"The variable they seek to manipulate is firearms, eliminating them altogether from American society."
This too is wrong. They don't want to eliminate guns completely, they want the police and military to have guns. The don't want individual citizens to have guns. They also see nothing wrong in hiring armed guards to protect themselves, their offices and their factories. We can't be allowed to protect ourselves though.
When the people are all disarmed,then all of a sudden they will only want the military to have guns.
LOL Then I'll just hire my wife as an armed guard to protect me, my offices, and my factories. And my wife will hire me as an armed guard to protect her, her offices, and her factories.
Amazing how confused some people can be.
