Bad guys commit crimes.
In response bad politicians take guns from good people.
We’ve been hearing the phrase “reasonable gun control” for decades now - and it’s always, ALWAYS liberal code for elimination of the Second Amendment and all private ownership of firearms.
They need gun control because their goal is to take away all of our other rights and let the government run everyone’s life in any way they think best. The founders gave us the 2a to prevent that so Ds have to get rid of the 2a.
Ds don’t care about crime - only the votes of both criminals and victims. The more a city is a victim of crime, the more they depend on government form many reasons (e.g. from simple fear to fewer businesses/jobs in high crime areas) and vote D. Taking care of criminals (less police, lighter sentences) makes criminals happy and increases crime and thus D power.
And terrorism is “an opportunity that they can’t let go to waste”. After the Pulse shooting, Ds didn’t say “we must stop radical Muslims”. They said “we must stop guns”.
Same thing happened in this country. In 1976, Canada formally removed the death penalty from the Criminal Code but then brought in Firearms Acquisition Certificates, banned fully automatic firearms, and no longer allowed personal protection as a reason to acquire a Restricted Weapons Permit (needed for handguns). In 1994, the long gun registry was brought out by the Liberals as another distraction to it’s Young Offenders Act when a few high profile shooting incidents involving teenagers took place.
Of course Hillary and the rest of the Democrats will never “repeal” the 2nd Amd. They’ll just regulate it out of its usefulness.
“There are 310 million firearms in the United States.”

Other than that, he hits the nail on the head. Hillary has favorably mentioned “Australian-style gun control” on several occasions. Well, guess what boys and girls, Australia CONFISCATED millions of guns in the aftermath of a bad massacre in the mid-’90s. Of course, crime has skyrocketed, because criminals ... [drumroll] ... don’t obey the law (cue Gomer Pyle).
Gun control is the 3rd rail of politics in this country, and far more. The trigger for the Revolution, the battles at Lexington and Concord, was a gun grab by the British military governor of Massachusetts. The 2nd Amendment was written by men who had fought and/or led the Revolution, and who were afraid that the powerful central government that they were creating would someday careen out of control. They wanted the American people to have the tools in their hands, and the training to use those tools, if our own government became a tyranny sometime in the future. It was written specifically to place a check on the power of politicians like Obama and Clinton.
Recently watched the documentary “Cartel Land”. When a vigilante group started growing throwing out the cartel what was the government’s response. “We don’t want citizens running around with guns without a permit”.
That is so obviously laughable considering no effort has been made to disarm the cartels, who I imagine also don’t have permits. The Mexican government wants the criminal to have the upper hand, it is so obvious.
I fear this is the direction the gun grabbers want to take the US in. The only ones armed will be the government, who are doing squat to protect against the border invaders, and criminals.
You will also have to bring him to an FFL dealer so he can fill out a BATF Form 4473 and register his gun, adding it to the new National Gun Registry.
Once they know who has the guns and where they are, watch the liberals change their tune.
