Now while it is true that I don't presently own any scoped rifles, procuring one when need isn't all that difficult. I would further note that amongst my friends and acquaintances, 2 former special forces, a hand full of Marines and a squad of Army veterans from Vietnam to Afghanistan (liberals all), there are quite a few who are far better at war craft than I. So please do not make the same mistake that the confederacy made in 1860 or on the other hand, please do.

PS- There is a huge difference between Billy Bob deer poacher and folks who have been there and back.
The regions of this country that regularly contribute volunteers to the armed forces tend to come from the conservative regions of the country, not the west coast and the northeast, our liberal bastions. Liberals that can shoot are a distinct minority.

I am a liberal. How well I can defend myself, my family and my friends is for me to know and my enemies to find out.

Those intellectual elites in the city, fear the rednecks that can hit a dime at 500 yards, more so than a city slicker that can't hit a target at 30 yards with there 9mm.
Don't have to worry about hittin' a dime at 500 yards, only have to worry about hittin' some redneck tryin' to take my stuff at 10 feet------------NO PROBLEM!

1. Please post a link to any developments concerning taking away semiauto long guns (I own three).

2. Not all military vets live in the boondocks. There are millions of us in the cities. We all qualified with semiauto rifles and could hit targets without the need for a scope.

3. The "us vs them" mindset is a clear indicator of brain poisoning by hate radio. Can you recall when it was that you began to hate Americans?

4. You list your location as Austin. That's a city.

In defense of the OP, the thread is meant to be tongue in cheek, I think. Giving the workin' man his due, and all.

In that spirit, I will share that I have a hard time thinking of gun totin' rednecks leading anything except an a capella chorus of "A Country Boy Can Survive" at a monster truck rally.

Sorry to say, but I'm guessing the annoying latte sippers will rule before and after the apocalypse.

Unless your ammo is being manufactured where you live, there's no need to take your guns away.

Actually, it will be smart conservatives, who realize that not all conservatives are redneck vs. dumb as dirt progressives who only know what they're told by HuffPo and Media Matters.

I think there may be quite a few inner city thugs that own scoped rifles. How else can they guard their drugs?
