I can’t believe people really think that in, say, Pinellas County Florida, where the population is 928,000 and growing daily (not including seasonal rentals) and 600 square miles. Deputies are one day, out of the clear blue sky, going to go door to door and ask people to surrender their guns. What happens if I say “I don’t have any.” What happens if I’m at work? What happens if I don’t answer the door? Legally, they can’t just walk in and search my home, so I guess we’ll just bog down the legal system with Search Warrant requests. Ok, you’re thinking “They’ll just do as they please because they’re Liberals trying to take my guns!” If the world suddenly becomes a 3rd World Country, and laws go out the window, and we no longer have Police Protection of any sort, and suddenly every Deputy in the State of Florida becomes a “Liberal” wanting to strip you of your protective device, do you really want to live in such a world?

Bottom line is……I heard this same crap 4 years ago about this same President, and here we are almost 4 1/2 years later and I still own a gun that no one has come to take from me. People, get a reality check and stop listening to crazy talk. Use the brain God gave you.

Someone above was right. Law Enforcement agencies rely on Federal Grant money to pay for many functions that YOU benefit from daily. If your law enforcement agency wants to reduce manpower, they’ll not take anymore Federal money. If your agency wants to no longer purchase new equipment like guns and computers, your agency will stop applying for Federal Grants. Many agencies hire people specifically to write those Grants to get that money so they may protect you better. If you no longer want those services and you REALLY want your Law Enforcement agency to fight against the Federal Government, ask your Sheriff to Stop Applying for Federal Grants. Sure, some Deputies will be laid off, and they won’t be able to purchase any more guns as they won’t have the funds to do so, but they also won’t be talking out of both sides of their mouth.

Ya Can’t have it both ways.

My father is an officer and he nor many other officers in Escambia County would stoop to collecting personal firearms. Most of them believe it to be a true violation of the constitution and the beginning of socialism.

Most people would not be willing to kill a law enforcement officer. However, most Escambia deputies would agree, any “officer” collecting guns is not a law enforcement officer but a traitor and deserves to be shot on the spot.

Anyone that fails to eliminate this threat of democracy is not living up to the spirit of the Decleration of Independence (and in turn the spirit of America) which states, “[W]henever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute a new government… But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, the throw off such Government and provide new guards for their future security.”

This is just my opinion and the opinion of many deputies. Please excuse any misspellings or grammar mistakes as I did this from my phone.

People need to have a plan to hide weapons and munitions, in the event the constitution is overthrown. The government cannot take that which they cannot detect or locate. Remember to have a bone to give them, so they will leave your property satisfied and move on to the next name and address on their list.

The mind and it’s creativity is a very powerful weapon.

So they no longer take an oath to defend the Constitution? the supreme law of the land?
Me not think so.

It is the duty of all citizens to obey the law just as our military service people are taught there are some orders they are not to obey. It is good that they have stated they intend to do so.

David for faithful public servants

Much like soldiers do not determine what is the right and wrong course of action. They follow orders. So don’t blame our Leo’s for laws created and reviewed by people beyond their control.

So you believe confiscation of personal weapons from American citizens could legitimately be a law enforcement officer’s job?

No, people shouldn’t threaten to kill those depriving them of their civil rights, but they shouldn’t just give up their rights because you think they should either.

Oh, and assuming you are right that 99% would just give up, that would leave one percent of 300 million, or about 3 million. It could get messy even with that many. It would be a lot simpler to simply go after criminals and crazies because then you would have the support of the entire population.

David for respecting the supreme law of the land –
the Constitution — including the Bill of Rights
