Alan Korwin, a very knowledgable gun-rights activist. Check out his website, gunlaws.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

(Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong> The following was syndicated with the permission of Alan Korwin, the author of the article. Mr. Korwin is the author of 14 books, has been invited by the U.S. Supreme Court twice to observe oral arguments and runs the website GunLaws.com<\/a>. He is also a friend of GunsAmerica.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a point between fully armed and disarmed that is subarmed. Being subarmed is dangerous. Officials would never stand for it themselves. It\u2019s the point where you don\u2019t have a very good gun, or certainly not the type you\u2019d prefer, or not the type your police prefer for their own safety, and not the right ammo, or certainly not enough of it. It isn\u2019t the caliber you want, and the magazine is too small. You\u2019re subarmed.<\/p>\n

It seems there are people at work in the government and the euphemistic gun-control movement who have figured out if they can\u2019t disarm the public — because the public will not stand for it and put up intense opposition — they can subarm the public (that\u2019s you) a little at a time. If you\u2019re subarmed, and they\u2019re fully armed, that\u2019s pretty much victory for them and a shift in control.<\/p>\n

Because it happens by bits, the big picture is obscured. Little by little the power shifts from the public to the authorities. We used to have parity with government, and this kept government in check, made America the liberty capital on Earth. We the people were equal with our hired hands. Both sides were in a state of stasis, equilibrium. They had matchlocks, we had matchlocks.<\/p>\n

They had flintlocks, we had flintlocks. They got cap and ball, we all had it. We grew up together, we were partners in this, developed the field together. Self-contained cartridges, rifled barrels, bolt action, revolvers, semi-auto, improvements to everything, optics, full auto… the story starts to rag out right there.<\/p>\n

Two Gun Laws: Tectonic Shift in American Freedom<\/h2>\n

In 1968 our employees in government decided it was time for us to fill out paperwork for any gun purchased from any manufacturer. It\u2019s been that way ever since, despite the enormous trash piles generated by \u201cnews\u201d media to the contrary. It\u2019s no big deal — maybe — but every gun made and sold legally to an American since then comes with government paperwork.<\/p>\n

Twenty-two years later, in 1986, the scales of equality tipped over. The Gun Control Act basically said members of the state could have machine guns but the peasants (that\u2019s us) could not — only one-shot guns for us. Matching firepower was no longer for the masses — it was for the hired help only. Two centuries of Gun Equality between government and the public was over. Now that\u2019s a big deal.<\/p>\n

Oh, the few full autos in public hands at the time could remain, but this was subarming on a grand scale, an order of magnitude, it made the two sides totally unequal. The miniscule number of now collectible machine guns people owned could be cherished, lost to wear-and-tear and jealously safeguarded — thanks to five-figure price tags instantly springing upon a closed finite market.<\/p>\n

Say Goodbye to Officer Friendly<\/h2>\n

The rapid decline in freedom everyone has been noticing was catalyzed. The rise of the police state became more intense. SWAT raids (multiple battle-equipped specialists with machine guns and overwhelming power) have gone from 3,000 per year in 1980 to as many as 80,000 per year now. The Andy Griffith Show was solidly in the past. Officer Friendly was on his way out.<\/p>\n

We weren\u2019t a police state then and we\u2019re not one now, we\u2019ve just started looking more like one than anyone would like — and toe the line, pal. Not to worry, our morals are still intact. Or are they.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re overwhelmed when a dynamic entry team of eight masked, body-armored men storm through your door with flash-bang grenades at two in the morning, like the state does these days. You\u2019ve been subarmed to the point of being gunless when they have MP-5 machine guns and you have the civilian single-pull-of-the-trigger AR-15 you\u2019re so proud to own. It’s the gun you insist is OK because it\u2019s the one-shot model, not the machine gun it looks like, which ignorant gun haters fear it really is. And they want to confiscate that too.<\/p>\n

The seven-round magazine New York got saddled with is a subarmament joke and the people responsible should be brought up on charges for infringement and violation of oath of office. They swore to uphold the Second Amendment, not to find workarounds. Small magazines endanger the innocent when peril lurks. Ask police if they would stand for that.<\/p>\n

Of Course Ammunition Is Dangerous<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, BATFE bureaucrats are deciding some ammunition is more dangerous than other types, so it should be banned. How utterly preposterous! What needs to be banned is the BATFE. Ammunition cannot be banned based on the fact that it is dangerous! And a government agency cannot exercise power that Congress has no legitimate delegated authority to give it.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows that ammunition is dangerous — because that\u2019s its purpose! Not just dangerous, deadly dangerous. It is supposed to be. If it\u2019s not dangerous, it\u2019s flawed. What BATFE is really seeking is to have some ammo removed because it might be used against them, making them bulletproof — but they won\u2019t ban it for themselves, and it could be used against you. Judging ammo — which is beyond the delegated power an agency can have because it infringes on our rights — is like judging which words are too dangerous to say. BATFE doesn\u2019t want you to think about the logical angle:<\/p>\n

Using any type of ammunition at all in any unjustifiably dangerous way is already grossly illegal many times over at every level and can carry the death penalty. Murder is illegal. Attempted murder is illegal. Planning a murder is illegal.<\/p>\n

Using any kind of gun and any kind of ammo for any of that is criminal at the state and federal level with no wiggle room. That\u2019s enough for this rogue agency or any other. Banning ammo is an infringement ploy.<\/p>\n

If authorities can justify subarming the public based on ammo type, the Second Amendment will have been eviscerated, and this is intolerable. All subarmament efforts should be spotted, called out for what they are, and summarily halted. There are no excuses, no saturation \u201cnews\u201d stories about crazed maniacs that justify taking action against the public. The responsible parties should be reprimanded, discharged from or voted out of office and publicly ostracized for acting against the interests of the United States. The jig is up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
