Here’s Your Pro-Gun Story!
The ‘Batman’ shooter, now identified as 24 year
old James Egan Holmes, brought a lot of grief and terror to people last night
at the opening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado. Armed with a rifle
and a pair of handguns, Holmes began shooting in the theater, killing at least
10 on site, including a six year old, and others dying later.
That wasn’t all, police
found that his apartment was booby trapped as
well.
At least 12 people are
dead from the incident and 59 others are wounded. We are already hearing cries
from the left claiming that Holmes was a Tea
Party extremist conservative, while others are calling for more gun
control.
Well this article here
is not about news, it’s about opinion. It is my opinion that had the people
within the theater been men and women who were armed as they entered, one of
three things would have happened: Holmes would have thought twice about pulling
a stunt like this, he would have been killed within seconds of starting his
shooting spree, or he would have never got off a shot as soon as he exposed his
weapons.
It doesn’t take a rocket
scientist to figure this out. People are made vulnerable by intrusive gun
control laws. The only gun control that is necessary is to be able to hit your
target.
The Second Amendment is
not to be messed with and yet state and federal government bureaucrats are
constantly writing new laws against the rights and freedoms guaranteed by our
Creator in the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment
states:
A well regulated
Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the
people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Webster’s 1828
dictionary defines the term ‘infringed’ as:
Broken; violated;
transgresses.
The right of people to
not only keep their arms, but to also bear them are rights that are not to be violated,
transgressed or broken. With every new asinine gun control law that is written
this is exactly what the government does. They leave in place the language of
the Second Amendment, while at the same time writing laws that violate the
Second Amendment and do you know what? It costs lives.
Liberals and some who
claim to be conservative support all sorts of measures regarding guns. They
think making laws will keep people safe. The only problem is that law abiding
citizens are the only ones keeping those laws. Criminals don’t care.
Furthermore, laws don’t stop people from committing crimes.
They are just words on paper that say declare where the line in the sand is and
criminals are more than willing to cross that line.
Why will conservatives
not stand up at this time and point to the tragedies like what happened today,
or the columbine shootings which took place not far from today’s tragedy and
declare, “People need firearms to protect themselves from criminals like this,
because a law doesn’t stop a criminal with a gun or many guns. The police don’t
stop a criminal with a gun, but those who would be victims can survive if they
are left to carry a weapon to defend themselves, their loved ones, strangers
and property.”
Why won’t they do it?
They are spineless, weak, limp-wristed sissys who are not upholding and
defending the Constitution, but rather are looking out for themselves.
While I express my
condolences to the families of all those who were lost today, much of this
tragedy could have been averted if government would not infringe upon the
rights of the people.
By the way, if you
didn’t catch it yesterday, Samuel Williams is a perfect example of what I’m talking about,
and even he had to obtain a concealed weapons permit in order to do what he
did.
