To the Gov thugs you time is comeing !
The governor of Massachusetts, fed up with the "proliferation" of military-style firearms and intolerant of civilian ownership of such threats to his power, declares these "assault weapons" contraband and even outlaws the ammunition for them. When ordinary citizens refuse to turn in either guns or ammunition, the governor declares them "criminals" and dispatches his police force to round up the guns and arrest whoever stands in the way of "law and order."
Several "criminals" catch wind of the operation and make arrangements to warn other civilians, but their "ringleader" is caught and arrested.
In the first raid, the police force confiscates the guns and then moves on, but the "criminals" in the second location have been warned. A "criminal," who escaped roadblocks, has tipped-off firearms owners in time for many to hide their guns and ammunition from the government. Others show up with their "assault rifles." The police action's commander demands that gun-owners surrender, but they refuse. Somebody fires a shot and all hell breaks loose.
In the ensuing fire-fight, the authorities kill eight civilians, but they are out gunned by the "criminals." Before the day is out, the "Rambo" civilians kill 73 and wound nearly 200 of the "G-men."
Sounds like a futuristic scenario following passage of an "assault weapons" ban, doesn't it? Actually, its history! Paul revere was the "criminal ringleader" captured as he sped out of Boston to warn patriots that their own governemnt was trying to subjegate them by seizing their firearms -- their only means to protect their right to self-determination, self protection and their very freedom.
The raid was in Lexington, and at the Concord bridge the Minutemen made their stand. It happened April 19, 1775 -- more than a year before the Declaration of Independence was even written, and is known as the Shot Heard 'Round the World because of the way it changed history. Free men, ordinary citizens with military style weapons of the day, stood together when their government turned rotten and declared honest citizens criminals simply because they owned guns. Civilians - not soldiers - fought first in the American Revolution and went on to invent the United States of America.

most people laugh at me here and call me a crazy, but i can`t get rid of the nagging feeling that in the future me and everyone else here who believe what i believe will be the ones who are looked upon to do something about it.
iv`e seen attitudes change here in 13 short years, the older gun owners whgo remember what it used to be like have a different attitude to the younger ones who are owning guns now, they don`t see anything wrong with having a licence or having all their guns registered[V]..i reckon the day will happen whan they do see a lot wrong with it[:(!] and there won`t be much they can do then...fight and be a crimminal, or comply and be a whinp[xx(]..i`d rather die i think.
