What makes you think America is different from other countries today and more importantly from the past? How many countries since 1880 have disarmed their own citizens to gain power? Literally door to door. Your ignorance may be bliss, but it does not make it fact. The movement you see in our country today is the exact movement these other countries seen right before they confiscate arms, and some sort of communism is stalled. Again why would this country be exempt?The whole 'they're going to confiscate our firearms' thing is nothing more than a myth and everyone with even a touch of common-sense knows it because, if for no other reason, it would be a logistically impossible task. Yet that myth keeps being rolled-out time and time again for no other reason than to demonize some members of of our government or Democrats, in general.
Virtually EVERY government is "scared of its ppl" because virtually every government knows that they sit in their 'seats of power' only because it's the people that put them there and it's the people that can take them away. Revolutions are not won by guns, but by the sheer will of the people willing to face those guns.
