First, they came for the machine guns, and I did not speak out—because they said only gangsters used machine guns. Then they came for the short-barreled shotguns, and I did not speak out—because they said only bootleggers used short-barreled shotguns. Then they came for the imported guns with "no sporting purpose", and I did not speak out—because they said only assassins used imported guns with no sporting purpose. Then they came for the silencers, and I did not speak out—because they said only hitmen used silencers. Then they came for the assault-style weapons, and I did not speak out—because they said only potential school shooters wanted assault-style weapons. Then they came for the high-capacity magazines, and I did not speak out—because they said only mass murderers needed high-capacity magazines. Then they came for the 3D-printed guns, and I did not speak out—because they said only right-wing nutjobs would 3D-print a gun. Then they came for the bump stocks, and I did not speak out—because they said only rednecks used bump stocks. Then they came for the ammunition, and I did not speak out—because they said only paranoid preppers wanted more than a box or two of ammo. Then they came for me—and they had machine guns.
Actually it IS relevant. The claim is being made "then they came for me"...so it's damn relevant to ask who 'they' is and why 'they' would come for you.
Do you really think the OP was meant to be an historical depiction of a specific event? Would you say an ethnic Jew has more cause to keep firearms for defense than, for example, and ethnic German, because one has more historically been persecuted than the other?
It's an allegory on the creeping encroachments on Liberty. Accept one without complaint and further assaults on Liberty and Freedom are sure to follow. I am not; it was sent to me by a friend, attributed to "Anonymous". I thought I had that in the post but obviously I didn't and I apologize for that oversight.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...ban-semi-automatics-half-want-to-ban-all-guns I have semi-automatics, and I won't be getting rid of them. If the more authoritarian of the anti-semiautomatic folks get their way, they'll be coming for me to take them. No will you answer my questions since I answered yours?
Maybe if someone had been able to provide them guns they would not have been victims. Maybe we should ask someone form JPFO what they think.
Been my experience whenever someone says what you just posted it means they can’t explain it. What’s funny is the person I posted the question to already answered me.
No they won’t. No one is coming to take all your guns. That was my entire point of asking that question. To answer your questions. No. No. Not sure why you even asked your questions as your questions had absolutely nothing to do with what I was asking.
And yet those who were victims of the holocaust were first subjected to being disarmed by law. The only reason such is dismissed as a possibility, is because the supporters of various firearm-related restrictions cannot reason away what did actually occur, or present anything to assure the public that such a development is not a possibility.
Then perhaps the politicians of the united states should simply cease talking about firearms confiscations and prohibitions.
