Poll question: Would you turn them in?
   
Another poster suggested that in order for guns to be eliminated from American society, Foreign troops...from armies from two countries...would have to run the confiscation program.

That poster then claimed that "Very few civilians would actually put up any significant resistance. Simply the sight of foreign armies in the streets will frighten most into voluntarily surrendering their weaponry."


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...



So the question for DU gun owners is this:

If the soldiers of two foreign armies were roaming the streets in an attempt to confiscate the firearms of ALL American citizens, would you turn them in?

Fairly strait forward.


Note to the mods:

The poster I refer to suggested this I start this poll.

Poll result (48 votes)
yes   (3 votes, 6%)   Vote
no   (45 votes, 94%)   Vote

Go ahead DUmmies and try and turn me in. I will have the last laugh. Big bonfire.

Yes, I would turn in the soldiers' bodies after shooting them for invading American soil.

Seriously, why are DUmmies so inept at basic grammar?

4. The first thing that would happen would be a lot of dead would be Rambo's laying around.

Probably, and that's a good thing.  The tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of patriots and people who are the first to step up and sacrifice their lives for the good of this country should be applauded.

Then the "Cooperate to Survive" would turn in their guns and their neighbors.

And they would be shot as traitors by their gun-owning neighbors.

Then the real resistance would manifest itself. Along the lines of the Underground of Europe during WWII.

Yeah, because that worked out SOOOO well.  Heck, we didn't even need D-Day because of the "real resistance" in Europe during WWII.  Idiot.  Jackass.  Ignorant ****wad.

Any scenario that could possibly lead to this is too effin' stupid to contemplate.

This reinforces what I have written about in the past.  Some of the Little Goons are perpetually distraught with the reality that the USA is superior to all other nations and all other cultures on earth.  The idea of a couple of nations coming in and cutting us down to the size the Little Goons want us to be is like a pleasant dream to them.  In this particular dream, there is the added bonus of making helpless unarmed drones out of the citizens of the USA.  Normal folks would no longer be able to protect themselves from the socialist/communist/Marxist/democrat/Little Goon/etc. crazies.  That would be Utopia!

Everyone has big brass balls on the internet.  However in the cosmically-unlikely event our armed forces were vanquished to the point this was even possible, the outward appearance of cooperation would be much more effective for the long-term prospects of successful resistance than self-identifying as an ethnic cleansing candidate.

I will go with what a great military mind said almost 70 years ago. IIRC: Invasion of the USA would find a rifle behind every blade of grass.

7. I really don't think it would be as difficult as some think
 
Many people would simply turn in their firearms once they were outlawed. Confiscating the remaining firearms could prove to be difficult. Our military and the military of Canada and Mexico would probably have to assist.

Some talk about the Posse Comitatus Act.  And then ...

21. Our military would never go for it.

That is why a foreign military would have to be deployed within our borders to run the confiscation program. Foreign troops have no vested interest in American civilians. Different language, different culture.

22. You seriously think a foreign military should be deployed to the US to confiscate guns from US citizens!? And having them not speak English would be a bonus?

You know how people say to think outside the box? You should probably come back to the box now...

23. If our true aim is a gun free society I am afraid these steps are necessary. Very few civilians would actually put up any significant resistance. Simply the sight of foreign armies in the streets will frighten most into voluntarily surrendering their weaponry.
