Following the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, America's gun control debate is undergoing a metamorphosis.
The case for the Second Amendment has classically been one of protection from a tyrannical government; the Founders knew well the need for such an insurance policy. As the American government became more militarily powerful, however, the arguments shifted to fit the technology. After all, the critics cried, is your rifle going to defend your beloved citizenry from fighter planes and guided missiles?.....It wasn't so long ago that headlines were filled with a federal operation known as "Fast and Furious," in which the very same administration that proselytizes regulating a particular class of rifle was caught red-handed supplying Mexican gangsters with those very weapons. Got that, America? You can't have them, but homicidal narco traffickers can, on your dime.

The regime favors thugs and criminals, hates us responsible people.
Not only that, government at all levels has shown that it can’t, or won’t, protect citizens, so we have to do it ourselves.
Some of us have long memories.
Hussein knows, as does everyone else, gun control means disarming whites.
...as you know, the courts have ruled that the police have NO RESPONSIBILITY to protect individual citizens.
The real reason?
We don’t trust the government.
If you like your life, you can protect your life. Just like the doctor promise.
Sheriffs and police chiefs such as the Detroit police chief are increasingly advising citizens to arm themselves. Why would that possibly be happening?
The reason to oppose gun control is historical.
Liberals in power, kill. That’s all there is to it. No more, no less. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. Pol Pot. Every South American Dictator. Need I go on?
I thought not.
They want us disarmed because we won’t go into the gas chambers if we are armed.
When I started out in law enforcement, I was always told that there was some kind of statue, IE Failure to Act, for cops.
And of course this sheriff from Pinellas County, Florida...on a side note, why he’s still there is beyond me
They could care less, at any level(save for the few constitutional sheriffs around like Clarke and Arpaio). They just love the power they get from the people.
The American people have voted with their wallets over the last eight years and the results are in. Gun control lost. By a lot.
“They want us disarmed because we won’t go into the gas chambers if we are armed.”
“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it.”
- Alexander Hope
Keep pushing gun control, and there won’t be any Communist (Dems) in office in another 25 years. It’s worked so good in the past!
Last paragraph of the article: “After all, at the end of the day gun control is a matter of trust: Americans must trust that their government can protect them in an age of anything goes terrorism, and that trust must be earned. Instead, it has been repeatedly violated.”
No amount of trust could, should ever be bestowed upon anything, or anyone other than oneself. There is no “they”. There is no “them” as pointing the finger never yet has brought a loved one back to life.
You are all there is. Never let the government take your duties from you. The cost is too high.
Because of the Rising Tide of Racism in Amerikkka?
Tell that to Terry Shiavo. Tortured for days by Hillary's Justice Department to preserve abortion. Died of thirst in her doctor's bed by a Clinton/Oboma/Clinton judge.
Many have seen this coming and have no need to buy anything now with the paper trail. I can’t remember if I ever bought a gun. The problems getting older than I once was!
That's one to remember.
