The
weather was as changeable as the gun haters' rhetoric. It started
cloudy, then the sun came out, then it rained. First, they said they
want to ban so-called assault weapons, then they said they don't want
to take our guns. Not once did they express a concern for liberty,
the most precious value. So it went in Morrisville, PA on May 11,
2013 at the Pre-Mother’s
Day March against Gun Violence.
Hear
their own terrible words:
In
a speech rife with hypocrisy one speaker claimed she was a little
afraid of the counter-protesters carrying guns. It didn't occur to
her to think of our fears. There is a reason we stayed in
Pennsylvania. We knew we couldn't go into Trenton, New Jersey (where
their rally started) with our guns. The police would have arrested
us. Even in Morrisville the township threatened to arrest open
carriers. We ignored those threats and they backed down. Yet somehow
the gun haters saw themselves as being threatened. The fear was
totally irrational. The open carriers would have protected them had a
criminal tried to harm them. Meanwhile, it is they, the gun haters,
that want to send armed law enforcement officers after gun owners. Go
figure.
In
his speech Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell made the point
that the National Rifle Association
has endorsed background checks in the past. He also emphasized that
former President Ronald Reagan was an advocate of gun control and
that A rated Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) was one of the authors of the
recently failed background check bill. Gun rights advocates should
take note and realize that the Republican Party is not going to
protect you from the gun haters.
Most
of the rest of what the gun haters said was just appeals to emotion.
Of course, it is difficult to think clearly when talking about loved
ones killed, but the truth is that that is exactly when clear
thinking is most needed. Going after our gun rights may seem like the
quickest solution to the gun violence problem but it is not. It will
only make things worse. I ask the gun haters to join us in calling
for a real solution to the problem while leaving our gun rights
intact. Support Law
Enforcement Against Prohibition's call to end the drug war. For an in depth explanation of why we have the violence that we do and what to do about it please read, "Progressivism’s Violent World".
Mainstream
media coverage of the event, “Pro
and anti-gun groups rally in Morrisville”
mentions the canceled and moved Little League Baseball games.
Concerned Gun Owners of Bucks County,
the group organizing the counter-protest, asked the gun haters to
reschedule their rally out of respect for the young baseball players
but, sadly, they refused.

They would not like us to take away their right to free speech so why do they want to take away our RIGHT to own guns?
ReplyDeleteExactly. They get upset because we don't play nice but they should think about the fact that they want armed LEOs using force to control our guns.
DeleteHonestly they would like to take YOUR free speech away too. They just haven't figured out a good way to do that yet, PC only goes so far.
Deletesaw this on the DP. Thank you! (Anonymous nails it with the question asked)
ReplyDeleteWhy is it the anti-2nd amendment haters are gelded male types and feminist Real Men haters? I watch and always seems to be the case at these anti-2nd amendment rally's.
ReplyDeleteHardly "gelded."
DeleteLobotomized, maybe.
"Common sense" = "I didn't do any homework, but I thought about the problem for a full 30 seconds and this is the first answer I came up with."

No one wants your guns, you fools. You just want people to try to take your guns, then you'll feel justified in using them. Not gonna happen.
ReplyDeleteNo, they just want to ban them, right? You do know that there have been weapons bans before, no? They want an assault weapons ban to establish the principle that weapons can be banned. After that it is adios pistolas. Read the history of the UK. 100 years ago they started with "reasonable" controls & now they have no guns. Nice try but we're not falling for that line.
DeleteCorrect. Hellfire missiles will ensure innocent gun owners will be incinerated along with their guns.
Deletegreat post, great info. I saw a biased article shared by MomsDemand chick on Twitter, and thanks to your work, I get to see a fuller picture of the situation, to say the least!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Noone
DeleteSo if the debate is not about the gun why all the pictures of the gun? It is people who kill not the gun.
