What Rights?
Sorry not much posting this weekend. It's in the mid-70s in North Carolina and mostly sunny. You couldn't create better weather for doing something - anything - outside. So I'm outside for the weekend.
However, if you're having bad weather and you're inside, I'll just add to your misery. It's official now, you have no rights. The Bill of Rights is nothing more than some paper some white slave-owners wrote a million years ago, and it doesn't apply to today. I reference this article that points out that guns are being confiscated from LAW ABIDING citizens in UNDAMAGED areas. The lead quote for that article says it all:“The balloon has gone up, the shoe has dropped. Anyone doubting the criminal intentions of the social engineer control-freaks in Washington need only look at middle-class neighborhoods being stormed by black-masked wearing jackboots on a mission to steal guns. This is a precedent setting case for national gun confiscation. This is a clear declaration of war by the Federal Government against the American people. This is exactly how Lexington and Concord started the Revolutionary War in 1775.”
I don't understand why no one cares. Why aren't people revolting? Why are people submitting? Why isn't anyone reporting on the total lack of rights? I haven't even heard a logical reason for the confiscation of firearms from these areas -- this is NOT where looting is going on, this is elsewhere! It started years ago, when the government started taking arms from public housing. Now they're going for the middle class. Well, that might go over in New Orleans, but they're going to have quite a fight if they want MY guns, natural disaster or not.

They'll get my guns when they pry them from my cold dead fingers.
But don't you find it amazing that this gun grab is being done under the full view of a Republican Administration with a Republican controlled House and a Republican controlled Senate. It looks as if the right has been lying even to the right.

They would get a different response in a lot of places. But in the big cities, people have been sheep for generations.

To say this development is effin' unbelievable is putting it mildly. I can only hope this is an isolated incidence of overreaction by idiots functioning onsite to the earlier attacks by the animals who were taking advantage of the disaster in its early stages, not the setting of a national precedent. This will become more evident when we see, after the smoke of the tragedy clears, whether or not those weapons are returned to their owners.

Seth, do you really think there is ANY chance at all that any of those weapons will be returned? I will be completely shocked and utterly amazed if a single weapon is returned -- even ONE.
As the article mentions, I think this is part of an incremental test approach. I don't think it's a super-secret organized conspiracy, just that different people at different times are trying to see what they can get away with. And they're apparently getting away with this one.
This is another reason I don't live in IL where gun owners get yellow stars to wear and are required to wear them (FOID cards).
Any Billy, I don't really find it amazing that it's Republicans not saying anything -- the Republicans have been working for a decade to create such a "big tent" that they've invited everyone inside, and they don't really stand for anything anymore.
Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Do you ever listen to Alex Jones' radio show? I can only take a little at a time. This had me floored. The gun grab didn't necessarily surprise me, but the absolute silence from the Right about it absolutely surprised me.
Even my Dad went crazy when I told him about it, and he's far from conservative. (He actually thought the ACLU would do something about it).
