Gun control is one of the stupidest ideas that the left promotes. That is, assuming their goal is to reduce violent crime. If, on the other hand, crime reduction is no big deal, but establishing a completely disarmed citizenry is, then it makes sense.
In other words, gun confiscation is a direct assault on our constitutional right to self-defense. And that includes defense again a government gone rogue. Those who claim that cannot happen here are either deluded, or they actually support the replacement of our constitutional republic by another form government — and by force, if necessary.
Zero Hedge gives us a prelude to what is being planned in California — at least for starters.
An oft-echoed line from the left is “No One Wants To Take Your Guns!” But as Kurt Schlichter notes, this is another classic lie.
In fact, that’s exactly what liberals want to do. How do we know? They tell us when they think we are not looking – and, with more frequency, when we are. It’s fun when they say they don’t want to take your guns, then say you have to give up your ARs. If your opponent is getting wistful about Australia’s gun confiscation, he wants to take your guns.
Let’s get serious. They all want to take your guns. Why? Two reasons. First, it takes power from the citizenry. Liberals love that. Second, gun rights are important to normal Americans because the fact we maintain arms means we are not mere subjects. We are citizens, with the power to defend our freedom. Liberals hate that we have that dignity; taking our guns would humiliate us, and show us who is boss. They want to disarms us not because of the gun crime – name a liberal who wants to really do something about Chicago as opposed to hassling law-abiding normals – but because they hate us and want to see us submit.
Even the Fredocons are getting into the act, which is no surprise since Never Trumpism is always the first step downward to active liberalism. Pseudocon Bret Stephens demanded that America repeal the Second Amendment in the New York Times in October 2017. Fellow puffcon Ross Douthat simpered something similar, and the Captain Stubing of Conservatism, Bill Kristol, tweeted his concurrence.
There’s the left’s thinking, standing naked for all to see. So, based on those twisted ideas, what’s coming to California courtesy of the liberals?

The people of California need to remove these tree hugging dictators.
This has already been tried in Massachusets or Connecticut. MANY innocent bystanders were hurt and the confiscations stopped…but I don’t expect Kalifornistan to learn from the mistakes of others. There will be blood.
They did that in Cuba. How did that work out for the people?
