I’m not going to lie, - I’ve stayed out of this and other discussions about it because I’m almost exhausted trying to defend the notion that a hundred million innocent Americans’ Rights ought not be violated because a small handful of deranged people weaponize that Freedom and do evil things.
What engaging I have done is with Fudds -“Lifetime Voting Members of the NRA” proud of telling the NRA to ban bump stocks and hell bent on pushing an “assault weapons ban” because you “don’t need an AR for hunting or for sport.” People who ought to know better, but believe their bolt guns will be safe with some measure of capitulation.
Now there’s a damned “Walk Out of School for 17 Minutes” protest a bunch of damned teens have decided to rally around to demand gun control.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: they won’t be coming for the guns, they’re coming for our children’s minds. Disarmament will come psychologically, and then junior will put each of us in a home, talking about how much they love us but we’re from a bygone era with backwards ideas. And as the nurse restrains/wheels us away, our kids will bury their faces in something electronic on the drive back to our home to turn in all the guns.
And they’ll smile sheepishly when they visit you once or twice a year, then post selfies with you so all their “friends” on social media think they’re the best kids ever while showering them with fake internet points.
We need to stop thinking about the fight for our Right to Arms as one dimensional. We must engage on more than the here and now. We have to teach our kids about Liberty, it’s value, and it’s cost. We have to raise a generation of Free Men and Free Women - for those in power are intent of raising a generation of Slaves.
And if..... when....it comes to defiance in the face of tyranny, we must summon up that same American fortitude our ancestors possessed, and be defiant. Teach our children that such defiance has a proper time and place. And for God’s sake, live and die as Free Men.
Freedom is never more than one generation from annihilation, and while we may be winning now, we’re losing the next war.
