Love the old cartoon with that title. Whenever radical leftists think they have it half made, they show the real face of their movement; they do it every time Now they are talking about gun confiscation and repealing the 2nd Amendment. Some of them actually think they could pull it off. Why bless me for a fool! I never imagined they intended such things; I thought they just wanted to keep the kids safe.
We've seen this so many times with them and its worth noting that while radical sage Saul Alinsky bade them be deceptive about their intentions, in order to gain real power, he probably advised them not to overreach, lest they blow their cover. Like frantic children, however, they can't help themselves sometimes.
They've turned the American campus, where they really do rule, into an Orwellian mockery of academic freedom and integrity. They've turned much of the federal bureaucracy and those of several states (eg. NY, where I live and worked for the PC state government) into totalitarian machines. For example, in employment in the higher reaches of the NY executive branch its "Equal opportunity, except that if you're a white conservative male, you'd best not count on it, if you know what we mean".
Much of their vindictive and juvenile onslaught on President Trump is motivated by the volcanic frustration they have suffered from being denied what they openly and casually assumed was the sure final victory in 2016 - the enthronement of the one who would bring them to the very top of the mountain and an easy ride down to unquestioned dominance.
Now they are confident that they have convinced a decisive majority of Americans that availability of guns and not the moral Grand Canyon they have imposed since the '60's is the cause of school shootings. Assured of that as they apparently be, they "feel" (always a critical factor for them) free to openly discuss their end game.
Imagine the gun grabber policy summit meeting in New York City or Sacramento. "Well, after we get Congress back this year we'll pass the repeal. Now getting it approved by the state legislatures (as unfashionably democratic and representative as they are in those places)will be dicey. We'll have to con those atavistic rubes in flyover country into thinking this is just a symbolic measure, yeah. We'll promise never to come after their guns as long as they promise not to be naughty. That'll work; they aren't very smart after all, none of them have been to university. NRA? Aagghh, after we've run Trump out of the country they'll sweat alright. Actually, once we retire Pence in 2020 we'll be good to go; the Constitution doesn't matter to Michelle anyway. We'll just take the guns; Jonathan won't really stand up for his rights. eh wot?" "Well", says Andy Cuomo, "we flimflammed them in MY fief, I mean state, with our new gun laws; Jerry, you should do OK." " What'd ya say Andy? Actually right now I'm working on destroying the rule of immigration law and I was just beaming back from the colloquium on Enceladus (love that view of Saturn's rings) but yeah, dude, I'm sure we'll be cool."
Awright, I'm laying it on a bit thick but I think I've caught the general sense of the contempt far leftists harbor for the unrepentant real America. Those of liberal or leftist inclinations, many of them people of good will, have been regrettably misled by a radical left which would, in power, make very certain and summary use of firearms, that the ownership of guns by free and law abiding Americans kills school children. The radicals know that we gun types, as one of the pillars of the conservative movement, stand directly in the way of their intended utopian kindergarten and that is their only concern. Discredit us and they bustle!
Once I parked my truck in the driveway of a friend with whom I went on a trip in his car. Later, he said his wife remarked, with trepidation "why that guy had an NRA sticker on his truck". You know what, to hell with the people who would influence a nice person like that to think that NRA membership is notorious. Jack

Well said, Jack. In my opinion, there's zero chance that the 2nd Amendment gets repealed, but there's a decent chance that gun rights go the way of the dodo bird because they are gradually whittled away. In the short term, I suspect the left has overshot its mark, as you so correctly point out. My hope is that they've cost themselves their shot at a House majority.
Dr. Waddy: Thanx once again for your attention to my views. The election will be effective but much, I think, depends on the composition of the Supreme Court. The left has taken encouragement from that part of the Heller decision which said that some regulation of gun availability is appropriate and recognized the states' rights to enact and that of lower federal courts to construe. I hear we now face the possibility of Justice Kennedy retiring; if he does and the President appoints another Gorsuch, I think we can look forward to a Supreme Court decision saying this: "OK, we left it to you to act upon but many of you have either decided to test us, or to hope for a restoration of a "politically correct" majority on our Court. Let us reiterate and let us be clear on this; The Second Amendment confirms a right, equal to all other rights affirmed in the Bill of Rights, (we ruled on that in the MacDonald case, did you read it?) that every American enjoys a fundamental right to possess currently used weapons. Frankly, you'd better have an airtight reason for abridging that right and many of you have not met that standard. Your ultimate purpose is obvious and is obviously contrary to the intention of the 2nd Amendment." Should the Dems take the Senate this year, my guess is that Justice Kennedy will stay. He is a stickler for judicial integrity.
