Gun Rights, the latest Civil Right Under Fire

Now that I've managed to regain access to my blog, I've posted another article after a two month absence not of my choosing.

Probably not one of my best pieces, but for some reason I just cant get "in the flow " tonite. I also found out from the host of " The Unsolicited Opinion " internet radio show that she'll be hosting me again for a one hour segment either this Sunday or next Sunday. I have a couple ideas for topics ( Gun Walker Scandal, Viper's Philly OC Debacle , The militarization of the police) that I have to go over with her before we settle on one, but I'll keep everyone updated as to air time.

While its certainly true that firearms rights and freedoms have seen an exponential increase over the last thirty years, its equally true that those rights have been hard won, having to constantly push back against a tsunami of deliberate misrepresentations and out right lies foisted on an uneducated public by various gun control groups, aided and abetted by their ideological puppetmasters in the mainstream media.

These anti freedom demagogues have NO moral or ethical constraints to restrain them from their malicious malfeasance, so it's left to the true grassroots individuals and assorted groups on the side of freedom to take up the task of informing the public of the facts. The 2008 Supreme Ct Case Heller v DC is just one recent example. The anti gun zealots insisted to anyone that would listen up to, during, after and even today, nearly three years after the ruling; that this case was the first time the Supreme Ct ruled in such a way.

This is bald faced LIE and is something that can easily be proven as such with a simple five minute Google or Amazon search for a book titled " Supreme Court Gun Cases" which covers two centuries and ninety two separate cases where the Supreme Court addressed the issue of the Second Amendment and firearms ownership and use as an individual and protected right.

The more recent case of Chicago v McDonald, affirming that the Second Amendment was a protected individual right, binding against the States via the Fourteenth Amendment, should have been the final nail in the coffin for the gun banners, yet the various groups, anti gun politicians and their enablers in the media have obstinately persisted in their efforts to do everything within their power to actively work to deny this fundamental civil right to as many people as possible, in every way they can conceive, with some of the most twisted logic and absurd reasoning ever voiced or put to paper.

Sadly, this is not the first time in our Country's history we have born witness to this type of despicable and despotic behavior before and should easily recognize it. We saw it with the enactment of the Sullivan Law in NY, designed solely to deprive recent immigrants their American Civil Right to firearms, because they were viewed as a threat to the " establishment " and slandered in the most vicious manner imaginable.

We saw this repeated again with the Civil Rights movement and again with the anti gay rhetoric during the 80's. Anti Firearms ownership, use, and carry is just the latest iteration of a decades old dogma, one that you would think the majority of the population would have learned by now to dismiss for what it is, a baseless, bigoted, immoral and ethically bankrupt mindset.

During the Civil Rights Era, many people, citizens and politicians alike excoriated Rosa Parks for daring to stand up for her self and the rights of all African Americans by challenging the status quo. She and many, many others endured vicious verbal attacks, physical attacks, threats and the worst of human behavior at the hands of her fellow citizens, as did homosexuals when they first gained the courage to "come out of the closet".

Pro Freedom, Pro Firearms patriots of every color, creed, race, socio economic level, and sexual orientation now find themselves enduring the same despicable behavior. I find it disturbing that the people that claim the loudest to be the most open minded and inclusive are the same people that yell the loudest about how backward, un enlightened, uneducated and dangerous firearms owners are and how they deserve to be shunned, shamed and viciously attacked for nothing more then daring to uphold the ideals of the Founding Fathers and the desire to embrace their freedom and civil rights and have the ability to defend their lives and the lives of their loved ones from criminal predators that our justice system has shown time and again to be unable or unwilling to deal with in any meaningful or effective manner.

I agree with you 110 % that the major media has been terrible and deliberately ignoring the Gunwalker Scandal, with the notable exception of CBS News and Fox News, although it seems like the rest are finding it to big to intentionally ignore for much longer as more and more details come out that point directly to King Hussein's doorstep. That being said, Im leaning towards Marks Philly OC case simply cause its a much more locally focused event and the show comes out of Bucks County. Im a fairly regular guest on the show, so Im sure whichever topics are passed over this time will be addressed on a future appearance.

The problem is that it didn't start recently, it started all the way back in 1911 or 1879. The anti gun political complex snuck up on us because to the average gun owner it was always about someone else, EXACTLY like the often quoted poem about the Germans:

First they came for the blacks, then the Italians in NYC, then the Chinese and Mexicans (CA in 1924), then NFA guns, then blacks again...

It's only within the last 10-20 years or so that people have FINALLY woken up and said "Hey wait a minute!" after letting the other side get a 130 year head start and only in the last 5-10 that our side got smart enough to start arguing it's about civil rights and not just an expensive obscure hobby on weekends 2 months out of the year.

good article man. I did not know that the SCOTUS has heard as many gun cases as your article says.

one thing I'd critique is to stay consistent with your grammar. in your first paragraph, you typed "its" twice without an apostrophe after the "t" while typing it correctly in the second paragraph.

Yea, I know I need an editor :o Like I said, for whatever reason I was not in my best form last night, but after being locked out of access to my blog for two months because of a Google screw up I felt compelled to throw something together and get it published, so it was sort of a rush job, not that that's an excuse
