Winds of revolution?

Has anyone else noticed that not only the rhetoric but general conversation has changed for the worse since the Newtown shooting? There have always been some crazy ideas coming from the extreme left and right but lately I've noticed that insanity seems to be infecting average citizens as well. People every where are talking rebellion, in bars, restaurants, shoping centers, online news sites, chat rooms, fitness clubs, the list could go on forever. From my observations it appears that the people are angry about health care, taxes, the economy, but mostly its gun rights and all the talk of restrictions and confiscation by the elected officals. Could an attack on the second amendment be the catalist that could launch this great nation into an armed rebellion?

My post directed toward Munster's last comment.

Uhhh, yes there is, but it would require draconian (by our standard) methods. That is what the gun lobby should be concerned about.

Instead of a happy medium that we should all strive to achieve, the NRA insists on un-fettered "rights" that will ultimately be the downfall of our ability to own ANY firearm due to the public pressure exerted against their intransigent position.

In other words, The NRA is creating a situation where it is "all or nothing". They, and their adherents, need to compromise before it gets to that extreme, because in the end, it will be "nothing" if push comes to shove in today's society.

Gun advocates, though very vocal, need to realize, they are in the minority in this country, and need to act accordingly.

munster you ask...Do you really believe that all firearms will be confiscated ??? There isnt any way to do that ! yes eventually, i believe it will happen and there is most certainly a way to accomplish that goal. all that has to occur is the methodology used by those in the last century to disarm their citizens. do not let yourself be lulled into a false sense of security. all the while they tell you they are not taking them, it is occurring under your very nose. the funny part is you are supporting it while we speak but still deny any concerted effort to diminish ones rights. think of this, if i own a fully automatic weapon that has a 30 round clip and fires 500 rounds a minute but i never load it or fire it. the current law only punishes the potential and not the actual. since we all have the potential to commit horrendous crimes, by that logic we all should be locked up. maybe we can start by having you turn yourself in.

freedoms you have or have not? survival should not be the goal in my opinion but the ability to thrive.

good morning bob. i think you may be combining proclamations with orders to arrive at your staring date. the actual first use of the term executive order was in 1862 by lincoln. nonetheless, approx. 13,000 or so exective orders have been issued since. i have googled and used ask. c om but have yet to find any executive order that seeked to limit or modify the constitution or any amendment. in particular, i don't think i have portrayed it as an invention by this administration. do you not view this as an obvious potential end-around the congress by the president to ensure "his" choice of outcomes? whether he uses his orders to proclaim a new holiday, create a new federal agency or paint the white house green is of no concern, but to begin the choosing of winners and losers in the constitution or bill of rights by a single person is indeed troubling. as i asked munster, who politely refused to answer, do you wish to have the president(current or any) choose what rights and fre

Relax . . .

The President would never write an Executive Order for the relocation of any Americans to internment camps like FDR did with EO 9066.

You know, the executive order has been utilized by every President since the 1700's... Yes?

Thousands of times...

Usually they go un-noticed, but occasionally they stir up a controversy with associated exclamations of: Tyranny!, Dictatorship!, (and lately) Communism!

For over 200 years it has been the same old rhetoric about Constitutional desecration when executive orders have been applied... Yet we have managed to survive. This is not some new, evil invention of the Obama administration. It is as much of our method of governing ourselves as the Constitution itself. Relax.

executive order to modify a constitutional right. as a patriot, i would think you would be more protective of our constitution and less supportive of a dictorial move by our elected president, whom serves at our discretion. do you trust him or want him to decide what rights you have or don't have?

munster, forgive me...should i now refer to you as a constitutional liberal democrat-leaning independent? i have never said that you were not patriotic or that you personally did not care about the constitution. i do believe that i was refering to an earlier post of yours where you basically laid all of the countries woes at the feet of the nasty republicans. your point of interpretation..is it the same as the clinton struggle with the interpretation of the word "is" and sexual relations? just for arguments sake, you people allow a single shot rifle to be legal and just one person is murdered. will the next logical argument be that one person is too many and voila....all firearms will be banned and confiscated. take a moment and research ms. feinsteins bill for the depth of the control that is about to be reliquished by non-criminal lawful gun owners should her bill become law. the other issue i have is the ease at which the president uses/expresses the potential to use exec

LTS , you guys seem to strut your "patriotism and belief in the constitution " around like your the only ones who believe in them ! Believe it or not, I believe in them too but our interpretation seems a bit different ! When someone doesnt interpret it the same, doesnt make one any less of an ameican !

how are you doing today munster? you have been rather hard on us consitutional conservative republicans regarding this subject. if anything, i hope we have learned from your parasitic labor unions on how to invade the state capitols and create social discourse when we don't get our way. i even liked the tactics of the democrats that fled their state and obligations when they were not going to get their way. i am having difficulty in finding anything specific in the constitution that guarantees a union verses the non-debatable existence of the 2nd amendment. will firearms become the peanut butter of the adult world? you have been silent during the last four odd years other than to deride us and blame bush and cheney. so i will have to assume that you are in full agreement with whatever this administration does. did you see the sign the democrats left for you? it is for you and all of the democrat lemmings and it says with an arrow..."the cliff this way"..enjoy the drop.

beright, what you said may remain true unless House Joint Resolution 15 (thanks to R1KRA8 for informing) which would repeal the twenty-second article of amendment limiting the number of terms a president may serve as proposed by rep. jose serrano (d-ny15) somehow gets approved.

I saw that also: What the supporters of the second amendment have feared since Obama took office: Joe Biden said yesterday that the president is considering by-passing congress on gun control and will do it by executive order. “President Barack Obama is "determined to take action" against gun violence and is weighing possible executive orders”.

Welcome to Obamaland...............

No more elections for Barry to win: say good bye to the USA you know and love.
