“Job Opening: Gun confiscation specialist for rural Alabama. Good pay, great benefits, high turnover rate.”
Not just Alabama, my friend.
“It’s not about crime or criminals. It never was. It’s about controlling citizens; it’s about turning public servants into public masters ... and killing anyone who objects.”
That’s EXACTLY what all this is about.
If you have to hide while exercising a right you don’t really have that right, do you?
This is not taking away the right, just regulating it, "for the public good."
You have freedom of speech, but not unlimited (libel, perjury, presenting a clear and present danger, incitement of an immediate unlawful act, et al.)
You can still own firearms, just not the really "bad" ones, or the ones that "look mean." < /sarc>
The list does seem to be aimed at cynically dividing 2nd Amendment supporters -- there are a lot of people who will look at the list and see their favorite (bolt rifles, pump or break shotguns, revolvers, Glock/polymetoos, 1911/clones, not on the list and think, "Well, it's just the militia types that are affected, I'm all right so it's okay with me."
“The government intends to do something VERY BAD to us”
You are correct, they will bankrupt our capitalist system and replace it with marxism/socialism. Cloward/Pavin comes to mind. But it won’t work if the people err.. “workers” rise up and kill them all.
