It Will Never Be Enough

by Darren LaSorte

(America’s First Freedom) – If you believe you will ever hear gun control zealots the likes of Michael Bloomberg, Shannon Watts, Dan Gross, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer declare that they’ve secured “just the right amount” of gun control, I’ve got a Barrett M82A1 for sale that can be shot off-hand as easily as a Red Ryder. Never be mistaken. They want it all—everything!

It seems as if too many relatively informed people—even gun owners—don’t understand this. All too often, they tell me gun rights supporters need to surrender this issue or that issue to show that we are “reasonable.” No, we don’t. We are the reasonable and logical ones here. It’s the other side that is driven by raw emotion used to justify their routine dishonesty. Who is telling them they should be “reasonable”? If some liberty is surrendered to them, there will only be less of it to defend when the next, inevitable wave of attacks comes.

Some will call me Chicken Little. That’s fine. They can deny reality if they choose. These are the same people who spent most of Obama’s first term telling me that the NRA was misleading voters when it accused him of being one of the most anti-gun presidential candidates in U.S. history. Yeah, right. His second term freed him from the fear of direct political consequences, so he has been more than happy to prove that NRA was right once again. Thank you for putting an end to the argument, Mr. President.

Fact is, I’ve dedicated much of my life to ensuring these maniacs never have the opportunity to vindicate my claim that they won’t rest until every firearm in civilian hands is an illegal one. Making them fail is my passion. I usually feel a twinge of pity when I see people lose, but it’s easy not to feel bad for those who want to strip me and other Americans of the most essential individual freedoms. What they do is shameful, but how they do it might be worse.

Dishonesty is the name of the game for them. They simply do not care about the truth, and the media enables them by not viewing what they say and do with a critical eye. One needs to look no further than the names of their organizations.

Mike Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns is a prime example. Illegal guns? What do illegal guns have to do with legislation that requires jurisdictions around the country to treat my concealed handgun license with the same respect they do my driver’s license? What does campus carry, restaurant carry, grocery store carry, open carry or any kind of carry by someone who is not a prohibited possessor of firearms have to do with “illegal” guns? Why do they want all big-box stores to stop selling guns when all of the guns being sold are “legal” by definition?

There’s more.  It’s good.

The last paragraph:

It never ends. They will never be satisfied. Despite their talk about this gun or that gun being okay for civilians to own for now, they want everything. Because of the evil that will always exist, they will always have “just one more life” to “save.” We must never give ground. Our liberties came at too great a cost. We must treat every battle for gun rights like it might be our last. If we don’t, one day it might be.
