Democrats want total control

The basis of the philosophy of the Democratic Party is that people should trust the Government for all their needs, and to achieve that goal the party requires total people control. Individual initiative by people to provide for their own existence and improving their life is an entrepreneurial spirit. lt is mocked, hindered, or crushed by Democrats who require a mass group of people such as poorly educated and illegal immigrants to maintain birth-to-death control.

Unless the public are denuded of their guns, Democrats believe control cannot be imposed on the population. Thus they campaign extensively to galvanize support for more gun control even as Islamic terrorism is increasing. Witness the Paris and San Bernardino massacres when the Democrats initially denied it was Islamic terrorism.

Gun control under whatever falsity is pandered such as harassing gun owners by passing the New York SAFE Act limiting them to 7-round magazines that are not even manufactured. That act would have disarmed law enforcement in that state. All Americans must learn from history that Hitler, Stalin, Mao and other despots banned individual ownership of guns to gain and maintain control.
