Exclusive: U.S. Directs Agents to Cover Up Program Used to Investigate Americans

6. The point is people

Don't belive government will limit itself with information it gets.

This is proven over and over again. This is the reason people don't support registration schemes and mandatory insurance and other "saftey" claims from the controllers because we see their long term goal. Gun controllers are on record pushing for even more restrictive measures and then they wonder why gun right supporters don't support their "saftey" pushes.

Look at the background checks bill. It was not until almost the very end that the gun controllers dropped their push to make it a national registration scheme. Heck they even tried to add AWB to the bill via amendment. People won't be fooled. If they were serious about background checks and that only they would have brought a clean bill. They did not and it failed for all to see. Now add in NSA scandal and you get a public that just does not trust it's government to act in its best intrests.

This lack of trust hurts progressive polices that need the power of the government to implement many of the changes we want. Kind of hard to get people to buy in when every other week we found out last weeks response to the spying was a lie and its deeper than they admit.

Another poster said it better than me.

Gun controllers really want no guns just like abortion saftey advocates really want no abortion.

In the abortion fight it is going to states to make certain rules and requirements for "saftey" but the real reason is discourage women from seeking abortions. The claim that abortion facility saftey and requirements need to be enhanced are just ways to reduce abvilibility and increase cost thus reducing access. Then the crazy polls that are manipulated to show majority of Americans support 20 week limits.


Gun controllers most of them admit they don't want civilian gun ownership so they start with small things to enhance their overall goal. Claiming "saftey" industry "regulation" restrictions on certain types purely for cosmetic reasons. And manipulative polling.

The play book for both is almost the same. Sorry you can't see that.
