Had a guy show up at my door trying to sell me a security system.....I just showed him my dogs and then my collection..."dude I think I got it covered".:grin:  I wonder about the US military when told to turn on its own with deadly force....hard to fathom that one.

Yeah, that would be a scary thought.

I think there would be a lot of dissension in the ranks if and when ever that order is given.

I will give them my gun....
As soon as I'm outta bullets...
In fact, I'll leave it right there for them while I'm getting another one of a different caliber.

I just can't imagine this happening in America.
We are of a different mindset than those with hundreds or thousands of years of historically relying on a monarchy to protect us.
The frontier was carved out on the premise of self reliance. After rejecting the "crown", the forefathers of our great land promoted what has become the entrauprenerial spirit that is the envy of the world.
Estimates indicate that as many as 1/3 of US homes have a firearm.
I wonder what Sarah Brady did with James Brady's machine gun collection.......

Hillbilly, you got it right. It's not gonna happen like that in this day and age.

I dont think this would ever happen in the USA but..... It is scary to see what has happend in the past in other places Around The World.  You hear all the stories in History class but somehow you become numb to the stories till you see a picture.  It was hard for me to understand why my grandpa would lie about his age and forge papers to join the US  NAVY at 16 1/2 to fight in WW II.  It makes sence if you see pictures like that and think that these Guys are On There Way to your country...!

I don't believe we would turn on our own in USA either but I can fathom us losing our Second Amendment rights thru congressional legislation if we don't stand tough to protect our right to bear arms.

Look what happened to England.....:cry:

I would bet that the people that this  happened to probably said " I don't think that will ever happen in my country" never under estimate the power of a government that is infected with disease "greed and corruption" .

The U.N., now there is an outfit that I would not mind giving an eviction notice to, nice big fat leave my country and don't come back notice.

They pry my guns from my cold dead hands. If they get there before my daughters do.
