At It Again

In light of these most recent horrible and unfathomable acts of violence where a person suffering from some form of serious mental illness chose to act out and cowardly target defenseless people for mass murder an aged debate has resurfaced with a vengeance.  That is gun control. 

While progressive will say that we need "reasonable" gun control, the truth is, they mean complete gun control one "reasonable" law after another that do nothing to prevent such crimes, and in fact as proven in all instances where it was implemented, has increased crime.  We cannot let this become the focal point of the issue at hand. While the families will look to someone to blame, and there will be more than enough progressive to direct their rage toward the NRA and gun owners, we as a society shouldn't accept these progressive tactics. 

Ask yourself, if it really in my best interest that these government types want to prohibit one of our constitutional rights?  Ask yourself why that is?  And why we should let them manipulate such horrific tragedy to their benefit when we should be focusing on the families and the cause behind these acts of evil. 

If we fail in our duty to protect our own freedom from such people who would use such a tragedy to try and steal it, then what else will we allow them to steal in the dead of night while we sleep soundly in the knowledge that we gave up not only that which we thought we were achieving, security, but also our freedom?

We were entrusted with the sacred duty to protect that most honor of all documents, the constitution. To ensure that we the people, not the government, but we the people could secure our freedom for all time, the founding fathers wisely gave us the bill of rights.  Paramount to those rights was the ability to defend those rights against tyranny.   The second amendment was established as the second amendment for a reason.  To fundamentally make it known that the people of the united states shall have the right to self defense not only for the sake of their own families, but for the sake of everyone's family.

We cannot compromise our freedoms by allowing those who advocate there abolishment to win.  We shall not have security, nor freedom if we fail to keep these vile dogs of progressive liberalism at bay.

Those who would give up you're rights without your consent without giving up their own, should tell you all you need to know about who these people are.  When you're freedom is on the chopping block and the executioner swing that axe, there is no going back.  Any people who have known and lost freedom in their life times shall never know freedom again.  Ronald Reagan once spoke similar words; "Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again"  How truth that comment is.

It is not about gun rights, it is about all rights.  When vile people manipulate a tragicomedy in order to assure in a new set of useless laws, they make victims of us all.  Think about that before you rush off to support yet another attempt to give up your rights.  Just stop for a second and think, if I give up this right today, what right will I have to give up tomorrow?
