What happened to search warrants?

Given how many rifles are out there, given that many would not register them the prison and legal system would be overwhelmed.

Instantly upon law passing thousands upon thousands of what was law abiding people with no ill intentions would be a criminal of the state
which would mean that millions of gun owners would not register any firearms at all with the feds or state.

try to criminalize that against the millions of citizens.

Obsession with conspiracy theories is common stuff with many mass shooters.

when in actuality it is true. having been in the military, and most military believe in and following the Constitution before following illegal orders, and cops themselves wont enforce it either as they know they will be in the line of fire. that leaves the civilian arm of the feds.

nope, having been in combat before, I have no desire to kill another human being again. but I wont step back from the situation if caught in it either. if forced into the situation, I will defend myself if need be.

All this over proposed laws that have no intent to confiscate any weapons.



Right wing loon fantasy land. They should open a new theme park where you can bring your AR15 and shoot robotic ATF agents who come to your POS falling down house in Southern Ohio to take your guns because you are such a threat to the government.


Hilarious.

Who besides those who share a common conspiracy theory has said anything about confiscating weapons? Really, think about this.

I am a woman and generally more vulnerable to all sorts of carp. I do not fear a home invasion by anyone. I don't fear being in the wrong place at the wong time. I don't fear foreign invasions. I don't believe in ghosts or zombies. If the Police /Feds wanted to search my home, I would consent., make coffee and ask who wants to buy/sell a home.

The point of this is, I have made the choice to not live in fear of things that in all likeliood will never happen. I do however, have a nice stockpile of canned corn I got on sale.

Seriously? You wouldnt ask to see a warrant? You dont care about what probable cause was used to justify obtaining a warrant?

Good to see you're willing to give up not just the 2nd Amendment, but the 4th as well.

My husband is a Viet Nam Vet and saw combat.
He made a different choice.
