Most of you don't know what Incrementalism is, but if you can connect the dots with Politics, you can understand it clearly.
Politics' strongsuit is the ability to sway indvidual thoughts leading to votes. And Politicians know that in order to get their agendas done, they have to do it in increments..
Take the current Gun Laws on the books you can see the incremental move to ban ALL Guns, not just assault rifles and semi-autos, but ALL Guns, ultimately putting the power to own Guns squarely in the lap of Government.
Now, if you know anything about history, you know that populations that totally disarmed themselves OR allowed the Government to incrementally disarm them, ALL perished violently. And to this day, there is NOT ONE country on the planet where as the Government is in control of ALL the Guns and it's a reason for that. If so post the link.
Incrementalism on Gun Control since 1934:
* National Firearms Act (1934)
* Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (1968)
* Gun Control Act of 1968 (1968)
* Firearm Owners Protection Act (1986)
* Gun-Free School Zones Act (1990) (ruled unconstitutional as originally written; has been upheld repeatedly after minor edits were made by Congress)
* Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993)
* Federal Assault Weapons Ban (19942004) (expired)
