Instead, Youll Hand them Over Posted August 31, 2016 in Legal Issues, Opinion, Shooting by billj with 837 Comments (BBC News) I have bad news for everyone whos waiting for national registration or a mass confiscation so they can get their armed rebellion on: a national database of gun owners already exists, and a national confiscation effort will never happen. Ever. Instead, youll hand over your firearms peacefully. All of them, even the ones you paid cash for to some random guy on Armslist in the dead of night. Follow the All Outdoor Legal Issues Channel Heres a look at how it will play out in our not-too-distant future. The NSA Knows Who You Are and What You Have Second Amendment supporters have been so focused on this one little corner of the Bill of Rights that theyve let the Fourth Amendment, which is supposed to protect citizens against unreasonable search and seizure, turn into dead letter. The surveillance state that got started under Clinton picked up steam under Bush II, and Obama has expanded it even further. The NSA is tracking everyone, all the time, and theyre hooked into Facebook, Google, Amazon, and every other piece of web-based software that youve been using to shop for accessories for that AR you paid cash for (which your wife doesnt even know you have). If you dont believe me, go read this article about just how much detailed info one private company, Facebook, has on you, including your web surfing, shopping, and even your driving and walking habits. Now think about the fact that the NSA is even less constrained by the law (and has way more resources) than Facebook and has access not only to Facebooks detailed profile of you but to profiles created by many other sources, from your credit card company to your health insurance provider. Oh sure, you may have gotten your hands on a few guns that would be impossible to trace, even by the NSA. Maybe you inherited a long gun from your grandpa, or maybe you met a guy in a gun show parking lot and paid cash and then never Googled anything related to that gun. So heres a question for you: how many people like you exist, and how many of those type guns are suitable for urban combat against AR-15s with state-of-the-art optics? I know which of my guns are probably totally in the black, and I cant imagine trying to mount an insurgency with any or all of them. The fact is, most guys who have the kind of hardware suitable for a Civil War 2.0 have been shopping on Gunbroker or Armslist, and/or have filled out FFL paperwork like law-abiding citizens. I seriously doubt theres enough firepower totally hidden from the NSA to sustain any kind of real rebellion. So the registration ship has sailed. They know what you have and where to find you. Now, heres how theyre going to get you to turn it over without a fight. No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State Hitting You Where It Hurts When the government outlaws semi-automatic firearms, they wont send cops or troops door-to-door to take them. No, first theyll send out letters saying they know what you have, and that you have to turn it over by a given deadline or face a penalty. Itll be up to you to prove that youre clean, and that youve handed over everything. Theyll have a list, and if they think youre still holding, theyll hit you with asset freezes. Imagine not being able to get any money out of your bank account or from your credit cards, because your assets are frozen. The federal and state governments already do this if you owe back taxesa simple letter to your bank, and all of your cards stop working. (Heres an account from one of our editors of how this actually happened to him.) The bank doesnt care about you, and they dont have the interest or resources to find out if the governments claim against you is bogus. No, theyll just freeze your assets until you get things sorted with the government and the government tells them to unfreeze it all. The other thing theyll do is take your children. Do you think Child Protective Services is going to let your children live in a house with potentially dangerous firearms? No way. Your kids will get picked up at school and taken into custody, and a social worker will show up at your door with the cops. Only when a thorough search has been conducted and the authorities are completely satisfied that your property is 100% gun-free will they let you see your little ones again. After all, we have to protect the children. Youre not going to shoot at those cops, either, because then your kids will just end up in the foster system as wards of the state. Not Nearly Enough for a Revolution Oh, Im sure there are folks reading this who are so off-grid that none of the above can touch them. Their guns are totally invisible to the NSA, their assets are all in the form of cash and physically held precious metals, and their kids are home-schooled on a well-guarded ranch. But is that blessed group big enough to overthrow a determined US government? No, it aint. The measures outlined abovea de facto gun registration database courtesy of the NSA and its private-sector allies, asset freezes for non-compliance, and the threat of CPS visits that hold your children hostagewill be sufficient to take well over 90% of the lawfully held guns out of civilian hands, all without firing a single shot. The bitter truth is this: there will be no confiscation shock troops for you and your buddies to shoot back at, and we will discover too late that the rights-defenders fantasyof one, crystal-clear moment when its time for everyone to rise up as one and take it all backhas been the establishments biggest ally and freedoms deadliest enemy. Why do you think theyve let you have guns for this long? Because those guns have given you a false sense of security and kept you from doing something truly dangerous, like mass-organizing to pull all your money out of the big banks and to vote out the incumbents. So if youve sat idly by, fondling your firearms and watching the surveillance state expand while your paycheck shrinks, relying on your gun stash to bail you out when things hit bottom, then the jokes on you. Youve already lost the war, and when you hand over your weapons itll be the last (and mostly symbolic) step in a process of total subjugation that slipped up and swallowed you while you were distracted with building your gun collection. You may hate me and everything Ive said here, but deep down, you know Im right. Update: A number of commenters are misreading this article. The headline doesnt say Ill hand them them over it says you will. And yeah, Im trolling you a bit with the tone of this piece by saying what you will and wont do, but its because Im trying to slap you awake. The main point thats being made is this: if youre waiting for a door-to-door confiscation, or even a national gun registry, then youll be waiting forever. Folks who like to talk about a causus belli will need get more creative in coming up with a bright line, because the ones so many of you are waiting for wont ever appear. If this article has spurred you to think more clearly about what the end of liberty might actually look like, and about what youll do under scenarios other than the classic door-to-door confiscation scenario, then it has done its job. Update 2: Ill be posting follow-ups to this piece and listing them in the newly created Follow-ups section, below. If youre interested in keeping up, you can bookmark this page and check back.

The NSA knows everything about you and they have been on your case for years. Thank God for people like Edward Snowden who have blown the whistle on these creeps. ;)

I was talking with an old boy out here at local Wal Mart a few years ago. I told him, "Obama wants the U.N. to control our guns." He said, "We'll never give up our guns. That's the way we are." There's a lot of them out there just like that. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Great breakdown of how it may very well go. Thank you for the alert.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
Screw Up: 8 Million Americans Are On The List To Be Disappeared https://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/screw-up-8-million-americans-are-on-the-list-to-be-disappeared/#comment-45707 The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Big words. Here's bigger words: what's a sheriff's department going to do when a deputy comes home to a burning pile of lumber, his dogs nailed to a telephone pole, and his wife hanging upside down from a rope with her tits cut off and her belly slit open and her entrails hanging down to the ground?? Harden your hearts..... With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." |
