I watched them on the news. I saw rich politicians with security details tell me to give up my money and my guns. Some politicians promoted gun control after they accepted campaign donations from rich billionaires. These people are saying one thing while they do another. These politicians, and the people who donate millions of dollars to fund gun-control, have no need to go armed. They hire people to protect them.

Can the Federal Government Ban Anything? :: 12/03/2019

Even though it is true that the government currently bans all kinds of things, I am asking a serious question. Let me expand and clarify it.
