OK I have read all the sky is falling threads.

I do believe the left wants to take our guns.

I do not believe a ban is unavoidable, the heller decision is pretty clear that seizure and prohibition is out.

I do believe the libs will tax bullets and rifles to the point they can only be purchased by the wealthy.

What I don't understand is why, there is no logic to the outright criminal actions of many leftist.  

These are the same people that believe that the 1st amnedment is sacred, and that we have rights to abortion, medical care, and college educations none of which are spelled out in our constitution.  

So why do they fear the 2nd Amendment?

Because they secretly want to legislate every tiny little thing in our lives, and they know we will want to shoot them for it.

Criminals and Militia types...

Oh, and the arms industry making $$$...

They just want us disarmed so they can do as they please...

True liberals are hard core communists who know an armed people is a resistant people to their whims.

Control. That is the number one reason they want us disarmed.

Most of them think that only government employees (police, military) should have guns, that guns are too dangerous to be owned by members of the general public.  The rest of them, those in authority, know that guns give us power and make us harder to rule.

Why?  That's simple.  Control.  The left wishes to control you.  The armed man is independent.  He is free.  He needs no government to protect him, he will protect himself.  He needs no government to provide for him, he will provide for himself.  The armed man is not dependent on the crutch of socialism.  He is not left begging for scraps.  He cannot be forced into submission with the threat of withdrawing the government teat, he needs not suckle from it.

Why do they want to rule over us, the goverment is meant to serve the people, a goverment with our interest in mind should not fear an armed citizenry.

So what is the goal once they ban the guns??????????????

They don't. They fear YOU.

Probably answered your own question. What makes you think  they have our interests in mind? Just think back to all of the info sent to our reps about not supporting the bailout. Averaged out to more than 20:1 against the bailout. Did they listen?

so you have a harder time resisting the rest of the shit they have planned for you.

An armed populace kind of throws a wrench in their plans for world domination.

the root issue is that the entire liberal platform is based on doing the "nice" thing.

quite simply, liberals want people to smile at them.  very few of the planks of their platform are unexplainable by this phenomenon.

they want to be nice to poor people (with your money).

they want to be nice to crime victims, and be nice to criminals.

they want to be nice to any oppressed group, because that's the nicest thing to do.  and since they always find the "redeeming" aspects of everyone, they can find any group to be oppressed.

liberals are the kinds of people who wish no one would ever die.  death, to them, is not nice.  starvation from overpopulation is ignored, because that's way off in the future and liberals don't have to look at it.

liberals want to give candy to babies so that the babies will smile at them.  they don't think about tooth decay, obesity, diabetes, and death, because that stuff is way off in the future and they don't have to look at it.  liberals want the smiles right now, because that makes them feel nice.

and ultimately, they won't countenance anything having to do with violence, because it's just not nice.  since guns are not nice, the liberal position is that getting rid of them is nice.

Fostering dependency and control.  A gun is a symbol of independence and self sufficiency, that is counter to socialism.

If we are unarmed, then we are defenseless to do anything when truly radical agendas are put forward...not that taking my guns isn't radical.[>:/]

I think a lot of it is simply class snobbery. The "narrative" of their lives is that people with guns are mouth-breathing troglodytes. And they don't have guns, so that makes them NOT mouth-breathing troglodytes. Trying to get other people to give up guns makes them even more enlightened, even if they have to disarm those other people at gun point.

When Marxists and socialists get power, they usually kill many millions of their own citizens.  It's harder to do that if your citizens can defend themselves.

Read through  this article for a few examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history

Well maybe you can answer me how the dems platform (as a party) is the opposite on pretty much every issue. You'd think there would be a lot of overlap. (Sometimes they aren't so up front with them so it SEEMS that way, but not the case)

I swear these parties arrive at some of their platform issues just by choosing the opposite as the other.

They want to live in a world that is a child's version of happiness: everything is free, Daddy and Mommy (read the Government) love you and care for you and keep you safe, the bad men can't harm you because the police protect you and are your best friend. They have a skewed concept of causality: the dangerous tools of crime and violence are the cause of crime and violence: if these tools didn't exist there would be no crime or violence: remove the guns, remove the crimes in which guns are used.

GunLogic

1. Libs base everything off emotion. So dont apply logic.

2. Gun control isnt about guns, its about control.

Libs want to regulate everyone down the same level of mediocrity.

This is actually the real reason.  


Guns may be TOP of Obama's agenda. Before the economy,  before national  security,  before jobs.  


1.) Obama was started by,  and HEAVILY financed by George Soros.
Soros Anti gun activities
Funding anti-gun activities for years
Soros buying Obama Early

2) Soros manipulates the markets to cause economic harm and affect other policies
Soros manipulation of stock market

3) Soros is a globalist ,  and wants Americans to cede sovereignity  to global governance organizations.
Globalist activites

4) Banning guns is the first and necessary step to implementing a global government.  



They HAVE to ban our guns because without disarming us,  they can not get us to surrender our sovereignity  nor can they implement their extremely heavy tax policies.  


trust me,  it may be the single biggest reason soros wants him in office.  he's going to push to disarm us.  it's the guns he's after,  and it's bigger than just a black guy winning the white house.

It's not about guns.

It's about control.

Take the guns and they have complete control.

Savvy?

Libs are an interesting bread.

They are taking the steps now, for future libs? There's not a chance in hell Obama sees the disarming of America. Probably not even in his childrens lifetime with a ban in place. So basically, they're only setting up this utopia for future lib politicians. That's the part i don't get. I think it's a power thing, and a easier road to ultimate goals, but i don't see that happening even within 25 years let alone the next 4.

World domination is not on the minds of the liberal in the street. Maybe on politician's minds but not the average left winger.

Pretty much says it all. I wonder what will happen with the CoC if that times comes.

"The Second Amendment is not about hunting ducks and leaving Huey, Dewey, and Lewie without an uncle. It's about hunting politicians." Thomas Dodd, author of the GCA of 1968

They don't fear the 2nd...

The truth is that libs believe that everything in life can be made better through regulation - that if they make all the 'bad' or 'icky' things in life illegal, the true good in people will be able to come out...

In short:

Liberals believe that people are good, but corrupted by malign objects and entities, which can be eliminated through social pressure and government regulation...

Libertarians believe that people are good, and will be good if evil 'force' is removed from their lives by allowing almost anything to be legal...

Conservatives know people are evil, and that only through checks and balances can an approximation of good/civilization be achieved....

Exactly!

So far it seems most of us feel that the left feels they could rule the world if they took away guns from those pesky redneck Americans.........


I don't buy it


For those who believe they want the regs for the sake of regs.....Where does the need to control come from, I have no desire to control other people, why do they have a need to try to control me?

It's all about control. Besides just the guns themselves not being able to be used against a tyrannical government, they think that if they can some how stop violence (HA!) that a happy unassuming populace thinking that they are safe, will be easier to milk for money.

Now THAT is a post with some substance!

Mattl got it precisely. The entire belief system of liberalism is the group to the exclusion of the individual. The reason this country is and was hated by the 60's "Better Red than dead" crowd is that this country was living proof of the moral, economic, intellectual, and emotional bankruptcy of communism and socialism. If this country could only fail...
But we didn't fail, thanks to folks like President Ronald Reagan, despite the efforts of libs world wide. However, communism did fail massively in the U.S.S.R. and many other places, and continues to fail miserably. The Russians and Chinese are doing their best to use capitalism somehow, in their dictatorships but the jury is out on those strange efforts.
Meanwhile the old hippies in this country have nothing to show for their life's beliefs.
If we all lived in communes, shared our homes, wives, husbands, kids, food, cars, ..., hell better yet if we all just lived without cars or money, just ate, slept, and fucked, no work (it's magic!) the world would be wonderful. No competition, no winners, no losers, and most of all, no one who didn't go along with the program. Let the government take care of all of us, do everything for us, we all can live exactly alike, that way there is no greed, no competition, no right, no wrong, just the group.
But, conservatives won't go along with this crap. Conservatives only want to be left alone to do what they like as long as it doesn't hurt someone else. Get rich, don't get rich, live in the country off the land, live in the city and work their asses off, whatever, conservatives say great, reach for your stars.
Libs say reach for the group, don't excel, don't achieve, just establish "common goals" and don't ever have an independent thought. Worst of all, never even think of being self sufficient. If we are self sufficient, independent, truly free, then the group is not important. End of liberalism.
Guns are both a huge symbol and a critical tool to the person who wants to live his life as self sufficiently and independently as possible.
Guns scare the hell out of liberals.

Type A personalities?
