KIBU: I don’t even know what “pieces of history applied in a hallucinating way” even means.
I do know this, however: As you sit tapping away at your keyboard, you reside in what is now one of the most intrusive national security states in modern history (I’m presuming you’re in the United States). This isn’t paranoia, mind you, it’s established fact. So we’re not talking about Hitler, but rather the lessons of history and how they tend to repeat themselves.
You seem either blissfully unaware of this, or in support of it, based on your willingness to arrogate even more power to a government that maintains a kill list of American “enemies”, has already killed an American on foreign soil and engages in unrestricted drone warfare. We won’t go into AUMF, NDAA, or the laundry list of “laws” that do nothing to protect your security and everything to rob you of your essential liberties.
Do I have a problem with commonsense regulations like a universal background check. Absolutely not (as long as it does not include a federal registry). I am all for any and all regulations that prevent gun deaths and increase gun safety. I am, however, very wary of any politicians that make abolishment of my gun rights a stated priority. You need look no further than Miz Pelosi for such an example.
I don’t own an assault rifle and never have, nor do I have plans to own one. I do, however, own weapons that, in my hands, could be considered exceptionally lethal (training for which came courtesy of the US Army), but don’t fall under the assault weapons category. My point? Every firearm is potentially an assault weapon, but personal responsibility matters far more to me in terms of safety than an overweening and intrusive federal government telling me what I can or cannot own.
Spare me your lessons on history, as it appears you’re unable to even see what surrounds you now, in the “land of the free”.
