how do they think they can get rid of 300+million guns?
Because they DO want to :)
I truly accept your observation as valid; I just wanted to add the motivational aspects.
But President Trump wants to get rid of them, and currently doing so.
Illegal drugs, I agree, we have people who make big money who are connected to the government to keep the drug trade going.
But elimination 300+ million guns will not be easy. Even if they did, I bet 100 thousand new guns, would be made the next day to replace them. Criminals don’t care and anything can be bought on the black market.
And these criminals with guns will wield even more power, since law abiding citizens would be guaranteed to be disarmed.
I agree with everything everyone has said, I got a lot responses and I won’t be able to reply to everyone. I was more looking at this as an logistics issue.
I think the two are related: the massive importation of non-US people, combined with non-enforcement of immigration law is an attempt to destroy US culture: things like acceptance of guns, the distrust/leeriness of authority (this is the reason for the Bill of Rights and the restrictions it places on federal government), Constitutionalism, and the idea that the government should not be corrupt — just look at the amount of peoples from countries where corruption is not only common but expected! Just look at how nationalistic pride
is so despised!
I think Mao was absolutely right when he said political power comes from the barrel of a gun
— George Washington and the rest of the founders proved that — and [IMO] it is because of this that the ruling elite are desperate to disarm the general public. (Heck, there's quotes of politicians pretty much saying if they knew what we were doing, they'd hang us.
)
