OK, so as gun owners we have promoted enforcement of existing laws to control gun crime. We have supported and helped pass "Three Strikes and Your Out" laws and generally put forth a get tough stance on crime.
As gun owners and second amendment activists, why have we done this?
Aren’t we trying to show that if you get tough on crime it will reduce gun violence and crimes and thus we hope to show that there is no need for new gun laws that infringe on the right to bear arms?
We have done this to some extent. Crime is down in virtually every category. Murder rates are at or below those we had in the 1960’s......... yet the gun grabbers are still not stopping! We have shown that get tough on crime laws WORK yet the gun grabbers are not stopping.
So now we got laws, like in California, that make it illegal to own semi automatic rifles, magazines with more than 10 rounds capacity, etc, etc. Some gun owners have been asked to turn in their SKS’s. This is gun confiscation, plain and simple.
And now his Hitlerness, clinton, want’s to add 500 new BATF agents to go after crooked gun dealers. That’s a good thing. And the NRA supports it. But in reality, those agents can and will be used against you when you refuse to turn in your rifle or pistol.
Imagine those poor souls in California who refuse to turn in their SKS’s. They are now criminals and we now need more law enforcement officers to go around and confiscate these arms.
Do you think the gun grabbers will stop at that?
