How long will it be before the fascist/statists get a confiscation bill passed into law? Not while President Trump's in office which won't be until 2024. Then, it's anyone's guess. However, we all would do well to consider the advice of Bob Livingston's newsletter on the topic just posted this past week.

"Hey dad... hey dad. Do we have a gun?"
"What's that?"
"Do we have a gun?"
We see the innocent face of a small child and then the advertisement
fades to black. Whereupon the Ad Council and the Brady Campaign to Take
All the Guns display in stark white letters a new code word they
invented: "Family fire."
After all, taking away guns has
always been about the children. That's what they want you to believe.
And looking at the faces of the children taken from us, it's emotionally
easy to agree with them. After all, who can understand such a heinous
act as taking a rifle into a school and gunning down a bunch of
six-year-olds? Who wants children accidentally shooting each other in
their homes?
But who are the folks at the Brady Center, Michal
Bloomberg, Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein and Corey Booker? They are
statist totalitarians. They're playing on emotions — the emotions of a
grieving populace — to advance their agenda. They don't care about
children. They're disingenuous.
How do I know? If they cared
about children, they'd be weeping over the thousands of children that
America has killed with drone strikes and air raids in Pakistan, Libya,
Syria and Africa. If they cared about children, they'd be outraged that
2,000 babies are aborted every day in America, many on the verge of
being born. If they cared about children, there would not have been 232
synthetic chemicals found in umbilical cord blood samples from babies.
If they cared about children, they wouldn't be doing everything they can
to wrench children away from their fathers and the authority of their
parents "for their health" and put them under the aegis of the state at
every opportunity.
Taking away our ability to protect
ourselves began under the altruistic sounding words "gun control." Now
it's "family fire." As always in such chicanery, these words are totally
misleading. But they have worked their charm on lukewarm church-going
Americans.
Not one in 10,000, when they hear the words
"assisted suicide" and "planned parenthood" think of them as murder. Nor
do many more think of "gun control" as unreasonable or unconstitutional
any longer. Now the attempt is being made through the propaganda of
advertisement to put gun ownership into violent military terms so as to
make it as distasteful and politically incorrect as possible for anyone
to have a gun in their home, lest a child should be injured.
But do not confuse the matter at hand. Politicians don't care about
children. They do what politicians do best: Use a tragedy to push their
freedom-stealing agenda. If a few children die along the way, well...
never let a crisis go to waste. Remember, U.N. Ambassador to the United
Nations Madeleine Albright told 60 Minutes that the deaths of half-a-million Iraqi children from the sanctions were "worth it."
Death is the purview of the military-industrial complex. So first they
want to take away your "assault weapons" and now they want to take the
rest of your weapons so there will be no friendly family fire in the home. Charming.
But if the prevalence of weapons in private possession is the problem,
how is it that people aren't constantly shot to death at gun shows and
competitions? Why are there millions of guns and billions of rounds of
ammunition in the hands of so-called "right wing nuts" — that's you and
me, to the lamestream media — that are stored safely without incident?
Why have the competitors on the History Channel's "Top Shot" not shot
one another on national television? And how is it that gun crime rates
are lower in areas with fewer restrictions on gun ownership?
No, dear reader, guns are not the problem. You and I are the problem, for the statists in government. In An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, Noah Webster wrote:
Before
a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in
almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot
enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people
are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops
that can be,…
The 2nd Amendment was not put in place for hunters or only for
self-defense. It was put in place to protect Americans from
totalitarians in government like New York's Rep. Jerrold Nadler. He once
told CNS News: "One
of the definitions of a nation state is that the state has a monopoly
on legitimate violence. And the state ought to have a monopoly on
legitimate violence. If the premise of your question is that people are
going to resist a tyrannical government by shooting machine guns at
American troops, that's insane."
Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, in his Commentaries on the Constitution,
must have been insane, then, when he wrote, "The right of the citizens
to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the
liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against
the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even
if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to
resist and triumph over them."
Our Constitution has been
shredded and it seems there are few willing to acknowledge it, and fewer
still trying to do something about.
For those willing to study
our country's history, the oppressive nature of government is no
surprise. We were warned by the founders, who broke away from an
oppressive government and formed one that guaranteed certain rights. We
were warned again regarding the military-industrial complex by President
Eisenhower in his farewell speech.
Unfortunately, those
elected to represent us seem to either have no knowledge of these
warnings, our history or our Constitution — or are blatantly
disregarding it to consolidate their power. Concerned citizens need to
hold accountable those they elected, for tyranny rests at your doorstep.
What to look for
I wrote to you last year that you would be well served by keeping an
eagle eye open for any attempt to establish national gun registration.
Cory Booker has now proposed it, as a presidential candidate. This is a
prelude to confiscation of guns of every kind.
Also, keep an
eye out for the end-around gun control with ammunition control. All they
have to do is make ammo in short supply by buying it up. The thought
police can bankrupt every ammunition maker by making guns perfectly
legal but ammunition illegal, or impossible to get without — you guessed
it — registering your purchase.
I remember in years gone by
that many people reloaded spent ammunition. This would be a great
opportunity for you men out there who would like to learn a secondary
trade for a post-collapse society.
Also, buy a gun, get
trained in its use and practice, practice, practice. Don't be a helpless
victim, and I am not talking about crime. Gun laws are not about crime.
They are for disarming the populace in order to give more power to the
State. The Founders understood this concept. Cory Booker, Dianne
Feinstein, Michael Bloomberg and their gun-grabbing ilk know it, too.
They just aren't saying it.
We can't afford to let the elected
elites and the corporate media use tragedies to erase the 1st and
2nd Amendments that were carefully crafted for a reason. The Founding
Fathers understood the necessity of an armed populace if a society was
to remain free.
There is a growing sense of fear from many in
our society over the usurpation and the arbitrary power of rulers. But
more importantly, if a person is to remain secure in his home, he has to
have the ability to defend himself.
I believe that is called life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Yours for the truth,
Bob Livingston

P.S.
— The school shooting in Denver will mean even more calls for "gun
control," even though one of the suspects is mentally ill and almost
certainly taking pharmaceuticals. Where is the outrage over that? And
where are the calls for more preparedness and for better self-defense?
That's exactly how an off-duty border patrol agent saved lives during
the recent synagogue shooting in California... by being armed. This is
why, for your protection, I have quickly arranged for you to get a free
concealed ankle holster by going here right now. The only way to prevent these types of incidents from harming you is to be even better prepared, not disarmed.
