Fred, you’re absolutely right, the “Gun Control” movement as espoused by elected officials across the country is about nothing more than control. It is very difficult to tyrannize an armed society. That’s why our founders put the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution. I must say though, that there is a significant number of our population that are victims of what the late great Jeff Cooper defined as “hoplophobia”. This afflication is nothing more than an inordinate fear of guns, period. It is not a rational fear, that’s why it is a “phobia”. Unfortunately, the powers that be are taking advantage of this and promoting “gun control”, which we know is not possible in terms of preventing mass shootings such as have occurred in the past week. You cannot legislate mens minds.
The sole end of the active, government sponsored demand for more “gun control” is nothing more than a concerted effort to disarm the law abiding citizens of this country. Criminals will not comply with LAWS, that’s why they are CRIMINALS.
An armed society is very difficult to tyrannize and subjugate. I offer this quote from one of the great tyrannizers of the 20th century: “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms; history shows that all conquerers who have allowed their subjected people to carry arms have prepared their own fall.” Adolf Hitler
That being said, I still have the gut feeling that if Romney loses the election, we will have to prepare for the worst. I am not even sure that we will get to the November election without some form of Martial Law being imposed. We live in a very scary world.
I’m 74 years old and I can’t understand what is happening to my country. Bless all and keep your powder dry.
