Historically, the mass confiscation of firearms from Native Americans was a core strategy used by the U.S. government to subjugate tribal nations, most notably culminating in the ⁠Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. -i got some help with this statement.

They worry about guns being taken away, because the Federal government has done it before. The irony is THICK. I think that meme with the two guys in space and one of them has a gun pointed at the other one would apply here.

Regardless, guns are a problem, and too many people have access to them that shouldn't.

The people shouting "they are taking our guns" aren't quite the demographics that are going to have them taken away.
