Proposed rule change that would bar "gun talk" on line?

Let history be your guide, when freedom of speech is suppressed and guns confiscated, its all over.

Most recent history I can think of is modern day Venezuela. From Democracy (believe it or not they used to be a Constitutional Republic much like we used to be) to Dictatorship.

The Obama administration’s latest anti-gun salvo isn’t about reducing gun violence or stopping the export of dangerous weapons, it’s about pure retaliation against a non-profit that sued the government in federal court last month.

Defense Distributed, a pro-Second Amendment non-profit organization that provides blueprints, plans, and machinery to fabricate or finish firearm components, has been at war with the State Department for nearly two years.

One obvious target here is 3D printing.

That is one. I imagine the intent is to make the rule as broad as possible so they can target whoever they want. Which is the intent of most of the numerous regulations in place.

Goes along with a signature line quote I use on a board (or the one I use here as well):

“The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” Ayn Rand
