I can't recall exactly when this was last discussed here at Metabunk and I admit I have not searcheed for it(Don''t really have the time b/c I work full time ) but I'm certain at some point in the last year or 2 the debunking community confidently set the record straight and sai there is no attempt by government to confiscate anyones guns, at least not at some mass level. Granted they are always going after someones guns for something such as the ATf does but theres no large scale effort to confiscate guns, Right?
While it might not be verification that the government is trying to confiscate guns it does say a lot when the secretary of state John Kerry signs the international gun treaty despite statements from more then one senator that he should not attempt to sign the treaty without approval from congress. Well he signed the treaty and if you don't believe it then you can see coverage of it below at Foox news.

Now I know the first thing that will be put forth is that this treaty is not a gun ban or confiscation but merely more gun regulation solely to stop the bad guys. The problem there is that seldom does the government do what it says it will do. The income tax was sold orginally as being for the rich and we see whats happen to that. This international gun treaty will result in gun confiscation if Congress does not step in.
In addition to Kerrys traitor I mean treaty signing, we also have Maryland trying to confiscate peopls guns. You can see more at the below.
Lastly, there is the medias effort to assist the government with pushing gun control. Wheres the proof of this? Just look at what has been in the headlines of the mainstream news media outlets recently, since the naval shooting. First the media reports an AR15 was used whcih was wrong. Yes someone early on reported seeing an AR15 but the media should know better then to take the word of a single witness an run with it. Its clear there was an effort to drive the idea that an AR15 assault weapon was used.
Seperate from the AR15 we can see that the media in general is pushing the idea that gun violence is near the top if not the top issue in this country. If you watched just the major networks you'd get the impression that people were dying from gun violence is large quantities everywhere and every day and thats not whats hapening. FBI stats for the last few years have shown that as legal gun ownership gies up crime typically goes down. Chicago and DC are gun free havens and yet they are far from safe. Yet if you look at areas were private gun oownership is high the crime rate is lower then in the gun free havens and thats at a per capita level.
