Making a law prohibiting chocolate cake for breakfast is a good common sense bit of regulation we should all agree on.....
Right?

Why all the defeatist attitude among gun owners?
- Thread starter SilentStalkr
- Start date
I don't see the coming gun regulations to be a bad thing. In fact, I see them as a chance for gun manufacturers to truly begin innovating again, instead of making derivative ARs over and over again. Can you imagine the variability we'll see in design when we have to get around threaded barrels, telescoping stocks, handguards, pistol grips, flash hiders, DBM restrictions, and the color black? 
Not to mention the legal hooplah we are about to witness for Grandfathered items and unconstitutional acts to confiscate them. It'll be like the period when the 18th Amendment was added eventually followed by the 21st amendment. There may be some municipalities that try to enforce these bans hardcore but I suspect when many home owners are acquitted of murder charges of SWATters, enforcement will become nil.

You're just talking to the wrong folks.
There's 95+% of the adult American population that echos those same things.
The rest... for better or for worse... would be like, "Yeah, OK... When? What're we gonna do when we get there? What's the goal?"
It's the main reason I don't give much of a fuck at all about the federal government. They're largely inconsequential to ME, and also really fucking far away.
What's better, in my opinion, is "Hey, Wilson1911, let's go speak freely in the Texas capital. Bring lots of beer and about 120 pounds of flank steak/fajita meat, some condiments, veggies, and whatever, and invite everyone we encounter on our trip there."
Or, do the same thing for in a city and walk up to city hall.
Much more immediate, much more practical, and far more consequential than the fed.
I think first; you will have to define "breakfast".
Some folks work the graveyard shift. Some motels have the breakfast bar open until 8:00 AM - some until 9:00 AM. Exactly when is "breakfast"? Does "brunch" qualify as a "breakfast", if you don't eat "dinner" (or is it "lunch")?
Finish that part - and then we will determine, if a brownie is a "cake". Would angel food cake be OK? (probably not - religion and all). I suppose cookies might be an option.
I wonder how many "Fuds" are trying to determine the best - chocolate or angel food?
That is exactly how we have gotten to this point with the 2A.
Busybodies and emotional voters.

Local -> State -> Federal, in that order.
Don't move on to the next level until at least 70% of the prior level is on board.

So when you get to Washington and parade down the street and do some kind of dance the MSM will ignore you just like the politicians. 30 seconds after you leave town the trash dept will clean the streets and you will be forgotten.

i tend to disagree.
the amendment was added to protect us from our own government, since the founders had to arm themselves in defiance of the crown in order to start the revolution.
Declaration of Independence includes:
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
...
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

NO MORE THAN 10 MARSHMALLOWS PER BOWL OF LUCKY CHARMS!
No problem.
Breakfast:
Typically denotes the breaking, or ceasing, desist, end, a period of going without food.
Typically doctors will have one "fast" for a fasting blood test. Usually a break from ingesting anything beyond water for a specified period. Thus we can determine that a "fast" can be extremely variable and wide ranging. 40 days of fasting is known as a "prophets fast".
Oh....
Militia
Bought a few more. No way they are confiscated. Don’t really think anyone would.
But I’ve seen strange shit going on. Times have changed.

Sir, you will no longer be allowed to eat sweet or fruity cereals. The state has determined that they pose no real nutritional value. You will be required to substitute your Lucky charms, with birch twigs and elderberries.
And you have lost your medical coverage due to the diabetes that your eating habits led to.

God damn commies!

Dude
You really need to take a reading comprehension course.
The intent of 2A is not in question. That is not what my post was about at all. I agree that the intent is to protect our rights against ALL enemies foreign and domestic.
The point I was making is that the courts, including SCOTUS, have not heard the relevance and applicability of 2A at the individual level.
i am not saying you are wrong to suspect this argument, so no need to get defensive.
i understand some antis try to focus on the "well organized militia" part.
i am simply arguing that an armed militia cannot possibly be formed from an unarmed civilian population, full stop.
as for actually having organized militias, how does the government treat them?
All you can do is help the ones who are open minded. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. The ones that won't drink will have to learn the hard way someday. Why waste valuable time casting your pearls before swine. If they will listen be an open book. If they want to argue move along.SilentStalkr - I am not going to run for office, it is not something I would be good at.
As for the rest of what you noted, I already do all that. Still seem to be losing.
My experience with talking to leftist is that they don't want to listen. Once they find out I own a gun, I am nothing but an NRA shill telling them lies and they turn off any listening they might have had. I am not joking here, I have lost what I once thought to be friends over seemingly harmless gun control discussions.
The only people that will sometimes listen are people that are on the fence. In this area I have two friends that are moderate liberals that now (now as in the last 3 years) own plenty of guns and shoot regularly, all due to me introducing them to the sport and teaching them anything they wanted to know as unbiased as I could. I am still not sure one of them would vote the right way for the next president, but he will think about it a lot more now.
I am more than willing to help folks with an open mind see that shooting is a sport that is fun and challenging, AS WELL AS, being a skill you can use to defend yourself if you live in a free state
Stop thinking like a Californian. I have nothing to be defensive about but you need to learn how to comprehend what you read.
I have no clue how the present Government defines a militia but it is not the same construct as militias during the Revolutionary war. There wasn’t a formal standing Army. Common people banded together to protect themselves against the tyranny of the Crown.
Today’s Government is bent on redefining what a militia is to prevent 2A from being classified as an INDIVIDUAL right. That will begin the phase of registration and then confiscation. That is because they are traitorous dogs that deserve the fate that they will get if they continue. They have one goal and that is to stay in power and reap the benefits while you slaves do their bidding. I say you slaves as you will be one that turns things over when the time comes.
Accept the fact that you live in a state full of people determined to destroy our country. That is a reason why I left after 12 years. When the fucks passed the registration with the 2000 AWB, I gladly told them to suck my dick. Registered nothing and left with everything. You should get the fuck out. My wife spent her entire life in SoCal other than graduate school and was a driving factor with us moving back East.
Smarten the fuck up

funny, because my hide forum join date coincides closely with the date in which i obtained the first of the rifles you think the government will confiscate from "people like me".
Now if you believe me to be the coward you describe, why did I just spend over $7000 to get something I would be willing to turn in?
fuck off.

Dude, assuming it is going to happen and there is nothing you can do is the text book definition of defeatist.
Defeatist - a person who expects or is excessively ready to accept failure.
It will only happen if other gun owners like you decide it is a done deal and do nothing. I have never understood why so many gun owners just assume everything is lost and do not even bother to put up a fight. Anti-gunners are holding rallies and demanding change all over the USA, gun owners are doing nothing but whining about NRA/WLP.
There is no reason we cannot defeat RedFlag/UBC laws this time around, if we try. Outside of Dems, there is very little support for it, but only the Antis are making noise right now. So if gun owners remain silent, who knows what we will get and what will be added on at the last minute.
What we need is a bunch of elected officials (maybe even a majority?) that would support our cau . . . . .
Oh, wait . . . nevermind. We had that and it (they?) didn't work.
Oh, wait . . . nevermind. We had that and it (they?) didn't work.
When was the last time you drafted or voted on a bill in DC? At bare minimum, when was the last time your elected official that YOU chose listened to your idea and decided to do their best to push it through? If you do none of that, then there ain't shit you can do. Stop playing yourself and stop virtue signaling. You run for office and win, I'll change my mind. someone randomly nominates me and I win, then I'll do some shit and change my mind. I'm not defeated nor feel defeated. I only feel this as a challenge. They are not defeating gun owners, they're challenging us and it's up to us as free men to show them what time it is.
My elected official listened to me this am.
These past few days, while you did nothing, we just got UBC killed off.
Amazing what can be accomplished if you try.
Yep. From what I’m told, my reps don’t hardly ever hear from anyone. They also going after Ammo now!
I've called my local representative umpteen times expressing my worries and concerns. How many times do u hear of Tom Tillis making a stink ab 2A laws. My congressman is dead and there is currently an election going on for Walter B. Jones's seat. Nobody to talk to. Walter wasnt a big help as it was when he was still above ground..

U.S. Population Projections: 2005-2050
If current trends continue, the population of the United States will rise to 438 million in 2050, from 296 million in 2005, and 82% of the increase will be due to immigrants arriving from 2005 to 2050 and their U.S.-born descendants.

I like the reasoning. Used similar on a wealthy woman who drives a big Cadillac. She asked me 'do you really need all those bullets?' I replied: do you really need that Cadillac?
and all the young socialists that we are home growing in the US education system are organizing with the help of socialist democrats
So their angle is, what about the kids?
and the funny thing is, those that stand behind the 2A and believe our future generations will need it are thinking the same thing, what about the kids....
They are going to add so much red tape/time and cost to gun ownership that many won't bother with it in the future (see Australia fro examples of extreme levels of gun control)

So you own an AR in the standard form? Meaning that the features are the common ones that everyone outside of Commifornia own? Pistol grip, adjustable stock, push button magazine release, and the little due hicky on the end of the barrel? All those evil features that your masters are scared by?
I know this will probably sound strange, but I am really just trying to understand what happened to these leftists in their lives that brought them to such an extremist view. That is the #1 reason I engage the extreme leftist. So far I have come to a few different conclusions, and none of them are good. I do this to know and understand what I am up against. Most of them are anti gun as they believe MSM and leftist social media 100%. Sadly I am saying they can no longer think for themselves and just parrot phrases.
It appears to me that in most cases Eric Holder and his brainwashing campaign has worked
To paraphrase, say guns are bad, deliver a daily message in schools (I read that to mean target young people) that guns are bad, eventually people will believe it
That seems to be what has happened.
How do you combat that on a LARGE scale?
The leftists own the public schools, their ideas are being drilled into kids heads at a young age. That is what has to be stopped. We are raising generation after generation of people that are brainwashed with anti American ideals....
My opinion on how to combat would be ditch the school system as we know it. No busses no school campus no faculty all at home via computer they're already familiar with just computer courses that are approved no politics Just plain learning programming if you can get a college degree online k through 12 should not be difficult. All the money saved should be able to issue each student with a laptop. Safer for the students not having to get to school especially thru tough neighborhoods (not being exposed to the criminal element) better for the environment should please the left. Should be less taxes? As far as sports goes that is what used to be called city leagues well before I was born on the individuals/parents dime. As far as the social interaction everyone has theirs on the fucking phone anyway. My. 02
not an "AR" but a semi-automatic centerfire rifle, until the tragic boating accident.
