**Tinfoil hats for all 'yee who enter here. You have been warned!**
I would say that the vast majority of the general public believe that the government has our best interests at heart. They believe that Obama and the anti-gunners are truly just trying to make us safer with the end goal of eliminating guns completely. Others believe there is a more sinister motive for eliminating gun ownership.
A brief look at history can quickly tell you the consequences of giving up gun ownership. It gives the government unprecedented power over the people. It enables them to continue to erode the rest of the rights that you used to possess. At the very extreme, it enables them to round up their own citizens on trains shipped off to death camps. We can be fairly certain that if they took the 2A, the rest would eventually follow.
I wouldn't say I buy into conspiracy theories that say our world leaders are just puppets behind a bigger organization. But I do know this, and it is something we can all agree on. Governments want power. They want the power to rule, power to tax and seize, power to do whatever they want, without any consequences. Especially consequences of an armed resistance.
Anti-gunners always fire back at gun rights with, "you don't need that semi-auto for hunting!" "There is no reason for anybody to NEED gun XYZ." These people are missing the point. The founding fathers intended for us to be able to prevent tyranny. How are we supposed to be able to stop tyranny with single shot rimfires and no access to ammunition? Do you not realize that we are on your side on this issue too? You don't want tyranny, trust me. We need to convince the anti-gunners, and the general public, that we are on their side in the fight against tyranny. Nobody wants tyranny except the tyrants. It is something that almost every American would resist.
Of course, they will just say tyranny could never happen here, then go back to sticking their head in a hole and continue the complacency.
We need to stand up for the rights intended by our founding fathers. They saw it first hand, so I'm pretty sure they are the authority on the subject, not us. Thanks for reading :wavey:
