2nd Amendment Contrast: Leftist Gun Grabbers Win; Iowa Gun Owners Gather

The Obama regime has proven once again who they really are. As if we didn’t know. Recently, the President used the Executive Order pen to bypass Congress and the will of the people to come after guns in America, again. The guns that they came after this time are mostly collector’s items and memorabilia-type weapons. So why do it? Why come after some gun guy out there collecting old WWII era guns? Getting rid of those weapons does nothing to fix the supposed problem of guns on the street and violence in the ‘hood. I haven’t seen too many gang members with an M1 from the 1940’s slung over their shoulders. Have you?

The truth is the gun-grabbers want them all. Seriously, no matter what they say to the contrary, the anti-gun liberals really do want them all. That pesky Congress has really stood in the way of our President and his dreams of a gun-free-utopia. Joe Biden, threatened, “If Congress won’t act, we’ll fight for a new Congress,” Biden said in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. “It’s that simple. But we’re going to get this done.” Old Joe sounds pretty determined to git-r-done. Limited power and checks and balances and all that, sure is annoying. Thank you Founding Fathers.

Our current group of leaders working in concert with the lap-dog-propaganda-laden media will do anything they can to spread a narrative. That theme is that all guns are evil. It doesn’t matter if they are seventy-year-old antiques. Also, it’s not just that guns are evil, but the pro-gun people in Congress are evil, and gun loving citizens are an evil fringe of society. The more they can indoctrinate the mindless of our society, the better for the maniacal plans of disarmament.

They just don’t see the America that I see. I recently attended one of the coolest gun events ever. The Iowa Firearms Coalition put it on at the Brownell’s Big Springs Range in the heart of Iowa. I was humbled to be allowed to share the stage and promote my upcoming book with US Congressmen, State Legislators, and Radio Personalities. An estimated 1200 people attended and roughly 80% of them were open carrying. We’ve been so indoctrinated to fear weapons that it takes a little getting used to when everyone is openly packing. About half of the speakers, politicians included, had a pistol on their hip as they gave their speech from the podium. US Congressman King quoted the Concord Hymn by Ralph Waldo Emerson. (Look it up) It almost brought tears to my eyes.

Despite a thousand people being armed with deadly weapons, shockingly, no one was killed. Don’t guns kill people? I guess not. One guy was injured tough; he caught his finger in the action of his pistol at the range. A little blood, no big deal. The rat-a-tat-tat-tat sound of machine guns and the boom of the 50 cal. echoed over the hills as Cowboy Action people strolled by in old west garb. It was awesome; if you’re in Iowa next year in the heat of the summer, don’t miss it. You would think there would be protestors or something at an event like this, but none showed. Maybe they are smarter than I think. I wonder what it would be like if we had some liberals attend this rally. Would they wander around in total fear? Would they begin to see the good-hearted patriots that gun lovers are? Or would they snap photos to mock us all to their friends on Facebook?

The lines are getting clearer every day. Liberals want all of our guns. Conservatives and freedom-loving patriots are going to have to speak up against the incremental loss of our 2A rights or they really will disappear. This abusive government stepping around Congress and taking away antique rifles is just another step in the master plan of our opponents. Wake up, American Patriots. I implore you to attend gun rallies, support gun-friendly candidates, join your favorite gun group, tell your friends and neighbors what’s going on. That’s how we fight, before it’s too late, and it really turns into Molon Labe.
