The Second Amendment is the cornerstone upon which all of our other freedoms and liberties are protected and reinforced. Without it the rest are just hollow words with no way of enforcing them except trough legal action which is, and will always be, violated by those that do not prescribe to the law.
There are only two methods to get anyone to take action: reason and force. If you cannot force me to act then you must persuade me with your arguments. The progressive socialists have been manipulating a segment of the population in this Nation for well over 100 years through their arguments that create an emotional response that forces a controlled reaction that obscures intellectual action. They use the heated moment of emotional response to get their myopic misanthropes to jump and then propagate the discord with a continual barrage of Pavlovian response words that they have ingrained into the modern populace through the media and educational systems they control.
They also understand they have a very narrow window to motivate this group because after about three weeks even the average double-digit IQ modern Americans, who redefine the term “low-information citizens”, start to lose the emotional motivation. They move back towards complacency more concerned with their daily doldrums and escaping their pitiful existence than staying engaged in their master’s rage.
So once you remove the rhetoric that is always flamed by emotion, the progressive socialist’s hatred of the Second Amendment becomes what is in the first paragraph; the teeth that bite when you infringe on the Bill of Rights.
How can you have freedom of speech, religion or gathering or to redress grievances with the government if it does not respect those rights? That is evidenced by the attacks of the progressive socialists against all of those freedoms for far too many decades (Yes, I know I left out freedom of the press. But they no longer deserve that freedom because they are complicit in their guilt to deny us ours). How can you keep your property rights and to be free from illegal search and seizure if there is no fear of a forced reprisal? How can there be enumerated powers liming the power of government (both state and federal) and placing that power with their bosses (WE THE PEOPLE) if they do not fear the reciprocity of that decision or action?
The Left wants us unarmed because conservative America does not respond to their dogma, does not accept their agenda for America, does not jump to their emotional arguments. Conservative’s function through fact-based logic and reasoning. We read, we watch, we learn, we observe, we gather information from multiple sources and then create our own conclusions based on empirical methodology that leads us to a definitive fact-based summation. We do not accept the emotional argument without facts. We do not accept them just because talking heads say so. We do not blindly agree because media personalities decry it. We do not aimlessly accept because entertainers tell us to.
We are very much of the Midwest mindset so eloquently associated with the residents of Missouri: SHOW ME!
So, if the progressive socialist ruling class in the District of Corruption can’t reason with us (which they know they cannot because our core DNA is kryptonite to their rhetoric), then they must force us. And they fear the truth of that action will present the one picture that will perfectly and permanently identify who and what they are and what they really are trying to accomplish with their agenda: The total subjugation of the United States and the end of all ENUMERATED POWERS in the Constitution and The Bill of Rights.
I know that 90% of those who read this essay will understand the implications. I am proud to say that more than 100 million Americans are now armed. But remember our freedoms and liberties that have already been lost have been removed more by slow erosion than outright ban. The DC socialist progressives know that the last time this was done the Dems paid dearly and lost the House and Senate in 1994 midterm elections forcing Clinton to have to play nice with others and find other activities to occupy his time in office.
We have to constantly remind all elected officials at all levels of government that not only do elections have consequences but so does defense of our rights and their fidelity to defending those rights as defined by our Founding documents.
I do not hold much faith in the two- party political system under which we now suffer. Their track record is undeniable and it is anything but pro-liberty or pro-freedom. I will continue to espouse my mantra that IT IS TIME TO END THE TWO PARTY POLITICAL REIGN OF TERROR IN AMERICA!
Again, the only way you can force action is by reason or force. For 158 years we have reasoned with the two-party ruling class elites that we elected. WELL AMERICA, HOW’S THAT WORKING FOR YOU?
Albert Einstein, one of my life-long heroes said that “…insanity is doing the same thing the same way each and every time and expecting different results”. And you don’t have to be a Quantum Physicist or Rocket Scientist to figure that one out!
