‘Protecting Kids’ More Important than 2A Rights?

in News

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Colion Noir recently commented on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, where Walz suggested a stark rural-urban divide in attitudes toward gun ownership.

Walz argued that rural gun culture, which emphasizes hunting and sport, differs significantly from urban areas where gun violence, especially in schools, is a major concern. He advocated for measures like red flag laws, extreme risk protection orders, and restrictions on certain firearms to protect children.

Noir countered that the Second Amendment remains unchanged regardless of a person’s location. He argued that this approach to “divide” gun rights according to geography masks an effort to diminish 1A protections by suggesting rural America only needs hunting rifles.

Noir explained that portraying semi-automatic rifles as irrelevant in rural settings allows policymakers to chip away at gun rights without explicit bans, especially targeting modern sporting rifles (ARs).

Noir also highlighted data from the FBI and CDC to underscore that semi-automatic rifles are rarely used in mass shootings compared to handguns and are vital for self-defense.

According to Noir, defensive gun use by law-abiding citizens occurs hundreds of thousands to millions of times annually, often involving semi-automatic rifles, which many Americans rely on for home defense.

Noir accused anti-gun politicians of trying to sway traditional gun owners, sometimes called “fudds,” who favor classic firearms, to support restrictions on modern weapons.

He argued this strategy subtly divides the gun rights community, creating a distinction between “acceptable” hunting firearms and “unnecessary” tactical guns. Noir believes this could lead traditionalists to support limited gun control policies, undermining the Second Amendment.

In closing, Noir urged a “real conversation” about safety without sacrificing constitutional rights, calling on Walz and Stewart to avoid divisive rhetoric.

“At the end of the day, we all want safer communities and schools; no one is arguing against that,” Noir explained. “But we need to have a real conversation that respects constitutional rights and tackles the actual issues like enforcing existing laws, addressing mental health, and improving security measures in our schools.”

    who is always the top killer of a nation’s citizens? is it the nut jobs, criminals, or their own governments? Don’t take my word for it. Look up how many of their own citizens have been killed by their own government who disagreed with said government. So, take away citizens weaponry to make them totally subservient to government. That has worked well for Communist China, Russia, Germany. Disagree with government too strongly and there is a knock on your door, or it is just broken down. Look up how many governments took children away from parents to educate and bring them up according to current government ideas. Protecting children from their parents bringing them up. That’s what follows after disarming its citizenry. They are no longer citizens but have been reduced to slaves of the current government. “Do what we say or you will be put in prison or disappear.

    All that rhetoric regarding saving kids is just a smokescreen to cover pedophilic urges of those who use government agencies to take kids away from their parents.
    Recently I listened to interview where the lady stated that over 80% of children found in child trafficking raids were those lost to child protecting agencies.

    Dems don’t care about “protecting kids” until after those ‘globs of cells’ make through the Roe v Wade salmon run.
