“The Seven Personality Types that Make Up the Victim Disarmament Crowd”

[rev214]

An article by Gus Cotey, Jr. called "The Seven Varieties of Gun Control Advocate" can be read on the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership website.

The author goes into detail on these seven personality types:

• ELITISTS
• AUTHORITARIANS
• CRIMINALS
• THE FEARFUL
• IDEOLOGICAL CHAMELEONS
• SECURITY MONOPOLISTS
• THE DYSFUNCTIONALLY UNWORLDLY

He closes the article with these important thoughts:

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and it behooves all vigilant lovers of liberty to know and be able to recognize the various types of arms prohibitionists and understand their differing but equally dangerous motives. Acquiring knowledge of one's foes is the first step toward defeating them. We must never forget that a threat to private firearms ownership is a threat to all freedoms.

The inalienable and fundamental right to keep and bear arms which is enumerated by (but actually predates) the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is not about hunting, gun collecting, or target shooting. Its purpose is to insure that every responsible American personally possesses the means to defend the Republic from all forms of tyranny, within and without. It is what permits the other nine Amendments in the Bill of Rights to be more than mere hollow phrases on a piece of paper. Its free exercise is the antithesis of serfdom and the only meaningful form of holocaust insurance known to man.

We must never insult and degrade the spirits of our Founding Fathers by permitting the Second Amendment, the pillar of freedom, to be destroyed by the cold flame of legislative ink.
