Disarming the public is usually the first step in establishing a dictatorship.
Guns are a tool, a tool that was necessary in the minds of our Founding Fathers to retain the Republic that God gave us through their hands, their blood and their fortunes.

National repentance and revival are required, which will lead to a radical transformation of our schools, intolerance for evil (pornography, so-called same sex marriage, etc.).
Without this, you can kiss America goodbye.
The point is that the police are not your friends, but represent the force that government uses to inflict the will and laws (no matter how insane or illogical) of the government on the populace. So those counting on gun laws not being enforced are in for a mighty rude awakening.
