Incremental Gun-Grabbing of the Liberal Nanny State - Progressive Police State

According to Stewart Rhodes, progressive police statists want to unconstitutionally ban all firearms for citizen use.

Liberals and socialists support their so-called "common sense" measures - a "good first step" of their leftist Nanny state leading to a progressive police state. To a conservative citizen-prepper-patriot Oath Keeper and to the Bill of Rights, this is "death by a thousand paper cuts". (See List of celebrities against Second Amendment)

Stewart Rhodes and most American conservatives support the ideals of the Second Amendment Foundation and this video, which is the formal response to Hollywood's Demand a Plan gun-grabbing propaganda video (see Essay:The Politically Corrected Firearms and Second Amendment Glossary). The video shows one of the main differences between liberal gun control Nanny states / progressive police states (Blue states - see Essay:State Firearms Laws Ranking) and conservative and/or libertarian unalienable rights - Second Amendment-supporting "free states" (many Red states - see Essay:Why do conservatives own firearms?).

This Equal Gun Rights Video shows why many conservatives and libertarians "vote with our feet" via strategic relocation to escape "progressive death spiral" states: [2]

CSPOA is a national organization of Sheriffs, police officers, and elected officials, as well as private citizens, whose mission is to equip sheriffs, peace officers and public officials with the necessary information and public support to carry out their duties in accordance with their Oaths of Office. The morning press conference was conducted in conjunction with a presentation of the CSPOA Resolution to all five hundred thirty-five members of Congress. The Resolution concerns the dangerous overreach of rogue individuals within the Federal Government in the lives of Americans, which is increasingly outside the limits of their authority under our Constitution. This event, which was by invitation only, is one of a series of gatherings under the banner of “Lighting the Lamp of Liberty”. Speakers that morning included Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX); Larry Pratt, President of Gun Owners of America; several constitutional attorneys and scholars; as well as Sheriff David A. Clark Jr., of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Clarke who has received national acclaim for supporting the citizens’ right to keep and bear arms, was the CSPOA Sheriff of the Year in 2013. He recently won reelection in spite of a well-funded campaign against him by anti-gun liberal activist Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City. Topics covered include illegal immigration, the crucial role of the county sheriff, property rights, constitutional checks and balances, and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-WMHV9A80g Accessed December 26, 2014
