Beto comes right out and says it.

The context that these people are lacking is that the Amendments were ratified less than 3 years after the completion of a War where regular citizens (militia) utilized their personally owned weapons to support in a very significant way the War to overthrow a King who was seen as a Tyrant.

The Second Amendment does not protect firearms for the purposes of hunting. The Framers could have never imagined a society where it would have needed to, the only food they got was hunted with firearms. The Second Amendment does not protect a persons right to have a firearm for personal protection. They similarly could never have imagined a society where their personal protection was primarily someone else's responsibility.

The Second Amendment clearly states that for the purposes of maintain the Militia (which in the context of the times were ordinary men and women using their personally owned firearms to fight tyrany when required) , the right to Bear Arms shall not be infringed.

Old ploy that I believe the DNC is a part of. He's pushing the edges as far as possible to the left so that anything than less than confiscation, in the end, will be seen as a relief and acceptable by our side.

It’s how they compromise.

2A is our defense against tyarany, slavery, and genocide. That is how we have to frame it. I want to vomit everytime I hear "you don't need [fill in the blank] to hunt ducks". IRRELEVANT.

Beto spilled the beans...the Democrats for decades have denied confiscation is their goal and what they want...now Beto has overturned their apple cart. Many in the leftist media and the Democrat Party are very unhappy about his admission. We all knew it but they've denied it...now they're afraid of the fallout and how it will hurt them.

In the meantime, I’ve already received multiple upside down echos of his “hell yes I’ll take your guns” in the form of emails from vendors with subject lines like, “Hell yes, we’ll ship you ammo for your AR-15!”

Although Beto has little chance, all the Dems want confiscation. It’s only a matter of time before we get a Dem President.

Or a Congressional super majority...

When that happens there likely be nothing left but the cartridge box. If so, I hope there is a defining moment to persuade people to fight so that we may save this country. If not at least we will have died on our feet (in a pile of brass) rather than continue to live on our knees.

I hope they keep up the confiscation talk forcing other Democratic candidates to try to argue that it's not their agenda. In the 1980s, antigun Democrats were convinced that they'd get handguns banned. Chicago and DC moved forward with this premise creating significant handgun restrictions. It was a long hard slog, but this gave us important SC decisions. Politically they've overreached at the national level too with the "assault weapons" ban in the mid 1990s. After 4 decades of controlling the House of Representatives, Democrats lost it in the subsequent midterm election. Better they strongly express their intentions now before they're in a position to legislate so the gun owning public know where they stand before the election.

I’m sure we’ll go through the courts first. I believe I am willing to die to defend the concept of our republic. I know others are as well. I’m sure it’s not a small number of people. The question is, how many jack-booted thugs are willing to die to take our guns? I bet it’s not a lot. Most LEO/military are on our side.

I agree the courts will be tried but I don’t see them being successful. The dims will ban and then in 5-10 years we get in front of a judge and then just as likely get slapped down. Rinse and repeat at each level of the courts.

A 5-10 year window to have to hide your gun or go to prison before finding out that the ban gets reversed isn't a win.
The next question would be>>>
If caught with a banned ar15 and going to prison as a felon and having the ban struck down, would you be immediately released from prison? (I wouldn't think so)

That would be a dem victory.

This.

IMO, we have about the traditional 3% of Civilian Patriots willing to lay it ALL out there... but probably another 20% willing to support with action, in addition to the LEO/MIL

Dumb question...

Who just got their 150th Federal Judge confirmed and expects to get to 200 by this time next year?

Take your time.

I have a little more hope. We have seen that the courts are not immune to public opinion. Mass non-compliance in conjunction with a strong Constitutional argument and a willingness to invoke the 2A may be very convincing. Almost all the gun guys I know are extremely peaceful. Why provoke an incredible amount of violence? They will be hard pressed to paint us as terrorists.

Not that I’m looking for it. Believe me I’m not but I’m not sure you’ll ever say it’s time.

Until I see a pattern of solid 2A decisions, I won’t hold my breath.

If Beta Male feels threatened by a Tweet what's does he think he's going to do when facing Putin or Kim Dung Flung? Soil himself? That's a rhetorical question because he just sealed his fate as far as running for POTUS, Not that he has a shot for more than 15 seconds any way.
