Whenever I see a headline like this:
Thousands of gun control advocates are expected to rally Saturday in Washington, DC, and across the country in a nationwide “March for Our Lives” protest following the deadly mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
…what I would really like to see is a counter-protest of, say, ten million gun owners descending on Washington D.C. — no funny stuff, just an immense crowd of people holding hand-painted signs saying non-contentious things like “We Love Our Second Amendment”, “First And Second Amendments — Our Two Pillars of Freedom” and “Over 1 Million Violent Crimes Prevented Each Year By Law-Abiding Gun Owners”, etc., so that for once, the world can see the depth of our support for the Second Amendment.
But we don’t do that, do we? And by our silence, we give the stage to the gun-confiscators and -controllers, and the world says, “See? See? Even Americans want gun control!” when in fact we don’t.
And when some crackpot like Michael Moore thunders:
“Repeal the Second Amendment. Repeal the Second Amendment.”
…we just chuckle, because we know that such a thing would require a two thirds majority in both House and Senate, and a three-quarter majority of all the states — ergo, it ain’t gonna happen.
In the near future. But further down the road? You sure about that?
