The Left's Gun Obsession

The Left wants your guns, and won't take no for an answer.

The Left's Gun Obsession
thedailybeast

In light of the heightened number of recent shootings and mass killings, the Left's outcry for the ban of guns has only grown stronger. Many of them demand gun reform, but only politically. If you study and watch closely they don't actually want to do anything about gun reform, because every mass killing and shooting fits perfectly into their narrative. They want these things to happen so they can get to their ultimate goal, which is total control of your life.

No, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I'm also not close-minded. In the late 1700s, there was this little thing you might have heard of; it's called the American Revolution. It was the final breaking point, the final war against a tyrannical government trying to run every person's lives whether they liked it or not. I am not naive enough to think that a tyrannical government will never rise again.

One of my favorite professors often states, "History never repeats, but it often rhymes." This statement rings more true every day of our lives. We're seeing parallels drawn to the past in different forms of atrocities. Abortion is our holocaust, racial tensions are our civil war, the call to ban guns is our fight with England. We're fighting against a tyrannical government that wants to run us. Something is often misunderstood, and it's that the Left actually doesn't care about the things that happen unless it benefits them. They cry that if the shooter in Orlando wouldn't have had an assault weapon he wouldn't have killed so many people. They say it's the gun's fault. The statement that he might not have killed so many people may or may not be true, but let's not forget something else. Criminals will get guns whether or not they are banned; that is why they are criminals. The terrorist in Orlando was on an FBI watch list for years and was still able to buy a weapon, which means the only way to efficiently stop these shootings are to ban weapons outright. They scream loudly at this issue but change when a racist kid in South Carolina goes into a church and shoots African-Americans in their place of worship. The tone changes: outlaw the rebel flag, it caused this, he's racist, he's a bigot.

The fight against the guns is quiet, because they know if they can cause more chaos it works perfectly for them. One question I've always asked is this, "If guns kill people, then why do the people get tried for murder, and not the guns?" I've seen even the best of people begin to fall into the trap that banning weapons is a good idea. They call for the banning of "assault weapons" even though those people are clueless as to what an assault weapon is (No, the AR in AR-15 doesn't stand for Assault Rifle). These people constantly insist it's the guns fault, even though a terrorist attack in France was just committed with a truck — not a weapon, a knife, a gun or a bomb--further proving a point that these attacks are about ideology, not about the weapon. So we've come to the crossroads in America. Are you going to let a tyranny run you, and take away the one thing they know is keeping you safe from their complete rule? As Dana Loesch says, "Hands off my gun."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
