Yep the government uses any and everything they can to control us. Their biggest tool is pitching polarizing demographics against each other while they install better technical forms of surveillance in the background. Its weak minded for armed pro-gun Americans to ever worry about gun repeal actually happening. Its also weak minded for unarmed anti-gun Americans to think guns are the problem. The real issue is the education, health, and business sectors of this country. Everything is about profit and their bottom line suffers when humans thrive as a species. Its fucking sickening.
