Not that I agree with our friend here, but he has a bit of a point. Many of our freedoms have already been slowly eroded away since the Civil War by our lawmakers and courts. They thought keeping guns out of the hands of the newly freed slaves was a good thing. They just didn't think those laws would eventually be used against everyone else. Our courts also continue to rule against more people than not when it comes to eminent domain issues. What the government wants, the government usually gets even if they have to condemn your property to get it.

The latest tactic wasn't to go directly after our guns, but to do an end around and get sympathy by saying they gotta close the loopholes because people are selling guns illegally to the Mexican drug lords. Then there's the whole UN small arms thing.

The other and more likely way is to tax guns and ammunition so much that it will become too expensive. Someone else in another thread likened this method to what we have tried to do with cigarettes. Exactly! Those that want our guns are not thinking about how to take them away from us. They are thinking long term and how to convince us that we don't need them.
