I'm sorry, but any talk of gun banning is ridiculous. I don't care if a think tank speaks of it as a possibility. Any real attempt to confiscate all guns in the US would simply lead to anarchy, civil war, or a revolution.
Nobody with half a brain would attempt it in the US for at least a generation yet. You have to sufficiently brainwash a generation to completely trash the previous beliefs and ideals. Too many US citizens own guns, and won't let them be taken away without putting up a fight.
I think this stuff is simply an attempt to gauge public support/interest/disinterest after even discussing the possibility. It's good that people are saying "hell no", (IMO) but lets not actually entertain this as a real goal for the near future. It would be absurd to think the government would seriously try this anytime soon on a national level.

So it is ok if they try this 20, 50 or 100 years from now?
I think the economy is planned to collapse much sooner than that and that is why we have more and more school shootings. The ptb have made gun bannings in america a priority.
The police is starting to resemble the military with apc, mini-drones by the hundreds, hoarding ammo, etc.

Even though I am skeptical of everything on infowars, I will say that I've seen enough to think that the ultimate goal is to confiscate most, if not all, weapons.
The question that keeps popping up in my head, though, is this: Why?
That's the 64 million dollar question. Why now?

well if you know you US history the did make booze of any kind illegal, for a time 1920 -- 1933, any one that made or sold it was in for trouble, all it did was make any one who consumed it an out law, any one making it a felon.
It did not stop it and this will not stop gun selling, making, or buying only make it more expensive to do so. with some tools, and know how,you too can make an AK in your basement or garage, get a reloaded kit and powder and you too can make ammo.
where there is a demand, there will be a way of getting it.

Anyone who does not see that they are preparing for confiscation and war with the people is either a moron or a shill.

so did anyone pick up on the fact this isn't a DOJ memo, and it doesn't state the policy should be to outlaw and confiscate all guns ?
conspiracy enthusaists always fall down on credibility with these threads
any time you see something that fits your worldview, you don't question it
FAIL
Why are there yards of FEMA coffins placed in remote areas of the country
Why did FEMA propose bill HR6566 ordering preparation for mass deaths
SEC. 3. PREPAREDNESS FOR MASS FATALITIES RESULTING FROM A NATURAL DISASTER, ACT OF TERRORISM, OR OTHER MAN-MADE DISASTER.

There are no FEMA coffins anywhere, and those have been debunked many times...

I am going to say this would be why...

Its important to note that the National Institute of Justice is only a research and evaluation arm of the Department of Justice and have no responsibility to recommend actions on policy.
Their job is to be given a task and provide data on a specific area or multiple areas of interest. Nothing more.
It similar to the office of statistics, they just provide raw data when asked to. I assume that these questions they are providing data for are simply part of a larger request on multiple scenarios concerning gun control and simply taken out of context.
Basically if you are trying to decide on what programs would best reduce gun violence you would want to put everything on the table, collect all the known data for each option, and make the decision you think is best based on factual evidence.
I have no doubt they asked the NIJ to evaluate how much gun violence would continue to occur if nothing was done about it also.
Its just them collecting data.
During their brainstorming sessions do they normal put illegal suggestions on the table?
For instance if they were asked to brainstorm about reducing the number of people on government assistance would they include a suggestion to create concentration camps and execute all the people on government assistance?
A suggestion to outlaw guns is just as illegal and unconstitutional as executing people in concentration camps would be.
Suggestions are not agaisnt the law and of course you could put this on the table for research. It would give you a base idea to start from which is zero guns in society and allow you to base your prediction off of that. Its a point of reference.
