Those who believe that no one wants to take away all guns or the Second Amendment are sadly mistaken or hiding their agenda.
The U.S. government argued in federal court (U.S. v. Emerson, 2001) that there is absolutely no right of an individual to own firearms. More recently, John Paul Stevens, the 97-year-old retired Supreme Court justice, called for the repeal of the Second Amendment and is encouraging anti-gun protesters to do the same.
At the anti-gun rallies in March there were many signs sayings, “I wish Obama had taken your guns,” “Ban all guns,” “Yes, in fact, I am here to take your guns.” |

The US may have argued in Emerson that an individual has no right to own a gun, but that stands in defiance of the Second Amendment's plain wording, to say nothing of Heller.
You're here to take my guns?
Better bring yours.
You'll need them.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
