F-15’s and Nukes
What I witnessed yesterday was a disgrace to the highest office in the land. The original quote that he tried to cite was originally from Thomas Jefferson back in 1787. It reads as follows: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” As a patriotic, red blooded American that understands the true cost our founding fathers paid to give us this gift of freedom. This quote has always resonated with me. Do I want violence? NO! Do I want to see people continue to die by firearm? NO! Are there things that we could do to make a difference? HECK YES!! Unfortunately handing over all of our firearms isn’t going to be the answer. Bipartisanship not partisanship is the only solution. The President remarked yesterday, “”If you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.” In one regard he stated the most important reason for us to keep our 2A rights all while reinforcing our founding fathers intent for the 2A. It is to protect the “citizens” from a tyrannical government. One could argue that we are at this very point. We have a government no longer of “We The People” and more like a dictatorship. We are locked down, ruled, and controlled in every aspect of our lives. The comments yesterday were reckless and out of touch. Biden said “If you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.”
What do we do though? Do we revolt? Not likely, we must get active with state and national organizations that best represent the values that we hold near and dear. Unfortunately the NRA is not an organization that I would recommend. They garner more controversy than provide any value to the gun rights movement. Currently the organizations that I recommend are the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, Gun Owners of America, and state level organizations. The organizations I mentioned above are in the trenches and doing the work. They have had some big wins in court recently and have made great strides. In all reality our best bet is to get bad legislation overturned at the supreme court level. There has been some big victories as of late and we need more! The gun control that the president wants to push is evil and inherently flawed. They have been pushing the same flawed notions since 1968. Has one law worked? NOPE! To be honest they don’t want them to work because they would lose a cause and a fundraising mechanism, period! The way I see it and I don’t think I am far off here, that there are so many failures or bad policies. The Biden administration needs a distraction. They want all focused on our guns that we aren’t focusing on the border crisis, the slowing economy, racism, and increased control on our everyday life.
This is our time to unite! We must come together and get on the same page to save our republic. Our cause is righteous, its our freedom. Our ability to live our ways the way we want, exercise our freedoms. We want our freedoms to survive for generations to come. They are in all reality, in jeopardy. One thing to think about, it is not MY responsibility to protect your rights. It is everyone’s responsibility to do their part. My advice, get involved, get motivated, and help in the fight. Until next time. Be safe!
