Scary, hell yeah. A United States without gun ownership isn't the United States as a lot of folks see it, especially those who might do something aobut it. There are a lot of scary thoughts one could see from it happening, it's frigging scary man. Wrote out a rant of pondered thoughts in five minutes and I who am a peace loving law abiding southern boy got real freaked out by what he thought of at random.
Just a few ideas that give me reason to be afraid of the day that America makes the Bill of Rights illegal, we know there are around 14 million deer hunters in the U.S. and let's not lie, those guys and women who can drop a buck at three-hundred and more yards with a high powered rifle could easily double out as those who drop non-USA forces at three-hundred and more yards. Not all cops or National Guard folks are per se good shooters, seen that plenty enough out at the rifle ranges when I've been. First time I ever fired an AR-15 was from some National Guard guy who just got done with training a couple months before and bought himself one to train with when he wasn't doing his required bits. He fired a few rounds on my Mauser before giving up to a sore shoulder (only got one shot on target at fifty yards) and I fired five rounds at fifty yards and found it incredibly accurate. First time I ever fired the gun the guy looked at me and said he was impressed, it was only like a six inch grouping on the bulls-eye.
Granted when you love to shoot 8mm Mauser(aka 8mm Magnum, bought the ammo cheap and stacked it deep) from standing position out to fifty yards for speed (only one shot to two seconds or around there) the .223 isn't anything amazing. Felt(probably just percieved) more recoil from a .357 magnum out of a lever gun.
He filled me in that most the guys were Northern transplants who grew up in Florida and that what I had done was better than nearly all of them at the end of their training and qualification.
So with exception of those long time self-practicing National Guard guys and relatively few qualified and practiced law enforcement, able to skillfully wield the High Velocity semi and single shot rifles, the guardians of justice and freedom probably don't total more than a million on a good day (probably not a tenth but stick with me here). So maybe we got three million LEOs nation wide, four million National Guard nationwide, and add five million professional combat able military service members, so that's twelve million. I realize the numbers probably aren't even that close but then the point isn't ending here then is it. In Iraq, highly trained U.S. troops, some 160,000 combat troops got quagmired by some 30,000 militants in a country of 35 million. Most the casualities have been from IEDs and mortat attacks as I understand it. Freaks me out.
If guns become illegal, will being American becomes illegal (a question to ponder), then what is it to say that it is impossible for the next Civil War(or Revolution) to spark off. Maybe not a big thing at first but you've got the Ku Klux Klan, Militia types, Militant White Supremecist types, who often times stress firearms proficiency and occassionally engage in drilling and simulating combat scenarios.
Then there's explosives which are far easier to make than firearms, homemade nerve agents are easier to make than firearms, low-grade RPGs and Katusha rockets are probably easier to make(look at Hezbollah) than firemarms, slitting someone's throat while they sleep is probably easier than making a firearm, using a woman as a decoy to lure an armed fascist supporting opprressor to a place of privacy to kill them and take their arms is easier than making a firearm, going to the homes of the armed fascist oppressor supporter and killing them and their families and taking their arms, frightenningly it could be considered by the dangerous and desperate should Americans be stripped of their rights. The list is a long one folks, Washington pays folks to think of these things (a grandfather of mine was employed in one of their think tanks during the 70s) and they have all said that where this is a will there is a way and nothing can stop it, it's just a matter of bodies and ba**s.
Guns get made illegal in this Country, the USA, it's frigging scary folks. What's to stop the 'spark' that sets it all aflame. Maybe I'm looking too far to the fortitude of the American spirit but lets remember, those freedom loving great Americans in Montana talked of recession should the 2nd Amendment be destroyed (let's be real, saying the 2nd Amendment is a collective right is destroying the intended purpose of the 2nd Amendment), and the seccessionist movement might be a small rag tag group of isolated fringe elements but so was Castro, so was Chairman Mao, so was Hitler, so was Stalin.
If the American government ends the 2nd Amendment, do we still have the United States of America or the Fascist States of America, and will everyone hold that government to be a legitimate government that deserves loyalty and law abidment, will everyone not see that government as a threat, something diseased and evil that should be removed from existence. One last frightening thought, Timothy McVeigh was one man with a Uhaul truck and a thousand pounds of fertilizer (yes Ammonium Nitrate but that's just a few visits to Home Depot and the aid of a coffee grinder, as the News[CNN] has shown in previous airings once not all too long where they showed New York detectives refining a thousand pounds of Ammonium nitrate) that killed 168 people, he didn't use any guns and the total cost of the ammonium nitrate was probably still cheaper than a brand new Kimber. What could happen with a thousand Timothy McVeighs walking around, what could happen if they target power grids, key bridges, Hydro-Electric damns (one those damns maybe the one that aids in the supply of most of California's with water), shoot what about ten thousand Timothy McVeighs. It scares me real bad folks real bad.
Well you all try to sleep now and I'm going to pray we never have to a face an America that has made being American illegal because the thought of it downright scares me.
