With an April 9 declassification order, United States Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unveiled a previously secret document, the Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.
Of particular interest as a civil rights issue, a closing action item on the last page of the document reads:
Action 4.1.1a: Rein in the proliferation of “ghost guns”; encourage state adoption of extreme risk protection orders; and drive other legislative and executive action, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines (Lead: DPC).
Readers will note that the final clause of this statement would represent — if it were ever acted upon — the Federal government driving actions to restrict and reduce Americans’ civil rights. Americans donate money to civil rights groups such as the Second Amendment Foundation to protect those rights, and here we have the Federal government using the tax dollars of those same Americans to lobby against those protections.
Some third parties will find this Federal activity — if it was ever carried out — to be objectionable, and worthy of being made a campaign issue.
It’s no surprise that this was written if one considers that the government considers its subjects, the people, to be threats.
Of course, once you understand that everything government does is for its own benefit and only benefits the serfs as a side effect (Hence the name “serf-us”), then everything they do makes perfect sense.
