The Left's Gun Obsession

The Left wants your guns, and won't take no for an answer.

The Left's Gun Obsession
thedailybeast

In light of the heightened number of recent shootings and mass killings, the Left's outcry for the ban of guns has only grown stronger. Many of them demand gun reform, but only politically. If you study and watch closely they don't actually want to do anything about gun reform, because every mass killing and shooting fits perfectly into their narrative. They want these things to happen so they can get to their ultimate goal, which is total control of your life.

No, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I'm also not close-minded. In the late 1700s, there was this little thing you might have heard of; it's called the American Revolution. It was the final breaking point, the final war against a tyrannical government trying to run every person's lives whether they liked it or not. I am not naive enough to think that a tyrannical government will never rise again.

One of my favorite professors often states, "History never repeats, but it often rhymes." This statement rings more true every day of our lives. We're seeing parallels drawn to the past in different forms of atrocities. Abortion is our holocaust, racial tensions are our civil war, the call to ban guns is our fight with England. We're fighting against a tyrannical government that wants to run us. Something is often misunderstood, and it's that the Left actually doesn't care about the things that happen unless it benefits them. They cry that if the shooter in Orlando wouldn't have had an assault weapon he wouldn't have killed so many people. They say it's the gun's fault. The statement that he might not have killed so many people may or may not be true, but let's not forget something else. Criminals will get guns whether or not they are banned; that is why they are criminals. The terrorist in Orlando was on an FBI watch list for years and was still able to buy a weapon, which means the only way to efficiently stop these shootings are to ban weapons outright. They scream loudly at this issue but change when a racist kid in South Carolina goes into a church and shoots African-Americans in their place of worship. The tone changes: outlaw the rebel flag, it caused this, he's racist, he's a bigot.

The fight against the guns is quiet, because they know if they can cause more chaos it works perfectly for them. One question I've always asked is this, "If guns kill people, then why do the people get tried for murder, and not the guns?" I've seen even the best of people begin to fall into the trap that banning weapons is a good idea. They call for the banning of "assault weapons" even though those people are clueless as to what an assault weapon is (No, the AR in AR-15 doesn't stand for Assault Rifle). These people constantly insist it's the guns fault, even though a terrorist attack in France was just committed with a truck — not a weapon, a knife, a gun or a bomb--further proving a point that these attacks are about ideology, not about the weapon. So we've come to the crossroads in America. Are you going to let a tyranny run you, and take away the one thing they know is keeping you safe from their complete rule? As Dana Loesch says, "Hands off my gun."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
