Does history repeat itself? Well, let’s take a quick walk-through history and see if this statement holds true. Looking back to pre-world war two when Nazi Germany was just growing in power, the Nazi’s depicted themselves to the German populous as “the good guys”. The Nazi’s were taking steps to restore order to their great nation. They began by restricting the German citizens civil liberties claiming that this was a small sacrifice and necessary for their personal safety and the safety of the state.
The Nazi’s were able to ensure that their narrative was relayed to the citizens through the manipulation and support of media sources such as newspapers, radio, books, theater, film and education. Starting to sound familiar?
Next on their agenda? Disarm the people. The Nazi’s enacted gun control measures which lead to the total control of firearms, eliminating the threat of opposition and leaving them without the ability to defend themselves. The Nazi’s implemented gun control policy for the safety of their citizens. They managed to slip clauses into the new gun control laws that would ultimately provide the government with complete and total control of gun ownership. Gun and ammunition registries were created for the safety of their citizens. These registries were used to systematically disarm targeted groups. The rate that they were able to disarm the population was startling. Are you beginning to see the parallels?
Now here we are almost eighty years later. Joe Biden is on the verge of taking the office of Presidency. The "Biden administration's" desire to control firearms and the firearm industry should not only be alarming to gun owners but every American citizen.
Joe Biden is peddling his new “Gun Tax” before he even steps foot in the oval office. Gun control advocates are demanding that executive action be taken to restrict access to firearms. This law does not address crime at all. It will target the law-abiding gun owner.
He will start by reinstating the 1994 assault weapons ban. No new AR-15's would be sold, period! Currently, ten round magazines are standard on modern sporting rifles and hand guns. There will now be a magazine restriction. There are currently over 16 million modern sporting rifles or as they call them, AR-15's owned by American citizens. His intent is to confiscate all of those weapons.
Under the National Firearms Act you will have to register your AR-15 and similar such weapons. Not only will you have to register your AR-15 with the ATF, you will have to submit your fingerprints and pay a $200.00 Tax Stamp Fee for each weapon that you own. You will have to pay this tax for the pleasure of having the ability to protect yourself and your family. This new Gun Tax Plan will cost the American gun owners over $34 Billion Dollars.
Joe Biden stated that he will pay gun owners to surrender these guns that are legally owned. The citizens that choose not to sell their guns will be forced to register them. Hence, the new gun registry is born. Is history starting to repeat itself? Under the "Biden administration", he will look to hold gun manufacturers liable for some of the shooting deaths that are happening in America today. This would more than likely force some of the gun manufacturers into bankruptcy. Once again, controlling Americans access to guns. Keep in mind that only two percent of murders are committed with a rifle and eleven percent are committed with a knife. What is next? Banning knives?
This is all a part of the democratic party’s plan to transform the face of America into a socialist nation. So, you tell me, does history repeat itself?.......
