The Freedom Group bought Remington Arms as well as Marlin. George Soros is not in anyway connected to that group. This was an old rumor that you didnt fact check.

Very good point. Proves that stronger legislation of firearms is fruitless. There are other alternatives that would have better results.

Not that it matters to the democrats, but at least we have the Constitution to at least slow them down a little.


They are not known for following the rules.

They will never follow something they want to re-write.

I fully believe the current powers that be would prefer to disarm our society. However, I'm curious if there are some road blocks to accomplishing that.

If guns begin to be confiscated, what happens to the gun companies? Put them all out of business? Thousands, if not millions of Americans out of work? Who will the military turn to for new firearms and designs?

Wildlife control. How will states control deer and other wildlife if guns are mostly non existent in the population? Imagine the eastern states bear populations if there is no human take. Waterfowl also.

Ammo, military needs ammo. Can't put the ammo biz out of work. No private firearms, no ammo makers mostly.

PR funds. Pittman Robertson funds are at all time highs. More money available than the states can match. How will state wildlife management be paid for without PR?

Spin off industries from hunters, gun owners. Millions or billions of dollars spent on clothing, equipment, etc. etc. Some of these industries would have a loud voice I would think with their federal reps. Even FB has hundreds of FB groups around gun use, hunting, trapping.

What do you all think?


All good points, but you're trying to make to much sense out of what amounts to pure politics. Look for example at the Keystone pipeline that Biden and the D's just shut down, that put tens of thousands out of work and wasted the best chunk of 16 billion dollars. The original cost was to have been 5 billion and finished by 2008. This will certainly be detrimental to Americans spending at the fuel pumps by mid summer. Right now we will see slowly rising fuel prices until the end of flu season, coupled with the efficacy of the vaccine and people getting back on the road worldwide, cruise ships sailing, airlines flying again and a return to a normalcy, oil prices are projected to rise 50-75% from now until mid summer. I guess we'll see?..... The point is they will do it even if it won't make sense.

Be careful what you post, there are probably bots and traitors data mining everything you type as evidence when they bring a double top secret red flag case against you

Wrong! Did you read gun control bill HR 127 introduced by Sheila Jackson? It will eliminate hunting as we know it. The bill states that everybody that owns a firearm even a single shot 22 rifle will have to be licensed with a fee and renewed every year with a fee plus register all existing firearms you own. You will also have to get a psychological exam (probably from a government appointed psychologist) to even keep the firearm. If you fail the exam all firearms will be confiscated. End of hunting. Period.

Dont hide. Just say no. If people hide, get declared felons for doing it, they will jail people one family at a time. Dont hide, say no from the start.
