Gun Control’s Endgame: No Guns for Anyone
RealClear Wire ^ | March 12, 2026 | John R. Lott Jr.

Posted on 03/14/2026 2:51:47 PM PDT by rexthecat

Gun control advocates do not just oppose civilian gun ownership; they also argue that guns in the hands of police make people less safe. In January, a Border Patrol agent in Portland shot and wounded two Venezuelan nationals who belonged to the violent Tren de Aragua gang after they allegedly tried to run agents over with their vehicle. In response, Kris Brown, president of Brady United, tweeted the following: “We don’t know the details behind the shootings of 2 people by a Border Patrol agent in Portland. But I know one thing for certain: whether in the hands of federal officers or everyday Americans, guns do not make us safer. Yet Trump is reshaping our country based on this lie.”

I guess your parents never taught you to search before posting.
This is very common in many ghetto households.

This is just another lie in a long string of lies. The end game is to disarm the populace while making sure govt and a special few are well armed. Liberals are skilled liars never ever to be believed.

what I notice is that every gun killing in many states involves arrests and questions of whether the person SHOULD HAVE DIED.

There seems to be an issue that all wrongdoing and violence must be met with minimal force... whatever that may be?

The first thing, Mr. Lott, is to stop using the terms of the Left. “Advocates” is what liberals use to describe people they agree with. They are “gun control extremists” or “gun grabbers”.

It only works if you comply and give up.

Your guns are for the day they outlaw them. Period.

If people don’t have the guts to use them, then give them to someone who does.

Imagine a mountain of rotting corpses being pushed into a huge open pit with earthmovers.

That’s the consequence of ‘gun control’.

You only need one.

Buying more will put you on a confiscation list.

We don’t keep a record of buyers!

But every database we use keeps track of requests. If X databases get searched in a row, then that can mean only one thing.

Along the lines of the old saying,”Those who beat their swords into plowshares shall plow for those who do not.”

One reason I can think of to buy another gun of a similar type after having one is to be able to buy ammunition of the same type for the off-the-books gun.

The second gun might get confiscated, but the first one will remain unknown and have a supply of ammo.

Try to imagine a world without guns: Timur the Lame constructed pyramids. Of human heads. No guns.

First step: Uninvent something.

Second step: Uninvent guns.

We’ll wait.
