There was a common phrase that you used to hear tossed around when talking about someone that you disagree with. People would say, “You can’t blame them for trying.”
I’m not sure that phrase was ever really true, but when we’re talking about anti-2A zealots like the Biden administration, I can definitely say that the phrase isn’t true. You certainly can blame them for trying to take your guns. They have the data, can see it in context, and they know what the results will be if they succeed in taking your guns (the results will be more crime, especially more violent crime).
So, yes, I can blame them for trying, and you should, too.
And what are they trying to push on us today? Michael Clements gives us the details:
In addition [to other new directives from the Biden Justice Department pushing gun control], over $135 million will go to 48 states under the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program for red flag programs, state crisis intervention court proceedings, and related programs.
[Mark] Oliva [managing director of public affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation] expressed some concern over the red flag grants. He said his group supports them if due process rights are preserved under the law.
“To date, none of the states with these ‘red flag’ laws contain provisions that protect the due process rights of individuals who might be subject to these laws,” Oliva’s email reads.
That’s right, the Justice Department under Joe Biden is using $135 million of tax payer money to push red flag laws, meaning that you and I are paying for this garbage.
These are the same red flag laws that haven’t stopped a single mass shooting (that I’ve every heard of) and that won’t save any lives. If they did, then, current laws on the books to take firearms from dangerous people would have already saved lives.
And they haven’t.
It kind of makes you think that they want you disarmed and poorer (by taking and wasting your tax money) for other reasons, doesn’t it?
All I can say is …………LEt them Try It!!!!!!
Would it not be better to use the $135 million to help the folks in N Carolina,Georgia, Florida since the FEMA asses have run out of money ?? Because it will be a good waste of tax payer money to try and take our guns away ?? Also I would think that if they would take away all the firearms that all the illegal Gangs and Drug dealers would be a better bloody project!!
Thank you for your editorial. This is so out of control that I’m to the point of crazy.
We will need to officially band together because Hell will break loose if he actually tries to take the only thing that we have to protect our families
I would like to know, just how many killings there have been, in the last four years. BY licensed gun owners???
If these government officials want to try to say that they know so much about how things should be handled, then how about requiring them to first having a military background. If each of these officials had served a tour in a branch of active military service prior to their election, they would have a different outlook on the way things should be handled. I my am a disabled Veteran having served in the U.S. ARMY, as did my younger brother and my daughter, my grandfather was NAVY, and my cousins were NAVY & USMC, so the branch is not relevant.
I have said this before, and I repeat:
All living entities, plant or animal, have an instinct of self-preservation. In mankind, this is self-defense, and in our case, this requires some means of equalization of force, such as a firearm. There is not much more to mention!
