The Left's Objective in Its War on the NRA

The litany of major American companies severing their ties to the NRA continues to expand. They are succumbing to the drumbeat of false accusations and hysteria ginned up by the left and its political arm, the Democratic Party, as well as the left's cohorts in the media. The NRA has been in leftists' crosshairs for the past two decades. However, the actual purpose of this targeting is far deeper than what the left proclaims to be its objective: the passage of "commonsense" gun laws and restrictions on gun ownership as an antidote to gun violence.

Beginning in the first part of the twentieth century, the disciples of Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, and later Alinsky (the American left) understood that in order to establish their version of a uniquely American socialist state, virtually all traditions, history, and societal underpinnings would have to be fully undermined and replaced. This process, while time-consuming, would eventuate in a new American society subservient to the central government.

One of the few promises the libs/dems/socialists/commie will actually try to keep. Getting rid of the 2nd. Good luck with that. Like the attitude we see so much today from the alt-left radical extremists-----------refuse to compromise. Well, two can play that game.

They want to get rid of all individual freedoms/rights. A ruling elite should be able to dictate freedoms on a case-by-case basis in their plans.

* Freedom of speech/religion/assembly/petition? (not for anyone who disagrees)
* Due process? (not for men accused by women)
* Search/seizure/Facing your accuser/Fair trial/evidence/warrants? (not for republicans running against Hillary or the republican’s associates)
* State’s rights? (ok to support illegals not to support traditional marriage)
All these and other freedoms should only be allowed when/where/if liberals allow.

Getting rid of the 2nd is important to their plans.
* guns can prevent them from taking away other rights (see the Bundy ranch - a few individuals with guns can stop a government with guns)
* getting rid of the 2nd sets a precedence for ignoring the others.

It’s simple. People with personal arms can be citizens. People without personal arms are subjects. The left wants to turn American citizens into subjects.

I laugh at the internet meme going around showing a guy going into his office to shoot people with a musket. They conclude that Gun technology change wasn't contemplated by the authors of the constitution thus we need to amend or eliminate the 2nd amendment.

What I haven't seen is the response as I am not good enough to produce it. But basically I would love to see the information technology changes from the pony express to instantaneous world communications, the pamphleteer then to now the million or billions that can writes something on twitter and communicate to billions in a second - of course the conclusion would be - I guess we need to restrict the 1st amendment using THEIR logic.

The guilty party for killing the 17 is the NAACP

The organizational disability to domesticate their feral population coerced them to accept the wildness as ordinary

With all the gun owners in this country the NRA should have 25 million members
All the gun owners that aren’t members are allowing others to carry their load

Correct.

They already put an ineligible self admitted British subject in office.
With the full cooperation of BOTH parties.

I find the GOA to be more faithful to the 2nd Amendment.

Let me add, if I may, the framers never envisioned a situation in which the press would be almost exclusively aligned with one political party and its dogma. Hence, removal of the freedom of the press clause from the First Amendment.

That’s a war they are not going to win. I don’t currently own a gun, but I just renewed my old NRA membership and I’m shopping for a good weapon or two. I’m not going to let these SJW Nazis take away might right to defend myself or my family from psychos and Nazi Tyrants. But I repeat myself.

On Sunday our pastor related a story where the police were called to our church school because of a threat. The school was placed on lockdown and he said the first thing that came to his mind was that he needed to have a gun so he could protect the children before the police could arrive. He noted that local police response is 7 minutes average and in seven minutes everyone of his students could be killed.

He felt it was his duty as a pastor and as president of the school to arm himself and get training and to ensure that there are teachers at the school who are also trained and armed.

Liberals don’t understand that a serious attempt at gun confiscation will lead to Civil War

“He felt it was his duty as a pastor and as president of the school to arm himself and get training and to ensure that there are teachers at the school who are also trained and armed.”

Sure he says that, be to the left, he’s a right wing wacko. His logic is flawed because of his warped sense of right and wrong.
