The “Do Something” Dilemma

Since the horrible attack at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, one week ago, there has been a common refrain echoed everywhere. It’s a vague call “to do something.”  But as the saying goes, the devil is in the details. It is vitally important that we know and understand what that “something” is.

The United States government is essentially under the control of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. They run America. Is there anyone who does not fully understand that they would like to ban private gun ownership in America? Their socialist counterparts in Canada are taking a major leap in that direction.

Ironically, every policy the left pushes actually increases gun sales in America. 

The “social justice” riots of 2020 resulted in deaths, arsons and massive property damage. During it all, left-wing city governments told their police departments to stand down. Often the mayhem intentionally spread to suburban neighborhoods. Normal Americans saw all this and they went out and bought firearms.

Every day we see images on our TV screens of the raging crime wave sweeping our country, fueled by the revolving door of arrested and released criminals. This weekend alone, 13 people were killed in Philadelphia. In Chicago, 52 people were shot, ten killed. 

Every time Americans see those images, they’re more likely to buy a firearm to protect their families, their homes and their businesses.

Our southern border is a total joke. It is a daily reminder to everyone that we’re led by people who refuse to protect us and our sovereignty. Those images at the border cause prudent Americans to buy firearms. 

If government bureaucrats really feel it is not a good thing for citizens to own firearms, they should be dedicated to proving to those citizens that they are capable of fulfilling the number one responsibility of government – keeping us safe. 

They should be tough on looters and rioters. They should keep felons in jail. They should secure our borders to keep gangs, drugs and criminal aliens out. But they don’t do any of those things.

Don’t be confused about this. They have even worse policies heading our way. 

We’ve seen their disdain for the freedom of religion. We’ve seen how they are willing to jettison freedom of speech. We’ve seen how eager they are, including the president himself, to accuse us being of “white supremacists” and “domestic terrorists.” We saw how quick they were to smash our liberties under COVID. 

The only thing standing in their way to rule you rather than to govern you is the Second Amendment.  The Second Amendment is the only reason we still have freedom of religion, freedom of speech and other freedoms you cherish.

So, we must be extremely careful about telling this gang, “We have to do something.”
