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."

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
