Today we are going to wade into
some waters that are in need of clarification, something you will not get from
the mainstream media (MM). And because
these waters are deep, this story is unusually long. Keep in mind that this is as abbreviated as I
can make it and still keep its facts.
The MM is drunk with power,
albeit false, over the fact they have kept President Donald Trump backed-up
against the ropes, all the while trying to defend himself against countless
fake scenarios and allegations.
This smarmy display of bravado
arose when the MM learned it could merely toss something outrageous against the
wall, and it would stick, thereby creating havoc and a sense of chaos. The subsequent pandemonium then controlled
the news cycle for the next few weeks-to-months, or even years.
The only good things to emerge
from all this false news commotion were the absolute inability of the MM to
tell the truth, and to demonstrate President Trump’s solid character.
Here is a snippet from our
Constitution, written in 1789, that must be read and understood before we can
proceed further, though.
Amendment II:
A well regulated Militia, being
necessary to the security of a free
State
You may want to re-read that last
segment; I’ll wait until you do.
A few decades ago, The Left tried
to limit the Second Amendment, and even repeal it, because it poses such a high
hurdle to them and any foreign entity taking over the United States of America
During World War II, Yamamoto
Isoroku, Japanese Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet during WW II,
famously said, he didn’t attack the U.S.
An American armed citizenry
appeared to thwart a direct Japanese attack on American soil, the deterrent our
Founding Fathers were apparently trying to achieve.
If you read, or re-read, the
Second Amendment, above, you’ll notice there was no mention of duck hunting or
deer season or target shooting. Nothing
therein mentioned gun-free zones or large capacity magazines, or semi-automatic
weapons that were “designed for killing people.”
Nothing therein specified
background checks or gun show loopholes.
Not one word said anything about “common sense gun laws.” On the other hand, the right of the people to keep
and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, was clearly printed in that
simple passage.
Leftist Americans tried to disarm
its citizens citing over-kill ability of “assault weapons.” Assault Weapons is a creation out of while
cloth to define guns by appearance, only.
There is no functional difference between a coyote hunting rifle and an
AR-15. Period.
Of course, The Left is now
pandering-a-plenty with many of their Democratic Party Presidential Circus and
Dog and Pony Show (DPPCDPS).
Playing off the serious tragedies
of recent mass shootings, several members of the DPPCDPS have been clamoring
for not just President Trump to “Do something,” but to violate the tenets of our
sacred land.

| The Left's definition of an "assault weapon" |
An odd fellow named Robert
O’Rourke, has been making the rounds of public speaking engagements and
television appearances, spouting how if he were the president, he would simply
outlaw assault weapons – particularly AR-15s, and AK-47s. FYI, neither civilian model can fire more
than one bullet per trigger pull, thereby classifying them as semi-automatic,
not fully automatic, guns.
It is plain to see that O’Rourke
has little, if any, knowledge of The Constitution of the United States
O’Rourke said that to be fair, he
would institute a “mandatory buy-back.”
That would entail the federal government paying for your assault weapon.
Firstly, not being a lawyer or a
smart person at all, I don’t think you can buy-back something you didn’t sell
me in the first place. Secondly, that
pesky Second Amendment keeps getting in the way of a good pro-confiscation
argument.
Other Democratic presidential
hopefuls also gravitate towards confiscatory politics, as well as something
called mandatory “background checks.”
If you’ve never bought a gun from
a legitimate retailer – ie.: sporting goods vender, pawn shop, department store
– you are required to fill out multiple pages of questionnaires for the federal
and state governments, before you can legally purchase any gun.
That information is then passed
onto the Federal Bureau of Investigation to see if the prospective purchaser is
able to legally buy or possess a firearm of any type.
What The Left wants to do is make
that information a permanent record so that at a future time, locating and
confiscating those legally purchased guns can be made a breeze.
Federal laws prohibit the storing
and retention of those names and types of guns, to prevent just that kind of
scenario.
And what about places quickly
noted as not having well-armed populaces?
It is often celebrated that Japan ,
England , France , and Spain ,
have overly restrictive gun possession and ownership laws, making them safer
places to reside than good ol’ America
Illegal guns have been used in
all of those countries to commit mass killings of innocent people. And where terrorists wanted to exact some
severe and maximum damage upon unwitting individuals, trucks, knives, pressure
cookers, and swords, were used to inflict mayhem on the unsuspecting.
Unfortunately, those very places
disarmed citizens, whose governments feel they cannot trust its voting
population to make the right choice for their own well-being. Of course, they look upon the American people
as backward and unsophisticated. They
are wrong.
On the other hand, no one recalls
Switzerland
This effort appears to have
worked and continues to work. And, Swiss
men, eighteen-years-old and up, still maintain those weapons in their
homes. Yet, no one asks why such a
heavily armed nation has a desirably low murder rate. Perhaps it’s not the gun.
Americans have the ability to
differentiate good from evil, right from wrong, legal from illegal, savvy from
naïve.
Please return next week for a part
2 conclusion. Thanks for reading.
