With their <\/em>hearts they turned to each other’s heart for refuge \/ In the troubled years that came before the deluge — Jackson Browne, “Before the Deluge\u00a0<\/a>“<\/em><\/p>\n

While the battle over gun control in this country has always burned hot, it\u2019s about to reach surface-of-the-sun-level proportions. The 2016 presidential election is huge! The next POTUS will not only use the bully pulpit to set the tone as to how the Executive Branch views the Second Amendment but he or she will also change the composition of the Supreme Court by presumably selecting the Justice to replace the recently deceased Antonin Scalia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s Trump who declares victory come November, well, gun owners will breathe a collective sigh of relief as The Don has told the gun community, \u201cI won\u2019t let you down<\/a>\u201d and promised to appoint a relatively conservative and pro-gun Supreme Court Justice, which means the balance of the court will remain a 5-4 majority in favor of gun rights. If it\u2019s Hillary who wins this fall, then we\u2019re in trouble. Deep trouble.<\/p>\n

At the 2016 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, this point was not lost on the organization\u2019s leadership. Chris Cox, the NRA-ILA executive director, made it abundantly clear that the stakes are higher than they\u2019ve ever been.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s that simple and that clear \u2014 the next president chooses the fifth justice, so the Second Amendment is on the ballot in November,\u201d declared Cox. \u201cThe end of our freedom really is that close and Hillary Clinton knows it. If she wins the presidency, she will use every tool at her disposal to destroy what we believe in.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Cox fears, what the vast majority of gun owners fear, is that with a left-leaning, Hillary Clinton appointee on the bench the landmark Heller<\/em> decision<\/a> \u2014 which affirmed that the Second Amendment is an individual right, not connected to militia service \u2014 will be on the chopping block. As Hillary has said with respect to Heller, \u201cThe Supreme Court got it wrong on the Second Amendment.”<\/p>\n

If Heller is overturned or changed by a 5-4 anti-gun majority, that would mark the beginning of the end of the Second Amendment. Cox broke it down in his speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s what will happen if she\u2019s elected. She\u2019ll put a radical, anti-gun activist in Scalia\u2019s seat as soon as she can. The gun-control groups will take a Second Amendment case to the Supreme Court, where five justices will overturn what millions of Americans have fought and died to defend \u2014 the basic human right of self-defense,\u201d explained Cox.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as soon as the ruling clears, states like California, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will ban the manufacture and ownership of entire classes of firearms overnight,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery gun store in those states will be out of business. Every gun range, shuttered. Hundreds of thousands of people in the firearms business will lose their jobs. And as bad as that sounds, it\u2019s just the beginning. It ends with no right to own a gun in your own home, anywhere in America, period,\u201d concluded Cox.<\/p>\n

SEE ALSO:\u00a0What Hillary Clinton Can Actually Do To Take Your Guns<\/a><\/h2>\n

While one may dismiss Cox\u2019s assessment as being overly cynical, it\u2019s actually not out of the realm of possibility. In her stump speeches around the country, Clinton never acknowledges that the 2A is at its core a right to (a) defend against government tyranny and (b) protect one\u2019s natural right to self-defense. From her perspective, the Second Amendment is a European-style privilege concerned with protecting sportsmen, hobbyists, and collectors.<\/p>\n

As she said in a speech in Dunmore last month<\/a>, “I know how important gun ownership, and particularly hunting, is here in northeastern Pennsylvania,” noting that “responsible gun owners\u201d have to support her anti-gun agenda by acknowledging, \u201c\u2019This has nothing to do with my guns, my hunting, my sport shooting, my collecting.'”<\/p>\n

By insinuating the 2A is about hunting deer and shooting clays and collecting heirlooms \u2014 and not about self-defense and keeping tyrannical governments in check \u2014 Clinton is paving the way for a paradigmatic shift in the way the courts and the public view the Second Amendment. Instead of seeing it as a right necessary for the security of a free state, Clinton intends for us to view gun ownership as a hobby with no other deeper purpose than its recreational associations. Basically, just like they do in most of Europe and Australia \u2014 where guns are largely banned and concealed carry rights are nonexistent.<\/p>\n

So, as Mr. Cox said in his speech, the time to come together and fight is now!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re here, anyway. Because you feel the fierce urgency American patriots have always felt: either we put the burden of saving this country on our backs right here, right now \u2014 or we lose it forever,\u201d exclaimed Cox.<\/p>\n

\u201cFolks, it\u2019s time to fight like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah\u2019s Ark. And if you\u2019re ready to do that, you\u2019re in good company,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

All I can say is that if the Hillary deluge comes, hopefully, gun owners don\u2019t end up like that third monkey. We all know what happened to that third monkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
