To the best of my recollection, the first ten amendments to the Constitution aren’t listed as the Bill of Needs. Rosa Parks didn’t NEED to sit at the front of the bus. Which RIGHT will the Left decide we don’t NEED any more after disposing of the RKBA? After that one is gone, so are all of the rest. Note my tag line.
I don’t need the NYT or NPR, so let’s ban them!
It’s because the left are “collectivist” in their thinking. They start with the question, “what is in the best interests of the COLLECTIVE?”. From there, they decide, for everyone, that guns aren’t in the best interests of the collective because they believe, simply, that if you get rid of guns you get rid of gun crime.
This is monumentally stupid on multiple levels. First, and this is what makes the USA unique, we believe the best interests of the collective are INDIVIDUAL rights, that the rights of the individual trump the collective. This is what European’s, along with our Canadian friends, don’t understand. Second, criminals will be the only people with guns. Third, it’s a right to protect from a tyrannical government. Fourth, we can also organize militia - this is hugely understated. No other western nation comes close to contemplating an armed populace and allowing them to organize as an armed militia.
In the UK, the concept of individual rights has been completely eroded. You can now commit the crime of ‘offending somebody’. Of course the offended are Muslim’s that demonstrate they’ll become violent. Instead if arresting those that will be violent due to being offended it’s far easier to arrest the person speaking offensive remarks. This means speaking truth is now illegal, supported by the social media platforms.
The world is starting to notice what makes the USA special, be it the UK or Hong Kong. It’s the same reason why the left here have become so rabid, they’re losing and they know it. Their only recourse is to drown out all voices other than their own in an attempt to brainwash everyone. The problem is, for the most part, everyone already sees their game - they’ve already lost but don’t know it.
Fredo's a fool who lives in a safe (gated) home with massive security. HE doesn't need to protect himself - he pays others to protect him...
I'm willing to talk to these phony elites when THEY agree to outlaw all bodyguards and PAID security.
The elites have nose rings and the media pulls them to where ever the want them.
“What this country “need” is a good five cent cigar.” Vice President Thomas R. Marshall of President Woodrow Wilson administration.
what gun control advocates think Americans “need.”
My answer is always so that I can shoot the SOB who wants to take it away from me.
And a good twenty dollar piece of tail
