Americans wondered whether government could be trusted with their rights, privileges and immunities.
And now we know, it can’t be.
Guns guarantee my freedom from assholes like Douglas Rooks.
Being armed helps keep the Government from killing everyone in an American mass genocide.
Ah yes. The old tyranny by non-sequitur trick.
Buy a history book scumbag. Dumb bass turd.
"Back then" we still had values in this country.
I recall reading the Bible daily in class in the 4th grade.
Life was respected...that changed in January 1973.
Homosexuality was, and still is, abnormal behavior.
The police were still respected as was the rule of law.
Children were disciplined in schools.
*****
Now, what has changed since "back then"?
All of the above have been reversed.
It's a pretty simple answer.
Clearly, this question has been answered, and modern-day Americans wonder no more. That's why we need guns.
The one thing I’d love to get an explanation on is how exactly restricting the gun rights of law-abiding citizens will have an impact on gun crime? Criminals are called criminal for a reason - they do not abide by the laws of the land. Consequently, banning guns simply implies restricting the rights of often responsible, law-abiding, citizens.
Additionally, the main focus by the Left is on, so called, ‘assault’ weapons. We all know this is simply because that’s what they think they can get away with, and that if they have their way they will eventually push for the restriction of all firearms. For example, handguns are used to commit most gun crime (including so called ‘mass shootings’, which nowadays can mean anything). Thus, should they successfully ban ‘assault’ rifles, their next target is handguns.
Guaranteed! Just look at what the Canadians are doing.
This is why there should be absolutely no ground given to the Left. Not even one single inch! Reason being that their so called ‘reasonable restrictions’ are not reasonable. The only thing that will satisfy the Left is pure abolishment of gun rights, and this is why everyone has to fight for their rights and not even give them ONE concession.
They are not ‘negotiating’ in good faith, and so they can pound sand.
More preaching from kooks .... I mean Rooks ... who sounds like a kook. Folks like this must live in an environment that is so safe they never worry about personal safety.
Currently, guns have evolved into independent entities, able to function and move
about freely on their own.
Leaving death and destruction in their wake, uncaring at the mayhem left behind.
Clearly, gun autonomy should be heavily restricted.
Yah, DR seems to be a total idiot.
Hey, idiot, why did the law on AR’s end? Uhh, because it was proven to have no beneficial effect. Tried it for ten years and let it die.
The real answer? No more gun-free-zone idiocy and fire cowardly coppers like those in Uvalde.
TDS.net?
The author needs to take his head out of the sand, look around and see the problem: our culture is more debased than ever, and life has never been less valued in this country’s history. The real issue is the across-the-board dissolution of the traditional nuclear family.
Hey Rooks, get a time machine and ask the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto about that. Or maybe read a real (aka not WOKE) history book, you ignorant POS.
“which banned mail-order rifle sales such as the one Lee Harvey Oswald obtained to murder President John F. Kennedy
Yeah, that’s what happened. Go back to sleep.
I'm aroused myself.
The astounding thing is that this Doug Rooks idiot so completely believes that government CAN be trusted, despite massive evidence to the contrary, that he takes it for granted that everyone agrees with him.
I’ll agree that guns do not equal freedom, which is a simplistic formulation. Freedom requires the desire to be free (Rooks wouldn’t understand that), the will, and the ability to maintain it. Firearms are one tool in the box.
And gee, think of the many thousands, if not millions, of mail order rifles that were not involved in criminal or tragic (accidents or suicides) tragic misuse, let alone what happened to JFK.
