whereby on one hand we hear that the government is not coming to take our guns and on the other that the government is implementing laws and policies that mirror the Nazis in the 1930s.

If in fact the US government is "slouching towards Nuremberg" then would we expect to see similar gun control laws passed in America?

I personally reject the notion that we are "slouching towards Nuremberg" - President Obama's positions on gun control is one of the reasons I believe that.

I also reject both "Gun Control=Nazism, or Obama+Gun Control=Nazism." - I support reasonable gun control. We may argue as to what is reasonable but I understand that the Constitution supports gun control.
