UnityEmissions is absolutely right. Where is the motive? In the past I have discussed the very thing you describe here on ATS, because honestly with all of the possible false flag events taking place in the US recently, many signs are pointing toward disarmament of American citizens. But again, I cannot figure out what their motive would be.
The only thing that I can think of is something that I never really subscribed to, although many others have. I am talking about the overthrow of our republic's democracy, with the subsequent institution of a totalitarian, or similar, state. I mean think about it. The only reason that they would need to take away our guns is if they do not want people to be able to fight back as easily when they declare martial law, or whatever else. But they would be attempting to go somewhere that would be extremely difficult to reach.
It is also possible that they do not want bloodshed, and are not attempting to get the military on their side, or any foreign military, and simply want our guns because they know that we may resort to violence to keep our rights, which they will take away politically and not by force. Again though, I do not really feel this is on the horizon any time soon, and I hope I am right. War is, as you said, horrible, and the majority of people do not realize this. It is mainly those who have seen combat in their lives, or have witnessed gory scenes outside of combat, who actually grasp the horrors that would result from another civil war.
What is the problem with registering your gun? Unless you have something to hide.

I think they want guns registered so if you live in a household with someone undergoing treatment for a mental disorder, you are asked to take additional precautions storing your firearms.

Why would the government try to take the people over anyway? What might they gain by that?
Originally posted by newcovenantThey already feed people who can't afford to feed themselves and help the sick and old. Do people think the government wants more dependents?

I am just wondering what "the government" has to gain by fighting us. I don't think that is the fear.

This makes a man beholden to his boss. That is where they are going.
“The ISRA has learned from a credible source that Illinois Senate President John Cullerton [above] will introduce a so called ‘assault weapons’ ban on Wednesday when the legislature returns for its ‘lame duck’ session. Cullerton hopes to ramrod the bill through and get it to Governor Quinn for signature by Friday. If he is successful at doing so, nearly every gun you currently own will be banned and will be subject to confiscation by the Illinois State Police . . .
“Based on what we know about Cullerton’s bill, firearms that would be banned include all semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns. Pump action shotguns would be banned as well. This would be a very comprehensive ban that would include not only so-called ‘assault weapons’ but also such classics as M1 Garands and 1911-based pistols. There would be no exemptions and no grandfathering. You would have a very short window to turn in your guns to the State Police to avoid prosecution.”
And if the treasonous gun control advocates don't get their way, wouldn't surprise me if they staged another school shooting/fake/real assassination on some members of congress to make sure they vote the right way.

Because every nation that murdered its own citizens in mass to the tune of 50 million in the 20th century first implemented gun registration which always precedes confiscation and then mass murder most recently Britain and Australia.
Guns in the hand of the people are insurance against such atrocities and only fools ignorant of history would give them up and think nothing would ever happen.

Care to show me an example? I think this is BS.

Removing guns out of the hands of the citizens makes them unable to defend themselves. Once that happens, the citizens become much more dependent on the government and the government is able to control them much easier.
The country will be divided on this issue and I fear for what will happen in the near future.
Fear mongering. Obama has NEVER stated that he wants to remove all guns from American citizens. EVER.

Basically, we're looking at 1.5 million trained vets, on their home terf, vs. 2 million military/leo/dhs/cia,etc.
The ods ARE in the American citizens favor. I'm taking 3 too 1, us citizens. I'm currently taking bets.
