You are nuts if you think they dont want privately owned firearms ,the U.Ns plan is for worldwide gun registration and ultimately the elimination of privately owned firearms .Look outside the U.N there is a handgun with the barrel tied in a knot .Kofi Annan gave a speech about the weapons of ''mass destruction'' being the mass numbers of small arms .What on earth do you think the ''powers that be'' did in Tasmania that resulted in the banning of semi auto firearms in Australia ,at the same time they banned pump action shotguns .After worldwide registration occurs you will not be allowed to sell your firearm to another person, or gun shop ,once you are finished with it ,you must hand it in and it will be destroyed ! Once they have banned the Private ownership of firearms ,they can dictate to you anything they like .......... look at history, Russia ,Cambodia,China ,Germany etc, and then imagine it on a worldwide scale !! not nice is it ? But of course the naive mindless doo gooders will go along with all this, thinking they are creating a safe ,fuzzy ,new world free of nasty guns ,followed by a REPEAT of Nazi Germany on a worldwide scale !!!! You pledge your allegiance to the U.N as the only hope for the future of mankind and the planet.......... or you go off to the camps branded as a rebel ,terrorist and are eliminated .

The fantasy of the gun-lovers/defenders is that one day they will get to be the armed insurgents fighting their own government. They want to use their pipe-bomb making skills (IEDs) and their small arms (AK-47s, for the nostalgia effect!) against the legally elected government when it tries to disenfranchise their ideology. That so many of these would-be insurgents are Christian fundamentalists that think Obama is antichrist is just one of the reasons to say this; they want to play Taliban in America.

I'm sorry, why do gunny types want to keep their guns?It is because of the second amendment, is it not? It is because they want to be free to overthrow a government that they see as corrupt, is it not? If that's the case, then they must have imagined that they would one day be part of a militia fighting the government. Insurgents.
Not all gun owners think that they will need to take up arms against the state, and not all gun owners value guns because of the second amendment. They are useful for hunting, personal defense, and pleasure (Especially pleasure).
People who worry about second amendment issues, I assume, are trying to keep their right to raise a militia for defense against a corrupt state.

I never said that the second amendment was a bad thing. I simply said that those who intend to enact their second amendment rights have planned ahead, if only in fantasy, how they will become insurgents.
