will fight tooth and nail not to upset the power of the two party fraud. Don't get me wrong, I think we will win, but it won't be as easy as the author seems to think. Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! I was with Bob until he had to lay this bullshit line in the article. Voting (in FEDERAL (S)elections) is for MORONS. Treason has conspired with Greed and colluded with Murderers to overthrow "OUR" country. "Bankers" - Kill em all and let Satan sort em out" !!!
Yeah, whining on Internet forums and doing absolutely nothing is much better.
Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! I think the days of whining on the internet may soon come to an abrupt halt - especially if the gun grabbers start grabbin people's guns. Like I said, I thought Bob was spot on until he stated we should vote the Tyrants out. Voting the bums out hasn't worked for 100 years and this past election is clear enough evidence for me that VOTING IS FOR MORONS. I'll vote again when we move on to the cartridge box.

ow... Damn. Well.... Theirs always graffiti and vandalism. IF you could nail a political bomb of a viral message on a school in this day and age it might get national attention... considering recent events and all... ___FIRE
i thought Bob was being seriously insightful until that last sentence... tick, tick, tick...it's overtime my friends. count these days with your peeps as a bonus. rough times await. Red Dawn Happy Happy Happy ally'all. R I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm going to exercise my vote regardless of how stupid my peers are or how crooked the process is. It's the principle of the thing. If that makes me a moron in yours or anyone else's eyes then I can live with that. Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! Amen. if you want to make a difference then make it your mission that every single vote is accurately tallied and not one more or one less or one in between...and good luck. BTDT Who said anything about making a difference? I am under no illusions about voting or its effect.

Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional “laws” or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.

fwiw, this never seemed to concern The Ron Paul Campaign® in my '08 experiences... if you want to make a difference then make it your mission that every single vote is accurately tallied and not one more or one less or one in between...and good luck.

You're likely correct - CYA time is long gone (IMHO) when the discussion about gun grabbing has become serious. I think that line was more a CYA line than anything else.
