Leftists keep on lying about their true goals on guns to get everyone to accept the intermediate steps to confiscation.

What is the far left’s end game on guns? Anyone on the pro-freedom right side of the political spectrum has known this answer for years. Gun confiscation has always been the ultimate goal of every collectivist authoritarian down through history since firearms were invented, from the Bolsheviks, and National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party, to the Democrats and every leftist extremist in between. 

And yet, leftists and the nation’s socialist media still play the gaslighting game of pretending they only want “common sense gun reform” or safety or whatever’s the deception du jour this week. Do they expect us to accept their lie that “No one is talking about confiscating guns” when we’ve documented they’ve been talking about that for 30 years? And despite their ever-creative writing, we understand unconstitutional ‘red flag’ orders are nothing but gun confiscation without due process.

This is probably one reason they had such a problem with Jason Aldean’s Try That In A Small Town (full disclosure, our town is so small, it doesn’t even have a red light). Because it brought this to the forefront of pop culture to people who probably haven’t thought of their government going all collectivist authoritarian on them and confiscating their guns.

All of this raises the larger question: can there be any other end game on guns? Does the far left expect everyone to fall for some fantasy fiction that they will take every step towards gun confiscation and eviscerating your common-sense civil rights and then stop just short of their goal of total control?

If they were honest about their ultimate goal, no one would fall for the intermediate steps.  Incremental moves that do nothing to reduce “gun violence” are only useful in advancing toward controlling and confiscating guns. They want absolute control over your private property (guns, gas stoves, generators, etc.) with unconstitutional “universal background checks” so they can impose universal gun registration. Which ultimately leads to universal gun confiscation.

But, let’s consider what they said out loud when they thought they had the tyrannical winds at their back ten years ago, during a perfect storm for gun control in the early months of 2013. Barack Hussein Obama had just been re-selected as president and the tragedy at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut had just taken place. It was a perfect launching point for Obama’s second term to go after our God-given civil right of self-defense. The far left was feeling their oats, and they weren’t being shy about finally trotting out the ‘C’ word, starting with that paragon of women’s rights, former NY Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo: “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option.”

But that was nothing compared to the fevered fascists of the far-left over on the ‘daily Kos’ and two writeups on what they would love to do with our guns. One of the fantastic aspects of Al Gore’s creation, the internet, is that everything is forever, and the archive sites archive. today and the Internet Archive are available. So, these screeds are still available – in multiple copies – in these two locations. 

You may even want to download, save, and print out copies of these for posterity, because of their mind-blowing insights into the collective thinking of the left. Each says the quiet part out loud about how they want to confiscate guns.  

The first one entitled: How to Ban Guns: A step by step, long term process, talks about setting up a scheme to make it easy to register your guns, so they can set up a national gun registry. Of course, this would do nothing to “reduce gun violence”; it would only help in the next step, confiscating guns. They would also outlaw private sales of guns so that you would have to buy them through official channels to add it to the registry so – you guessed it – it can be confiscated later. Are you detecting a theme in all of this ‘gun safety’ talk?
