Here's just ONE indication of how much things have changed:

"The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which has historically proved to be always possible." Senator Hubert Humphery (D- Minnesota)

The difference is that 30-40 years ago the left saw tyranny and arbitrary government as a remote possibility. Now they see that it is in their grasp.

[Dick Bachert]

Yes. And to have their statist/elitist way with the great unwashed (that's US!), we must be disarmed lest the mortality rate of our would-be masters increase alarmingly.

The road to their idiotic socialist utopian paradise is far too dangerous with an ARMED POPULACE!
