Default Re: ALERT: Gun Confiscation, Maritial Law and Civil War in America!

One at a time here:

Quote:
As the American general population is known to be the most heavily armed in the world, immediately upon the declaration of Martial Law and the execution by the military of counterinsurgency programs, it has been determined that the BATF, will begin the process of rounding up all rifles, pistols and so-called assault weaponry from the civil population. Lists of gun collectors obtained from firearms dealers, gun magazine subscription lists and other sources will be the basis for these mass confiscations. Gun owners will be supplied documentation by the BATF showing which pieces have been confiscated so that in the future, they will be told, they can recover their weapons when the state of emergency has passed. In actuality, weapons that do not have a high value or are not suitable for arming loyalist police forces, will be destroyed by order
This is not official. I went to the site and you have to buy the complete doc. At the top of the page it says: "Civil insurrection in America and government countermeasures: The official papers" Sounds like they are using fear to persuade people to spend money. I hope you didnt waste yours.

Not a very objective site and if the papers are official you could find them online. I could not find them or references to them. If you have better info on this I'd be interested in seeing it. In the excerpt they show they mention BATF. I used to work there when it was still called that (as a contractor). It has since been divided between the Dept of Treasury and DOJ. BATF does not exist as such anymore.

There is also a move to ignore the weapons and go for the ammunition through the ammunition accountability act:
I read a few of the Bills you mention and they speak of serializing ammunition so it can be easily traced. These are not law yet and will need to be voted on. There is a big lobby against it so we will see. Regardless, they only provide penalties if you own non-coded ammo after a particular date. You can argue that this means the govt will regulate the manufacturing and distribution but that would be stretching the argument. Save that for another thread. A statement was made that they are confiscating weapons now. I still see no evidence. Only conjecture.

If you are worried about guns being taken or ammo distribution being regulated I recommend watching the news portion of the NRA site. Those folks get paid to keep our right to bear (loaded) arms in place.
