            The last time I had a history class and we studied the Civil War, it was the southern states that seceded. It was an issue of slavery and the southern way of life vs. the northern way of life. Didn't have anything to do with Bible thumpers.

               To this day it depends on who yo ask. A southerner would typically refer to it as the war between the states saying it was a dispute over state's rights (for the continuation to legally own slaves for the southern agricultural states). It was viewed as a second revolutionary war. Times were different where a person was loyal to their respective state, not a nation as a whole. The North saw the secession as a rebellion and resorted to force to unite the nation. Since then it is unconstitutional for a state to secede from the union. So as it stands, if the Federal Government issues a law and a state refuses to implement it, the feds will come down and do it for them. They've done it before. The most famous was integrating black with whites students in the early 60's. Most of those former Confederate states are known as the Bible belt.

                  I was raised in the north and when I took history in school, we got the Civil War from the viewpoint of the northern states. When I moved to Texas and took history in college, I got the viewpoint from the south. It did give me a well rounded perspective from both sides.
                  
                  As far as the Confederate states being in the Bible belt, that still has nothing to do with the Civil War.
                  
                  I am aware that Federal law supersedes state law. I learned that in school, too. I'm also aware that our corrupt government can pass just about any kind of law it wants to and the public can either like it or not. Obama is using his executive order privileges left and right.

      Here, it's not. In the US, there is a very large black market, which revolves mostly around illegal drugs. If guns were banned in the US, then guns would become even more of a black market commodity, and bad people would still have access to them. Citizens just wouldn't be able to defend themselves.

            That is correct, the communist militias in Germany particularly were armed and very strong they failed to stop the Nazis because Hitler used the full force of the German army against them with no regard for human life and those are grossly unfair odds not because they didn't have guns, previous to Hitler taking power clashes between Nazi's and communists were common and I believe hundreds if not thousands were killed in street battles between the two.

            Josak, a true Christian would not be in prison for harming someone in the first place. A true Christian follows the Ten Commandments, so would not be in prison. Some Christians in other countries are imprisoned for not retracting their faith. Many so-called Christians in prison become true Christians while in Prison.

I didn't say a word about people reading the Bible, however, I do believe if more people did and actually believed what they read, there would be a lot less strife in this country.
                  
                  I also take issue with your statement that "Christians are still Christians if they do bad things, they are just bad Christians." Yes, they are Christians even if they do bad things but if they repent and accept Christ, they are not bad Christians.

I have not accepted jesus and yet I felt completely loved and accepted of God.  Most of the world is non christian and I believe from that experience that god holds only love for all of us, but if we do bad things we are still bad

In Slovakia there is prison in city of Leopoldov with big heavy criminals. My friend from Bratislava, he is electronic Engineer. He became Christian (not formal). He is Bible student and revised the Bible (polished old Slovak language). He goes to Leopoldov teaching and sharing for years weekly on his own expenses. Prisons criminals in hundreds came to Jesus. They study Bibles personally and in groups. Now he called me and said there is revival in this prison. Prisoner’s life is completely changing. It made me very happy. But now on temporary basis the officials forbid him to go to prison. You can figure why. They imitate America in bad way but we are imitating Europe in socialism. Does it make any sense?  $40 years when I came to his country it was different country.  There were prayers in the schools, Bibles in libraries until Mrs. O'Hare came and sued government to stop religious activity in the school and public places. They took Ten Commandment out. What do you expect, Paul?

             Wow. You must visit some weird sites to find stuff like that. I'm not judging you or anything. To each his own. I'm just not into that sort of thing.

          Shadesbreath, your statements about what guns will be needed remind me of zombie movies with snipers on rooftops.  But sooner or later someone runs out of bullets and gets bitten. The only variation is whether or  not it's on the neck.

             Would that be a good reason to run out in the street and find a 'zombie' to kill us?
             
             Shades has spoken the truth, America is heading for dictatorial fascist/socialist control, or civil war.
             
             When the system breaks down, the weak get killed in vast numbers either piece mill or corporately, so survival relies upon being strong enough to make the enemy chose another victim.
             
             Yes you may end up being caught in the killing fields, but you may also just manage to survive to see normality restored, and would certainly be constructively assisting to defeat the bad guys more than the appeasers (now exterminated) would have been.

             Hah, perhaps you're right. However, as much fun as zombie stories are, there is no historical precedent for them, so, I'm willing to be hopeful that we never actually have a world filled with undead.
             
             Sadly, on the other hand, history is absolutely full of societies forming (democracies, communists, monarchies, etc.) and, in time, being corrupted by the powerful and wealthy who can never get enough, and then, always, without exception anywhere in history, it gets ugly and breaks down. The founding fathers, in putting together the 2nd Amendment, understood this perfectly, and so set in place safeguards. I admit that in their time, more people read than do in our time, so this was not as controversial idea as history was widely understood (hence the nation they created). Sadly, now people get their news from YouTube, Comedy Central, Facebook and a zillion other channels, mainstream and otherwise, that have completely cast aside any desire for truth and problem solving in favor of ratings, clicks or popularity amongst the "choir" to whom they preach.

    I don't see the UN resolution as a threat. Obama has already said he wouldn't sign it if it contained language that controlled Americans and their guns.
    
    If - by the odd chance he did so, however, Congress would boot it out.
    
    It that failed - SCOTUS would boot it out.
    
    Before a popular revolution however....who can say?

    If there is a revolution over gun rights, it will only prove how much more selfish people have become over their personal property. I always say, hey you can keep all the guns you want, just good luck trying to fire them without the bullets. I say pass a law banning the bullets, but, that will NEVER happen, because there are too many hands in the guns and ammo cookie jar. You can walk into any Walmart and buy bullets, guns, whatever you need to shoot stuff, or whatever you need to blow stuff up. And all you need is an ID, where states are trying to lower the age limit to get younger people to be able to afford to buy it. Almost as if anyone with a pulse and a credit card has the right to shoot and kill.
    
    Guns are dangerous, reguardless of what anyone thinks. And more restrictions are needed. I say ban credit card sales of guns, and make the selfish bastards pay cash, raise the age limit, and allow the state to charge out the ass for the permits! We'll solve the deficit real quick.

          Darn good idea.  Charge heaps for the privilege and get the debt down to 2 trillion instead of 3. (Or is it 4 now?)  Charge a yearly registration fee per gun, just like car registration. Plus don't forget the eye test to make sure you can see the target.
          New jobs for heaps of people right there.

             Then again, I suppose it might be worth willing becoming a police state if we could create more jobs. Maybe.

    An overture toward potential gun controls has been already introduced under certain "regulations" and executive orders depriving of  freedom and liberties.
    USA is rapidly entering into socialistic - marxistic ideology, which needs to be prevented before more are " bought" to become indifferent .
    Once the private sector is robbed  of dignity to own and " build by yourself "  thus creating personal prosperity , the next step is massive government  support  unproductive elements which is always a solid base  for conflict within the country.
    " Occupation " is first sign of dictatorship..
    Wake up honest and sober minded people!

       Michael, isn't the private sector already being robbed, overidden by rough shot insurance companies and bankers?  The private sector is owned by the 1%, by corporate America.  The Government is but a puppet.  If you want to change your world, forget the guns, start talking with your wallet and stop buying the stuff made by the 1% - coco cola, pepsi, McDonalds and all that shitty processed food.  And me thinks the war mongering industry included in that 1% has a huge vested interest in y'all buying heaps of guns and ammo.  It helps buy the CEOs more holidays and beach front homes.  They really don't care if you shoot each other's heads off as long as they get their profits.
       
       There's no way America will be a communist socialist country unless the Chinese take it over.  At the moment there really isn't any democracy.  Your elections are determined by who can be bought for what price.   You don't live in the land of the free - it's very bloody expensive.

    This forum as any others transmits a 100% correct opinions . Everybody is proven to be  right in a sense...
    That's how far goes what "we " have to say.
    
    In my humble opinion the USA has
    been  a " safe-harbor" fo me and my family ; running for life from a communistic country, on " special" visa granted...   soon realizing that "evil"  have many different faces; "good" has only one"
    
    As you've said :" we don't live in the land of free..."
         
    A genuine " free " is an inner state...
