Wow, if something like this happens in America it will be the beginning of the end of our Constitutional rights (which have been so grievously trampled already). Couple the criminalization of gun ownership with the criminalization of certain speech and we have entered the Fascist/Socialist zone which existed in 1930s Germany. Just like the Nazis used gun control to disarm the innocent victims of the Shoah, so too the American government is attempting to disarm it's citizens so that we have no alternative besides bowing to the whims of the dictator (otherwise known as the President). If we do not bow to the Haman/Obama we will be threatened with annihilation. And we will be unable to resist, and even unable to speak out, because speech will no longer be free... Only the 'approved media' will be allowed to disseminate any information (much like in Iran today).
