I have just taken the time to view the No More Silence video agitprop that is coming from Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. It’s a perfect illustration if you ask me. Legs walking toward an un protected school with a sinister duffel bag swinging. Beautiful children and pensive adults re-living the 24/7 onslaught of “news” that was the coverage of that horrible attack on Sandy Hook. Everyone totally defenseless. Legs climb stairs, bag is discarded, door swings shut, time is up . . .
Unfortunately, as long as the insanity of the gun free zone persists, history will repeat itself. We will witness another spree shooter waltz into another place that prohibits self defense, and people are going to killed.
What should we think about elected officials who preach that being defenseless is the best way to combat these atrocities? How long will we, the gun carriers, allow ourselves to be considered the root of the subset of violent crime they call ‘Gun Violence”?
Allow me to make a few propositions of my own. First and foremost, since most gun owners acquire them voluntarily and of their own free will, you have to understand the subtext of the gun grabbing thought process. Progressives wish to and intend to rule your lives. Every aspect. Every nuance.
Your safety only matters to them, possibly, because you generate revenue which they can tax. Beyond that, individually, we would be subjects hold no real value. Self reliance and free thinking are processes that are contrary to their rule. They tell you the Bill of Rights is NOT absolute and you are expected to accept that.
For all of those reason’s we have to consider ourselves to be engaged in idealogical combat. And all of us are going to have to engage.
So they demand No More Silence? Very well.
Lawmakers, you are not going to gradually legislate away the teeth of the Constitution. And you are beginning to get that, aren’t you? Those televised faux pas that were the coverage nuggets during the DC Naval Yard shooting, sort of unmasked your voracious appetite for disarming ‘The Little People.” Trends are against you. Public opinion is against you. Your favorite 90% and 40% talking points have been savaged with facts. Your are losing the youth, black America, women, some low info voters. What on earth are you to do?
Oh yeah. Let’s recreate that one incident that made you believe the wind was at your backs. Lets tap dance in the blood of innocents. Recycle Piers Morgan, Ed Schulz and the other talking heads that only have manufactured talking points and ad hominem attacks. Vilify one third of the population that simply bother no one, just because they own one or many guns and get into the fun loop of what we need and don’t need.
Liberals know that all of their failed policies are at the root of roughly half of the “gun violence.” Black America has been conned and this realization is slowly creeping into their mindset. Liberals set swaths of America aside and call them “gun free zones” and then walk away, leaving them both unprotected and marked as an area where the law abiding will be disarmed.
Guess what, gun grabbers and politicians. These atrocities are yours. You facilitated them, enabled them, advertised them and lied about it afterward. America knows now, thankfully, that laws are words on paper and gun free zones are perimeter signs. Sandy Hook, Columbine, Aurora, the DC Naval Yard – these are all yours. You own them.
We are aware now and awake. And prepared. Logistically, you are beaten, gun grabbers. Be prepared because we have more capability. We are coming for you at the ballot box, unless you take that away, too.
But, I agree with you on one point. No more silence.
