Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hello again, We all do what we can...So what I'm suggesting is only that, a suggestion, a thought to consider. I am not sure what I would or will do if things get as dire in CA as they appear to be in CT. Okay here goes, "peaceful civil disobedience." It was embraced by Thoreau, Ghandi, Walesa, MLK Jr.... Regards, Allie Mo PS I know this concept is difficult when guns are the issue as anyone with a gun can be considered a potential threat. It is up to better minds than mine to figure out the means of doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said we need to organize a "Million Man (women too Allie!) March" on the Capitol Building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Howitzers in deed. Back in the day when the constitution was ratified it was not uncommon for cannon to be privately owned. Had they not been would have been rather difficult for Privateers to capture ships. Were it not for prohibition and the NFA 1934 they may well have been legal till 1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Somehow this proposed legislation reminds me of the TV series "Mayberry" where the sheriff played by the late Andy Griffith tell his idiot deputy Barney Fife before he goes on duty "Now remember Barney, one bullet, one bullet." An elected official who thinks citizens are as dangerous and stupid as the Barney Fife character badly needs to lose the next election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
