From your cold dead hands?
« on: August 01, 2012, 01:12:24 PM »
This Iraqi Vet seems to think he has figured out how wide spread gun confiscation will turn out in America.

Perhaps he's just playing devils advocate, who knows, but one things for sure, he's sure ruffled a few feathers. :-s

NSFW do to language.

It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.

 He has some good points. If you look at the big picture of the future including hyper inflation, drought, unemployment Ect. Many will give up their arms with no fight at all. If you are poised with a choice of feeding your children or keeping your arms most will choose to eat. On the other hand many others have lived a pretty long life and will put up a fight, not for themselves but for future generations.

There is an option 4 in his little outcome matrix...
Civil War, Revolution, Uprising of the People, whatever you want to call it.
That is the resolve that should be taken from the Cold dead hand metaphor... It was never meant to be taken literally.

The guy is an idiot.

BTW:His speech pattern sounds like a really bad spoof of Bill Shatner making fun of himself.

Historians figure that at most 3% of the Colonial population actually took up arms.

Another statistic used a lot in American Revolution history classes is that only 1/3 of the colonial population supported the cause. 1/3 road the fence, while the the other 2/3 of the population were about evenly split along loyalist and revolutionary line. Interestingly enough, this is almost the modern day break down between self identified liberals, independents, and conservatives.

In short, small groups of dedicated people can control and or change historical events.

Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave.

There are clearly a LOT of people, for whom NOTHING is worth dying for.  The liberal education system, schools, teachers, LEO etc all teach the same thing.  Cooperate and call 911 !

If you think having your means of defense confiscated will hurt, just wait until the aftermath when criminals run rampant with impunity....  That will hurt a lot more, a lot longer and in a lot of different ways.  The citizens of many of our major cities have been experiencing this now for decades.

This piece was written by a liberal who has changed her views after she witness how things "went south" after the end of apartheid in South Africa.  But she had an out, a British Passport and social benefits to fall back on, which the "non elites" do not.  You have to imagine the bulk of the Dutch settlers enduring her fate 24/7/365 until they have been "exterminated" by the local population.

There's twelve minutes of my life I'll never get back...
I wish, fervently, that this moron's mom had gotten him a chemistry set instead of a Mr. Microphone for Christmas when he was a kid...
Nice to hear that he knows what we're all going to do, he might want to parlay his ability to predict the future into investment decisions instead of self important ranting on YouTube.

There's nothing as compelling as a bad idea whose time has come.

And being stocked by OO isn't a bad thing at all; his 'seconds' are better than a lot of 'firsts' when it comes to rifles...heh heh

Yeah, it is tough to take a man seriously when he spends more time shaving his arms than he does rehearsing his speech.

He simply loves the sound of his own voice.

He could have made that statement in under 3 minutes, but instead he just kept saying the same things over and over again in different permutations.

In short, he believes that the government will come for only one gun owner at a time, and therefore their will, will simply be done. He doesn't think for a second that this could be a massive seizure operation that could spark a serious problem.
