Only a complete moron, ignorant to gun-related FACTS in this failing nation, would believe that taking firearms from law-abiding citizens, could ever help ANYTHING...look at Chicago, Detroit, places where ONLY criminals are allowed to carry firearms due to the draconic, unconstitutional laws brought about by the socialist liberals plaguing this country.A current New York mayor has publicly announced his decision to leave
Mayors Against Illegal Guns because the gun control group demands an
all-out “confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.”In an announcement published by his city’s newspaper,
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Mayor John C. Tkazyik said he quit the group after
realizing it was simply a vehicle for Michael Bloomberg to “promote his
personal gun-control agenda.”
“It did not take long to realize that MAIG’s agenda was much more
than ridding felons of illegal guns,” he stated. “Under the guise of
helping mayors facing a crime and drug epidemic, MAIG intended to
promote confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.”
“I don’t believe, never have believed and never will believe that
public safety is enhanced by encroaching on our right to bear arms and I
will not be a part of any organization that does.”
Tkazyik also pointed out that Chicago’s extremely high crime rates are undeterred by the city’s highly restrictive gun laws.
“Depriving law-abiding citizens of their right to own firearms only makes them more vulnerable,” he added.
Tkazyik’s announcement is a stark contrast to the rhetoric of other politicians who want to grossly violate human rights.
At a gun control event earlier this year, Austin, Texas City Council
Member Mike Martinez admitted that gun control is simply a step-by-step
process to completely eliminate the Second Amendment.
While pointing at a sign held by a protestor which read “Stop Gun
Ban,” Martinez said that “someone needs to inform him that there is no
gun ban currently, but because of the work we’re doing today, we will
make [his] sign legitimate shortly.”
“So you hang on to that [sign],” he said to a cheering crowd of gun control advocates.And in a flashback to 1995, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca.) told 60
Minutes that she wanted to outright ban all firearms owned by Americans.
“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States
for an outright ban, picking up every one of them … ‘Mr. and Mrs.
America, turn them all in,’ I would have done it,” she said.
This is the true intent of gun control, even though many of its
advocates whitewash the truth with a variety of propaganda techniques or
by just simply being ignorant.
For example, the organizers for the event at which Martinez spoke
told reporters that they didn’t want to ban guns even though that is
exactly what Martinez demanded in his speech.
Gun control advocates constantly parrot deceptive phrases such as
“common sense solutions” and “we don’t want to ban guns” when selling
their agenda which will only lead to the complete disarmament of the
population by authoritarians.
Fortunately, on the other hand, Mayor Tkazyik is joining an
ever-increasing list of public officials who have denounced gun control.
Last month, Detroit’s Police Chief James Craig told reporters that legal gun owners deter crime.
“Coming from California, where it takes an act of Congress to get a
concealed weapon permit, I got to Maine, where they give out lots of
Carrying Concealed Weapon [permits], and I had a stack of CCW permits I
was denying; that was my orientation,” he said. “I changed my
orientation real quick; Maine is one of the safest places in America.”
“Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed.”
And last year, Erie Co., N.Y. Sheriff Timothy B. Howard publicly
announced that his department would not enforce New York’s latest gun
control law, the SAFE Act.
“It’s an unenforceable law and I believe it will ultimately be declared unconstitutional,” he said to reporters. “Do you want law enforcement people that will say ‘I will do this because I’m told to do this, even if I know it’s wrong?’”
It is refreshing to see elected officials serving their constituents while also respecting the Bill of Rights. 4951

In a way, I wish the Feds would try to confiscate our guns.  It would give the citizens of this country an opportunity to clean house. 4951

@Retired_Engineer: FREEDOM!!!!!  You got to say it with a blue face though.I think an all out confiscation of guns would end up sending this county into a revolution.  They are being at least a little bit subtle right now, sorta kinda maybe, but there are still too many of us out there that hold to the constitution and our rights as citizens.
