Guns will be hidden

To advance its goal of banning, confiscating and destroying all privately owned firearms, the subversive anti-gun lobby is pushing background checks, an Obama administration scheme.

Background checks are actually about locating legally owned guns, not about crime or violence. Firearms have to be located before they can be confiscated. Several states, including Washington, have now passed background check laws.

Knowing that the gun-control lobby wants a complete ban on civilian-owned firearms, scores of law-abiding Americans are caching firearms and ammunition. It’s reminiscent of 1775, when our ancestors were hiding arms and ammunition from the Redcoats.

It’s a sad commentary, but a cottage industry has sprung up that specializes in gun burial vaults. These guns will remain hidden until the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the rule of law and America’s traditional values are restored.
