Because power corrupts,and they want to enslave/control/command you. The only way that can be done is to take away any chance you have to fight back. Also I do not believe our active duty military would go against the citizens, but they also do not want to do a military takeover of the elected officials. They would assist the armed citizens in removing the tyrants. |

The same reason why people worried about their spouse cheating on them are the most likely to cheat.
Libs think if you have a gun, you will use it to finish any argument or altercation...because they would if they got mad enough. Mental disorder, but they can't trust themselves so they ant trust you. And, how else will they feed the masses once we run out of money? Solent green is people!!!! |

While I think some politicians actually believe the stuff they spew, the majority of politicians just want a career in office and will do whatever is popular to stay in office. Unfortunately, banning 'assault weapons' is a popular hot topic and many are seizing the opportunity to win voters over. It's why politicians flip-flop. |

We've reached the point where it's time to get the line drawn. Mother fucking commies on one side and freedom lovers on the other. This isn't going to get resolved in
any chat rooms or forums but in the streets. Every city in this country is going to need a march in force. Make those fucking occupiers look like piss ants. I am so tired of the minority mother fuckers getting their way. We will need every AR owner/ 2nd amendment loving citizen in this country in the street with his/her gun strapped to their body, peacefully of course, but prepared just in case. We will look like the Zulu tribe in the end of that movie against the British. Maybe that will send a chill up Chris Mathews leg. This whole debate ends one of 3 ways. 1. We roll over and they ban guns 2. We show our resolve and they back down 3. We have a civil war and the winner decides |

Because they really want a big gun ban.....but don't think that would fly. So they sell everybody that they want to ban things like AR and AK which is easy to demonize. But when they write the ban....they slip in as many guns as they can. And then they have a starting point for the next ban, all they have to do is wait for the next big shooting....

Both the Vietcong and the Fedayeen Saddam were killed by the dozens, easily, and often....to the point that they both ceased to be a significant threat to the US military. Rebels would never be able to effectively use "real hardware." The only way an rebellion would be successful is if it either involved a significant portion of the populace and they were willing to actually risk their lives, or if the US military became ineffective due to morale and loyalty conflicts. I don't see people willing to put their iphones down and walk away from their families to go fight for anything. Most of those types already joined the .mil. |

Because they are not really "socialists" or "fascists" or any other ists. They are merely looking for naked power. Had they truly been the socialists that they we accuse them of being they could have left guns alone and we would have been socialists by now. In addition to the actual ability to defend yourself, a gun provides a symbol of resistance. And now is when we have to remember the words of Stalin, "We wouldn't let them have ideas, why would we let them have guns?"

the real reason they want all AW's out of civillian possession is an unarmed populace is much easier to control
after AW's are out of the hands...it will be telescopic sighted hunting rifles which will be called "sniper weapons". There will be a rash of snipings which will instigate the ban. After that...semi auto pistols make no doubt about it....they want control of all of us. Line is drawn in the sand for me at this point. done fucking around with these elitists |

I attended the Brady groups renew the assault weapon ban event in DC back in 2002
The room had 3 or 4 speakers and a bunch of VPC and Brady staffers And not many others. The main speaker was a spechul forces CIA advisor in nam Who spoke about the Uzi that he had over there  and how that firepower had no place in the public in the US Afterwards, I engaged him in some gunny banter and got him to express how much fun it was to dump a magazine from a FA gun. The VPC staffer hanging range got really upset when I suggested that many honest hardworking Americans also enjoy safely shooting quaint antique 1960s designs like the AR15.  |

I thinks because they are the easiest type to talk us into banning. Progressives work incrementally, they get "assault weapons" now and immediately start working on pistols, then "sniper" rifles-Rem. 700 w/scope-, then revolvers and so on.
The other is that "assault weapons" are the best choices to defend yourself from whoever. |

It's really a matter of trust. Some folks trust our government for security, freedom, food, healthcare, shelter, cradle to grave. It scares the shit out of these folks to think that they may have to fend for themselves and they will go along with anything they are told.
Most folks realize that the government is simply comprised of men. men who are fallible, corruptible and will take the easy path. Question is how many realize they may be staking their lives on it.

As an LEO and former .mil infantryman who has fought in war I can unequivocally tell you that "yes" a man with a rifle CAN standup to the military. A lone rifleman kept our battalion at bay for 30 days in Ramadi....one man.

It's really a simple question.

If they aren't afraid of them, then why expend the political capital etc...to take them-cause they KNOW it will be a shitstorm?.... Here's what I think- In poker, we call it a tell.....someone has checked their hole card....and they aren't as sure as the "experts" are. Again, please, please don't violate the COC in advocating the overthrow of the government and shooting police or federal agents. I want to know why you think they want to take guns away from the American people if there is no chance they could be successful in resisting government oppression. Do they really believe that society would be "safer"? Because they are not prepared to address the real issues and going after an "assault weapon" with it's "killer flash suppressor" and "high cap magazine clip" makes the sheeple think that these fuckwits are actually doing something useful. |

Good explanation here.
"...Whenever a political movement seeks to disarm the citizen, it is necessarily simultaneously seeking to expand the power of the federal government,..." and another good view, with a first hand account of what happened in the '92 LA riots: Jew Without a Gun "...Just as Obamacare has nothing to do with health, and cap and trade has nothing to do with so-called global warming, anti-gun laws have nothing to do with saving children’s lives. It’s just another opportunity for the left to centralize power..." |

Then once he knew where they all were, he sent out his Brown shirt thugs to collect them up. To ensure compliance, If you told them you "lost all your firearms in a tragic boating accident" The shot you in the head! |
