7. And that why gun owners fight gun control tooth and nail

They know, and I know, that when you support at all political costs ineffective and intrusive gun-control laws, what your side is doing is trying to is:

a) wage a culture war by discouraging gun ownership through social pressures;

b) wage a legal war by exploring the very limits of this particular right and using government pressure discourage gun ownership;

c) acclimate people to the idea of arbitrary bans on some styles of guns so that future restrictions go unchallenged;

d) form a database of all guns, and their owners

e) with nationwide bans in effect and informatoin, collect and destroy weapons of styles that have been declared illegal


Australia's government confiscated and destroyed vast quantities of guns that were declared illegal to own. Not just sales of new guns that were outlawed, not just preventing the transfer of currently-owned guns that have been declared illegal, but actively hunting down the owners of the now-illegal guns and seizing them for destruction.

That's what you personally want, and when you support any gun law you want it to be the next step towards the government confiscating and scrabbing pretty much all the privately-owned guns in the country.

You don't care if a law is ineffective, you just want it passed to it can be the foundation for the next step in the process of seeing AR-15s and Glocks being bulldozed into massive furnaces and melted down into soda cans and paper clips.
