Obama And Your Guns
The last time we had a Democrat in the White House the so called Assault Weapons Ban came in to existence. Joe Biden was the architect of the whole idea. At that time President Clinton didn’t have the support of a majority in the legislature, like our new Administration has, but they were still able to pass a law that caused inconvenience to some people, created a false sense of security for others and did absolutely nothing to decrease crime.
Today the Speaker of the House , Senate Majority leader and President have strong anti-gun sentiments which means that there is a good chance they will use this opportunity to do all they can to take your guns away.
The only way to fight the impending attack on the rights of gun owners is to be heard loud and clear when it comes time to protest any changes proposed that do anything but make the Second Amendment stronger.
The decision made in the Heller case should not be considered a permanent victory. In the first weeks of this administration we have seen an amazing amount of reversals and abolition of policies made by the Bush administration. There have been neither discussions nor studies done beforehand because the agenda of the Democrats doesn’t operate on logic or reason but on emotion and the belief that they know what is right for the American people.
The gun owners in this country are generally polite and reasonable people and have been very quiet in the eye of the public mainly because of media bias. In order to be heard we need to be prepared to speak up to anyone that challenges the Constitution. The era of our polite answers and passive attitudes needs to stop and we need to be very vocal. Our opposition doesn’t understand fair play. They really think they have the right to be in charge of our rights. This kind of behavior was exhibited by President Obama in his inaugural speech after President Bush and his staff were gracious enough to make the presidential transition go as smooth as possible. When the Clintons left the White House they took millions of dollars of property paid for by tax payers and never thought they were doing anything wrong.
The above explains what kind of ideology we are dealing with. When the inevitable all out attack on our rights deigns this time we need to be ready to assume a strong offensive position rather than a weak defensive stance as we have in the past. We need to openly protest any threats made by our opposition. Whether it is in a private conversation with an individual or in a group we need to be loud and firm about our beliefs. This doesn’t mean threats should be made but just definitive statements that we will not back down and intend to move forward.
Our founding fathers broke away from England to create a free country. Many have fought and died to preserve those rights. We will soon be challenged either by direct attempts to take our guns away and/or attempts to tax and complicate ammunition and gun purchases and we need to meet those challenges head on.
We will be challenged and we can’t afford to compromise any longer. If anything we need to demand more freedoms and reject the chains of big government.
These may sound like strong words but strength is imperative and we need to stand together against any attempts at tyranny.
The sporting community needs to confront the anti-gun establishment head on. Every time the subject of gun ownership comes we all need to speak out loudly that it is our right, as a citizen of the United States of America, to keep and bear arms. Add to that statement that those who do not exercise that right are undermining one of the pillars of or great country. The rest of the country needs to join us in celebrating our freedom. Let them know that if they aren’t gun owners then they are giving the impression that they are felons and can’t own a gun or they are not good Americans.
We can’t afford to tiptoe around this matter any longer. We know the fight is coming so instead of waiting and letting the ruling class get the upper hand let’s start circulating this message.
Forward this letter to everyone you know and let’s all add our own comments along the way until we formulate a plan of action and the let’s follow up on it.
Let us resolve to keep our basic rights in tact lest we loose them all.
The following is a copoy of a letter that I sent to my Congressman. We should all take the time to let our feelings know in this manner. At least it is a start:
Dear Congressman Barton,
*I am one of your constituents and have been hunting and fishing all my life. The right to keep and bear arms is very important to me.
*I have been giving some thought to the way the new Administration is operating and have pondered ways to preempt their inevitable gun grabbing attempts. I think it would get things out in the open more quickly if gun owners ask for more rights and even economic aid to get more guns in to the hands of law abiding citizens.
*Just what if millions of gun owners wrote to their congressmen and proposed that the Feds pay for CHL training and one American made handgun for every citizen who meets the qualifications already in place in their respective states. This would be in the spirit of our founding fathers' intentions that we be armed to protect ourselves. This would also make it easier for a militia to be formed in every community in the event that government grew to the point of being corrupt and tried to take firearms and other rights away from good people.
*In a country turning soft on defense, every man needs to be able to fight for American dreams and ideals. At the same time jobs would be created and the federal moneys would stay in the U.S.A. .
*Please give me your thoughts on the above.
