From WND, Phil Elmore, in the face of New York's threatened gun confiscation, describes why he finally sold all of guns. He notes:
The result [of the proposed gun confiscation laws] is that a few hunting weapons and a few antiquated firearms designs will remain nominally legal, while most of the weapons currently in private hands in the state will be outlawed. Their owners will, with the stroke of a pen, become criminals. What is worse, many of those owners will be faced with a stark choice: Comply or die.(Emphasis in original).
Unless you’ve never purchased a rifle new from a store, unless you’ve never held a New York State pistol permit, there exists a record in this state telling the government that you own guns. In the case of your handguns, your government knows precisely what you own by make, model and serial number. There is no hiding what you have. There is no quiet noncompliance, no silent refusal to turn in such weapons. If you refuse, the state will know. If they know, they will send officials to your door to take them. That is what confiscation is. When that happens, you can either give them up, or you can resist. If you resist, you will die. You will be outmanned and outgunned by the tyrannical state, now and always, because your fellow citizens are cowards.
I've been reading reports from all over the country of gun stores having their inventory of guns and ammunition being being almost completely sold out. I hear the same thing from coworkers, including one coworker who asked a relative in Pennsylvania to try to find a particular shotgun after he couldn't find it locally - the Pennsylvania stores were similarly empty. I've seen stores emptied of their guns and ammunition myself. Tonight, I read a similar report of a sold-out gun store. This writer summarized by observing: "Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone. This isn't a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war." His sentiments are not unique by any stretch, just more succinctly expressed than most.
