20 years ago, Canada implemented a gun registration program similar to what President Obama and his staff are working on right now. So, all Canadians registered their guns and the government had a complete list of who had what type of guns. Then the leaders of Canada voted to out-law a type of gun, because they deemed that it isn't needed by the public. Then they added another and another. Each person would have to return their gun to the authorities and there were no reimbursement of the cost of the gun. This is very similar to what President Franklin Roosevelt did when he confiscated all the gold in America...no reimbursement of cost. Now, no private citizen has a gun according to their records.
Now, here we are in a point of time like the Canadians about to pass legislation that will mandate registration of all guns either through registration with the government or insurance. If we go through with this, we will be in the same situation as Canada 20 years from now or sooner.
Why do I worry about this and the second amendment? It is very simple and our founding fathers realized this when they added the second amendment to the bill of rights. Yes, this is one of our rights as a human being in the United States. What the British used to do is they would confiscate all weapons from the private citizens. Then they would take what they needed for their army from the citizens and no one could fight back. This is what they call tyranny. King George had the colonist under tyrannic rule, because many couldn't fight back and just gave up their homes, their land, their crops and other possessions (No soldier shall quartered in any citizens home without their permission, 3rd amendment). If they fought it, they would be shot or imprison. The second amendment was added to prevent our current government to do this same thing. So far, it has been hard for them to confiscate something they need or they believe is a threat to the government like Waco. I am not condoning what that crazy guy in Waco was about, but the government had a hard time to flex their muscles and take his compound. Really, he wasn't hurting anyone. He was a crazy person who lived a life I nor the government agreed with. So, the government raided the compound and everyone died on the compound.
With guns out of our hands, government can confiscate our property, which is in the bill of rights...4th amendment. They can control speech, but dictating what media can broadcast and which ones will be closed down. In order to succeed, they will need to increase the size of government and through that, the government will tell us we have a revenue problem, not a spending problem. They need more money the best way to get it is through taxes, fees from regulations, inflation by weakening the currency and finally, control the private business so much, that only a select few designated by government officials as the only ones who can do business.
The two things that are being address so they can go forward to their next plan is to set in motion to get the guns out of the private citizens hands and to raise revenue based on their belief. President Obama has never worked a job in the private sector and only worked in the public sector briefly as an activist. Therefore him and others from his political belief, believe that the only way to raise revenue is to tax more, first the rich and then the rest through programs such as Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security and other programs that he will create like the Affordable Health Care Act. There are so many newly created taxes in this plan that we won't start to see it until 2014 and when it reaches its full stride in 2018. For businesses there will be 13 new taxes. Many small and medium businesses will not be able to afford it and eventually will close and work for either the government or go on one of the government programs that help the poor, because it will be easier and no incentive to move on. One thing about revenue that most people of the same belief as our president is that if they let business flourish and grow, they would generate more revenue through the current tax programs that implemented.
Revenue is generated from the movement of product and services through private enterprise. The more movement through the hands of customers, the more tax revenue is generated. However, if we spend our money toward government mandated regulations, the less we can spend on moving our product through hiring people and buying more from vendors. This is the fundamental difference in belief. Those who own businesses and rely on the movement of product or service (Not government service) understand this. Obama has never owned a business nor has he ever worked in the private sector in his whole life. So naturally, him and others like him believe that we tax more from us, the people, the more jobs they create in government. One day, the money will either dry up or the people will rebel. As long as the second amendment stays intact with no changes as it is written, we will have the power to rebel. However, some leaders have other plans. They want a total socialist society and taking the guns away will give them the power and our country will be another third world country. The decision to keep our Republic or let it go as we have been doing for the past 20 years and I include Bush in this equation as well. Both parties have been working toward this one world government to match the Europeans. This decision is ours.
