“I would say I’m consistently baffled by this fear of guns by the government.”..
Have you ever considered the number of gun owners in this country? Take Wisconsin for example. Deer hunter numbers are approximately 600,000. Add that number to Michigan, Pennsylvania, and all the other states with similar such numbers. Put together, those same gun owners make up the LARGEST ARMY in the World. Granted, they need proper leadership to organize them but also consider MANY of those same gun owners are military veterans with leadership experience. IF you wished to take total and ultimate control of this country, what would you consider to be the number one obstacle in your way? GUNS and ammunition. IMO, THAT is why this government is so dead set on getting control of ALL guns. Dispute it if you will, I believe it to be correct.
Perhaps I worded it wrong. I know the government fears an armed populace in which they have no control.
Hence the operative word in my sentence “would”. I’m under no illusions as to WHY the government wants to control guns and ammo. If you control the means by which we can defend ourselves, people who have no gumption will cower and cave.
I would like to think I am not a cowering, simpering idiot :)
No dispute coming from me.
