And if the fedgov pushes that hard, they had better expect rule 308 in return.
“fedgov pushes that hard”
I suspect it won’t be sold or presented as a “hard push”. They’ll propagandize it for all its worth: “Sniper Rifles”, “Domestic Terrorists”, “Militia”, “Anti-Government Outcasts”, “TEA Partiers”, “Bitter Clingers”, “Christians!”, “Anti-Government Forces”, ...
oh, wait, those are the current terms they are using.
They’ll turn up the volume of propaganda and turn down the volume on their efforts. They don’t even need to ban all guns, just the ones we need to be effective: Black, evil, assault weapons. Not duck hunting guns, just assault weapons. 1994 was an attempt at that and they got pretty far. If they actually had any more thought they’d gone all the way to success and permanently banned assault rifles. We were only lucky they didn’t.
Agreed. If our side has any failure, it's the lack of any coherent "line in the sand."
Of course, that's not to say one could not crystalize VERY quickly given an agenda like the one listed.
