Which will never happen because most local and state police are patriots and will fight back against any federal overreach or federal agents knocking on people's doors.
And you forget about the armed neighbors...the retired military veterans in the community.
Outright confiscation just isn't going to happen, which is why the Left is eliminating guns through attrition, through the ballot box, and through demographics.
They're not having the best of success with that...
The DemoRats have been pushing for gun control for decades.
This is how it has been working out for them.
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
And more...
And yet more...
And more and more and...
We just keep buyin' more...
And we bought more more more...
And more and more and more...
Could it be? More?
More Americans buy more guns...
KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMOCRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)
“Outright confiscation just isn’t going to happen, which is why the Left is eliminating guns through attrition, through the ballot box, and through demographics.”
That is exactly what is happening.
By denying us easy access to our 2nd amendment right, we are slowly being deprived of that right.
They make it so difficult to purchase, own, and exercise our right; that it just becomes easier to not exercise that right, and then to give it up all together.
It is commonly stated that there are 20,000 gun laws on the books already. These gun laws almost always restrict the exercise of the 2nd amendment.
And then there are the regulations on the manufacture and sale of firearms, also used to restrict the exercise of the 2nd Amendment. One of them being the FFL. Many real life examples exist of the stringent requirements that keep changing for an FFL, along with outright harassment from the BATFE to FFL holders. All of this also causes prices to go up extraordinarily higher than necessary and making it more difficult to exercise our 2nd Amendment right. Prices are also higher due to insurance costs necessary.
Yes, the government is actively trying to limit our right to exercise the 2nd Amendment. Quietly and covertly.
