That is what socialists/communists do. That is what they did in Russia, China, etc. They cannot CONTROL a population that is armed. That is why the wise Founding Fathers did not advocate gun control or place any restrictions on them. They knew that sooner or later the control freaks would try to take control of our government. A study of history reveals that nothing is really new under the sun. It has happened again and again. Read history and understand the future.
