<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we go again\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, it was Joshua Horwitz from the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence who was blaming gun owners for the occupation <\/a>at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.  Now, this week, it\u2019s The Atlantic<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an article titled, \u201cThe Gun-Rights Movement Fed America\u2019s Insurrectionist Fever Dreams<\/a>,\u201d philosophy professor Firmin DeBrabander argues that in light of recent events a widespread curtailment of 2A rights is necessary to preserve the Republic.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year has revealed all too well what insurrectionist fever dreams bring: In the spring, they delivered mobs who occupied state capitols and threatened legislators; in the summer, they led to dead protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Portland, Oregon; now they have wrought death and destruction in Congress,\u201d wrote DeBrabander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe gun-rights movement deserves a reckoning for this,\u201d he continued. \u201cOur leaders should do everything in their power to enact laws that ensure peaceful protest. We must ban assault rifles and open carry. Their legality is premised on ideas that are inimical to democracy itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, the gun-rights movement is not a monolith.  It\u2019s as diverse as America itself.  And, while this isn\u2019t a shocker to those of us who actually frequent a gun range, it consists of many of those \u201coppressed\u201d and \u201cmarginalized\u201d<\/a> groups the Left claims it\u2019s so worried about.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If DeBrabander doesn\u2019t believe it, he should do a little research on groups like the Pink Pistols<\/a>, an LGBTQ gun-rights group, or NAAGA<\/a>, the National African American Gun Association, or JPFO,<\/a> Jews for Preservation of Firearms Ownership.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What he\u2019d realize is that one\u2019s right to keep and bear arms is not a fringe political issue that only concerns straight, white males on the far-Right, rather it is a mainstream idea that is celebrated by millions of Americans from all walks of life.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put things in perspective, more than 21 million citizens purchased<\/a> a firearm last year.  That\u2019s about 8 percent of the adult population.  Many bought a gun, around 8.4 million Americans, for the first time in their lives. Forty percent of those new gun buyers were women, and African Americans bought guns at a rate 58% greater in 2020 than in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As survey data indicates<\/a>, these folks didn\u2019t buy guns because they wanted to foment an insurrection or because they\u2019re an acolyte of some crazy Internet conspiracy.  They mostly bought guns because once-trusted institutions are failing us.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between COVID protocols that force law enforcement to catch and release hardened criminals<\/a> to the unchecked rioters and looters of the George Floyd protests, it became clear to many Americans that one\u2019s safety is ultimately a personal responsibility.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government, despite what Nannystaters would have people believe, is not equipped to protect citizens, especially during a crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeBrabander\u2019s scapegoating of the gun community for last week\u2019s attack on the Capitol, therefore, doesn\u2019t hold water because it wasn\u2019t a broad coalition of 2A supporters that raided, looted, and vandalized the grounds.  It was something else altogether: a mixture of cosplay weirdos, Neo-nazis, and motley rabble-rousers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, if we are to believe House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the driving force behind the decision to break through the barriers and storm the Capitol was the work of a coordinated group of agitators. The chaos wasn’t precipitated by run-of-the-mill Trump supporters.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Times Opinion: I\u2019m a Black American. I Need a Gun to Feel Safe in This Country<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe evidence is now that– that it was a well-planned, organized group with leadership and guidance and direction,\u201d Pelosi told 60 Minutes<\/em> in a Sunday interview<\/a>.  \u201cAnd the direction was to go get people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who planned it?  Who led it?  Who participated in it?  And, who paid for it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those are questions we hopefully get answered, soon.  Responsible parties should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.  We all agree on that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in the meantime, people like DeBrabander and Horwitz need to stop politicizing this event.  They need to stop using it as a way to blame the modern gun-rights movement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cannot, as they seek to do, chill the 2A rights of all law-abiding citizens for the criminal acts of a reckless few. \u00a0 Because, as we\u2019re fond of saying on GunsAmerica, disarming good people (poor blacks, single mothers, trans folk, etc.) does not make bad people (violent criminals, gangsters, professional agitators, etc.) less dangerous. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
