Repeal and Silence - The Gun Control Agenda

Julie Golob recently wrote a telling piece on the gun control issues we are facing. She was kind enough to allow us to post the great piece. Enjoy.

It has been a challenging few weeks for those who support the Second Amendment. Backed by gun control organizations and covered by the media, many took to the streets and stood behind the mic in protest on Saturday. Their message? To a lawful gun owner, it was scattered yet direct:

For every person who said ‘We want “common sense gun reform,” you got somebody else who said ‘it’s time to repeal the Second Amendment.’ The actual message is a bit confused, other than ‘We don’t like guns and we don’t like gun owners.'” Source: Commentary: Could #MarchForOurLives be a setback for gun control?

Mixed in with chants of “Hey, Hey, NRA—How many kids did you kill today?” and signage such as “NRA = Murder” and “The NRA Supports Terrorists,” the sentiment that innocent American citizens are to blame was

loud and clear. If you don’t support March for Our Lives, you are “on notice.” The thoughts, prayers, and kindness most often associated with healing are not welcome, as exploited emotions fester, infected by willful ignorance and attention from anti-gun celebrities with their armed bodyguards.

You may have seen my recent article in America’s 1st Freedom. “Gun Ownership Up, Accidental Shootings Fall” addresses how firearm ownership has risen to an all-time high while accidental shooting deaths have fallen 48% since 1999. With millions of guns and gun owners in America, we are working on education, not ineffective laws, to prevent accidents, theft, and death.

When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile,” Delaney Tarr.

Now we face a whole new challenge. From this most recent movement, we have finally seen the truth. It isn’t just a mobilized effort to remove our rights with extreme calls to repeal the Second Amendment, but an attempt to silence us as well.

As I wrote in 1st Freedom, “the success our gun community has with connecting one gun owner to another might be ignored, but it cannot be denied. We don’t rely on “personal” truths, but the real truth based on facts and statistics. As social media begins to regulate the gun owner, we need to find ways to keep connecting. We must be willing to keep the conversation going by sharing facts and experiences—not for mere social acceptance but to maintain our way of life.”
