Oh, dear.
The Associated Press has looked at what's happened since Sandy Hook, and they've come to realize that their dreams of gutting the Second Amendment have failed spectacularly.
But in the three years since, many states have moved in the opposite direction, embracing the National Rifle Association's axiom that more "good guys with guns" are needed to deter mass shootings.
In Kansas, gun owners can now carry concealed weapons without obtaining a license. In Texas, those with permits will soon be able to carry openly in holsters and bring concealed weapons into some college classrooms. And in Arkansas, gun enthusiasts may be able to carry weapons into polling places next year when they vote for president.
Dozens of new state laws have made it easier to obtain guns and carry them in more public places and made it harder for local governments to enact restrictions, according to a review of state legislation by The Associated Press. The number of guns manufactured and sold and the number of permits to carry concealed weapons have also increased, data show.
The Associated Press isn't completely distraught, however, as it points to tiny totalitarian Michael Bloomberg and his personally bankrolled gun control groups as bright points in their otherwise collapsing movement. Bloomberg has had some limited success when he pours millions of dollars into carefully chosen political races.
What Bloomberg's not doing, however, is winning on a national level, which is why he's been forced to fight stop-gap fights on the state level to limit the damage to his cause of citizen disarmament.
We're winning..... and they can't stand it.
Youtube hobbyists are turning roofing nail guns into automatic firearms.
Techies are 3D printing guns.
States are legalizing more CCW and more open carry.
...and crime has been declining for 2 decades.
In the face of the above, Democrats keep choosing to go soft on terrorism, individual rights, and home defense.
Go figure.
Bottom line is most people want to live more than they want to believe liberal media lies about guns.
It’s time for some push back - their myriad of laws (that the conveniently ignore) need to be rolled back.
Yes, the proverbial cat is out of the bag - but the national socialist left still persists in pushing their agenda.
My hope is that they keep on pushing and show everyone the left’s true intentions.
Muahahahaha, I have that on a t-shirt!
I use that point whenever the bogus "background check to prevent the wrong hands" mantra comes up in the media.
I follow it up by asking all those who have never bought a firearm to visit this site and fill out the form to see how much info FOR EACH gun the person buys. I hope I change a few open minds.
Owned by Warren Buffet.
“We can thank the media and Obama for stirring up so much fear that the country has mobilized against gun control and it’s also been a boon for gun sales.”
That mobilization by citizens, one by one, is properly termed the calling up and mustering of the militia - ordinary American citizens. It’s what our prescient Founders rightly expected to occur.
