Sen. Diane Feinstein to Introduce Gun Control Bill

[Glas Ridire]

Really? That's the actual topic?

Wow...

Well, at least it included guns. . . . something neither your response nor JGarden's did. My goodness I got the word "gun" in there, twice now. . . . that makes me 2x as on topic

But the big guy is scary looking and goes into a scary looking gun!

 

[Panzerkamfwagen]

Off topic and kinda juvenile, I mean, really Rion reported it before the AP? How about we get back on topic:

I like guns

So do I.

Um no, you seem to be mistaken about this word "insurrectionist" let me help.
Insurrection - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Therefore, any group attempting to use force to undermine or infringe on the US Constitution, would be insurrectionists. Loyalists would be the more appropriate term for the NRA and military you seem to enjoy denigrating.

Um, no. The government would still be "a civil authority" and "an established government." Whether or not you think it's overstepping its bounds at any given time, you guys would still be the ones revolting.

Regardless, that wasn't really my point. It's YOU GUYS - the ones who are planning for the overthrow of a tyrannical government - who are worried that some percentage of the military is going to turn on the populous. You levy that charge against Quincunx, but he (and other progressives) aren't the ones who believe this scenario is going to play out in the first place. If you're looking for someone with an unflattering opinion of the military, look in the mirror.

Not to mention that if the military joins the side of those who are uprising, then it isn't really a government crackdown, it's partly a military coup. The government can't crackdown on its citizens if it has no control of the military.

1. A more likely scenario is some defections or a full blown civil war, rather than the entire military mutinying.

2. I'm more worried about the police or Federal agencies than the military cracking down on citizens. As others have said elsewhere "the police are the standing army the Founding Fathers warned us about". I don't think the military would get involved, one way or another, until after that happens.

Nothing that bad will happen if so called "assault weapons" are banned again. Only thing is nothing good will come from banning them either. It's just a political show our elected officials are putting on for us. I've decided this will be my last post on the issue. I refuse to even give this distraction any more attention.
