This is a very disturbing article. On the outset it sounds as if might work. Here is where it falls short. American’s like our freedoms and would fight back. Forget the protests and riots, forget the chaos as snipers ambush the military and police once they enter neighborhoods to confiscate weapons. Extreme force would be needed (it is actually if, I don’t know many who would attempt to disarm the public especially with force) forget the lawsuits and the barriers built over night to block entrances into neighborhoods.
There are thousands of other ways to fight this. Common average working class Americans – you know the ones, they process your taxes, fill out all your paperwork, deliver your mail (know where you live) and hook up your emails, set up your unlisted numbers (this list is very long but you get the idea. Officials would be exposed extremely vulnerable and apparently unarmed) Anyone not happy with orders to steal their private property would systematically identify and eliminate anyone stupid enough to try this.
Bloggers would post overnight the al qaida playbook, instructions for building improvised weapons, land mines, caching techniques etc would be everywhere. All of this information is already online if you want it. Old military manuals are also available on ebay, and books lists found on line. You can legally by ammo on line also. Naturally, as a law abiding American I would never suggest anyone ever do any of these things (this is the part where I cover my ass just in case the FBI reads blogs) but all of this and more I would expect to see. Not days after this gun confiscation was announced but within minutes.
The anti gun crowd would see someone open the worlds biggest can of whoop ass and immediately be faced with the worlds largest and best-armed insurgency. Not a very good solution if you really want to cut down on violence is it? If you really want the guns, here is the peaceful solution. Eliminate the need for them. That’s it – simple.
Control crime, protect our borders, rights, freedoms and enforce our exciting laws and you can have them. Or you can try it your way.
The Toledo Blade, 25 Apr 07,
LAST week’s tragedy at Virginia Tech in which a mentally disturbed person gunned down 32 of America’s finest – intelligent young people with futures ahead of them – once again puts the phenomenon of an armed society into focus for Americans.
The likely underestimate of how many guns are wandering around America runs at 240 million in a population of about 300 million. What was clear last week is that at least two of those guns were in the wrong hands.
When people talk about doing something about guns in America, it often comes down to this: “How could America disarm even if it wanted to? There are so many guns out there.”
Because I have little or no power to influence the “if” part of the issue, I will stick with the “how.” And before anyone starts to hyperventilate and think I’m a crazed liberal zealot wanting to take his gun from his cold, dead hands, let me share my experience of guns.
As a child I played cowboys and Indians with cap guns. I had a Daisy Red Ryder B-B gun. My father had in his bedside table drawer an old pistol which I examined surreptitiously from time to time. When assigned to the American embassy in Beirut during the war in Lebanon, I sometimes carried a .357 Magnum, which I could fire accurately. I also learned to handle and fire a variety of weapons while I was there, including Uzis and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
I don’t have any problem with hunting, although blowing away animals with high-powered weapons seems a pointless, no-contest affair to me. I suppose I would enjoy the fellowship of the experience with other friends who are hunters.
Now, how would one disarm the American population? First of all, federal or state laws would need to make it a crime punishable by a $1,000 fine and one year in prison per weapon to possess a firearm. The population would then be given three months to turn in their guns, without penalty.
Hunters would be able to deposit their hunting weapons in a centrally located arsenal, heavily guarded, from which they would be able to withdraw them each hunting season upon presentation of a valid hunting license. The weapons would be required to be redeposited at the end of the season on pain of arrest. When hunters submit a request for their weapons, federal, state, and local checks would be made to establish that they had not been convicted of a violent crime since the last time they withdrew their weapons. In the process, arsenal staff would take at least a quick look at each hunter to try to affirm that he was not obviously unhinged.
It would have to be the case that the term “hunting weapon” did not include anti-tank ordnance, assault weapons, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, or other weapons of war. (more…)
The Kansas City International Airport has added several foot-washing basins in restrooms to accommodate a growing number of Muslim taxicab drivers who requested the facilities to prepare for daily Islamic prayer, WND has learned.
