Lefties all the time are telling me, “hey, nobody’s trying to take your guns away...we just want a few reasonable gun laws”. Of course, I can never get a satisfactory definition of “reasonable” from them.
They hate guns, and they hate those of us who own them. They don’t believe that we have the slightest right to own even the crappiest gun. They hate hunting and the shooting sports. They deny that there is a right to self-defense. There is one thing, and one thing only, stopping them from banning private ownership of guns: the political cost. If they thought that they could pull off a gun ban without paying too high a price, they would do it instantly.
“They hate guns, and they hate those of us who own them”
That’s all anyone needs to know about the Left. However,
“There will be a rifle behind every blade of grass”
(A quote from one of America’s most formidable enemies)
A gun is one of the tools by which an individual remains independent of the collective -
this is the main reason they hate them.
If you ask the most vehement “gun hater”, they’ll say it’s OK for the police and the military to own them, but not the individual, proving my point.
