==Incremental Gun-Grabbing of the Police State - Nanny State==
According to [[Oath Keepers]], [[Liberals]] and [[socialist]]s support so-called "common sense" measures - a "good first step" of the [[Police state]] - [[Nanny state]]. To a [[citizen]]-[[prepper]]-[[patriot]] [[Oath Keeper]] and to the [[Bill of Rights]], this is "[[incrementalism|death by a thousand paper cuts]]".
Stewart Rhodes supports the [[Second Amendment Foundation]] and this video, which is the formal response to [[Hollywood values|Hollywood]]'s [[Demand a Plan]] [[gun control|gun-grabbing]] [[propaganda]] video. The video shows one of the main differences between [[liberal]] [[gun control]] [[Nanny state]]s ([[Blue states]]) and [[conservative]] and/or [[libertarian]] [[Second Amendment]]-supporting "[[free state]]s" ([[Red states]]). This video shows why [[conservative]]s and [[libertarian]]s "[[vote with our feet]]": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBelF4UddcY<ref>As of December 8, 2014, there are 60,819 views on [[YouTube]] of [[Second Amendment Foundation]]'s ''Equal [[Gun Rights]]'', Online.
