When law abiding citizens have no more tools with which to defend ourselves, what will we do when evil comes for us?
Here is one of many problems—and in my view the MOST DANGEROUS problem—with the liberal position of banning “assault weapons” after the Orlando shooting:
Guns are tools, and nothing more. They can be tools used for good or tools used for evil. The same can be said of any tool. A hammer is a tool designed to hit things. It can hit a nail (a good use) or a person’s head (an evil use). A box cutter is a tool. It can cut boxes apart (a good use), or cut a person (an evil use). A gun is a tool. It can shoot targets or game animals or violent criminals (a good use) or an innocent person (an evil use).
We know this. The problem is the left is blind to logic and reasoning. And they cannot tolerate diversity of opinion.
We know the GAME.
It’s being played in the media.
The LEFT owns the media.
This is an information GAME, not unlike with ISIS recruiting.
The Left is recruiting believers out there through the media, among our already fundamentally transformed population, to go after the Second Amendment.
We need to be on Twitter, FACEBOOK, Snapchat, you name it.
THAT is where we are in danger of losing the battle.
These people must be ANSWERED.
The left IS the evil. They aren't interested in logic or reasoning. All they want is total control of everything.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Solzhenitsyn taught us much about history, and it seems too many ignore his prophetic words.
Bttt.
What could please the muslim community more than a disarmed American citizenry?
The author has it exactly right—a gun is just a tool. And a damnned good one when you need it. Actually, when you need a gun, nothing else will do.
