The neo-socialists in government don't trust you to manage your retirment, your health care, your voting franchise, your diet, your life, and they don't trust you with a gun. You might shoot your eye out or something.
They probably would trust their fellow ruling class elites with guns though, so if you happen to run with that crowd, chances are good that you might get to keep a few -kind of like those elite politicos in the former Soviet Union, who had "daschas" in the countryside and engaged in sport hunting. Or Fidel Castro, as another example.
But the so-called "common people"? Fugitaboutit.
This is why you must remain ever diligent to preserve liberty, and chose to preserve it when faced with the choice of a politician promising to nanny you from the cradle to the grave or another who won't guarantee your happiness, only the opportunity to pursue it.
There most certainly ARE progressive politicians in our government RIGHT NOW who do not trust you with your second ammendment rights. They have names like Pelosi, Reed, Mc Cain, Schumer, and on and on. They are all similar in their universal belief that you as an individual are incapable of making it in life without government aid, and even more similar in their callus disdain for the constitution, and thus they are fairly easy to identify -assuming you're really interested in looking for them.
