The Real Reason The left Wants To Take Our Guns (Vanity)

Pray for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, and ask the good Lord to be with her and her family. But do not think for a minute that the left is not ready to use this as a means to resurrect Obama as they did Clinton after the Oklahoma bombing.

The left is ready and willing, regardless of who controls the House, to use the recent shooting of the Congresswoman as a means to scare America into stiffening up the gun laws. Remember that the following is the real reason they want us to be unarmed.

The World's Largest Army. America's Hunters.

The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That's great.

There were over 600,000 hunters. Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth

largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than France and Germany combined - deployed

to the woods of a single American state to help keep the deer menace at bay. But that pales in comparison

to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week. Michigan 's 700,000 hunters have now

returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia , and it is literally the case that the hunters

of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. America will forever be safe from

foreign invasion of troops with that kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting - it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security!

Do not allow the left to take your defense away from you.

Pass it on, and tell your Congressperson to not go wimpy now. We must not allow them to take away our momentum. We have come too far!

I agree with you. Americans must remain armed.

We're not free if we don't have the right or the means to defend ourselves.

It is not just that we aren’t able to defend ourselves, it makes all law-abiding citizens sitting ducks for the lawless out there. They will know we can not defend ourselves if government makes it illegal to own a gun, so it’s a big advertisement to attack us.

Are liberals just so dumb....I guess I know Marxism forbids logic and reasoning because it exposes their big lies....but really, this cultural Marxism which forbids rational thought has got to be dumped.

Curious, and I don’t think this is what the MSM meant by “post partisan” but at this point more gun laws aren’t going to mean much...

I’ve been feeling less and less free over the last decade. Guns for defense but they also give us an independence in food supply.

They used a known crazy guys rampage in Tasmania to lock down gun owners then make ownership illegal and took all the firearms (they are slowly returning but at a minor percentage of what was)

Be vigilant

The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. - Adolf Hitler, 1942

It will take a major crisis before it gets dumped or weakened. It's obvious that too many Americans will not learn the truth on their own.

The UK did the same thing after a madman murdered children in Scotland.

If they want to “ban” anything - ban the oligopoly of 6 TV networks on spewing the same propaganda and their owning the majority of TV channels. They have total contempt for us and Fox in only marginally better.

I saw the real Fox election night happy Obama won and people posting here said one presenter/talking head was blaming conservative - not a guest.

Also make sure the networks are 100% American owned with no Saudi money, investors or influence. Bring back the domestic ownership laws.

I know....the brainwashing is so entrenched in the media and schools. It will take an intense reeducation campaign and some ex-KGB agents say that the cognitive dissonance which is used in the schools to destroy logic and reasoning can’t be corrected in some instances. You destroy reasoning in young children (which is being done intentionally in public schools) and they will never be rational because their foundation is totally faulty.

Those who would disarm us are monsters - killers without conscience. They cannot succeed unless and until we are all disarmed and silenced. This, we can never allow. Let others make of that statement what they will.

DEFCON 5, folks.

+1

The next steps are to vilify anyone who opposes the new gun restrictions as being in league with the madman shooter, and here is the kicker...

They shall state that “in the memory of this little girl and all the others who died”

History and the Socialists are always keen to use the memories of those killed to further their own agenda.

As much as I am pessimistic about things in the US anymore - I think the public will not buy it.

They fear this govt - mainly Obama’s govt. They bought a lot of ammo and are buying gold and silver and many are preparing for the worst. Older people and baby boomers with an IQ about 60 realize that something is very very wrong. Younger people with IQs above 60 are starting to realize they are facing an incredibly bleak future as well.

Bush 2000 to 2008, until the Soros/hedge fund/ Obama/options markets crash set up in the late summer 2008 - were freaking nirvana compared to now.

I know moderate Democrats who did not vote for him who have a real sense of foreboding in America and almost a paranoia. They see America falling apart. This is not the Tea Party or Bush who got us here. They and everyone else are not going to be disarmed.

This is the left wing media trying to change the subject of the worst disaster in the history of America - no one speaks about what that disaster is out of fear and it is Obama. They will do anything to change the subject.

This is why I have such a visceral contempt for TV - ALL of it because it protects him at every turn including the NFL, NBA, NCAA and even the MLB.

Fox is really no better. All excited to interview him during or before the Super Bowl with O’Reilly. it is an endless love fest. Totally disgusting.
