The gradual erosion of firearms use in the US needs to culminate sometime. Perhaps now is the time.
No matter when it does, there will be revolt. Some folks won't fall for the confiscatory purpose, and we will be likely to see more prosecutions for illegal possession of firearms, as well as more confiscations of possessions yet legal under current law.
Fortunately, 3D printing and alternative technologies are making the confiscation moot.
In fact a far more dangerous threat than armed police or military thugs is the EMF radiation and psychological control mechanisms that are being implemented globally. Counters to these weapons are yet to be broadly discussed, and are probably far more time sensitive.
Particularly when you consider that Dr. Jose Delgado was able to stop a charging bull with a remote control in 1969, and Dr. Henricus Loos patented a device to impact people mentally using nothing more than variable frequency of monitor refresh rates.
The ability of such devices to impact human mental processes today is probably vastly underestimated, and means of countering such mechanisms of existential need.
Thanks!
