Newt Gingrich Stabs Gun Owners in the Back
Katherine Mangu-Ward | December 5, 2011
In my inbox today, a message from Georgia Gun Owners who are grumpy about GOP darling of the day Newt Gingrich's record on gun control. They note his support for restrictions on the gun rights of people involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges and the fact that he played nice with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on gun-free school zone legislation. "But the biggest knife that Newt plunged into the back of all Americans and gun owners who wish to defend themselves and their families, was his coming out in support of a national thumbprint database for gun owners," said [D.R. Leonard, Political Director of Georgia Gun Owners]. Hey, at least his choice of weapons is ideologically consistent!
But remember only Mitty flip flops and Newt finds the errors of his ways and changes his views based on facts and thats good thing..
Those who presume to tell you that you have no right to defend yourself, your family or your property are not merely holding the the United States Constitution, The Bill of Rights and in particular, the Second Amendment in contempt - what they are really saying is that you have no right to your own life. To them, you are a thing, an animal, or a machine. Nothing more.
They are declaring their supremacy over you by holding the value your life as little more - and often less - than a wheelbarrow full of bricks.
THAT's who we're dealing with. And as history has shown us, the ultimate destination of that outlook is something far worse than slavery.
Gingrich, for all of his talk, is no friend of human freedom.
