Nothing more to give

With all of this crazy political grandstanding and the constant argument why American's shouldn't own AR-15's and "High Capacity" magazines, I have found myself getting wound up and sometimes angry at what we are seeing happen right before our very eyes. Nearly every day I read multiple articles declaring the AR-15 as this scary killing machine capable of committing these horrendous atrocities in our society, and how no civilian should have access to these weapons of war and high capacity killing machines. Now correct me if I am wrong but aren't all guns made to be lethal? I am pretty sure that they weren't just made to go out and shoot soda cans.

We have all of these Gun Control Advocates out there who have more political clout than they should have ever been given, and many of them say that they are for the Second Amendment but there is no need for everyday civilians to have access to weapons of war. So in their opinions they basically strip the Second Amendment down to the right to hunt, and possibly the right to own a handgun for self defense (although there are more extreme views that believe there shouldn't even be an allowance for handguns). There have been many articles that I have read where the anti-gun promoters and writers have called Gun Right Advocates ignorant, and there have been other times where I have seen a person call for the death of all NRA members (by a gun), yet nothing seems to happen to these people that have basically threatened the lives of others.

Yet every time someone writes an article that is Pro Second Amendment they are quickly berated or brushed off as being racist, extremist, or a loon. Take Mr Colion Noir for example, as soon as it was released that he would be working with the NRA the anti gun side quickly jumped onto the racist band wagon, trying to make it seem like the NRA was using a black man to get their point across. However that is anything but the truth, as a subscriber to his channel for well over a year now I can easily say that the views that he has put forth are his own.

There have been attempts to call those who believe that the Bill of Rights are inalienable rights "Absolutests", as if believing that the rights that are given to us are absolutely non-negotiable is a bad thing. We are constantly being asked to be bi-partisan and work with the Antigunners, to make some compromises so that "everyone" can be happy, but these "compromises" have always lead to more control and completely partisan on the Antigunners side.

Today I read an article on Monderno that was written by Dean from 2 Vets Arms, and it was about how there is no room for compromise when it comes to our gun rights. There have already been plenty of times in our history that gun owners have given a little only to lose a lot more. Yet where we are standing now is what I would consider to be a cliff, one that if we step off of there will be no coming back, there will be no "sunset" clauses that will allow a ban to lapse. No the Antigunners learned their lesson on that one last time, and this time they want to make it permanent.

We as gun owners have nothing left to give, there is no room to compromise on the rights that we have had bestowed upon us by God and the Bill of Rights, now is not the time to sit back and watch as history repeats itself like it has done so many times before, it is time that the line is drawn in the sand, no compromise is worth what we end up losing. I urge you to keep writing you legislators and make our voices heard, and if they go against what they have taken an oath to do vote them out the next time they are up for reelection.
