Come and take it.
History shows the pathway to dictatorships, whether it’s called Bidenism, Communism or Socialism, first comes destroy the Middle Class, in this case by overloading it with millions of illegal aliens they have to support, then comes confiscation of assault weapons, in this case any semiautomatic weapon, then low and behold, people then become slaves to the Government.
Might as well turn them in bullets-first because they are going to kill you anyway.
The so called GOP right in the Senate just passed a red flag law, using the same common sense law euphemisms...
Yes, they are Satan's children. That he will surly consume in due time.
They’re dishonest about everything.
They’re illiterate. So, they have no concept of what occurred April 19, 1775. It’ll take one incident, whereafter no strangers (law enforcement or military) will be able to approach someone’s door without drawing fire!
Far left is a term for communist. Why can’t they be honest? Dishonisty is a communist trademark.
The Democrat/Communist Party cannot be honest about anything lest people see what they’re really up to. Then again, some people need their lives to be controlled by politicians, “experts” and, especially by unelected bureaucrats.
There is no doubt in my mind that gun confiscation would be the point of no return. I will give them the bullets first. I will not give an inch.
Gun confiscation has always been the ultimate Democrat goal.
From 1976.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
*******
And HERE IS how they will do it, one small step at a time.
And to think, in 1962 Thomas J Dodd and Emauel Celler proposed the first federal law on common firearms.
1962; “We don’t want to take away your guns, we ONLY want to register handguns! Rifles and shotguns will not be affected”.
1964: “We only want to register all your guns, not ban them! Only Army surplus guns will be banned.”
1968: “We only want to register your guns, and ban “Saturday Night Specials” and small foreign handguns along with army surplus rifles!” (They got the ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles and handguns and small foreign pistols)
1970: “We only want to ban Saturday night specials! Large handguns and rifles will not be affected!”
1976: “We only want to ban all handguns! Long guns will not be affected!”
1981: “The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns, and they can keep their rifles!”- Lee Grant on GMA
1984: “We must ban “assault Rifles, unsuitable or hunting!”
1989: George Bush bans import of some foreign made “assault rifles”.
1992: Assault rifle ban passed by Clinton.
2000: first calls to ban single shot .50 cal rifles...
2012 calls for MORE bans on semi auto rifles and handguns. If you can’t ban them then go after ammo limits, the magazines and styles of the stocks.
If they can get a ban, and make it stick, on one type of firearm they will always be back for the rest.
And so it continues.
“or their end game on communism
or their end game on perversion
or their end game on culture”
Not to mention the end game on environmentalism.
