if, someday, a government official came to your door and demanded your gun

[taxidriver]

would you

a)give it/them to he/she/them

b)"Not have any guns"

C)shoot their ass

this thread was inspired by some other Duer saying thus about the 'assault weapons' ban : "you dont need them, they should be taken off the streets...etc."

1. I don't have one

But I'd tell them to fuck off anyway, based solely on principle.

2. Oh dear

I thought this was Democratic Underground.

Why are we having a thread on the fevered dreams of the NRA?

[taxidriver]

4. i also started this because of talk around here about martial law and shit

guns arent just a wingnut issue anymore, mr. piper.

but i did make it a little provocative, for the purpose of grabbing attention and getting people to think about it.

[Sandpiper]

7. This situation would be every gun nut's fantasy

Their chance to go out guns a blazin' and have it pried from "their cold dead hands."

[taxidriver]

10. that may be true. but it could be a reality sooner than we think.

and it might not just be fundies getting searched.

13. Yep, Ever hear of a hypothetical wet dream.

11. Too too funny...

"guns arent just a wingnut issue anymore"
Sure they are....and they're getting even wingier and nuttier....

3. I would simply lie...

and tell them that i sold them all years ago...

Shooting their ass would land me in jail instantly. Hiding my guns and lying about owning them would at least buy some time to strategize.

5. No guns here ,Ossifer,

he said.

[ohiosmith]

6. Give it to him/her.....bullets first!

[Speck Tater]

8. I would not have any guns THAT THEY COULD FIND.

Long before that happened I think I would have seen it coming, or at least suspected it enough in advance to provide for deviously clever hiding places for any guns I owned.

(For the record, I would never hunt, and I don't currently own any guns, but in years past I very much enjoyed competative target shooting, and owned a number of target pistols and rifles. I believe I have the right to do so again if I so desire.)

9. and then if the official turned into a magic swan

and carried you away west of the sun and east of the moon, you could live happily ever after....

[taxidriver]

12. i'd prefer a magical princess.

14. Locking

discussion of the shooting the asses of govt officials is not the purpose fo this board. Suppose there are places on the internet where you can while away the day discussing such - the gun forum at DU is not one.
