They don’t particularly care about the violent, thuggery types. It does scare the shit out of many, and makes everybody OK (sort of) with an over-reaching police state. So there’s that.
It is the normal, peaceable people, the great mass of citizenry who need to be disarmed, in their view.
Yup.
In reality they want citizens disarmed so they cannot stop lobtard socialist policies from taking more and more away from them, under the color of law.
Socialism is just ‘peaceful robbery by government’.
The inner-city thugs will not oppose socialism. They don't pay taxes, and their relatives benefit from welfare.
It's the conservatives they want to be able to control and suppress. Our being armed is a barrier to their ultimate intentions.
