How far are you willing to go?

I do not disagree.
But should people adocate shooting here if the result of her amendment change would still be the same?

Not one inch more. If it's unconstitutional it's not valid.

In Federalist #46, Madison talks about how the states would might well react to ambitious encroachments by the federal government (and attempts to disarm their citizens can certainly be regarded as an ambitious encroachment):

But ambitious encroachments of the federal government, on the authority of the State governments, would not excite the opposition of a single State, or of a few States only. They would be signals of general alarm. Every government would espouse the common cause. A correspondence would be opened. Plans of resistance would be concerted. One spirit would animate and conduct the whole. The same combinations, in short, would result from an apprehension of the federal, as was produced by the dread of a foreign, yoke; and unless the projected innovations should be voluntarily renounced, the same appeal to a trial of force would be made in the one case as was made in the other.

A trial by force. If a foreign government (foreign to the state) attempts to illegally disarm the citizens of that state, they are doing nothing less than making war upon that state and its citizens. It is ridiculous to be shocked when such an attack results in a violent response.

Violent aggression will naturally be met with violent resistance. To expect anything else would be foolish.

Would you agree that she has the right to advocate for amending the Constitution?

Absolutely, that is the proper way to go about it and completely different than just violating her oath to get what she wants.

 

[blaxshep]

And yet, despite your violent bluster, you have done nothing about it but post on the internet

Nothing violent about it, that is the penalty for treason and I would not be the firing squad now would I?

This will not be a national, all at once affair. It will happen city by city, state by state until only small pockets of resistance exist, likely in the south and midwest. NY and MA seem to be there now, guns are a mere privilege held by a few, all nicely recorded (registered) in gov't databases just like in Canada.

The fight will, eventually, become a one at a time affair, Joe will be "ratted out" by his golf buddy John that got caught with a joint and needed to "give Joe up" to get a plea deal, sayng that Joe has a "secret" gun. Kids will "slip up" at school or the doctor and say that daddy (or mommy) have a gun on the sly. .

Given the fact of the internet and talk radio, I don't think that scenario is correct. Were a liberal government still able to conceal it's actions and/or rely on the liberal MSM for cover, it might play out that way, but with emails and blogs, as soon as they come after someone on the East Coast, everyone on the West Coast will know and take appropriate action. Big problem for a gun confiscation government like Obama's. Americans are not going to sit home and wait. The internet is Paul Revere, who rode to warn Americans that the British were coming to disarm them.

No, you will not

Neither will any of the Delicate Flowers on the right. They'll be too busy posting on the internet to actually do something about the ever-increasing amount of gun safety regs

 

[TurtleDude]

Notice how sangha has parroted the new code words from Mama Feinstein. "Gun safety regs"

How Orwellian. I wonder if Sangha will love Big Brother at the end?

I notice that it's working.

New gun safety regulations are being proposed on an almost daily basis.

Yeah, that is kind of how this nonsense works. Someone comes up with a cute little way to sell drivel and everyone else interested in the same goals are attracted to it like flies.

The important point in your post is that it works.

More gun safety regs will be passed, and aside from angry rants on the internet, the right will do nothing about it

 

[Ikari]

We lost a lot of our rights when the Patriot act was signed, if people are really concerned about rights, we need to repeal that horrendous thing now. Also the NDAA, let's not forget that piece of crap which takes away your right to a fair trial as long as you are deemed a "terrorist".

It is true, and even more reason to hold onto our guns.

There is no such thing as gun safety regs which apparently you missed the memo on. Its mindless dishonest bull**** rhetoric meant to pull people like you in. Does it sell? Oh hell yeah, but then that is kind of the point of such filthy lies.

There are plenty of gun safety regulations, and in the future, there will be more

In the future there will be less.

Congrats. I hope you feel good about yourself for supporting it.

you are right it works

it works to harass honest people which of course is your goal

but if there is an all out war against gun owners-you will whine when you are seen as a high priority target?

I'm glad we can agree that our agenda is working.

And since I''m on their side, what makes you think it will be me, and not you, who is the high priority target?

 

[TurtleDude]

In the future there will be less.

and the way they are going, far less people who exist to harass gun owners such as sangha and others

because I doubt you are what we call a hard target.

Neither are you. No doubt about that

I suspect a marshmellow is a hard target compared to you. Its obvious from your posts you've never been in a real fight

I will take your word for that since i have no experience with either but its fairly obvious to all of us who have been in gun fights or worse that you have no experience in this issue. And since you have never answered as to your experience with firearms, its fair to assume you don't own any either which is expected given your age and where you live.
