I'll tell you why. Generations pass on certain traits that were characteristic of their fathers (and mothers). At our founding, you would not find a Brady Buncher. Guns played that significant a part in our ancestor's lives.
The Left is betting on the watered-down gene pool effect where over time, we simply rely less on guns and they can effectively take them from us (making us all slaves, but who's counting).
It's a Eugenics trick, evolved to lessen resistance toward tyranny. If I could do one thing, it would be to awaken Americans to this swindle taking place.
Who could see it coming with that government teat in our face?
I'm trying. I've been a public school teacher in an inner city high school for 14 of my 20 years as an educator. I've been trying to do exactly that. Trouble is, the sheep LIKE being fattened up before the slaughter which the wolf kindly lets them think will never happen.....
