Gun Confiscation Under Color of Law

Daniel John Sobieski today, writing at the American Thinker tells us that Gun Confiscation Begins in New Jersey:

President Obama and President Trump were both right, Obama when he told us elections have consequences and Trump in his 2018 stump speech that a consequence of Democrat victories would be renewed attacks on the Second Amendment. New Jersey’s ban on high-capacity magazines has been upheld by a federal court, opening the door to door knock gun confiscation and making off-duty police officers subject to criminal prosecution. The inmates are officially running the asylum.

To be fair, gun confiscation has occurred in the United States before here, here here and here. These of course are just in the recent past. Here and there it has happened throughout America's history. In the South in particular, Blacks were often kept from owning guns, or had their guns taken from them. Any way you look at it though, this is theft under color of law, and it is the hallmark of would be tyrants everywhere.

Sobieski writes:

Which part of “shall not be infringed” does the Third Circuit not understand? Assault is a behavior and not a particular weapon or an ammo clip. Ever since Cain slew Abel with a rock, it has been the desire to kill which motivates evil. Buildings are blown up with fertilizer bombs. Marathons are blasted with pressure cooker bombs, trolls in southern France turn to tragedy through the use of, dare I say it, a high-capacity rental truck. Cars careen down New York parkways mowing down joggers and pedestrians.

Las Vegas concerts and Florida schools become free-fire zones not due to high capacity magazines but from the secular culture liberals have created absent a true moral compass. Gun-free zones, bullet bans, and other “sensible restrictions” merely create more potential victims.

Yes, high capacity magazines have been used in mass shootings. But they have also been used to stop them...

We will forgive Sobieski for using "ammo clip" instead of the more correct "magazine" because he does indeed understand the real purpose of the Second Amendment. It is not to hunt, but rather to provide the American people with the means to repel invaders or tyrants with the same weapons that would be used against them. If the police while on duty, or the military is exempt from these laws, that proves they should be considered Unconstitutional.
