The vaporous fantasy is easily equal to prohibition and the FAILED war on drugs that is hemorrhaging money and destroying people/property + filling prisons in record numbers.

I strongly suggest you read

Trusting government with your personal self defense is simple suicide or slavery.

Here is a quote from
The tree of liberty
The tree of liberty... (Quotation) « Thomas Jefferson

If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.

****************************
IMO: If the government ever takes our right to bear arms, the right of free speech, and all other rights shall fall.

Educate yourself.
Defend your rights, or you will one day wake to the fact of slavery.

Lincoln’s House Divided Speech, 1858
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.
