The brutal truth about gun control
American Thinker ^ | 19 Dec, 2025 | D. Parker

Here we go again.

It's Groundhog Day for gun control which we see after every tragedy. The ghouls of the gun grabber lobby have come out of the woodwork.

Their repetitive calls for even more restrictions on our common-sense human right to own weapons are illegitimate and unconstitutional.

It's the same playbook passed down from the brown Bolsheviks of the Third Reich that is being used by violent leftists today.

As we said in the headline, the brutal truth about gun control is that it's never meant to work, and that there are several secondary issues that descend from this, starting with the fact that it's only to constrict freedom.

The stark reality is that if they could, the ghouls would have already grabbed our guns.

Or forced us to turn them in, with the additional Orwellian twist in calling it a 'buyback' program, given that they would just be paying us with our own tax dollars, and they never owned our guns anyway.

If they were at all honest, the ghouls of the gun-grabber lobby would openly tell you that none of the old measures were going to work, and they would tell you that none of the new measures – whatever they happen to be – are going to work, either. Feelings and failure drive the system to get to its ultimate goal – gun confiscation eventually.

The ugly truth comes from comparing how gun control is advertised and how it actually works.

Start with so-called "assault weapon" bans.

"brown Bolsheviks of the Third Reich"

Not a History Major, apparently.. The reason the Nazis rose to power was they were only thugs who could successfully fight the Bolshevist thugs on the streets of Germany.

Interestingly, the German Leftists called themselves Antifascists - Antifa. Same name/flag as our current crop of Leftist thugs.

Wrong. I practice gun control at least once a week when I pick up my shotgun, pistol, or rifle.

“Buy back program” … How can an entity “buy back” something it never owned?

Trump needs to get his GOOBERS busy and pass a law making America a sanctuary for firearms. We need them all for Americans to practice for future wars.

Gun control is akin to making it hard for sober people to drive.

In 1994 Dianne Feinstein tried to over turn the 2nd Amendment.

She said at the time “All I needed was the votes’’.

Yes, the Nazis fought the communists, but they also joined together to wreck the Weimar Republic. A lot of communists joined the SA. The joke was they were “beefsteak Nazis”, Brown on the outside and Red on the inside. After the war many Nazis switched sides and worked for the DDR.

Exactly. It is a commie neologism. Like our tax monies ‘invested’ by the government. Bill Clinton coined that one in 1992. It stuck. Used by everyone now, even though it is a lie and misuse of the economic term-of-art.

Nice quote from Demolition Man.

this new 'movement' of ours is more a realization that we just have to take our rights -- not sit around patiently for others to respect them.

Our movement is an echo of the colonists pushing back against the Crown and its micromanagement and tyranny.

We need to just plow ahead and exercise our rights. All of us. There is safety, thus, in numbers.

“Gun control efforts are now confined to blue states.”

You’re dreaming...
