[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2847539, member: 4235"] If anything like that happens, it will be on the state or local level, as we are a long way from there being enough anti votes in the national legislature to even pass expanded background checks or magazine capacity bans, much less outright confiscation. Even in the states, I think confiscation will not be the route that they take (outside of crazy places like San Fran, where they just passed a law requiring everyone in the city to get rid of any "hi cap" mags in their possession). In any case, it won't be happening in Oklahoma any time soon. The question for most of us will be do we help in other states that are facing a more serious situation? In New York, Connecticut, and Oregon, there is mass disobedience of their new laws, in some cases quite publicly, and there hasn't been hardly any prosecution of the laws. This means the enforcement arms of the State are afraid. This is good -- it means the old 2A still has some of its deterrent effect. Sooner or later though, someone somewhere will call our bluff, and will have to be reminded why they need to be afraid. You say: I say the pertinent question isn't whether I'm willing to die for the RKBA... it's whether any son of a ***** in this country is willing to die trying to deny it to me. It would behoove some folks to remember what John Milton wrote about how even the weakest among our species is capable of killing the strongest, and everyone is vulnerable sometime, somewhere.
