While there is a lot of scaremongering out there regarding taking away guns from American citizens the reality is far difference.

If you stop to look you'll find that since this rabble-rousing about "taking away our guns" began the number of guns in the US has gone up dramatically. This is of course a VERY PREDICTABLE OUTCOME. If you assume for five seconds that the people behind this kind of social programming have moderate brainpower (they do), you may thusly conclude that this was their desired result.

Foolish mistakes with unintended outcomes blow up in your face quickly. They don't continue for decades. This is a policy, and the policy is clearly to increase gun sales and availability, despite what the tv news liar might say.
