When they tell you what they plan to do, you should believe them.

The 2A is common sense. Gun control is not.

I devoutly wish they would ACTUALLY try direct confiscation of firearms from Americans. I want to watch how far down the FIRST block a deputy or police officer gets in that attempted gun roundup.

Why would a law enforcement officer want to die trying to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens who have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms?

Most cops want to go home after a shift and not end up in a body bag.

Yeah, I remember when a lot of gun owners got pissed at Bush #1, and decided to sit out the 1992 election “just to show him”. They sure “showed him” all right, and got the Clinton/Democrat assault weapon & magazine ban for their efforts. Hope history doesn’t repeat itself this year, but I’m seeing more than a few dunces on the gun forums talking about not voting this fall because “Trump did or didn’t [fill-in-the-blank]!!!”...

All they need to do to take our guns is to eliminate the filibuster.

They won’t have to come for the guns, they’ll go after the ammunition, without the ammunition, guns are just paperweights.

Democrats ARE the killers and criminals - check out the politics of any prison or jail... Time for Republicans to hire a few ‘poll takers’ - they can study the reality of democrat voters - all of ‘em - not just’ the elite’ primary voters.

We have known they were coming for the guns since 1962.
The lies we have been told over the years...

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!”
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! “ Rifles will not be affected!”
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

1984, they came for the rifles.
1988,Josh Sugarmann, of the National Council to Ban Handguns tells how to ban rifles.

“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
Gun owners now know that any time we negotiate with those who want to ban guns, we are up against a stacked deck.

How Nelson “Pete” Shields, (founder of Handgun control Inc) said to do it back in 1976! Now it is applied to rifles!

Promises from the past. I kept records.
From 1976.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”{Now rifles and shotguns.}
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.

“Leftists are no longer hiding their plans to take your guns if they ever gain power.”

You know how many people in this country, at this point, really wish they’d try it?

5000 years of human history informs me that the relative safety I enjoy in America is a complete rarity. I simply will -not- disarm. 50 generations of my ancestors are screaming at me not to disarm and to have food set aside. Millions of Nazi dead victims and the dead from communist depredations ranging from Siberia to Cambodia to Poland to Africa are imploring me to just keep my guns against that day…

The revolutionary socialists in America would kill us in a ditch tomorrow if they thought they could get away with it. And the global leaders would fully approve.

So, a whole suite of new gun control laws, none of which will be enforced against blacks, the Democrats’ favorite pets?

Ja’Quavious Washington and Ty’Quando Jackson, both repeat felons, can shamelessly flash their full-auto Glock switches on TikTok videos in violation of the 1934 NFA but catch lily-white me with a shotgun barrel an 1/8th of an inch too short and I’m doing time in a federal penitentiary.

Basically, more of this?

The gun-grabber ghouls of the left have always played a little game incrementally demanding more control over a commonsense and constitutional civil right.

It saddens me when someone uses the terminology of the left. “Common sense” is a b.s. weasel word thrown around by the gun grabbers. Anyone opposed to them should NEVER use their b.s. terminology. The 2nd Amendment has NOTHING to do with “common sense”. Using that term in its defense is giving the gun grabbers and opening.
