We clearly agree about the ultimate goal - unfettered access to firearms. I, for one, would like to be able to walk into a store and be able buy a machinegun without any background check, waiting period, permission slip from my chief employee at the local PD, or payment of $200 for a tax stamp - my grandfathers were able to do this, and there's no reason that I shouldn't be able to, as well. However, it is equally as clear that we disagree regarding the best method of getting to such a situation. Let's just leave it at that.

There is, however, one point that I must respond to in your last post: I will NOT be handing over weapons to anyone. FYI, I am Jewish and lost lots of relatives in the Shoah ("Holocaust" is an improper term that dishonors the victims, but that is a very long story that I won't inflict on you). I am very well aware of what happens to disarmed Jews, and the example of Israel shows what happens when Jews have arms (they survive). I would strongly recommend against anyone, wearing whatever uniform, coming to take my weapons.

You will give them the power to do so over your objections by your vote. You have been convinced by the demonicans that voting for the lesser of two evils is the best you can do and besides at least it isn't harmful.

This is the false premise you proceed from. It is every bit as harmful as if you had signed the order to confiscate the guns because that is where your vote, slowly albeit but inexorably and likely within your lifetime, is allowing them to go.
