If there is one thing that is certain on the political firmament, it is that the Left is passionate about destroying America. Since Karl Marx first penned "Das Kapital" in 1867, there has been a nonstop Leftist march towards the forced political collectivization of the world. The Enlightenment and thousands of years of prior recorded history delivered us to the point of the novel and genius American vision of self-governance and extrication from the bondage of tyrants, kings, and other forms of governance that kept people in complete subservience to the existing power structure.
The American Left and their political party of choice, namely the Democrats, are dead set on turning America into the Land of the 'B' and home of the Slave. The "B" here stands for BEHOLDEN, in slavery to the state that they crave total rule over.
The Left, through their Democrat mouthpiece and The American Pravda, constantly quote the Constitution with bold, broad claims that their political opponents are in constant violation thereof. The Left hates the Constitution because it is the only thing that stands in their way of a total takeover of power. While the Left can play semantical games of sophistry with most of the Constitution, such as claiming a violation of the First or Fourteenth Amendments, there is one that they have a compelling drive to completely eliminate. That is the Second Amendment, which reads:
"The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The Left knows that ultimately, citizens bearing arms would be an obstacle to their grabbing and keeping power in perpetuity. An armed population with the right to self-defense, in their eyes, poses limits on how much of their life, liberty, and happiness can be hijacked. The putrid rhetorical devices used by the Left to turn American citizens against gun ownership for self-protection are constant. The Left, (and in today's America, the Left are all now Radical Left) essentially make their case for the abolition of the 2nd Amendment, with the implication that triggers pull themselves, and guns with a mind of their own decide to commit murder.
The Left has a genius for taking aim at their long-range goals and working constantly with the appearance of reasonableness to achieve them. In the context of their long-term goal of abrogating the 2nd amendment, they regularly say, "This isn't 1776 when they had muskets instead of automatic weapons... we respect the rights of hunters to have weapons for sport..." It's all bullsh_t.
The Left has a driving passion to see the 2nd Amendment abrogated or at least eviscerated to the point where it might allow citizens to bear arms with capacities that would be as useless as the musket of 1776. They are doing so while, at the same time, they are:
Defunding and eliminating the police, leaving American citizens effectively defenseless in their homes and city streets
Allowing catch-and-release policies for violent criminals, creating an urban and increasingly suburban America ripe for the picking of predatory violent criminals for murderous assaults on the streets, home invasions, and every other form of violent criminality.
Virtually every mass shooting and mass shooter also bears the fingerprints of the depraved Left when you take a close look. Almost none of the mass shootings would have occurred if the sick privacy laws enacted by the Left to protect violently criminal perverts would not have been in place. Most Radical Left privacy laws have been enacted to protect politically correct identity groups whom they are seeking to protect through their enactment. The clearest example of such is the HIPAA Laws, initially enacted to prevent those even with a compelling reason to know, even in a hospital setting, that a patient had AIDS. Physicians and hospital personnel, risk their lives in treating such patients, forfeiting exposure to the deadly disease rather than exposing what may have been an embarrassing revelation of the infected patient.
The gun-hatred movement is a favorite of the Left everywhere and has infected other free societies. While we will never know the answers to this:
What would October 7th have looked like if every Israeli home and kibbutz had a gun(s) to defend themselves?
How often do you see an honest, non-deranged citizen committing murder or a violent crime with a gun?
You don't have to be a "gun nut" to understand that the 2nd Amendment is something that America must protect and defend as a foundational right. The Left will do everything in its tactics to take you back to the day when all you could have was a musket…
The failure to meaningfully prosecute violent criminals and eviscerate law enforcement nationwide has made it more important than ever for Americans to bear arms and learn how to use them responsibly. In concert with that, we need to eliminate the insane privacy laws that prevent the early detection of lunatics who need to be institutionalized and who should not be allowed to bear arms.
America, wake up to the fact that you are being mugged by the Left!
