Confessions Of An Anti: Part IV

[Jolly Rogers]

If you decide to expand your essay into a larger format this area,

"More than anything else, I felt betrayed. I realized that I had been manipulated by gun control advocates. They had lied to me about the origins and scope of the Second Amendment. They had lied to me about the availability of guns, and the ease with which firearms could be obtained legally. They had lied to me about so-called “assault weapons”. They had lied to me about the effectiveness of gun control laws. They had lied to me about the history of gun control, never mentioning how it was used by Jim Crow-era southern governments to disarm blacks and make them easy prey for the Ku Klux Klan. All of it was a pack of lies. "

is where I suggest you add some meat. Tell us the lies in detail and how and what you learned about them. The Jim Crow comment needs some companionship here.

I am truly gratified that you are writing this and thanks!

great essay. it shows how little critical thinking is actually used by those who would "lead" us into this sheepherd utopia. just follow the leader, do not ask any questions and definitely do not go off on your own, lest you find out our truth is not so.:banghead:

Superlative four-part essay. Your discussions of graduate school and Europe are especially poignant because the two are closely linked in the minds of many graduate students and other "elite" posers who relish snobbery. While Europe is a real place with real people and real issues, reality never stopped anyone from believing anything, and thousands of America's "best" young minds think Europe is heaven's guest house.

FD,

Very well written. Thanks for sharing your experiences in Europe. Always wondered what it was like over there on the other side of the pond!

Folks...

Thank you very much to all of you have written all of these awesome supportive comments.

I hope that my original intent has been satisfied: to give you a no-holds-barred, honest look inside the mind of a gun control advocate.

If any of you find this helpful, by all means, please make use of it. Print it, e-mail it, share it with others. Perhaps my experiences will encourage others to do what I did: to question the information they have received from gun control groups, and to seek the facts for themselves.

I just copied & pasted all 3 parts to a word document and sat down & read them.....all I can say is WOW! What a wonderfully written essay. I have printed off several copies and passed them around to some of my friends who have anti-gun beliefs and asked them to read it......hope ya don't mind me doing that, but I had to share this!

Good idea to save this great essay in a word file.
