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 |
| Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |
