Why Are They Trying So Hard To Demonize Gun Owners?
Right Side News ^ | October 1, 2013

Posted on 10/01/2013 8:47:13 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

There is an all-out effort to demonize gun owners in the United States today. Those that own guns are repeatedly portrayed as being uneducated, mentally deficient racists in the mainstream media. No evidence is ever produced to actually back up those claims. Gun owners regularly make lists of “potential terrorists” in official government documents, and many government officials openly regard them as ultra-paranoid “conspiracy nuts” that are a serious threat to national security.

Of course the truth is that gun owners are actually among the most law-abiding and patriotic people in the entire nation, but that doesn’t really fit with the radical gun control agenda of the progressive elite. In order to move their agenda forward, they must make gun owners look bad, and they will go to ridiculous extremes in order to achieve that goal. And to a certain extent, it is working. As you will see below, some large financial companies no longer want to conduct business with gun owners, and just the sight of a gun is enough to get people freaking out and calling the police in many communities in America today.

Never underestimate the power of propaganda. Just think about it – pretty much the only time that advocates for gun owner organizations are invited to appear on the mainstream media is when the big news organizations think that they can make them look bad. Other than a few token appearances by pro-gun advocates, most of the time it is a relentless flood of anti-gun messages on the mainstream news.

And often the anti-gun messages that Americans are being fed are absolutely absurd. In fact, they would be absolutely hilarious if so many people were not taking them so seriously....

Gun ownership is the pinnacle of what constitutes a free person, compared to the model peon in a statist system.

Thus, the Left despises them.

Eric Holder called for a massive brainwashing effort to eliminate guns. You see this in the schools and in the news and on TV all the time.

It’s pretty simple.

They have an agenda they want to implement and honest, law abiding and peaceful citizens owning guns is contrary to, and conflicts with that agenda.

Because it is so, so much easier to put you in chains, both figuratively and physically, if you don’t have something that can kill them.

Without the 2nd amendment all other amendments are meaningless.

They cannot fulfill their end plan as long as the citizenry is able to resist.

The best way to fight against the propaganda is for gun owners to go out on a one to one basis and find individuals who are not gun owners and train them on gun safety and take them shooting.

Even simpler than that, this is class warfare by progressives against those “who just aren’t our kind of people”.

You know, bitter clingers. Or those whose house & kids are off limits to your kids “because they own guns”.

In other words, a bunch of condescending arrogant snobs who unfortunately form today’s ruling elite in America.

It is simple.

The people who have no shame, who believe any means are justified by their ends of enslaving the American people in their Communist system, want gun owners to be ashamed of owning a firearm.

NOT HAPPENING!

Because only 3-4 people (tops) who follow Islam are extremists, but every single gun owner in the United States is like James Holmes. What’s so hard to understand???? /S

I suspect that legal gun owners are much more affluent and intelligent than illegal gun-owners. Affluent folks have more to lose, from theft by others and from committing illegal acts.

The Libyan armed militia in the provinces overthrew the Kaddhafi dictatorship with rifles. That scared the hell out of the eiltists.

The militias executed the dictator on the hood of an SUV, using Kaddhafi’s gold-plated glock. That really scared the hell out of the elitists.

Then the militias hanged Libyan elitists from lampposts all over the country. That really, really scared elitists, and even had Hillary screaming.

The elitist fascist pigs saw their possible future in Libya, and that’s why they want gun control.

Because we won’t demonize ourselves - and that pisses them off.

Good question. There is already no way to buy ammo.

You can’t enslave or kill off the citizenry if they have guns.

"Why Are They Trying So Hard To Demonize Gun Owners?"

Ask that of the Jewish survivors of Hitlers Death Camps. No wannabe dictator want their victims to be able to put up a fight, just submit or die...

Private gun ownership inhibits the pace at which the fascists gain control.

Because that is what hollywood movie and tv shows say we are like.

Old answer.

Current answer:
Step 1. Pick the caliber you desire.
Step 2. Google “[caliber] price”
Step 3. Select a seller.
Step 4. Buy.

Next question, please.
