I recently posed the question on my Facebook page about the latest push by the Anti-Gun Left. The newest tactic that they are trying to push is to keep anyone who is on Americas “Terrorist Watch List” or “No Fly List” from being able to purchase a firearm. A few brave soles gave me their opinion and stated a reason why this is not only a bad idea, but some even had the knowledge as to why this is against the law. And as usual, not one single person who agreed with this tactic had enough balls to comment and/or give me their opinion. Which I completely expected.

Trey Gowdy is the U.S. Representative for South Carolina’s 4th congressional district. During an oversight committee meeting, he grilled a Department of Homeland Security Representative about the subject of Due Process on this matter. Here is the YouTube Link. Trey Gowdy Due Process.

Mr. Gowdy make a great point in this video. In order to be placed on the Terror Watch List or No Fly List, there is no Due Process afforded to an American citizen. If you are placed on this list, you must appeal the American Government to be removed from the list. If our government was to use these lists to keep American Citizens from purchasing a firearm, they would be denying said citizen of their Second Amendment Right without Due Process…This is against the law.

I know I harp on the Second Amendment A LOT. And I do this for good reason. The Second Amendment is the only constitutional right afforded to all Americans that is constantly under attack. Luckily for us we have some politicians that are as defensive as I am when it comes to our Basic Human Rights and our Constitutional Rights. Unfortunately these Constitutional Advocates are becoming fewer and fewer as time progresses.

I believe this is mostly in part to the push in our country that is demanding everyone to get a College Degree in order to be successful in life. And as we all know colleges are Liberal Factories. Pushing for Big Government, creating a population of drones that they can control. Hence the attack on the Second Amendment. This Right that the founding fathers gave us to protect ourselves against Government overreach. Our government will continue to attack the Second Amendment until they find a way to repeal or abolish it. It is a long term scheme to gain control over the population, and it is working.

I know, I know…It sounds like a conspiracy theory…and in some ways it is. I am of above average intelligence and I have lived and worked long enough to see through this smoke screen. People are afraid, most wont admit it, but they are. We are afraid to let our kids play outside unattended. We are afraid to say what we are thinking because we might offend someone or hurt their feelings. And thanks to the main stream media and the US Government we are deathly afraid of GUNS!

Here is a chart showing types of preventable causes of death in America.

See here…near the bottom of the list is Firearm deaths, and most of those are self inflicted suicide deaths. So why the big push for increased gun laws? Any sane logical person would look at this list and think, firearms are at the bottom of this list and are not as important as say tobacco deaths right? Why has our government not completely banned tobacco? They have done it with many other drugs, why not this one? I will tell you why. We need people to die, we need all of these people to die every year. Can you imagine trying to sustain a population if these people didn’t die? And of course TAXES…It is always about the MONEY!!

So call it a conspiracy theory, call it whatever you want. Logically speaking why else would the government be so hell bent to keep Americans from buying guns? Look back at my previous Gun Control postings. The biggest push now is to ban High Powered Assault Rifles and High Capacity Magazines…this is 100% “Feel Good” politics. It is a proven fact that very few people are killed every year because of these above mentioned, so called High Powered Assault Rifles. The government wants to ban them because they are the best tool in which to defend yourself against government overreach. There can be no other reason. If someone can prove my theory wrong, please do.

In closing I just want to encourage all of you that might read this to do your own research. By that I mean, don’t rely on mainstream media for your information about gun statistics, gun violence or gun deaths. Don’t rely on them for ANY truthful information. If you are anti-gun, take a step back out of your “Safe Place” for a while and read about them. Read the statistics. Go to a gun range and learn to use one. Teach your kids about proper handling and gun safety, stop sheltering them. You teach your kids how to use other tools, like knives for example. Everyone teaches their kid how to safely and properly use a knife…crazy thing is…more people are killed every year in the US with a knife then with one of those scary High Powered Assault Rifles. More gun control is not the solution, more gun knowledge is the solution.
