Anyone, any time, now has the ability to claim someone else is a threat and have police take their guns. One does not need to delve into the multiple ‘what if’ scenarios to see what sort of ominous implications arise from such a practice. Luckily, some states have put in checks that require further investigation before police go in to take someone’s guns.
As politicians and anti-gun rights activists continuously chant, "we don't want to take your guns," behind the scenes - in only the last five months - politicians have been working overtime to limit your right to bear arms. These laws are all a reaction to the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida and, like most politicians always do, they are not letting this tragedy go to waste.
Since the tragic shooting in Florida in February, the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence has recorded a whopping 55 new gun control measures in 26 states.
"The politics have shifted dramatically," said Robin Lloyd, the government affairs director at Giffords.
As the Denver Post
points out, this massive push for gun control has bipartisan support. In fact, the majority of governors who signed in new gun control measures were Republicans.
That is far more success than they normally see, any way you measure it: in the number of laws, the variety of the laws passed and the bipartisan support a number of them had. Republican governors in 15 states signed bills gun-control advocates supported.
Comment: War is already here but in different terms than PCR implies. The arms industry, and the driving forces behind them, clearly do not need a hot war when the media is so complicit in fighting their battles for them.
