But, supposedly that your Government comes up with a new law which says that every citizen who owns a firearm must register it and a huge database of firearms in the USA is made.
Would that mean that the 2nd amendment of your Constitution would be void?!
Somehow I thought that the Constitution is the highest legal document of a certain country and all the laws have to be in accordance with it.
Unless they change the Constitution, which is not so easy to happen, there should be nothing for you to worry about.
Just my thoughts...we don't have those kind of problems in my country.
I can't really answer your question as to what would happen but my guess is it wouldn't be pretty. I'm sure a lot of people would roll over and go with the flow. But I certainly wouldn't want to be a government agent going out there to confiscate or round up those who didn't. There is a blurb that has gone around the internet here from time to time claiming that Wisconsin alone has 600,000 hunters who own guns. I have no idea what the number in Texas would be but it would be quite substantial. It could get very interesting if it ever came to that.
For the time being though the US House of Representatives is controlled by the Republican party and the Chairman of the Jurisprudence Committee that would have to bring a bill out to the overall house for a vote has already said there will be no bill coming from his committee. Being he's a Texan I tend to take him at his word.
He has stated that there are no laws that would have prevented this incident or incidents like this and he is correct. No one can point at any law and say it would work when the killer violated approximately 20 laws to do his deed.
Those who do not believe in the 2nd Amendment will never stop their quest to disarm America. They were able to get the 'assault weapons ban' passed in 1994 but Congress had the foresight to write the bill with a 10 year sunset. The irony of the whole thing was that the same guns were still manufactured during the ban that were made prior to the ban! This was and is lost on the anti-gunners who claim the ban actually reduced crime. The guns were just manufactured without some of the features named in the bill that legally made them a restricted item. AR15s were still sold. AK47s were still sold. Plus all the guns that were in the hands of the people continued to be sold and traded without restrictions. Millions of high capacity magazines were bought and sold during the ban. No new ones could be made, imported, etc., during the ban. Law enforcement officers could still buy high capacity mags for their weapons with a letterhead that stated the purchase would be for duty use. Those mags were marked that they were for LE use but they could then be sold to civilians when the gun was traded in or the officer sold it to someone after buying a new model.
Also not lost on me is the fact that the Chinese government has come out in favor of the president using the Sandy Hook incident to disarm America. We here fully understand what the Chinese people are subjected to by their Communist leadership. Thanks but no thanks.
Communist Chinese Government Calls For No Delay For U.S. Gun Control
Paul Joseph Watson: The Communist Chinese government, via its state-run media front Xinhua, has called for Americans to be disarmed, arguing that the Sandy Hook school massacre demands “no delay for U.S. gun control.”
Xinhua is virtually the press agency for the Communist Chinese government. The organization, “is subordinate to the State Council and reports to the Communist Party of China’s Propaganda and Public Information Departments.”
In other words, Xinhua represents the pinnacle of Chinese state-run media. Whatever is printed in its editorial pages represents the opinion of the ruling Communist Party leaders.
The article calls on Obama to exploit the tragedy to push his gun control agenda, adding that his lame duck situation represents “the best position to promote it,” while blaming the National Rifle Association for curtailing previous attempts to regulate firearms in the United States.
Noting that after previous mass shootings efforts to impose gun control measures “disappointingly always fail,” the editorial expresses the desire that the “gunman’s cruelty and evil may provide a strong momentum and broader public support for the restart of gun control efforts.”
The article adds that Barack Obama should begin
“to make preparation for a protracted war,” with a massive political cost if he wants to eviscerate the second amendment.
As Brandon Darby points out, “The current Chinese government, the communist People’s Republic of China, was established in a revolution led by Mao Zedong, who killed an estimated 40-70 million people with starvation, executions, and re-education camps.”
Indeed, it was Mao himself who said “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
This should provide a hint as to what happens when tyrants are unleashed upon a disarmed population, and why China’s call to repeal the Second Amendment rings chillingly hollow.
Appearing on the nationally syndicated Alex Jones Show today, former Congressman and NRA board member Bob Barr called for members of Congress to speak out against the Chinese government, expressing his outrage than an authoritarian regime would lecture the United States about the rights of its people.
If you want to get a taste of how a state treats citizens who refuse to submit to big government tyranny yet who are completely disarmed, look no further than China itself.
As we reported earlier this year, a villager in northern China attempting to resist a forced government relocation by remaining on his land was brutally crushed to death by a road flattening truck on the orders of a Chinese government official.
China is routinely rocked by riots staged by residents furious at the arbitrary theft of their land by the state, which under the Communist system claims that the government owns all land and that private property rights are non-existent. However, the state-owned media ensures that news of the protests does not reach a national audience.
Since the state has all the guns, the idea of government thugs arbitrarily kicking people off their own property is a routine occurrence in China. The kind of massive land grabs and forced relocations that occur almost every day in China is not a situation that has yet been visited on America primarily because Americans have the second amendment with which to protect their private property rights.
A law was recently passed in Indiana which legalizes the use of deadly force – including against a police officer – in the event of an unlawful intrusion.
The Pentagon’s recent geopolitical pivot made it clear that China was the primary military threat to the United States. In addition, Chinese military and Communist Party leaders have repeatedly indicated that they are preparing for a future war with the United States. Others have threatened to launch a nuclear attack against America during any potential confrontation over Taiwan.
In this context, it’s noteworthy that Japan’s Admiral Yamamoto refused to invade the United States during world war two because he feared the fact that there “would be a rifle behind every blade of grass,” therefore it’s not surprising that the Communist Chinese regime would also want to see the American people disarmed.
Concerns that China was also interfering in U.S. media were also heard after MGM was forced to delay the re-make of Red Dawn for two years after Chinese state media complained that depicting the invading villains as Chinese “would demonize their state and its citizens.” The bad guys were changed to North Koreans and entire portions of the film had to be revised.
It’s unprecedented to see foreigners like the Communist Chinese and others like Piers Morgan advising Obama on ways to exploit the school shooting in order to disarm the American people.
China can keep its forced relocations, its summary execution of political dissidents, its mobile execution vans, and its draconian police state. Americans will keep their guns, no matter how many times the Communist Chinese government – and all its political allies within America – talk down the second amendment.
