It’s truly hard to start a discussion on how to address the problems of our economy or national defense of our country when those in authority at all levels are working so desperately to distract the citizenry with various contrived ‘crises.’ Nowhere is this more evident that the continued attacks on the 2nd amendment… that really should be a non issue.
In any event, since folks keep wanting to discuss our right to bear arms, there seems to be a lot of discussion. Nothing has brought people together more than the threats of an overzealous confiscatory government.
Here are a few of the recent issues that have caught my eye:
1) There have been many companies targeted by governmental agencies for their either neutral or pro-gun views. I particularly was amused at how the support began to swell when anti-second folks tried to boycott Starbucks!
2) President Obama has turned over his grassroots campaign to bring his fervent message of gun control and confiscation to the masses in the so-called “Gun Grabber’s Appreciation Day!”
3) Day of Resistance 2.23
The “Day of Resistance” was designed to defend the ownership of the American AR-15 rifle, which was coined as an ‘Assault Rifle”… whatever that is? The caliber is .223 so I guess they thought February 23rd was a good day to get together to support this famous rifle.
A underlying and disturbing tremor is running through the discussion with the federal government buying up every piece of ammunition and rifle they can get their hands on and passing them along to not only homeland security but also social security and the tax man… and I am sure among others.
One dark forecaster said that our federal government has enough firepower to shoot every American 100 times. Should we be concerned?
