"It is a slippery slope folks. Once we lose the Second Amendment protection, others will soon follow. We must protect the Second at all costs."
Hi folks. Bitt R. Clinger here. Earlier this year, my good friend the Very Angry Bird (VAB I call him), announced that he would let me "take the podium" (so to speak) to voice my opinions on American history issues or gun rights. Seems after all this hub-bub on this most recent school shooting down in Florida, as well as the constant demonetization of the NRA, the VAB asked me to weigh in. So here it goes.
As some might know, I am a life member of the NRA. Have been for years. I also hunt, fish, shoot traps and target practice. However, the fact I like the recreational use of my firearms, has NOTHING to do with why I joined the NRA. I joined because the NRA is two things to me. First, it is the stalwart protector of our Second Amendment rights. I dare way without the NRA, our Second Amendment would have gone the way of the Dodo bird decades ago.
Secondly, did you know the NRA is one of the first civil rights organizations? They worked in teaching black folks how to use firearms to protect themselves from the abuses of the KKK. What? You mean to tell me the NRA is not a redneck organization like the Left leads us to believe? Yes, I am saying that. It is fact.
History has shown that time and time again, when a government turns tyrannical (it happens much too frequently), and disarms its citizenry, bad things happen. Our Second Amendment is our "checks and balances" against that ever happening in America. Myself, I am fully supportive of Constitutional Carry. No infringement what so ever. But the "bed wetters" would pitch a fit should we ever get to that stage. Do you want to see the Left really have a hissy fit? Lets talk about the repeal of the National Firearms Act of 1934. That should do it!
Anyhow, as most of us know, mass shootings have NOTHING to do with the firearms. NOTHING! Firearms have been around since the beginning, and it is only recently that a small percentage of the public have been using firearms for nefarious purposes. We need to focus on that issue. What has happened to our society which causes these tragedies. While we are doing that, we need to leave the law abiding, gun owning patriots alone!
Here is what I recommend. For those who support the NRA, and are members, thank you. Keep it up. For those who are not, please consider joining. Even if you don't hunt. Even if you don't own a firearm. Please join. It is only $30 a year, and every dollar helps keep the gun grabbers at bay.
It is a slippery slope folks. Once we lose the Second Amendment protection, others will soon follow. We must protect the Second at all costs! We owe it to the Founders. We owe it to ourselves, Most importantly, we owe it to generations yet to come.
From around the world...........
ReplyDeleteHow important is gun regulation to the relatively low number of firearm deaths in the UK?
Gun regulation had everything to do with it.
We have white men, violent video games, and mentally ill people, too.
We have poverty, gangs, and immigration.
We have racist police, we have criminals, we have drugs.
We don't have any guns.
And the rate of gun violence is tiny by comparison.
How important is gun regulation to the relatively low number of firearm deaths in Japan?
Regulation is a very big factor.
Gun regulation has been very strict since World War II.
Because guns are not a fear, we don't need guns to protect ourselves.
How important is gun regulation to the relatively low number of firearm deaths in Sweden?
Regulation might have had a role in this, since it obviously makes guns harder to come by.
But I think another part is that there really isn't as much of a gun culture in Sweden.
There are of course gun enthusiasts, but it's rare, and you might be considered a bit weird here if you were to talk about guns all the time.
*You* "don't have any guns," but some criminals in the UK do--& now the government reportedly wants to ban pointed knives.
ReplyDeleteJapan is an especially homogeneous, monocultural & conformist country which tends not to accept immigrants. Still, the Yakuza are said to have guns.
Sweden used to be merely full of Swedes. Lately they've been accepting great numbers of non-Europeans who mostly appear uninterested in assimilating. Their elites seem to enjoy the prospect of future Muslim domination, though that makes no sense to us. Of course there's no "gun culture!"
Most of us don't normally talk guns all the time; our mainstream media does.
VAB notes: "History has shown that time and time again, when a government turns tyrannical (it happens much too frequently), and disarms its citizenry, bad things happen." This century has brought the prospects of such developments closer than ever. If freedom dies in the US, shall we rely on the UK, Japan or Sweden to save us?
Great response, thank you!
DeleteOur govt. is near tyranny with the Great Divider in charge, but I don't think removal of military weapons from civilians is on the agenda, just the opposite.
ps VAB thinks we are out to take his weapons, the NORKS are going to invade and AI is going to subjugate us all OR he posts these paranoia's just to fuel the rhetorical flames, I haven't figured out which just yet.
The moral perversity that allows one to think universal healthcare is tyranny, but dead school children are the price of freedom, is what is corroding the soul of the United States.
