the western leftists are no different from the bolsheviks of 1917. It's the exact same philosophy in a new wrapper. They want a mandatory one-world "utopia" where all free thought and individual conscience is punished with the gulag. And of course, in order to achieve that vision, guns must be banned so all dissent to that tyranny is ineffectual. Through the ages, the left has hated guns as much as they hate strong independent nations and Christianity. So it's more than just a fight over semi automatics. It's a fight for this nation's soul and future.
I agree with you on all points. I would like to add one small thing. This brand of statist leftists only hates guns when they are in the hands of strong independent individuals. I would wager that this new breed of left likes guns but only when they are in their hands (like fed entities under their control). What this new statist left wants is absolute power and the only stumbling block to that is all of us private gun owners. One thing to worry about is what happens to us if their plans are realized? What has happened to all people in history and modern times when they are disarmed?
