Consider: The Latest Scheme to Turn Gun Owners into Criminals

They came for the 1st Amendment and destroyed the public exercise of Christianity.

And we said nothing, because we were not religious…

In reference to the point that Jonathan Moseley makes in his article, what the left is essentially trying to do to the 2nd Amendment is what they did to the “freedom of religion” enshrined in the 1st Amendment: they legislated from the bench that the intent was and should be not “freedom of religion” but “freedom from religion” (no public display of any form of religion, although Christianity was their true target, because the 1st Amendment creates a “wall of separation” protecting anyone from having to witness anything religion). When Thomas Jefferson wrote that phrase in a letter to a Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut in 1802, he meant the exact opposite: that the government would not adopt an official religion, so the Baptists did not have to fear being outlawed or oppressed. Jefferson was stating that the 1st Amendment guarantees “freedom of religion” to practice it openly and in public with no fear of being oppressed.

The left wants to do play the same dirty trick on the 2nd Amendment. Their goal is to destroy the “bear arms” part of the Amendment by claiming (and eventually finding a black-robed tyrant who will legislate from the bench) that they have a right to “freedom from firearms.”

They will attempt to subvert and pervert the USC to establish that the 2nd Amendment guarantees that, if they don’t want to keep and bear arms personally, they therefore have a “freedom from keeping and bearing arms” and that means never having to be anywhere near a firearm in any public space, which means that those who support and exercise the 2nd Amendment will never be able to take their firearms from their homes.

Except to turn them in, as we saw recently in the now tyrannical nation of New Zealand, which is true goal of the left.
