I don't think even they believe their bullshit. It's just necessary to remove the guns from the hands of the "little people."
The ridiculousness of it is only magnified when one takes the 2nd Amendment in the context of history...not just the time it was written, but the 200+ years since. Volumes have been written by Very Smart Men who read it to mean exactly what it says. "...shall not be infringed".
The liberals/leftists/Marxists (redundant I know) don't care about what it plainly says. These people are experts in delusional thinking. Guns = scary do guns must be controlled. Gun control certainly didn't do us any good here in Australia - the crime rate increased.

Every state in the history of mankind has disarmed its citizens once it grew to a size where its corruption and privilege was an obvious problems. Don't want the peons causing a fuss over $1.4 billion a year to keep our Golf Cart King happy.

DeleteWERE obvious problems. GOD! I wish I would proof stuff. But then...why start now?
DeleteYeah, I'm aware the PTB know know *exactly* what they're doing. I should have been clearer. I was referring more to the idiocracy.
