Why would they now backtrack on their decision to allow guns to fall into the hands of practically every American who wants one? I think that they have allowed the population to arm itself for a reason, because it sets the stage for a revolution which, as always, will play into the hands of the elite
I agree with your statement in theory. But when I think about gun laws and disarmament, I do think it could be a possibility, and that it will still play into the hands of the elite.
There already exists in many states strict gun control laws that require giving most of your personal information in order to register a weapon (handy data base). Only the 'law abiding' citizens would actually comply. Some states allow owning weapons without registering them, but require 'concealed weapons permits' in order to carry them in a way that they might be useful for self defense. That still leaves alot of people who own guns 'illegally'.
'Disarmament' would generate alot of fear, particularly for the 'law abiding' citizens, when law enforcement comes a knocking demanding every registered weapon they own. Meanwhile, the next door neighbor who is watching out his window and securing his unregistered arsenal thinking Thank god I didn't register my guns.
They have already allowed guns to fall into the hands of practically every American who wants one. They can only collect them from those they know have them. And the few they might catch with them and then confiscate. They are very aware that many, many more people will still own weapons and will be useful in 'taking out' a good portion of us 'useless eaters' if their were ever a Revolution (and as it appears lately, without a Revolution).
And in reality, those weapons would be useless against the elite at the top of the pyramid when they could wipe us all out with a few drones. They sacrifice their own, the ones at the bottom of the pyramid, the 'enforcers' without hesitation. And then hold them up as Heroes. You can kill your neighbor, we'll just lock you up and throw away the key, kill a 'Officer of the Law' and we will hunt you down and blow you off the face of the earth.
So anyway I've been thinking (I know scary), disarmament does have an historical precedent and would not have any overall affect in keeping guns out of the hands of the masses. But it might be a good means of instilling fear. In Nazi times they would barge into your home in search of Jews, now they can barge into your homes in search of weapons. And yes they are already barging into homes, but this would allow a mass 'embargement?'. It may be a possibility, there may not even be enough time to implement it, and no doubt Disarmament will benefit the PTB as a distraction in the mean time.
PS. I am not pro-gun, I do not own a gun. I stand for Pre-Disarmament, and for a society that would never have invented them in the first place.
