George W. Bush confiscates guns.

Ok now that I have your attention.
Hypothetical situation, what would you gun owners of the U.S.A prefer? Would you prefer to have Bill Clinton/Al Gore confiscate your guns or would you rather have George W. Bush jr. confiscate your guns?
Would be rather treacherous to have one of "your guys" taking your guns away wouldn't it? I mean anyone can see it coming with a democrat in the oval office, but what about a republican. I'd say that would be the ultimate way for them to betray the Patriotic Gun Owners of America.


Just something to get said Patriotic Gun Owners of America thinking...
 
Anyone who cooperates in confiscation of firearms, either broadly or incrementally, is not one of 'our guys' anyway. It doesn't matter.

However, there is actually a unique risk with GW:

GREATER GUN-RIGHTS THREAT FROM BUSH THAN GORE

GREATER GUN-RIGHTS THREAT FROM BUSH THAN GORE

If Al Gore takes the White House, especially at this late date, his anti-rights proposals for gun owners will meet the stiffest opposition imaginable. The likelihood of new anti-rights laws in that atmosphere will be near zero, as grassroots become mobilized in a way we have never before seen.

However, if Bush wins, enormous pressure will be brought to make him seem moderate, a healer, a coalition builder. Such compromise will usher in all sorts of "reasonable" gun-rights infringements. Many may get the backing of gun-rights organizations that ought to know better. And attempts to push through laws that ENHANCE your rights and infuriate the anti-rights bigots -- like repealing national carry restrictions -- will be dismissed.

Virginia witnessed this in the worst way. Under a democratic Attorney General, every suggestion of infringement was resisted and defeated. When the Republicans took over that office however, practically every gun plan was embraced as moderate and reasonable, significantly increasing the state's restrictive laws <snip>.

It is critical that you let your membership groups know, in no uncertain terms, that falsely labeled "gun-safety" laws which strip your rights are unacceptable. A so-called "good" law, if it incrementally infringes your rights, must be defeated and its supporters brought to disgrace and censure.

I remain optimistic about GW. But, there is a potentially unique risk here. His dad was not helpful to the RKBA.

I'm an Australian citizen, it won't really affect me in any way if RKBA is abolished in the U.S. Not that I want U.S. gun owners to be subjugated by the self declared "elite" of this world. I simply take a deep seated interest in worldly geopolitical affairs. And have plenty of time to think and ponder about such things at work.
And of course vigilance is very demanding.
 
Pushed for time- will be brief--
"W" was my guy- tho not my first choice ( Forbes )
As I learned with my "other guy"- Reagan- getting him in is only 1/2 the battle.
Now the real heavy lifting begins, for all of us.
He will have a million voices raised clamoring for this & that- we have to stay focused and communicate, not only to President-elect Bush, but all our Reps, what we will & will not support.

It's only begun!
Stay strong!
Stay activated!
Get informed, and educate others.
The battle has just been joined!

The demise of RKBA in the US and, along with it, the development of a US gov't answerable to no one and thus a government which will bomb foreign nations or sell them out to other nations definitely DOES AFFECT AUSTRALIA!

If Americans lose the RKBA, then Australian will lose ALL their firearms - right down to geophysical searches for those buried .22 target rifles. Why? Cuz it's American gunowners dragging their feet and setting a resistant example that is keeping the rest of the "developed" countries from leaving you with nothing but a 5cm paring knife.

On a larger scale, Australia needs the US to counter nations like China (do you remember Japan's actions in the 1930's?). Can you go it alone if the US succumbs?

Okay, I'm an arrogant egotistic American.
The world would be better off if we withdrew into our own borders and limited our defensive force to those borders - as was the way it was for our first few decades. Let any nation do anything they want anywhere else and to any nation - we won't interfere. It's your problem, not ours - until it threatens our borders.

Now if we would only develop fusion power so we could tell the oil exporters to go to Hél.
 
Unfortunatly, it does seem to run in the family. Remember, it was Dad that signed the semi-auto import ban into law, and that may well have cost him the election in '92. Lets make sure history isn't repeated, bury the white house and congress with calls, e-mail and letters letting them know how you feel on RKBA.

If you feel that strongly, you can sign a petition I had/have going at http://www.petitiononline.com/monk/petition.html . The letter has gone off to the chairman of the RNC, but a few more signatures won't hurt.

Come January 20th, we have to call every congresscritter and senator as well as the White House every time somebody even mentions gun control. No more compromise. Keep in close touch with Tom Delay's office in Washington or Texas. I think he and Bush may have reached a pretty interesting political relationship, and one that could help us.

Solitar I know what you mean. If the Russian/Chinese alliance was able to destroy the U.S. in the near future I'm sure in their quest to dominate the Pacific region China would simply blackmail and threaten Australia with its growing nuclear arsenal.
However its difficult to gauge how strongly the "elite" will try and dominate Australia, on one hand gun ownership has already been restricted here, then on the other the current Australian government is quite willing to tell the international community ( especially the u.n.) to sod off, then there is the vast amount of mineral wealth, but then most of Australia is desert/arid in climate, but then none of the Asian nations are very close to Australia, but we also have the sea/air gap.....

Who knows. Hopefully my up and coming career in the Australian Army in the field of communications and surveillance will shed some light on the true situation.
