Ok, my turn to be a conspiracy theorist.... One of the first steps in population control as stated by Marx and Engels, Hitler, Musolini, Stalin, Beria, Idi Amin and a host of other national socialist/communist/despotic rulers is the reduction/legislation of personally owned firearms to very low capacity, low range hunting guns (side-by side shotguns, single shot low caliber rifles) and a complete ban on handguns - look at the history of the Russian Revolutions - the only people to legally carry guns after the second (Octoboerist) Revolution were those aligned with the Bolshevik or Menshevik parties and deemed as being the military or police forces for the areas and soon after that with the 3rd revolution (final purge, Bolshevik revolution) only those with that party affiliation.... Fermany, late 1920's early 1930's after the Stillenacht ... only those Brownshirts and National socialists that were deemed police/military could own or carry weapons.... There is a practical reason for an oppressive government to legislate the reduction of those able to own carry weapons - it gives them a better control of the population and reduces the ability ofthe citizenry to rise up in an armed protest when the oppression rises to untenable levels - we are getting close her in the US right now.... Bread and Circuses, welfare, forced healthcare, new taxes and rules.... (just think in Jan 2012 any goods or services provided to a small business over the course of a year that have a value of $600 in total will require a 1099 from the receiver to the provider, so that both sides can be charged the 'health tax' on that total amount)... gun control legislated by the Federal government in violation of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the US and the Articles of Confederation is only a step in the Socialization/Communization of this contry due to a societal need for entitlements that are not guaranteed nor asserted by those documents.... "The good of the People" is being usurped by the "Good of the People as we the government see it" .... get ready for comrade Obama to be able to sway the sheeple into the same debacles of history as seen in Germany, Russia, China, North Korea and many African states... and the idiots who only care aout something for nothing to go along willingly as their freedoms are ripped from them .... and they see it as a kindness... something for nothing.... until they are prisoners of the State by their own actions - "make me safe, take those filthy guns away from everybody" who will protect them from their own government in the end if there is no way to defend themselves?
Pardon the rant.... and any misspellings/typos.
