I think that the anti-gun lobby is trying to pick up the pace to consolidate the efforts of the UN to fingerprint us, and give us that newfangled U.N. ID card. All under the guise of safety.
A good interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, is that we are to be armed, just like the law enforcement, and the military, if we are to be able to fight against the would be oppressors. However, now that they've successfully dumbed down two generations of people, and postfactoed a lot of other legal gun owners, not to mention made it difficult to own a gun, there's nearly no way to defend our constitutional rights against a totalitarian regime.
Another anti-gun vitory, is a victory for oppression. If the million moron march has it's way, we'll be governed by a 50 year old, micro-managing mother. Telling us all what to eat, what to drink, when to sleep, who to date, who to marry, how many kids we get to have, if we get to drive a car, what education we'll get... It's all headed that way. All in the name of Safety
