The “news” media is ranting the democrats familiar song, after a muslim jihadi committed atrocities in a gay nightclub: “We must ban the AR-15, a weapon of war, it has no place in the public’s hands. Why does anyone need an AR-15 to murder Bambi?”
It doesn’t matter to the “fair and balanced“ media that the mass murderer (not “gunman,” a deliberate derogatory sexist slur against men—and guns) didn’t use or even have an AR-15.
It doesn’t matter that banning the AR-15 would have zero effect on what was done, or what the next jihad assault will do. All that matters is that murders create political capital and useful propaganda that influence useful idiots to press Congress to act against the Constitution. And they do. For shame.
What democrats and anti-rights bigots want is to ban all effective weapons in American hands. Without realizing it (maybe) they pursue marxist goals of making the public subservient to the government boot. It is the exact opposite of why the Second Amendment is in the Constitution in the first place: It’s there to balance federal power.
Ever since the so-called Gun Control Act of 1968, when officials could get all the machine guns they wanted, but you and I could only get single-shot rifles like the AR-15, we have been subarmed. The balance of power flipped decisively to government.
That’s why you see the atrocious federal leviathan that concerns everyone. Even the ACLU is worried about how much federal power has grown. Mao was right. Power comes from the barrel of a gun. All I have is the barrel of a pen. Ain’t much of a match.
Democrats and their sycophantic media allies have been down this road before. They’re yelling about the AR-15, but when the bills come out—mark my words—the AR will not be the only gun in the bill. Every black gun known will be included. They hate black guns. They barely understand guns at all, but if they’re big and black, they hate ‘em. Listen, it’s not good to hate.
Ours only fire one shot at a time, and are all we have left. Antis think they’re machine guns, but they took those from us back in 1968. They know nothing, but that doesn’t matter to hoplophobes—people with morbid gun fear who desperately need but never seek treatment.
In their last bill, Diane Feinstein’s, they listed guns in a 90-page catalog, but that was a trick to throw you off. You think this bill will go backwards and list fewer? That bill, in fine print, broadly included guns with anything that could serve as a grip. I know, it sounds impossible, but I read these things. With a little subtle maneuvering, that’s what they did, the list was a smokescreen, didn’t matter, since any gun has grips, so you can pick it up and hold it. That’s how these people operate. So-called reporters promoted the talking points (“Save the children!”) not the actual proposal (“Take all the guns!”). The so-called background program was a gun-registration scheme, again misreported.
Then bigots yell at the NRA for blocking “reasonable common sense bills.” They are nothing of the sort. And of course, banning the AR-15—the finest rifle made in America, the choice of police who are otherwise outgunned against the exact same criminals people face—would have no effect against jihadis. It would just disarm us. The jihadis can’t bear anything, legally. Hillary, Obama, all their allies, they know this. They’re knowingly lying to your face, to disarm you.
And this no-fly lie? The Constitution cannot (legitimately) be suspended by putting anyone’s name on a list. If you’re so bad you can’t fly to Cincinnati, why are you still out walking around? Why can you take a train or bus there? You should be charged with something before your rights can be summarily removed. You should have due process. Those are blazing red lines no serving politician should ever cross. Any politician who votes to remove your rights by simply writing down your name is by definition a tyrant who must be removed from office. Who writes down your name? A federal police force acting in secret. Secret police list. In America?
If Americans are subarmed, limited to bolt-action wood guns, or some other total infringement that leaves America in a completely unbalanced state, the shining light of freedom will have been extinguished. The jihadis will have won. With asymmetrical warfare underway, we should be teaching Americans how to shoot, and arming them better, not passing laws to confiscate their guns.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, they know this road. They are teaching people about how to shoot. Look:
