People Who Worry Activists Want To Take Guns Away Aren’t Paranoid; They’re Just Listening
The Federalist ^ | March 28, 2018 | Mary Katharine Ham

Posted on 03/28/2018 3:35:46 PM PDT by RevelationDavid

We hear it ad nauseum every gun-control debate: “No one is talking about taking away your guns. Stop being so paranoid!” But one of the more admirable traits of this post-Parkland round of gun-control debate is activists have been willing to be quite honest about their desire to take drastic measures to take guns away from their fellow Americans.

Just this week, a former Supreme Court justice wrote an op-ed in the pages of The New York Times suggesting we should repeal the Second Amendment as a “more effective and more lasting reform” to “minimize the risk of mass killings of schoolchildren and others in our society.” Just to prevent any misunderstanding of his intent, the op-ed was headlined, “John Paul Stevens: Repeal the Second Amendment.”

There are the 39 percent of Democrats polled who would support repealing the Second Amendment.

That would make a great NRA rally t-shirt.

“You want my guns.”

“I’m not paranoid...

...I’m listening.”

The strict intent of the second amendment was to keep an armed public to keep government in check, honest, and polite. Good Lord! They are none of those things now when we are armed. I can’t imagine the carnage inflicted on us unarmed?!

It’s been an Alinskyite tactic of the left for decades to accuse conservatives of being “paranoid” simply for pointing out the things that leftists openly say they plan to do.

“No one is talking about taking away your guns. Stop being so paranoid!”.......

Didn’t I read that they have started taking guns in Florida this past week?

If the bastards want to hear, see and feel “paranoid”, they can start right here. I may not last long but I won’t go alone. There will be will millions like me.

They are taking guns in FL, CA, & other libtard states using newly passed GVRO laws which let any disgruntled acquaintance denounce a gun owner to the police as a danger to himself & others. Just like in the USSR.

Liberal judge rubber stamps a warrant & the thing is done.

Anybody who wants to void the 2A ought to have their names and addresses

published. The crooks know that they have a gun free zone available for picking.

See what they think when they become a potential target and they will change

their viewpoint. Then they may see the danger of bigger crooks potentially in

charge of the government.

What about those smarmy liberal pr!cks who publish the names & addresses of CCW holders? “Public’s right to know!”, they sneer.

Of course, they assume CCW folks are Neanderthals who don’t know how to google streetview their own names, addresses, house views, etc.

And they scream like stuck pigs when turnabout happens.
