And They Had Machine Guns

“First they came for the machine guns, and I did not speak out—because they said gangsters killed FBI men with machine guns.

Then they came for the short-barreled shotguns, and I did not speak out—because they said bootleggers killed IRS agents with short-barreled shotguns.

Then they came for the imported guns with “no sporting purpose”, and I did not speak out—because they said Oswald killed JFK with one of those.

Then they came for the silencers, and I did not speak out—because they said only criminals used silencers.

Then they came for the assault-style weapons, and I did not speak out—because they said only potential school shooters wanted assault-style weapons.

Then they came for the high-capacity magazines, and I did not speak out—because they said only mass murderers had any need for a high-capacity magazine.

Then they came for the 3D-printed guns, and I did not speak out—because they said only right-wing nutjobs would 3D-print a gun.

Then they came for the ammunition, and I did not speak out—because they said only paranoid preppers would want more than a box or two of ammo.

Then they came for me—and they had machine guns.
