Sneaky Gun Control Tactics

If you knew you couldn't outright take something away from people, then how do you go about using other measures to effectively "ban" that thing by making it useless? Well you would simply pretend to support people's rights by telling them that you wouldn't ban something, and instead use sneaky tactics behind the scenes to effectively do the same thing that your intended ban would do by so heavily regulating it that it is a useless right. Those who seek to take control of the White House aren't stupid. They know exactly how to sneak their agendas through because they know that the sheeple are gullible and will be willing recipients of their tactics. So let's take a look at how this is done...

The article "We're All Gun Nuts Now: The Democrats sidle up to the Second Amendment." By John McCormack, which appears in the May 19, 2008 edition of The Weekly Standard, discusses how the presidential candidates answered (or more to the point sidestepped) questions about their support for gun control. They pleaded ignorance to briefs presented in the Washington D.C. versus Heller case, which is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, and even outright denied participation in previous gun control polls and discussions. Then later they began to emerge with statements about how they:

"will not take away a law abiding citizen's right to hunt target shoot (and later adding) defend their families"

Basically, what this article points out is the obvious and well known notion that politicians such as Obama will sidestep the issues while they are campaigning, then turn the tables and do whatever they darn well please once they are elected. They make statements about their support for the 2nd Amendment by saying things like:

"I support the 2nd Amendment, BUT" or "I believe in common sense' and reasonable' gun laws"

What people (like Obama) really mean is that they have a gun control agenda that they want to push through. They know that they can't do it overtly, so they disguise it so as to be palatable or even a different thing altogether to try to fool even the reasonable gun owner. The rest of the brainwashed sheeple won't care what it is that the politicians are trying to do they are too lazy or stupid to do research, or they just plain don't care about their rights being taken away one by one. Many of the people who fall into that category anyway (sheeple, I mean) prefer to live in a "nanny state" where the government takes care of all their needs. These
