Because the real goal is registration. They’ll use any sneak-around they can, because they know if the come out and state their objectives clearly, they’ll lose.
The true gaol is CONFISCATION! The Executive Orders from Obumbum is a “Data Mining” operation to locate and then place in the Feds new computer for tracking Americans Firearms and eventually CONFISCATION under another contrived crises.
The Feds cannot confiscate a firearm until they first find out where it is, what kind it is, and who has possession of it! The latest liberal fascist move is nothing more than an intelligence operation designed to locate American firearms for confiscation. Yesterday it was “machine guns,” then handguns had to have a serial number to prevent crime, today it is “semiautomatic” (assault) rifles with “military style” features and large capacity magazines, tomorrow it will be any firearm with a caliber of more that .22 or some thing similar. The idea is to get firearms out of the hands of Americans, liberals know they do that, they also have to find all other firearms and confiscate them or any true gun prohibition will be meaningless if all Americans have to do is go to their closets and pull out another firearm!
Americans had better wrap their heads around what is really going on or they will find out way too late to do anything about it!
Gun confiscation = making Americans subjects to their government!
““Do you really think we want those laws observed?” Said Dr. Ferris. We want them broken. You better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against - then you’ll know this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that’s the system Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
