That if we would let them register gun owners, they’d be happy and leave us alone.
Bullshit!
Example: Australia
A police plan for door-to-door checks of every gun owner in the state has drawn flak from firearms groups.
The plan is being considered by the Chief Commissioner’s office but gun groups believe police numbers are insufficient to cover the estimated 200,000 registered owners in Victoria.
Police said yesterday the focus would be on firearms storage.
You may have heard of the last search the Aussie gun owners had to go through that was done under the guise of “Firearms Storage�.
40000-plus firearms were confiscated because the officers doing the appraisal didn’t like the way the owners were storing their firearms.
Aussie Police – “Crikey, mate! You’ve only got those guns locked up in a double plate steel and triple tubular lock style safe! We’re gonna have to take those. No, you can’t be given a grace period to buy a better safe. No, you won’t be compensated. Yes, were going to feed them into a bandsaw and then melt them down, why do you ask?â€?
Go over to The Smallest Minority and read what he has to say about this.
And to any firearms owner in Australia: I will buy your firearms, minus the shipping and importation fees, and put them in secure storage for you. You may use them as you like while you are here, providing I am accompanying the weapons, and I promise to sell them back to you for the sale price once you have your immigration paperwork secured.
There’s a more important lesson to be learned here, AK.
It concerns the Second Amendment. We have a R2KABA. The Aussies had kept arms, but there was no enshrined right that I know of.
That’s why the 2A is so important, and that’s why we must insist, and not politely at all, that the 2A came about just because of fear of erosion of democratic ideals.
The democratic ideals have eroded in Australia, but since the Aussies never had written them down and enshrined them, they are gone.
I predict that within my remaining lifetime, the SCOTUS will be asked to make a major interpretation of the 2A, with the liberal side being asked to say that the threat of the usurpation of free government requiring the keeping and bearing of firearms of war is not applicable.
THAT will be the fight for OUR freedom. If we lose that fight, we start to slide down the slope to the bottom of the chasm where the Aussies are now.
If and when all the anti-2A people put a single-point organization together to do this, rather than going by the piecemeal viewpoints that they have now, we will be vulnerable to that lawsuit getting to the SCOTUS. Until then, because they scatter their forces when they take the field against us, we can and will defeat their every attempt to impose registration leading to confiscation.
