Through complacency and a desire for security the British allowed their government to confiscate their guns. Now they want them back! The politicians in the United States know they have an uphill battle if they want to take our guns outright (kuz ev'ry one know us Americans luvs our guns) so we will lose our freedom in baby steps. No they won't come beat down our door and snatch up your guns (yet), but in small almost unnoticeable (and unreported by the media) ways we are losing our Constitutional RIGHT to bear arms.
These little restrictions come along with almost no fuss because we are complacent and it's almost always in the name of security or safety.
Like:
Register yourself and you weapon so the government knows you are a safe and responsible law abiding citizen (and so they know who has the guns when it's time to collect).
Or:
Lock your guns up in a safe so your kids can't get to them (neither can you) and require gun locks so even if you can get to your gun by the time you load it you're dead. Hasn't anyone ever heard of educating your children. Yes there's accidents but people fall off ladders and no one wants those locked away. And, Yes gun owners must behave responsibly and take measures to keep guns out of the wrong hands, but the government should not be telling us what to do in our own homes, period. How would such a law be enforced? Would law enforcement have the right to inspect your home for 'legal gun storage'? Can you see where this is going?
There will not be a sudden outright ban of all guns, Americans wouldn't settle for that. No first the will place more and more limits on who can own guns, what guns you can have (umm Brady Bill anyone), how much ammunition you may keep, how you store you firearms, require you to have a license. They will make it increasingly difficult to own a gun thereby decreasing the number of LEGAL gun owners until there are to few to stand up and fight (figuratively speaking of course). Don't wait until it's too late. Take notice of the laws YOUR elected officials are trying to pass and don't buy into the "it's for your safety" bull crap. Be knowledgeable and be ACTIVE in protecting your freedom. Without the right to bear arms their will be no freedom of religion, no freedom of speech, no right to assembly or any other freedoms that we as Americans enjoy. It's not so much what your government is that you need to protect yourself from but what your children's government could become. Watch the video above, and see where we could be in a few years if we allow it.
