Sheep vs. Asleep

Forget the conspiracy theories, they really don't matter one way or another.

Fact: The elites are going to do what they want to do and it isn't good for the rest of us.
Fact: The government wants to control the people.

Let's start with the control thing.
It isn't a secret that the government is giving their all to disarm the American people. The question is why? That is where the conspiracy theories come into play. It doesn't matter if you believe in them or not. The government needs to disarm the people because the people still have the power. (The fact they all too often choose not to use their power is a different story.) The people have the power because they are armed. That simple fact scares the elites. Now, if the government was on the up and up, why would they care if the people have the power? Why would they care if the people are armed? The answer is simple: They wouldn't! So that is why the conspiracies don't matter. I don't really need the details, the government has their own agenda (with or without the U.N.) and their agenda is not good for the people, that is why the need our guns. I have researched gun control and the right to bear arms and crime for years.

Fact: Gun control increases crime.
If you don't believe me, check out the F.B.I. website on crime statistics, or the Department of Justice crime statistics.

Based on those facts, there is only one logical conclusion. The government doesn't care about crime rates, they are not imposing gun bans, gun registration, fingerprinting, gun free zones, etc. because of crimes, they need these things because they need control. We all know gun control isn't about guns, it is about control. This isn't even a far fetched idea, the Founding Fathers of the United States knew this! THAT is why we have the Second Amendment. It isn't for hunting, it isn't even for self defense, those are fringe benefits. The Second Amendment is there to ensure the people have control over the government. Period.

As conditions continue to deteriorate, I do believe more people will wake up. However, I can see the other side of things, the side the government uses to their advantage. Remember, these people are professionals. Let's be honest, the average citizen has very little understanding of the economy. Generally speaking, the younger, the dumber. People who have never worked in business or finance also tend to lack understanding. So here's the situation, the economy is in shambles, and unemployment is high and getting worse. If the government "helps" people who are struggling with hand-outs, those people are grateful. They are now able to put food on the table for their families. They don't have a clear understanding of the economy or the long term cost of these things, their only worry is providing for their families. This is the people that are "on the fence" or people that are just having a hard time. I'm not talking about the millions that abuse the system. I am talking about average, overall good Americans. These people want to work, the jobs just aren't there. There are too many people who know the economy is bad but they don't have the knowledge to understand WHY. THESE are the people we need to reach out to. These are the people who will open their eyes if we can educate them. These are the people that will help us get our country back. These are freedom loving Americans like us, they are just misguided, they don't know any better, so let's show them the light!  Not all the people are sheep, some are just asleep.

Also, I want to clarify that there is a difference between the average state politician and the elite of the elite on the federal level. Not every person in congress or in the White House is part of the elite. That is why they never get 100% of the vote for things that are bad for the people. We need to identify the ranks of ALL of them on both sides of the fence...
