There is nothing new about the left’s attempts to erode 2nd amendment rights incrementally. What I find scary is that they appear to be heading for something much more sudden by talk of declaring a “national emergency” which would involve gun confiscation a la the Third Reich.
The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.
And the government thinks they can “regulate” that?
It would impact so many millions of Americans being pulled out of the workforce by imprisonment that that alone would collapse the country. Not to mention they do not have enough body bags.
