The Left Still Want Your Guns
By Rob Hood (03/03/06)
We live in a time in which our great nation remains divided on many different issues like abortion, War, same-sex marriage, states' rights, eminent domain, and a host of other topics that can get two opposing forces into a heated debate whenever the topic of interest is brought up. I do believe that there is a number one issue and that is the war on terrorism right now, but after that I believe that most issues have an equal representation of value to the average American voter.
One issue that is seemingly not only going away, but getting worse is that the anti-gun crowd still want to ban our guns and diminish our Second Amendment rights. Left wing gurus like Michael Moore, George Soros, the ACLU, the UN, and liberal politicians like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and several others are still trying to take away our rights as free law abiding citizens to own a firearm. The particular firearm of choice to ban is the handgun.
Notice that in almost every instance where handguns have either been made harder to get or banned, crime rates have soared, not dropped as the liberal anti-gunners predicted. "Gun free D.C" has its fair share of handgun related crime and just ask London, England how well their handgun ban has worked. Crime has INCREASED, not decreased because the criminals now know that people do not have a legal way of protecting themselves so that makes the hardened criminal much braver about breaking into homes in the dead of night.
These so called leaders like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi who want to "take back America" want to take it back alright. They want nothing more than a society where guns and hunting are illegal and gay marriage and sodomy are legal. We simply cannot afford to elect leaders who show such poor judgment of morals, lawful interpretation of the constitution, and common sense decency.
Recently, according to the NRA, Elizabeth Bishop-Goldsmith, founder of Mothers Against Guns stated that transporting a weapon from one state to another should be punishable by conviction. This is similar to what New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has recently said about a police officer that was killed. He blamed the National Rifle Association and surrounding states for not having harsher laws regarding handgun registration and bans.
There is a problem with that mentality. I have stayed at a hotel by myself before 250 miles away from my home in a strange town I have never been to and feel very uncomfortable not having a way to protect myself in case someone tries to break into my hotel room. Calling the Police is a first step, but the police may not make it in time. Then what? Tell the criminal to wait about ten more minutes? Yeah right! Being able to carry a firearm, particularly a small handgun across state lines should not only be legal, but should not even be mentioned by a politician. I wonder how many of these liberals who make these laws actually break their own law by doing the very thing they speak out against? Remember Michael Moore? He is known for being anti-gun ( he is pretty much anti-everything). He got busted entering a bus carrying a concealed firearm "for protection". If that is not blatant hypocrisy then what is?
Every time someone mentions banning guns or making some kind of new restrictions, gun sales soar. Remember Canada? When the very liberal leader of Canada, Paul Martin announced a proposal to ban all handguns, the handgun sales that week soared tremendously. It was reported that some customers even bought two handguns in the same day just to spite Mr. Martin's proposal. While Canada and Japan and Australia and the UK can do these things it has nothing to do with America.
America has its own constitution that guarantees us the right to own and bear arms. No country or group has an right to say otherwise. Other countries can ban mustard and ketchup if they want; I don't really care what they do over there. This is a AMERICA. We are our own people. We are FREE! We are a sovereign nation and by the grace of GOD will we stay free and sovereign!
We are entering another time when elections are coming nearer and we need to be mindful of these candidates out there and the fact that the very left wing news media will try as hard as possible to distort anything they can get their dirty little paws on to win a victory for the left. We must ignore people like Dan Rather and other affiliated "news" programs. These "news" programs often do run decent stories, but when it comes to politics, these people are as biased as they are human. We have to be careful what we believe on the evening "news" nowadays because not everything is in the best interest of the people anymore.
We must remember that the Second Amendment is here to stay no matter how much liberal politicians and billionaire activists try to take it away. We can and we must defend freedom and ALL of our liberties. The left is a little strange in that they will quote any part of the United States Constitution to make their point but refuse to even look at the Second Amendment which is the very one that made all other amendments possible.
Freedom is certainly not free. We have to earn it and fight like a dirty dog to even get noticed sometimes, but in the end those who are consistent and not willing to give up the fight will win and that, my friends, is what we as Americans are all about. We love our freedom. We live our Country. We love our God and we love our guns and we cannot and must not let anyone from anyplace at any time take those traditions, laws, morals, and ethical standards away no matter what name they give it in their own twisted world that they live in.
I am proud to be a conservative Christian American who flies my flag high in the face of terrorism and communism and am even prouder to be a supporting member of the National Rifle Association of America because of the freedom and common sense that they fight so hard to keep in this great land. They truly need a round of applause for their work and dedication for fighting left wing socialism and a very anti-constitution political branch of America.
Our forefathers did not fight and die in several major wars so that years later our freedoms, dream, hopes, and beliefs could be taken away by the very people whom they vowed to fight for. When this nation began, I am sure that the founding fathers had no intention of America becoming a socialist nation like some wish it to be. It is organizations like the National Rifle Association that keep our Second Amendment rights protected from unjust and self-righteous left wingers who hate everything that this nation stands for. I don't know who you are with today, but I know my freedoms and I know who fights to protect them and I know whose side I am on. If you are a proud American as I am you won't let the likes of left wing politicians and billionaires even come close to our Second Amendment rights this November and you know what you have to do to keep this from happening!
