The U.S. administration, for quite some time has been
trying to rein in and control the purchase and use of guns in the country. It
was also being anticipated that government authorities would embark on a
nationwide mission of confiscating firearms. But Natural News reports that
the initiatives to control guns have yielded just the opposite results.
It was thought that the
gun control measures would decrease the number of guns in the hands of civilians
significantly. But to the contrary; sale of firearms across the U.S. has touched a record high level in the country’s
history. The membership of the NRA
has also gone up by 300,000 in the last few months.
The advocates of gun
control are now gradually changing their position in the face of huge adverse
public opinion. President Obama, who himself has been one of the most vehement
advocates of gun control, has allowed himself to be photographed while shooting
a shotgun in order to propagate the concept that he is actually pro-gun. Piers
Morgan of CNN who has always spoken for gun control and gun confiscation has
changed his position and is now saying that he has never been against the
Second Amendment.
It is reported that the
anti-gun propagandists have understood that they would have to face fierce
resistance if they try to enforce the gun control law on U.S. citizens. Even many sheriffs across the U.S. have opined that they would not allow federal
authorities to enforce the gun control law in their jurisdiction.
But still, there is
concern regarding the government’s actions in enforcing gun restrictions. Natural
News reports that top government officials may resort to unfair means
to draw the public opinion in their favor. They may plan a massacre like that
one in Sandy
Hook Elementary School in places like airports and stadiums. The FBI is
well known for masterminding such domestic terror plots. So, U.S. citizens have to be more careful in the future.
