With regard to the Maryland incident, I'm glad for the gun owner's sake that he's dead. I know I'd rather be dead than alive and disarmed.

There will be no seizure of citizen firearms. They will simply disappear for the most part.

Are “the cries for gun control” really “growing stronger”?

Sounds like baloney to me.

Red Flag Laws:

If you have mental problems your guns can be confiscated without due process.

If you want to own a gun, you must have mental problems.....so your guns will be confiscated without due process.....

...the federal government may finally give in to public pressure to “do something.”

That right there is one of the many things wrong with so-called "gun control" laws. They don't actually work. There's no basis to believe any have, are, or ever will. If someone is willing to commit multiple felonies wholesale, in what fantasy world does anyone believe one or two more laws on the books will make any difference?

However, there's the drumbeat of emotional "do something!" that the pro disarmament {expletives} push. It has nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with saving lives or making the public safer. Quite the opposite actually. Violent crime rates increase when the law-abiding public is disarmed. Criminals are emboldened by their sense of safety.

No, "gun control" is all about the control, about disarming the general public.

The following needs to be repeated over and over and over again by the President to Sarah Sanders to talk radio and whatever ink it can get:

“Every country in history who enslaved their people first disarmed them.”

We better take the creeping tyranny seriously. The satanic left is serious - and they never seem to sleep.

“A simple accusation from a family member, friend, or associate will suffice to seize someone’s firearms.”

Even the draconian CA law restricts the petitioners to LEO and Family, and they must present “clear and convincing evidence the person is a danger to themselves and/or others”.

I’m thinking the author is a tad bit hyperbolic.

Come on Gun Confiscation? All 300 million of them? By who? You think all the police officers across America would participate in that? The military? Who do you think owns all these guns?

“Is gun confiscation coming to Congress?”

If the Democrats try to confiscate guns then the gun owners will also be coming to Congress.

They are if you count the scores of ‘grass roots organizations’ and the millions of fake social media accounts funded by George Soros, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg, and etc.

They don’t need to take your guns. In concert with banks and mortgage holders they’ll take your property.

“If you want to own a gun, you must have mental problems.....so your guns will be confiscated without due process.....”

The old Soviet joke.
“Why does the Soviet Union put so many of its dissidents in mental institutions?”
“Because you’d have to be crazy to be a dissident in the Soviet Union.”

That must be another of those invisible clauses in the Bill of Rights: "The right of [some] people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed [unless some unelected bureaucrat thinks you have mental issues in which case consider the previous clause annulled].

Believe that organized denunciations from gun grabbers will become common.
