\u201cGun lady\u201d Dana Loesch recently appeared on \u201cThe Rubin Report\u201d and made some compelling arguments that exposed the hypocrisy of the anti-gun community. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A lot of people think they are anti-gun, but they’re really not. They are anti-you-having a gun,” Dana told BlazeTV host Dave Rubin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I always tell people, if you’re anti-gun, you shouldn’t believe in calling the police to come with their guns … you shouldn’t hire private security if you’re anti-gun … If we’re to have discussion about legitimate class warfare, I would think the idea that only people wealthy enough to hire private security to protect them, that’s incredibly classist,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think there\u2019s definitely something to be said for that mentality.  But I think it goes a little deeper.  And Loesch alluded to it.  Fundamentally, gun control advocates support infringing 2A rights because they are either (a) afraid of guns or (b) too inept to train to competently handle firearms or (c) some combination of (a) and (b).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what happens is that because these fearful incompetents can\u2019t defend themselves they have to outsource their personal protection to someone else.  If they got money, like Michael Bloomberg, they hire private security.  If they don\u2019t, they rely on the government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They want us to do the same because as close-minded fearful incompetents they believe that like them we are also fearful incompetents who cannot possibly learn how to safely and responsibly keep and bear arms for traditionally lawful purposes like self-defense inside and outside the home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their minds, gun ownership is a privilege reserved for a certain class, mainly \u201cauthority\u201d figures like cops, armed guards, soldiers, and government agents (It’s part of the reason why they mistakenly interpret the 2A as a collective right <\/a>as opposed to an individual one).\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common citizen cannot be trusted to own guns because deep down they don\u2019t trust themselves to own guns.  As Loesch observes, their cowardice is projected onto us.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What results from this mentality are laws that purportedly seek to reduce crime but effectively disarm law-abiding citizens.  Perfect example is the ban on so-called \u201cassault weapons.\u201d  Policy wonks at government institutions in both the U.S. and Canada have admitted<\/a> that prohibitions on certain classes of firearms do not reduce crime!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, Canada just recently enacted a sweeping ban <\/a>on many popular semiautomatic rifles and, if given the chance, presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden would do the same.  From JoeBiden.com<\/a>, “As president, Biden will”: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
