Confusion is the Goal of Gun Control

I saw this headline today: Confusion Reigns as Gun Control Law Takes Effect in Connecticut; Meanwhile NRA Continues the Fight, and it made me realize something you perhaps already know.

Confusion is the goal of the gun grabber.

Why? Because if people can’t understand gun laws, many of them will simply give up ever buying a gun. Think of the forms one has to fill when buying a gun at the gun store, just answering “No” or “Yes” in the wrong section can get your purchase declined. Years ago when I was young I kept screwing up the form, back in those days, you couldn’t just erase it and put the right answer, you had to fill up the entire form all over.

Our comrades in Connecticut are facing this:

 Among other things, the 140-page law bans large classes of firearms and magazines that had been obtained lawfully by tens of thousands of Connecticut residents.  Limited grandfather provisions apply to those who registered otherwise banned items before January 1, 2014.  Others in possession could face felony penalties for violations.  President Obama himself was in Connecticut four days after this bill became law, praising it as a model for the nation.

Just imagine, the night before all those guns were legal and with the stroke of a pen, they are now illegal, and even the Connecticut State Police is giving inconsistent answers. In other words, the authorities don’t even know the laws they’re supposed to enforce!

I’m not surprised a dirty lawyer like Obama calls this the model for the nation, are lawyers not the ultimate in creating confusion? Are they not people who speak a different legal language, who can get off a criminal on a technicality or turn a law-abiding man into a criminal using a different technicality?

The NRA tells it best:

As for the legislature, they should repeal this ill-considered, politically-motivated law with the Orwellian title of “An Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children’s Safety.”  Children are not safe when their parents are classified as criminals subject to arrest and imprisonment for the earlier acquisition of property that was undertaken lawfully and in good faith and which threatens harm to no one in the present.  Children are not safe when the next knock at the door could be an armed squad of policemen who are serving warrants against a class of citizens who have done nothing to harm others but have summarily been condemned as “armed criminals.”

What a sad world we live in, illegal aliens get to pay in-state tuition, marijuana is being legalized, it seems everyone else is getting their rights protected, everyone but us that is. Yet what can be done about Connecticut? The judges are not on our side, neither is the legislature, so other than boycotting them and urging gun companies to move elsewhere we don’t have a lot of options.

Our enemies know they can’t repeal the Second Amendment, so they want to make gun laws so confusing so they can achieve repeal by default. However, there is one bright line at the end of this hellish tunnel, there aren’t enough prisons for all the gun owners they want to turn into criminals.
