A Georgia state lawmaker said she didn’t want to take guns away from Americans, but she also supports legislation that would seize guns from Americans.

Likely missing a dictionary and basic common sense, Erica Thomas still expects us to believe that the government isn’t coming for our guns.

During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Thomas claims to not be talking about “taking the guns from law-abiding citizens, I’m talking about a ban on assault rifles. We are not trying to promote a militia. What war are we going at that we need assault rifles?”

But Carlson quotes the bill Thomas herself said she supported, which states,

    “The Georgia Bureau of Investigation shall seize and take possession of any assault weapon, large capacity magazine, armor piercing bullet or incendiary fifty caliber bullet.”

36% of US households have one or more firearms (and that's just those who are honest with survey takers). If just 10% of those households are the ornery, 'from my cold dead hands' stereotype, you are still dealing with millions of people who would be pissed and not comply. That won't be pretty.

When we march on Washington they will need a sat to count the legions.

There is power in numbers, but thinking this through a bit you are right.  Why congregate in one area where Big Brother can seize and confiscate in one swoop?  Lock 'n load and don't retreat.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

And we have a resident Leftist on this board who says and who supports the same exact thing.

He will just call the legislation to 'seize' "reasonable".

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Seize this.


"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Better bring that together like a flash mob dance troupe or the air strikes will be epic.

Don't march, just show up.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Is that the same Google Maps that sends you into the dangerous part of a town you've never been to so that you can save 30 seconds on a trip?

Yep, the same Google Maps that has pretty much every public road imaged down to a street view including all of our homes.

She doesn't want to take away guns, she wants to take away assault rifles. Assuming she means the scary black ones.

Only uppity NRA members own those, whereas a good number of her own constituents own Kel Tec and Chiappa handguns.

The war to keep ourselves free from would-be tyrants like YOU, dear.

That's why we need 'em.
