\u201cThe left is not in an all-out war against the Second Amendment,\u201d say the people on the left who are in an all-out war against the right to keep and bear arms. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to take away all the guns. We understand you think this way, but it\u2019s based upon a deception.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, it\u2019s not. Read what retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens was granted space in\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0to say.\u00a0Repeal the Second Amendment<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Did democrats and the left attack him for this? No, they cheered. They paid for space to say it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Socialists, politely called the left, are seeking to coalesce power into government hands. It\u2019s what socialists have done since the communist manifesto was published. And they lie. They want all the guns. It\u2019s the bottom line of the current debate, taken to its plain conclusion. Now they\u2019ve got kids doing their bidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is precisely why Americans are armed — to resist this, with force, if necessary. Unfortunately, Americans have become so wealthy and comfortable, the cold-dead-fingers motto has become just a slogan, no longer a policy. The NRA needs to wise up to this. So do you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The left is unconscionably promoting children who have taken up their cause in complete ignorance of facts. The kids\u2019 fears are real all right. Their desire for a solution to mass-murdering psychos and jihadis is real enough. Everyone<\/em> shares their desire for a solution to that. Stop their psychotically lethal classmates, they cry. Their emotions are enormously real, and motivational and contagious. The left is banking on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is not real are the facts, logic, and reasoning the kids are using, adopted in whole cloth from their left-wing puppeteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same tired old rhetoric, which has been proven false<\/em> time and again, the left has been spouting for decades<\/em> — ever since the feckless Brady bill appeared and is now reappearing in new forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You remember:<\/strong>
— blood in the streets from carry permits!
— invisible guns!
— armed pilots shooting down their own planes!
— 30-day cooling-off periods for abusers, now trusted with guns for 30 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sit down for it:<\/strong>
— educators (formerly teachers) will shoot themselves!
— and their students!
— and drop their guns
— which will go off!
— and forget them in bathrooms for kids to find!
— and shoot each other because they know nothing!
— And cops will shoot matronly old armed teachers
— because they can\u2019t distinguish them from armed psychotic kids with ARs!
— if only they had to go through better background checks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are these incompetent gunless boobs we\u2019re paying to educate our kids? Teachers are incapable of handling firearms — or even teaching about them in a historical context? Toothless NRA gun bubbas can handle firearms but teachers can\u2019t? Say what? Who starts these rumors? How do these people get dressed each day without help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The abject stupidity of the arguments — with grade schoolers as ambassadors of irrational policy — is plainly evident by questions the media has avoided asking, and answers the children and their adult instigators obviously couldn\u2019t answer if asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lack of curiosity points out the poverty of leftist positions the kids are carrying for mind masters, the lack of grounding, and the dangerous, freedom-choking socialist stench that is a death knell for\u00a0The American Way.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That may be a big hoorah for socialism, but it is not what America needs. God help us if a band of activated kids whines, nags and cajoles adults in Congress to placate them with reckless bills from which we may never be able to extricate ourselves. A few youngsters and malfeasants in Congress are especially sympathetic to the ignorant whining and thus extra dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not gimme-a-dollar-for-an-ice-cream ma, to a kid who is already packing too many pounds. This is a wild kid with no focus who\u2019s demanding keys to dad\u2019s \u2019Vette and broke into the liquor cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
