It isn’t what I or anyone else wants, it is what it is.

I understand that.

We’re in this pickle and it’s hard to see our way out.

Communists and other authoritarians always see things through a long lens.

They are like a boa constrictor around our Liberty, each and every serious crisis is an opportunity for it to squeeze a little more and then relax, waiting for the next time.

It never voluntarily reverses its stranglehold on freedom, only pausing in between power grabs.

In the case of the second amendment, it used the serious crisis of the late 1960’s to grasp our right to self defense and it’s been trying to choke it off ever since.

The Liberty constricting snake known as the pro-oppression left can see their confiscation goal off in the distance, but they need to squeeze the life out of the concept of private property and the right of self defense first.

Your ability to buy or sell a gun without their say-so is an important stop point in their long-range goal of crushing the life out of the second amendment.

All I’m saying is that we shouldn’t facilitate this goal.
