Subject: Re: Biden was never in charge
They were convinced back then that we were on the precipice of having all our guns grabbed. It never happened. And it still hasn’t happened.
This is one of the ways they control low info people like Dope.
We can't get even the least effective gun control laws passed. Guns confiscated? Ain't going to happen except by an authoritarian regime which in this country would almost certainly come from the right, not the left.
During Bill Clinton's administration the folks in San Juan County, Utah, just down the road from where I live, were sure that the ATF was on the way to confiscate their guns. They even circulated a rumor that ATF agents disguised as burglars were breaking into gun owners homes and stealing their guns! The rumor went that the ATF agents had made it as far as the Mississippi and were headed west. Such stupidity!
So the local county commission decided that the only recourse for defending their 2A rights was to require every male of 18 years of age or older to join a local militia, feeling that that would be the best way to foil the attempts to take away their 2A rights.
I am not making this shit up. The local Monticello newspaper even ran a front page article with a big bold headline about men having to join the militia.
Such stupidity.
