Tell the average low information type that at Sandy Hook, or in the Aurora Theater, that they are being lied to, that it wasn’t an automatic AR15 being used, that it was actually a semi-auto.
They’ll shrug and think you have a screw loose. It’s not like if they realize that no actual select fire rifles were used, that they’ll suddenly see things our way. They know EXACTLY what they are trying to ban. We need to fight the actual fight, not a hobbyists wonk fight.
That tactic might make more sense for us if they were saying everyone had a right to a semi auto rifle, and were pretending that the mass murders were all select fire. But that’s simply not the case.
As I stated, the lefties know exactly what they are doing.
They pander to the ignorant by design.
Our goal is to educate the ignorant on not only semantics and the actual meanings of what is being proposed, but also the precise reasons and meanings encompassed by the Second Amendment.
I constantly hear the left proclaim that they support “Hunters and Sportsmen” as far as firearms and the Second Amendment, but that is not what the Second Amendment is all about.
It needs to be hammered home to the ignorant that the Second Amendment is all about insuring that American Citizens will always be able to keep and bear arms, not simple flintlocks or muzzle loaders that were available when the Second Amendment was “created”, as the primary tool that will be used to combat tyranny both from without and from within.
Particularly from within.
The Founding Fathers spelled it out in the Federalist Papers, and for any who refuse to believe the reality of the meaning of the Second Amendment, those disbelievers must be made to understand exactly what the Founding Fathers meant and any “wiggle room” must be eliminated. Otherwise, we simply allow the left to continue to dilute and pervert the true meaning of the Second Amendment, which will lead to eventual disaster for this country, IMO.
