Also general population control/social engineering - can't have all the individuals out there can we?
“Also general population control/social engineering...”
I was thinking that it is a way to add more folks to the unemployment roles. And one would think a government would NOT want that. Unless of course by having them on the dole then the government has more control of more people, more control of the money, more power, etc.
This is just one aspect of the general idea that “if they outlaw everything, we will all be criminals”.
The Socialist Masters are constantly on the lookout for new ways to tighten the chains the Slave Population (ie, us).
Of course the 2nd amendment is one of the main targets of this latest refinement of the “outlaw everything” strategy.
