Indiana Gun Owners if you'll allow me...
I've never given this forum of open minds it's due credit. From the most rock rib Bible toting conservatives to the religiously cynical and atheist libertarians among us, you have inspired or put into perspective many of the following beliefs.
I'm astonished at the way so many are throwing in the towel. All of the sudden, the country club Republican mentality towards the Constitution has leverage - let us all just roll over on our backs and **** all over our bellies. Some are siding with statists and I'm reading, "This isn't our hill to die on," "We won't fall on the sword for this," "It's a stupid piece of plastic anyway and only good for wasting ammo." It's like being okay with a home invader making off with the mother-in-law's doily because there is no use for it anyway and being naive to think the criminal wants nothing else.
I used to think the Founders and Framers could look down from their Celestial perch and be proud of our stewardship of personal liberty of the Second Amendment and the stalwart defense of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Now I'm not so sure.
It appears many have lost their center of gravity. And while your sexual preference is no business of mine, some of you are all to comfortable bending over and grabbing your ankles. These are statist Democrats and castrated country club Republicans. We're dealing with elite class bureaucrats that can't fathom the need for personal firearms ownership and do not believe in personal firearms ownership at all.
They don't want to give you anything! They look not to trade but usurp. If you think giving up bump stocks will get us national reciprocity you're crazy. If you think giving up bump stocks will get deregulation of the NFA or passage of the SHARE Act you're batsh*t crazy...and I'd love to be wrong and eat crow. I believe a lack of fortitude will embolden. They'll be like sharks in the water on the scent of blood. Imagine the sheep giving the wolf a hunk of flesh, certain the wolf will not want more.
I'm mad at none and perplexed at some. We held our ground after Sandy Hook with only conservative and libertarian-minded Republicans in the House and Red State Democratic Senators scared of losing Uncle Sugar's federal benefits fending off guns grabbers in the legislative and executive branches. Now it's mommas birthday, the kids are at grandma's and many are going soft.
Proceed forth as you like, I need you and you need me to ensure the next generations inherit their inalienable rights in a way other generations would recognize. Our opponents see every hill as the hill upon which they'll die. They will stop at nothing, even if generations of incrementalism gets them the euphoric montage of anti-gun orgasms. It's cliche but it's so true, we have to be strong and get it right every time to keep our God-given rights while they only have to get it right once for our God-given right to not be recognized.
This is not the strength of the gun lobby. It's not the strength of gun manufacturers. It's the strength of the Constitution of the United States.
