The Court of Appeals has struck down a 2023 Illinois law the bans AR15s and any "similar"weapons as "weapons of war". "Despite those who value weapons of war more than public safety, this law was enacted to and has protected Illinoisans from the constant fear of being gunned down in places where they ought to feel secure," Pritzker spokesman Alex Gough said.
Leftist extremists have one goal, maintain and increase governmental power and control. By definition a liberal leftist believes that the average person is incapable of making correct and rational decisions. This ethical background serves to allow almost any amoral or unethical rule because the unwashed masses cannot be allwed means of resiting the government when it becomes corrupted and autocratic. Thomas Jefferson and others among our founding fathers warned us.about this many times.
Loking at this objectively, there are several truths about leftist anti-gun mindset:
The Left believes that the 2nd amendment refers only to the militia of the Colonial times, and is unnecessaryn in the modern era. However, it is a truth that the very first action in every authoritarian takeover is to disarm the people. This is historically a universal truth. From Russia to Nazi Germany to China to Cambodia (under Pol Pot) to modern day Britain. Every time a tyrannical and intrusive government develops, it want to maintain power by making its subjects submissive and incapable of self defense. This lack of ability to defend oneself not only applies to defense against a tyrant leader, but against criminals. A citizenry subject to criminal tyranny by society around them is totally dependent on and subject to the government in power. "A free man must by definition be a man armed and trained in arms to stand against those who would curtail and remove that freedom".
Secondly, that argument that semiautomatic weapos are "weapons of war" is spurious. Even as long ago as the Second World War, fully automatic weapons are the standard of military weapons. Semiautomatic weapons are not weapons of war, and weapons like the AR15, SKS, etc are absolutely THE best home defeense weapon. The Watts Riots proved that. The ONLY buildings that were not burned by Black rioters were proteted by mostly Vietnamese immigrants proteting their businesses and homes using AR15s, 30 cal carbines and SKS semiautomatic rifles. While a shotgun is pretty effective as an antipersonnel weapon,it requires a pretty stroong arm to effectively weild it. Well documented studies show that petite women can very effectively use an AR15, but were literally knocked down byt eh recoil of a 12 ga shotgun. Of course it is this very effectiveness as a defensive weapon that causes the Democrats to attack it. Democrats don’t want people to be able to defend themselves. They want us to be completely dependent on a corrupt and powerful government . Democrats want total control of our lives, money and minds. To them “1984” is not a cautionary tale, it is a “How To” manual and an underpinning of DNC policy platform.
One year ago, these ugly and sick Democrats murdered Charlie Kirk, a father, husband and public evangelist for freedom or thought, religion and strong personal responsibility. The Democrats hate all of these things. They cannot tolerate personal responsibility because most of their base is incapable of personal responsibility or moral duty.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of 9/11/2001 when Islam attacked our country murdering thousands of hard working Americans. Now there are several high profile Muslims in positions of power and influence, all Democrats. This is impeccable and imperative evidence of the Democrats hatred of our country. They attack our democracy, our religion, our families, and our country, They call patriots “nazi” and accuse hard working and law abiding citizens of homophobia/racism/sexism because we support one husband, one wife as a couple and heads of a family who love one another. There is NO replacement for the traditional family, and never will be. There are 2 and only 2 genders, biologically determined and immutable. There is no replacement for personal responsibility and accountability and equally no place for DEI, Woke/Socialist ideology, LGBTQ insanity or Sharia. The Constitution is the Law.
We need to weed the garden and take out the garbage. That should start this midterm election. The Left does not belong in any position of power or authority.
