BY ARKANSAS PAUL -- My main fear isn't mass confiscation attempts and battles vs the government. I truly don't think that will happen.
The gun grabbers know that an attempt to forcefully disarm the American public would end in bloodshed. They're not going to attempt it outright. They're going to keep clipping away little by little at our rights. There will be no defining moment in the process I don't think. It will just get more and more strict until one day, many years down the road, gun rights will be a thing of the past.
The reason I think this is that the next generation will be a little more apt to accept it than the previous one, and the next a little more and so on and so forth. I'm afraid we are a dying breed that lives and breathes gunsmoke. I'm young, only 33 but I am aware that my generation as a whole has less die hard 2A supporters than the last. And I suspect it will only get worse. I'm doing what I can raising my child to cherish the RKBA and never give it up under any circumstances, but I really think in 50-60 years it will be drastically different.
Whether it's the progressive bit by bit or in one fell swoop, the gun grabbers will reach a certain point where the people will say "STOP!" I have that much faith in the people. The trouble is, the tyranny will likely already be upon us, and it will cost us many more deaths than if the tyranny is to be stopped while it is knocking at the door, pounding its fist on the podium, and selling us a bill of goods meant to make us ripe for the taking.
Depending upon government for our every need is the path to tyranny. Make it difficult for them. Keep your powder dry and close at hand.
