Paranoia Strikes NRA & Co. Deeply

Surely you’ve heard. The government wants to take your guns. The government may act like it doesn’t want to take your guns, but you definitely should not believe that, because the government wants to keep a list of all your guns in a massive government database, and it wants to use that massive government database to come to your front door, possibly in the middle of the night and wearing vintage Nazi footwear, and barge in without a warrant or probable cause and take your guns. Somehow, this attitude rules our gun laws and wins our gun debates. It is always the elephant in the room, even when people are trying to talk about other things/Shawn Vestal, SR. More here.

Question: Do you think the federal government will really try to take your guns away, in your lifetime?
