Gun Control

By Heyes: (NaturalNews) In the wake of the mass murder of six-year-olds at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, the usual anti-gun suspects once again crawled out of the woodwork to decry the Second Amendment and push for "more sensible gun control laws" that would "prevent anything like this from happening again."

One of those measures was an old favorite of the gun banners: Gun registration, because after all, it is a "responsible" thing for government to know what weapons you own, where you keep them and how often you buy or sell them.

In the face of the outrageous IRS intimidation scandal now sweeping across America, gun control advocates are changing their tune. All of a sudden, the idea that the federal government could engage in tyranny against the People of America is no longer a “conspiracy theory.” It’s historical fact right in your face thanks to all the recent scandals now bursting onto the scene: IRS intimidation, secret targeting of non-profit groups for possible “thought crimes,” the Department of Justice seizing AP phone records and so on.

There have been way too many outrageous examples of paranoid over-reactions since the rash of school shootings like Sandy Hook (December 14, 2012) and going all the way back to Columbine (April 20, 1999).

In New York City on a recent morning, a man approached a woman standing at a Queens bus stop, forced her to a nearby cemetery by knifepoint, then proceeded to rape her.

At least 200 jobs will soon be lost in the state of Colorado, thanks to the treasonous signing of two new gun control bills by Governor John Hickenlooper. Magpul Industries, a major manufacturer of firearm magazines and other accessories, has announced it will move its operations out of the state since a significant number of its products will soon be made illegal in the state.

In all the noise caused by the Obama administration’s direct assault on the right of every person to keep and bear arms, the essence of the issue has been drowned out. The president and his big-government colleagues want you to believe that only the government can keep you free and safe, so to them, the essence of this debate is about obedience to law.

Beretta USA is threatening to leave Maryland over new gun control proposals, the Washington Post reports, and they would take hundreds of jobs along with them.

In a twist on the typical anti-gun legislation floating around in statehouses and the nation's capital these days, a lawmaker from Missouri is taking a different tact. Rather than criminalizing gun owners, he is seeking to criminalize fellow legislators who attempt to criminalize the state's gun owners.
