lawildcat Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'm not overreaching at all IMO. Countless times people haves used the line, "from my cold dead hands"....Does that imply they're going to fight until either they (or whomever is coming to do the taking) are dead? I'm certainly not going to let someone just walk into my home and take my guns. In this situation, yes, I have a right to protect myself and my home. If the government is the one trying to take them, see post #41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I sold one to one of my favorite people ever to have graced BGP. No papers, no trail. So, if he decides to whack someone and they come looking for ole spindoc, well, I hope he confesses at some point.:lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 So for my own clarity then, you guys are saying if the government were to ever (won't happen btw) ban guns, you'd comply? Maybe make it difficult or time-consuming for them, but you'd peacefully comply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidinout Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 From the sounds of this thread and others, I've come to the assumption that many of you would kill someone without a second thought that attempted to take your guns. Is that a fair assumption? I dont even know how to respond to that ? I know the internet can be a hard place to converse , but geez . How one can deduce that gun owners would kill someone without a blink of an eye is beyond me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hidinout Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Since we are talking hypothetically I'll add they will never ever know what I own and what I dont . Hypothetically speaking . Will I give up a gun thats on some list that Uncle Sammie says I can't have ? sure just need the address of the dumpster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I would not. So then what would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidinout Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 After all , it worked out great in Germany a few short years ago . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 For the record, I'm simply trying to figure out what the end game would be here. If the government ever passed a Constitutional amendment repealing the 2nd amendment, what would you guys do? Would you peacefully comply? Would you fight with said weapons?

When they left my place they would think they did well, and we would all be happy!:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 So then what would you do? I'd hide them. No chance I'd want a government with an unarmed population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you fight with said weapons?There would be an uprising that would ultimately destroy our population if I had to venture a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so you'd make it difficult and time consuming for them, but you wouldn't physically obstruct them, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Okay, so you'd make it difficult and time consuming for them, but you wouldn't physically obstruct them, correct? I guess that depends. In the event that we stood united as citizens against a forced surrender of said weapons, then yes I'd be a nightmare for some of them from roughly 1000yds. I say that because the only scenario I can fathom would be that the government had unilaterally enacted said act without a vote by the population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MentschTrachtGottLacht Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 In case you missed it, arguments are already being made that the second amendment doesn't apply to today's society. I mean, so little has changed since 1791, I can't imagine an intelligent person being able to have such an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
