Many in America think that we are so heavily armed as a population that we could never be disarmed. But consider Russia. They were free under the Tsar and one of the most heavily armed societies. That all changed when Stalin and the communists took control. Stalin was able to control, starve, punish and imprison a defenseless people… after he took their guns. Now an internal Department of Justice memo is out which indicates that Barack Obama and company are talking gun confiscation with a forerunner of federal gun registration, says Tim Brown on thedailysheeple.com.

He goes on to say that according to the January 4, 2013 internal memo, Deputy Director of the National Institute for Justice Greg Ridgeway wrote, “Assault weapons are not a major contributor to gun crime. The existing stock of assault weapons is large, undercutting the effectiveness of bans with exemptions.” Then proceeded to state a goal of “Limit access to assault weapons.” The memo then went on to state that their program is to “Ban the manufacture, sale, transfer, or possession of assault weapons.” This is a camel’s nose sniffing around the edge of the tent.

With all of this, including the study data provided, Ridgeway states, “a complete elimination of assault weapons would not have a large impact on gun homicides.”

However, there is more. The memo goes on to put forth something else that can be added that would make it far more effective and that is mandatory gun buybacks, which are nothing more than government confiscation of firearms. “Since assault weapons are not a major contributor to US gun homicide and the existing stock of guns is large, an assault weapon ban is unlikely to have an impact on gun violence. If coupled with a gun buyback and no exemptions then it could be effective,” it reads.

So we can conclude there is another reason that the Obama administration wants to deprive Americans of semi-automatic weapons. While most in this audience already know what that is, for those new here, it is a step towards disarming the American people.

Based upon the memo and what you havew read do you agree or disagree?
