Imagine a nightmare. Barack H. Obama is President of the United States with a 60 vote supermajority in the U.S. Senate that can override any filibuster. The Democrats control the U.S. House of Representatives and most state legislatures.
The “Fairness Doctrine” kills conservative talk radio and mandates “diverse” local radio stations run by left-wing women and minorities, who are more “sensitive” to the local needs of the people. Left-wing 527’s pour millions into Democrat political campaigns. Public employee unions, like those introduced into Colorado by Governor Bill Ritter, create armies of block workers for the Democrat Machine. The Brady Campaign, the Violence Policy Center, the Joyce Foundation, the Tides Foundation, Move on, and all the other “progressive” organizations call in their markers for their support of the Democrat Party.
Proposals arise for restrictive licensing of firearms. Semi-automatics are considered to be “unusual and dangerous weapons” outside the protection of the recent Heller Supreme Court Decision. Telescopic sights are banned. A federal mandantory ”microstamping” law is passed affecting cartridges for any weapons not considered “unusual and dangerous.” “Suspected terrorists” are named as “prohibited persons” with regard to gun ownership. Shooting ranges are closed down en masse, because of noise and lead pollution. National forests are closed to hunting and shooting.
Concealed carry of firearms is ”regulated” out of existence. Gun shows are shut down by requirements to register every single participant who comes through the door. All private sales are banned. Gun registration fees are raised to $1,000 per year, per gun, and must be renewed annually. Anti-gun researchers are given tens of millions of dollars in grants to find that guns are a public health epidemic. requiring more “control.” TV news programs, dramas and sitcoms continue to portray gun owners as “bitter,” toothless rednecks. Your liberal neighbors report you to the police, because they saw you take a cased rifle out to your car. The kids in the neighborhood are forbidden to play with your children, because they let slip that you have guns in the house. The couple next door acts like you have rabies.
The police pull you over at least once a month. Your boss at work starts asking questions about your mental stability and suggests that you talk to a counselor, “…just to be sure you don’t have any anger issues. You don’t have a gun in your car in the company parking lot, do you?”
Think this situation could never happen? Google the above listed liberal organizations and check out their perceptions and their wish lists. Liberals look at the Heller decision as an unfortunate bump in the road on their way to ultimate “gun safety” and “control” of the “firearms epidemic.”
Now for the key question. Imagine that you stayed home, failed to vote your individual right to self-defense, or voted for a third party candidate with no chance to win in November. How are you going to feel living in the People’s Republic of North America?
Wake up! The nightmare hasn’t happened yet. There is still time to campaign and vote for ELECTABLE candidates that you can possibly influence to protect your rights e.g., John McCain and other Republicans.
The Liberals think that gun owners are too stupid to own a gun without hurting themselves or someone else. Please don’t add fuel to their argument by throwing away your vote.
