Thanked: 2591Looks like this is related to the UN demands that US abandons the second amendment. I believe there were discussions on that on CNN recently.
It sounds like the judge is predicting unrest if people are banned from owning guns.

Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance
Yes, it does.
I read the article; I don't know the judge, so I can't clearly see his motives for making the statement.
I'm not the bit concerned about the UN or it's Blue Helmuts. The UN unleashed in Texas, would be about as effective as a, "Eunuck given a 7 day pass at the Playboy mansion." In recent memory the only thing that the Blue Helmuts seem to accomplish is,,,,,well,,,I can't seem to think of anything positive,,,, a few rapes of the local population seem to occur; then again we know what Texans due to rapists.
The UN would need the "Total" support of the U.S. Military to begin operations on American soil. The U.S. military is not made of "mind-numb" robots. It is not made up of desperate men & women who fear government retaliation for not blindly following orders. Unlike most countries, the U.S. Military it is a Volunteer Army that loves it's family and the American way of life. I have it from a very close "ranking" source, who is in a combat unit, that the idea of turning their weapons on their own country has been discussed many times before. The consensus is, that the majority will not obey such an order.
This is a good time for everyone to prepare for harder times. The recent T.V. series on Doomsday Preppers was, in my opinion, made to mock and entertain through extreme examples. I did pick up a thing or two from each episode. Currently we, in South Florida, are awaiting another hurricane. The wise people are already prepared, the rest will wait in the dark & stand in line for ice when it's over.

Appears to be an example of why some argue for and many states have laws for appointed rather than elected judges. I doubt whether any POTUS, left or right leaning, would ever do or even want to do such a thing. However such extremist talk from officials who need to make impartial, well reasoned, and balanced judgements may alienate middle of the road voters from responsible right wing arguments.

Yep, America got screwed again! LOL
The biggest problems I see are an uneducated electorate, ignorant of their history and ignorant of how the constitution as well as the legislative process works. They sit on their butts and get everything they know from political ads and pundits . Over the years it has become far more polarized, there is no center anymore(which should be based on the constitution our founding document) only extreme leftism which involves ever increasing government and extreme rightism which involves ever increasing govt. I think the last two administrations are easy examples. Meanwhile as the pot is being stirred, the extreme emotionalism overcomes whatever rationality there was and one side blames the other for everything they both have done. Bill Clinton and the Anti Terrorism Act, Georgie Jr and the Patriot Act and now Obama and the NDAA. are very prime examples IMO. In the end all of this will lead to more confusion and anxiety with the public, both sides being played for fools but it will always be the other fools fault until the lid blows off the pot and there is no more room to compromise, who will win? The right wing nationalists or the left wing socialists, and wth is the difference.
The only winner I see is whoever does the mass manipulating and the government apparatus they control.Last edited by nun2sharp; 08-23-2012 at 10:32 PM.
