Like I mentioned in another thread, "Do you think when the troops hit the streets, they will be asking if you are a Dem/Rep?"......
Of course not. Because it's never been about party-- a fact which the many party-flag wavers here and elsewhere seem to not realize, or ignore. It's not even about conservative versus liberal (which in recent years has just become another synonym for republican versus democrat). But many have been too busy loudly yelling at each other-- defending the party line-- which I'm sure is just what they've wanted you to do.
Just because "conquer and divide" is older than dirt doesn't mean it's ineffective.
And yes, OP, if legit this is more than a little disconcerting.

Do you think that countries like the United Kingdom, the United States or even Germany are protected against any form of rouge Government???? Let's hope it never happens, but if it happens, we at least have means to defend ourselves .. while you guys on the Island and the great European Union basically get overrun.

There is no reasonable argument against gun control...
Among Kleck’s findings:
For every use of a gun to commit a crime, there are three-to-four cases of guns being used in self-defense of a crime.
Assault and robbery rates are lower when victims are armed with a gun.
A gun is used in self-defense to protect its owner from crime 2.5 million times per year, an average of once every 13 seconds.
Fifteen percent of the gun defenders interviewed believed someone would have died if they had not been armed. If true, that’s an average of one life saved due to firearm self-defense every 1.3 minutes.
In nearly 75% of the cases, the victim did not know his attackers. In nearly 50% of the cases, he faced at least two attackers and in nearly 25% of the cases, there were three or more attackers. A quarter of the incidents of self-defense occurred away from the home.

No wonder most of your population have shrinks and are on Diazepam. Americans must be the most paranoid nation on earth. The second admendment was fine for the time it was written in, history has moved on, it is no longer needed ............ scrap it!

They are testing us to see where we draw the lines.
We didn't fight hard enough against the wars, the vaccines, the gmo, the corruption but if they cross the line with guns, it might be game over for them.
Every American should know the bill of rights is unalienable and every American should fight for all 10 of the bill of rights as equally as they would fight for the first amendment.
We are on the right side of history folks, nothing to worry about. Let them test us and let them see where the lines will be drawn.

This is the ONLY argument for gun control... and its moronic, to say the least.
You think a marginally armed citizenry will defend you against a ridiculous conspiracy that you have all been banking on for the past 15 years? If "TPTB" (who the hell is that?) are as powerful as you seem to think, then your assault rifle is about as useless as a snowball.
You dont need guns, you certainly shouldn't have guns (judging by your track record...). Having a gun will not stop criminals, dictators, or the red coats.
The degree of access in unbelievable, and results in 30,000 deaths every year. There is no reasonable argument against gun control...
although, there are plenty of unreasonable ones, as has been clearly demonstrated by the ATS readership.
You like the second amendment? Fine, you can own all the muskets you want.
Assault rifles, rocket launchers, high-caliber weapons... necessary? Inbred hicks.
