It is almost as if they were waiting for a reason to roll out the next phase.

The proud red state of Tennessee is in the process of adding extra regulations on guns. For some reason firearms instructors will soon have to have an Enhanced Carry Permit but that’s not the only new reg they are trying to pass. The state may be red but the cities are very blue.

Gun buyback programs and tougher gun laws are an adjunct op to anarcho-tyranny.

Fewer 2E people with arms: Easier for criminals to prey on normals.

But going after the perps would be racist or something.

The logic of gun-control is simple: no one, other than the government, really needs a gun. Therefore, all restrictions on guns are acceptable/necessary. It simply doesn’t matter if the restrictions don’t work.

“Start with so-called “assault weapon” bans.”

Gee, let me think. What is an assault weapon? ... Oh I believe Democrats will tell you that any semiautomatic weapon is an assault weapon.

Gun grabbing makes criminals safer, especially those in power.

and in an absolutely remarkable coincidence, the same countries that grabbed the guns....Britain, Canada, Australia, Germany, etc then moved on to censoring free speech, censoring the press, claiming all their political opponents were criminals and dispensing with jury trials after they grabbed the guns.

ALWAYS in that order.

Yes, it truly is amazing but all just a coincidence I’m sure. Those events couldn’t possibly be related. Perish the thought.

It is worse than that.
Well, they have finally thrown off the sheets and are now going after their real target of the 1960s, HANDGUNS. Here are the democrat promises beginning in 1962...

Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.

1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).

1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!

In 1976, the founder of handgun Control Inc told in a New Yorker interview his goal was to make ownership of all handguns “TOTALLY ILLEGAL”.

1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!

1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

1984, They came for the rifles.

1994, they got an 10 year “A-s-s-ault Rifle” ban hoping it would be forever. Instead of turning off the lights and going home they immediately found another target to attack, 50 Cal Rifles “That can bring down an AIRCRAFT!”

Gun owners know they are always up against a stacked deck.

How Josh Sugarman proposed to get rid of semi-auto rifles..

HCI, around 1984, made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed. Then Josh Sugarmann tuned in. This has been the mantra ever since.

“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”

– Josh Sugarmann

If the far left piggies feeding at the U.S. government teat don’t like guns, they need to move to Australia. They’ll be really safe when only the Marxist government has guns.

Here is a brutal truth: You volunteer for slavery when you let gov’mt take away your guns — you give away your human right to self defense. You declare that you are less than human.

Australia has had draconian gun control for decades. No one can own an “assault”: weapon, legal shotguns and sporting guns must be disassembled and under secure lockdown and most Aussies aren’t willing to go through the government hassle of owning a firearm. Despite this two terrorists had no problem obtaining guns to kill 15 people on famous Bondi Beach. Even the police by US standards are not well armed nor particularly well trained as evidenced from the tepid police response to the shootings. Despite this glaring failure of strict gun control to prevent a mass shooting, the likes of Governor “Tampon Tim” Walz are calling for more gun control as are local jurisdictions in Minnesota trying to enact ridiculous gun control ordinances.

Our Founders added the Second Amendment Amendment to prevent the takeover of tyrannical governments. They knew an unarmed populace would be powerless to resist tyranny.

“ As we said in the headline, the brutal truth about gun control is that it's never meant to work…”

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

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.
