Let me count the way… Oh, this is a specific one.
The ‘elites’ and MSM are still fighting 2A because it chaps their asses that John Q. Public has the capability to defend themselves with their OWN weapons. The elites have minions to do that for them, and don’t believe WE should have any means…
h/t NRA Media
We made geniuses into celebrities (Einstein, Hawkings, Sagan).
Now we assume celebrities are geniuses.
On celebrity posted a video of him firing rifle, shotgun and hand gun at the range without missing a beat. Keanu Reeves was awesome, running the course while being timed. The video didn’t show his score or time, but I was impressed. The rest of ‘those kind of people’, for the most part, are just stuck on their ego’s and think what they have to say is important. Not to me.
The elites may have come to the realization that with something on the order of 300-400 firearms in private hands that disarming enough of them may be a “bridge too far”…but that realization won’t stop them from their dream.
Tyranny can only truly exist after citizens are denied their right of self-protection.
To them, our freedoms end where their feelings begin. They will never stop trying, so we can never stop fighting.
More (from here):
New York mayor Bill de Blasio is trying to put a positive spin on a recent rash of stabbings and slashings across the city. He credits the NYPD taking guns off of the street.
“I’m not a criminologist but I can safely say that guns are being taken off the street in an unprecedented way. Some people, unfortunately, are turning to a different weapon,” de Blasio says.
How long before we see bans on knives, box cutters, razors, etc.?
It’s not the guns, stupid. It’s the criminals.
ED- Good point, the ‘sound bite’ generation has done that!!!
LL- Exactly! And good luck with even TRYING to get them all!
WSF- Point!
Tim- Britain has already gone down that road… sigh
The Elites do not appreciate that the 2A apportions a big chunk of Civil Violence to The People, and is not exclusively the prevue of Government and its agents/agencies/minions. That’s the real beauty of the 2A – WE ARE specifically allowed to be as Violent as required.
NC- Excellent point! 🙂
The hypocrites & elitists will never accept that the 2nd Amendment applies to everyone, and I no longer care … assuming I ever did.
My brother California Dave reminded me that if Hitlery is elected to the doublewide on Pennsylvania Avenue, Herself, by executive order (or Royal decree), will make it illegal for the hoi polloi to own firearms.
I guess I’ll just have to learn to live with it. See you in the morning news!
