“Has this author been living under a rock?”

Yes. He thinks the American Communists have been talking about gun confiscation for 30 years. Thirty years ago was 1993.

Leftists of any nationality seek to take control. They must take control because no one would go along with their ridiculous ideas willingly. Leftism/communism/socialism must be mandated.

If you must have control, you must get rid of independent thought and freedom of expression. And you must get rid of anyone's ability to resist (and that means guns, knives, sticks, stones, etc.).
