OK, let’s assume for a moment that 90% of the 80 million gun owners in the country can be guilted into giving up hunting, giving up protecting themselves or their families, giving up on their Constitutional rights, etc., and turn in their guns.
That leaves 8 million legal gun owners.
Where will the personnel come from to go to their homes and businesses and take their guns?
Also, your guilt campaign idea is, with all due respect, ludicrous. We only reduced cigarette use by convincing people it would kill them slowly, and they’re going to be guilted into giving up weapons that will save their lives? We can’t even eliminate drunk driving after decades of ads focused on the damage caused by it and even a campaign that subtly implied it was OK to smack someone around if it kept them from driving drunk. What will be the ad campaign that makes a strong 2nd Amendment supporter give up his AR? “Look at this carnage caused by a mentally ill person who had a gun he legally never could possess. Since he did this to six year olds, you should give up the rifle you use to shoot tin cans.”
Um...no. Not happening. And please, don’t post back to me as if I said the libs don’t want to take our guns, I know they do, I’m just against coming up with scenarios they will not try and cannot try instead of figuring out what their real next move will be.
While it is hard for decent people to predict what deeply evil people will set up or do themselves, it's not impossible if you think about what could possibly make you feel worse than what was just done.
I'm going to guess day care centers and/or maternity wards. Another possibility is a HUGE number of victims. That one will be harder to pull off because somebody in the victim group just might be carrying, but there's always the possibility of multiple shooters in full tactical gear.
Day care centers and multiple crazies have both been done before and both have been used in gun control attempts. I think it was a couple years ago that somebody shot up a Jewish day care center in Seattle.
Also, it may have been far enough back that was during the Clinton regime's attempts when two (maybe more) guys in full gear shot up a street in LA and did it slowly and deliberately and did not try to escape.
The police who responded were totally outgunned. IIRC one cop ran to a gun store to buy something that could stand up to the perps who ultimately ended up dead. There was never any really good follow up explanation or reporting that I remember.
For people who doubt that this could be set up, I would remind everyone that disturbed individuals are easily spotted and can be exploited by evil people "helping" them or simply befriending them and reinforcing their psychopathy and ultimately directing it.
IMO the people in power now are fully capable of doing that. After all, they watched their own ambassador get raped and murdered in real time and refused help to them for their own reasons not widely clear as of yet.
