The elites learned a long time ago that the best way to make change was to control the educational system. Hence our Government run “Dewey” camps.

It’s common for lawmakers to go after guns when there’s a “crisis.” The governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands ordered the National Guard to seize guns before Hurricane Irma hit, and the mayor of New Orleans did something similar before Katrina. More broadly, lawmakers often go after guns in smaller crises, such as domestic violence situations or when there are concerns that a potentially dangerous person might misuse a gun.

That’s why it was troubling when, at the 2017 American Bar Association annual meeting, the ABA House of Delegates formally adopted resolution 118B, which urges state governments to put in place “GVRO”s (Gun Violence Restraining Orders). GVROs enable law enforcement to search for and seize a person’s lawfully possessed arms on the theory that they may pose a danger to themselves or others. Read more here.
