A dozen years ago we had quite the excitement at the house late one evening when a young ne’er-do-well wannabe in a black hoodie worn thug style decided to walk through our front door uninvited unannounced and most unwelcome.
The dog went
crazy my wife and daughter started hollering and I came charging up from the
family room pistol drawn. I carried in the house (and everywhere else) then and
still do today.
The young ne’er-do-well
quickly decided the thug life was not to his liking that evening and fled into
the night before I had a chance to insert my trigger finger into the trigger
guard.
Had he not
things would have ended quite differently and considerably more violently for,
as you will note, there was no time during this little ballet where any of us
had time to call the police let alone wait for them to arrive.
And so it
happens so many times a day, so many thousands of times a year, across America
where the mere presence of a firearm disrupts a crime without having to be
fired. And sadly there are times when it must be fired of course when the
wannabe thug just will not take not for an answer.
To hear the
media and progressive left tell it though you would think the only purpose for
a firearm is indiscriminate killing of innocents. And well we must prevent that
don’cha know. We must keep America safe from herself. We have only the public
good in mind.
They have
been trying for a long time of course, but mostly half heartedly because they
cannot get all their own people on board.
There are
over 100,000,000 gun owners in America who own well over 300,000,000 guns. And
millions more who by choice or circumstance are staunch supporters of gun
rights. Pro-gun is more likely the consensus in this country than they would
have you believe.
And the gun
owners are not just all right side conservatives. I personally know a great
many progressives and even a few socialists (yes they are) who more than one
firearm. Even the feared dreaded evil AR-15 (that AR stands for Armalite by the
way, the company that makes them, not Assault Rifle like the anti-gunners want
you to believe. No such beast actually exists.
And that
ownership cuts across all other bounds such as race creed gender sexual
orientation and such.
Our
Congresscritters know this and are in no hurry to vote themselves out of a job
(though many oppose gun control on truly ethical grounds which proves Congress
and Ethical are not always mutually exclusive).
Joe Biden
know this, or did at one time anyway, and so does Kamala Harris and the rest of
their cohorts. They know there are Democrats who could or would never vote for
a gun grab for fear of losing their job and they know Republicans would almost
certainly insist on an open type vote so everyone would have to state publicly
how they voted.
So they
choose the end run. Executive orders to enact gun control. Win by any means possible.
And even if it is challenged in court it could take years to work its way
through during which time the E.O. would still be in effect. Sure the next
President could reverse the E.O. but that is at least four years away as well
and as this past election showed us we cannot count on a victory.
While today
Biden went after stabilizing braces (an accessory that actually gives you
better control over an AR style pistol) and “ghost guns” which do not really
exist. Federal law requires whenever a firearm actually is capable for firing,
be it homemade or manufactured, it must be serialized, the most ominous e.o.
encourages “red flag” laws which help friends or relatives In notifying authorities if a “loved one” should not be allowed a firearm on mental health
grounds. You can imagine the deviltry that could ensue with that.
We all know
it is not going to stop there. In for a penny in for a ound. Sooner or later
they will geta round to all the other guns, whether they be semi-auto “assault
rifles” or pistols, regular semi auto rifles, pistols that can hold more than 6
or 8 or 10 rounds (goodbye dear Glocks)(and the venerable 1911).
When that
happens you will no longer need to worry about getting a bit of blood on the carpet
if an intrusion goes sideways. All you will need do is throw a plastic ketchup
bottle at the bad guy. And this will be all well and good until you are labeled
a racist when it’s discovered the bad guy with the knife or gun that you gave a
bongee on the noggin was actually a black cross dressing transgender drag queen
and that was certainly your reason for not wanting him/her to come uninvited
unannounced and unwelcomed into your home.
The hypocrisy
behind this is stunning. Both Biden and Harris have admitted to being gun
owners. Biden during the 2016 debates when he said he told Jill if ever someone
was trying to get in the house just walk out on the balcony with one of his
shotguns and fire a round into the air to scare them off. We’ll not even
discuss how dangerous an action that is except to say that even the police are
taught to never fire a warning shot (if you believe otherwise it is time to
switch to some different television programs).
Harris has
stated on several occasions, while trying to convince us she wasn’t coming for
the guns, that she keeps a pistol by her bedside for protection.
And then
there is Hunter who lied on a Federal form when purchasing a handgun. And if
that wasn’t bad enough he further felonied by disposing, or having his
girlfriend dispose of, that handgun in a dumpster near a school. But there are
no charges as far as I know being brought against him (that old Biden name don’cha
know). If we are not going to enforce the laws we have now what makes us think
any new ones will help? And what makes us think the bad guys will suddenly
become law abiding citizens?
An even
bigger question is will both Biden and Harris comply with their own gun grabs
when the time comes that his precious Purdy and her bed stand bodyguard are now
illegal under their own Executive Orders.
Well of course
they won’t and we know why. They told us themselves.
“To scare the
bad guys off” “To protect myself and my family”
And there it
is.
The purpose
has never been to protect Americans from themselves of course. To stop gun
violence. To end the slaughter of the innocents.
The purpose
is and always has been to protect themselves
From us
When they
overstep the bounds and strip away more and more of our freedoms.
We saw how
scared they are of us in their reaction in the aftermath of January 6. When not
one of the protestors fired a weapon. In fact the only weapon used with deadly
force was a gun fired by Capitol police, protecting them from us of course,
that killed an unarmed woman. And again no repercussions that I know of.
Now D.C, is
starting to resemble Berlin in the 1960s but I’ll let you decide which side is
which.
Americans are
seeing through all this and know trouble is coming.
We are all now me a dozen years ago, running toward the ne'er-do-well thug at the door and hoping he doesn't do something stupid. While the thug wishes we did not have that damn pesky gun between him and his goal.
I attend a
lot of gun shows. And in recent months I have seen several occasions where the
gentlemen in the plain cloths and straw hats are sitting and waiting for their
background check on a new pistol.
When the
Amish are gunning up you know there is trouble in The New Promised Land.

Citizens must be allowed equal firepower to law enforcement for Americans to remain free.
MSM always tells us about gun violence, but never how a well-armed gun owner saved his family. These are the stories that are never Trump-eted.
Biden informs us that no Amendment is an absolute. The Democrats are in the business of eroding liberty and destroying what it means to be an American.
Take the passion to the polls. Let's push back against a socialist/Communist agenda in our nation where the elite rule with iron glove against the vastly peaceful population.
The Amish are gunning up, too, huh? An important sign of our times!
Great post, MR. Thanks.
