"Alinsky's tactics aren&...Well said, Van!<br /><br />"Alinsky's tactics aren't so much a brilliant method for opposing principles - they are simply a confession of their inability to comprehend them in the first place."<br /><br />Precisely! Brilliantly put, Van!<br /><br />And it's not just with guns. If they achieve gun "control" (depriving law abiding citizens of their right to defend themselves) they will next seek knife control. <br />And virtually anything that has been used as a weapon.<br /><br />They never stop eroding our rights away. Never. <br />And we must never stop standing up for our rights and liberties or they will be taken away.<br /><br />Conservatives, first and foremost, must understand why we need our rights, and what they are: Essential liberties, as Ben Franklin described them.<br /><br />Essential. 'Cause without 'em, we ain't free and are forced to depend on the State for everything.<br />And become targets for criminals and sleazy politicians (but I repeat myself).<br /><br />Many conservatives simply don't fully understand our Constitution and Bill Of Rights.<br />Or even have a basic foundation for their beliefs and principles.<br /><br />So when things like this come up they don't stand firmly for their rights let alone know enough to clearly explain what they are and why they are so important.<br /><br />Of course, this is a result of public "education," and pop culture and the mostly left wing MSM.<br /><br />Thankfully, the left doesn't have the stranglehold and monopoly on reporting the news like they used to, and can't get away with their leftist lies, ommissions distortions and propaganda.<br /><br />Breitbart and many others have helped conservatives immensely in this regard and it's good news.<br /><br />But we still need to make more inroads on education. <br />We must push hard for school vouchers and school choice, and if Romney wins this may be our last chance to do so.<br /><br />Because we need more conservatives...classical liberals who are actually educated and know without a doubt what their rights are and why they are crucial to the survival of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.<br /><br />We must not frame our responses in the narrative the lefties use.<br />We must frame our responses in reality and truth.<br /><br />"Why do you want to deprive law abiding Americans of their right to defend themselves Senator?"<br /><br />It's idiotic to get into the particulars Feinstein and O'Reilly are afraid of, except to show how little they know.<br /><br />An AK-47 is not a heavy rifle. It's also not sold to civilians as a fully automatic machine gun. <br />The ammo is also not heavy duty.<br /><br />It's already illegal to purchase or sell bazookas, howitzers and machine guns.<br /><br />When was the last time machine guns were used in a crime? The 20's and 30's? <br /><br />The murderer at Aurora didn't have 100 bullet clips.<br />The murderer at VA Texh only had handguns and he murdered more people in another gun free zone with an "assault" weapon or 100 round clips.<br /><br />After making these idjits look like the fools they are a classical liberal can then go to The narrative: Rights and liberty.<br /><br />People really do respond well when this is clearly stated. That's of the resons Reagan was so well liked.<br /><br />Regardless, the point is no one has the authority or the right to take away our right to bear arms.

It's ignorance, although his heart is probably in the right place. <br /><br />What amazes me is the unwillingness to accept that criminals don't give a rodent's fanny about laws. Regulations, permits and safety mean nothing, which means the only restrictions fall upon law abiding citizens, who have the most to lose. Even if possessing a firearm was a capital offense, criminals would still acquire, and use them at will. In their line of work, all mistakes are capital offenses and there isn't a judge and jury to determine mercy.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969361446367636746noreply@blogger.com
