Very similar to the liberals who screamed about the patriot act and how they were going to be watching which library books people checked out and it would lead to communism or some such bullshit. And that never materialized either.

We are on the path toward a hard left socialistic America my friends.
Think from time to time about boiling a frog. If you put a frog in a pot of hot water he will go ballistic, fighting to escape. Instead put him in a mild temperature pot of water and slowly increase the heat. You can watch him boil in a state of oblivion. He will never know how it happened but cooked he will be.
Same is true for incremental tyranny. Take all your freedoms at once and you too will join the mob of crazed fiery eyed lunatics opposing the federal government. To advert the mob,the unrest and the objection, a tyrannical government begins by taking small. Take something that doesn't cause alarm to all. They will take in the name of the "greater good". It is through an apathetic, naive public that this campaign finds it's success.
Since 1934 NFA, one piece of gun legislation after another has been enacted. The federal government has always come back for more. Enough is never enough for an over zealous hungry government. Less than one-tenth of one percent of Americans causes gun violence yet we have a leftwing tyrannical government imposing it will on most all of the citizenry. I say most all because the super-wealthy, famous or politicians have the security and protection they deem necessary for their defense.
As for the Patriot Act, I agree it is terrible legislation, pulled off with slight of hand and is an outright offense to liberty.With that said and agreed to, why would you want to defend one act of tyranny to condone another such as Obama's attempt to blot out the Second Amendment with his pen.
