It’s time to remember what the Democrat's party generally seeks regarding guns and gun rights.
The list below was widely circulated while Bill Clinton was in power.
(2015 Update: BATFE actually sought to ban ammunition for America's most popular rifle, the Armalite Rifle 15, commonly known as the AR-15, see items 15, 17 and 20 below, so don't think this list is dead and gone, it is very much on the agenda; they were temporarily stopped by a literal uprising among the public and Congress. BATFE has agreed to hold off, "for the present time.")
The democrat-backed Brady group and similar outfits have been quiet about guns because they want to win the election, and get to impose their goals on your rights.
While reading this list ask yourself: Will any of these plans stop criminals, or will they only affect you, the innocent citizen? Gun control is not about guns, it is about control.
In addition, many of these schemes cannot be applied to criminals thanks to the Fifth Amendment -- and authorities promting these schemes know that. It is forbidden to force people to incriminate themselves. Since criminals cannot have guns in the first place, they cannot be forced to registers their guns, or be held accountable for not having them registered. The complex and expensive licensing and registration plans have no crime fighting component, just huge bureaucracies and federal jobs programs that leach money from true law enforcement.

While it’s true Republicans haven’t done very much to defend your gun rights (OK, they have done a little) in six years of control, they offer little support for the anti-rights disarm-the-public plans the left wing will impose on you if they gain power in the next election. It’s your choice. Do you stay home and evaporate your rights, or go out and defend them at the ballot box? Tell your friends.
If you took the bait and voted early, instead of rising up as a whole and voting on election day like you’re supposed to, this message is too late and you got screwed.
Thanks for reading.
