I seem to recall destroying the traditional family was one of the goals of the communists to bring America down.
You take away the traditional family, guns, and the belief in God, then you can easily turn the US into a communist state. It must just be a coincidence that the modern democrat party is actively trying all 3. Though they have backed down a little bit on the guns, although it is suspected that Fast and Furious was about taking away our guns. So it appears that the gun thing is being more quietly pursued.
