They still demand to ban "weapons of war", even though to the best of my knowledge, semi auto only ARs, AKs, Uzis, etc have never been used by any armed forces. They still want a ban on private sales of guns and talk about universal background checks. They still call magazines "high capacity magazines" when they are in reality, the standard magazines the firearms are designed for. <br />Gun registration and background checks are the grease for the slippery slope. The Laughtenberg Amendment was one of the worst attacks on civil liberties in our history. Do I want "wife beaters" owning guns? No, but there is a reason we have misdemeanor and felony crimes. Now, they are talking about the "boyfriend loophole" where if a boyfriend hits his girlfriend, they don't lose their firearms rights as this is not domestic violence. Again, I don't want guys that hit girls owning guns, but this is a misdemeanor. So, in this day and age, legally we don't really differentiate between gay and normal couples, so I assume that a gay guy hitting his boyfriend would be charged with DV under this plan, and lose his rights to firearms for life. Is there really any reason why a guy hitting his boyfriend, and a guy hitting his platonic friend get different penalties? Now, we get the "best friend loophole". What about a guy hitting some rando? So now, all assault charges are lifetime firearms bans. Again, misdemeanor. Now, with a hugh class of misdemeanor charges as lifetime firearms bans, is it really a stretch to see this applied to even more misdemeanors? DUI, public drunkeness, etc. You don't want drunks with guns right? <br />We have to start fighting back.

This is because they do not WANT to believe in it. Instead of using the example of other countries, I simply point to Louisiana after Katrina hit. They used the ownership records to literally go door to door and collect the guns. LITERALLY. It can't happen?

Nazi's did use some birth records to ensure they had wiped out whole family groups. But there are MANY governments that have used gun registration to disarm their people before rounding up and killing anyone who even spoke against the ruling class. Would we allow our soldiers to go to war disarmed? Of course not! Nor would we be able to go to war against a tyrannical government should the need arise once we were disarmed. Even in Syria, where tens of thousands have been killed, we and others are supply arms to those fighting for their freedom because we know that they would be slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands if we did not! I do not EVER want the American people to be in the position of begging for weapons for a foreign country in order to defend ourselves against our own government or an invasion from some other government. If you chose not to own a gun, that is your right. Just as it is MY right to own the weapon of MY choice and that right SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!noncompliantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-79267579180424710492013-02-05T17:42:07.342+10:002013-02-05T17:42:07.342+10:00No doubt.
