Hardly, actually I am doing the complete opposite, I am simply pointing out what would happen to any small group of people that think they could start a civil war against the US. I never said what happened in Waco was right or wrong, just pointing out that our government is not afraid to attack its own people and will do so if needed, especially when it comes to domestic terrorists.
If weapons confiscation were to occur, it wouldn't be a "small group" of people.
Either way, this entire conversation is stupid and I now feel dumber for having been a part of it.
So you're counting on all of these retired cops, vets and hunters (like myself) to rise up against the government so you can own a 30 round clip?
Ladies and gentleman, we have the exact type of delusional thinking that, I believe, should disqualify you from gun ownership.
Banning a 30 round clip will not stop gun violence. In the hood, most murders are done with a .38 special. They should be encouraged to use 30 round clips!
One ban leads to another. If you say ban "military type weapons", have you any idea how some leftie lawyer will use that to ban pistols, shotguns and other weapons commonly used by the military.
The scenario posited by the OP was that large-capacity magazines have been prohibited by law. According to many of the armchair revolutionaries posting in this thread, they would then "make a stand". Most would not, when it came to the point - they would simply obey the law. Some might, but they would soon be arrested and tried.
I thought the conversation was morphing itself into a general weapons confiscation scenario, which would explain the "armchair revolutionary" talk. But, whatever.

Your lack of knowledge of firearms should disqualify you from gun ownership but you don't see us trying to stop you from hunting... assuming that you aren't lying through your teeth as I suspect you are.

Emphatically agreed. Most gun-owners are law-abiding people who just want to be able to hunt or target-shoot or keep the rodent population in check. Most have no interest in owning a 30-round clip, much less dying for the right to do so. A small number of true fanatics might try to resist, but we are in no real danger from a small number of true fanatics.
Would you consider a private citizen defending his property, by force, from a government confiscating his firearms and stripping his 2nd amendment rights a "domestic terrorist"?
I do.
So if the government sends a construction crew to your house with bulldosers by using Eminate domaine are you justified to shot them? Most civilized people would use the courts to argue their case. If you take the redneck route and fire a few shots you wont be alive too long...

Now do you understand?
Didn't say it would.
It may, however, limit the number of deaths in a mass casualty event as it provides some opportunity for intervention.
Furthermore, I can't think of a single legal scenario that would require a 30 round clip. Can you?]
Perhaps if you provide some plausible examples, then, I will understand.
I couldn't possibly come up with a situation where a person in this country might need a high capacity (or 2 taped together) to defend themselves when the police/gov. couldn't or wouldn't.
