I believe we are the only country in in history that has actually reversed a disarmament momentum without an actual overthrow of the government. It seems once the trend is started the endpoint is eventual. It only proves just how resilient our form of government is and how effective the NRA can be once it is woken up.ghostrider wrote:>The gun owners fear is that any leeway given erodes our right to keep and bear arms eventually

Its not a fear, so much as its history in other countries. Its the divide and conquer approach. First register the machine guns, then the evil looking semi-auto guns, then confiscate the machine guns or at least add more restrictions, then restrict the semi-autos more, then ban the 'saturday night specials', then ban standard magazines by calling them 'high capacity' and declaring that no one needs them. Follow that with more onerous licensing requirements, then make owners re-register firearms that have already been registered, then.......
Basically, the above is what has happened in Canada.
