It's no secret, many American gun owners are feeling pressure from the government (local, state, and federal) when it comes to the laws associated with gun ownership and the right to carry openly or concealed.

In a discussion I recently read, someone mentioned that the next war will be against gun-owning American citizens. It was a powerful statement, and one that I'm not sure I can disagree with.

What are your thoughts, everyone? Do you feel this claim has merit? Or do you feel it is more paranoia?

MSG Brad Sand, very astute observation; and there's nothing polite 'aboot' ice hockey! Case in point, PO2 Steven Erickson f@&* the Blackhawks, go Wild!

But if the Cannucks do invade, I hope they keep the Molson's flowing freely and replace all Starbucks with a Tony Horton's!

A little known fact, the Canadians did invade the US in the late 70's a surprise attack so well executed that no one noticed...they looked around, saw the mess under the Carter presidency, left their best young hockey players for the coming Olympics and retreated before anyone realized what had happened.

Two different outcomes.

Right wing nuts: We are armed to the teeth, in control of our own destiny, with some risks involved for sure. It won't be easy, it won't be perfect, but we are free.

Left wing nuts: We are weak. We are herded. We are cattle. We answer to our masters and will live a life that the "have's" deem acceptable for the "have nots".

Hillary Clinton said in 2015 that "when I become president, we will do away with the NRA once and for all and institute a handgun ban" That statement doesn't sound like paranoia to me, it sounds like an agenda. She is a big fan of the draconian Australian anti-gun plan. How she plans on circumventing the constitution is another matter. She will be in a position to radically change the balance of the supreme court,and thus the interpretation of the laws of the land. I do believe there is a tipping point to sane people tolerating all of this anti constitutional BS somewhere down the road.

There are approximately 85 million gun owners in the US....at best, we have a 2 million service members and about a million Police.....the numbers are simply not there to take them by force...and by the way...a good portion of the service members and Police are lawful gun owners themselves...so who is going to take them away? Only way it could happen is if it was done willingly. So, to avoid that, make sure you get out and vote!

It's going on, already, but looking back in history, it's far from the first time. The violence angle is just a red herring. Half of the death stats that the anti-gunners quote are from suicides, but, obviously, they can't stop suicides by banning guns. Are they also going to ban tall buildings, ropes, gas ovens, automobiles, tubs, razors, sleeping pills, etc.? Of course not. Another 10% are from cops. Is anyone considering taking weapons away from cops? Not even close. Didn't the DoD just give lots of select-fire M-4s and M-16s to them? How many of the remaining 40% of deaths from gunshots were defensive? We'll never know, because that doesn't fit the narrative.

Every successful dictator has always collected the people's guns or killed those who resisted. They have to manipulate opinion through controlling or subverting the media, they have to limit communications, they have to condition the children through the schools, and they have to control access to healthcare.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Molon Labe. It's better to die on your feet, then to live on your knees. Remember, too: let them come to you. The only fair fight is the one you win.

times surely have changed and it seems that if you are a law abiding conservative person you are being targeted.

Absolutely not. I sincerely wish people would get there news and current events for other/alternate sources and/or entertain opinions from sources that do not necessarily agree with their point of view. There is no war on gun owners. I own guns, my wife owns guns, we both have CCW permits. I am no more worried about the government trying to take my guns than I am the government trying to steal peppers from my garden. Listen to talk radio, or at the least, seek out additional news sources. 90% of what we see on TV is controlled by 6 media corporations. These media companies can easily control the outrage or compassion for any given topic or current event if you let them. That's not conspiracy. That's just fact. (IMO)
