OK, the government shutdown is in its 5th day, and I am VERY
disappointed (although not the least bit surprised) in my Second Amendment
supporting friends.
Government tyranny is upon us. Approximately 40 members of the Tea Party have ignored this fact: The House passed the ACA, the Senate passed the ACA, and the Supreme Court upheld the ACA. It is the law of the land. These 40 or so terrorists have seized control of the GOP, and in defiance of a legally enacted law, are hell bent on destroying the country. Why? Because the corporate interests they REALLY represent don't want to pay more in taxes so all Americans can have affordable health care.
You folks have been stockpiling firearms and ammo since the Dark Lord was elected 5 years ago. The tyrannical government you warned us about is upon us (although you expected it to be blue instead of red).
Are you going to be all mouth and no action like that has-been rock star who had promised to be dead or in jail by now?
Never mind that to a large measure, the same people who are the loudest (and blindest) supporters of the Second Amendment are also supporters of the group that is holding the nation hostage. Forget the fact that many of those same people will be badly hurt when the Social Security checks, Medicare and VA benefits stop arriving. Principles are principles (even if you don't know what they are).
If you aren't going to take your guns and ammo and take back your government from the people who are defying the law, hurting you and your fellow citizens in real, tangible ways...if you are going to let a group of Koch and Wall Street owned Plutocrats (look it up, Bubba) destroy your beloved country, then your hoarding weapons is no different than an adolescent hoarding porn: it fuels a rich fantasy life.
Come to think of it, that's a pretty good analogy: both have you imagining your "equipment" is all powerful, capable of firing again and again...while in reality, the only thing you are shooting off are your mouths (and a few unarmed kids).
Time to put up or shut up. So far, you have just stood by, polishing your ordinance. The day of reckoning is at hand, and you are waiting for the NRA to tell you what to do. Well, let me predict what their instructions are going to be: "Buy more guns and ammo."
Enjoy watching your country going down the drain, flushing you and your family along with it. You never really were a patriot, were you? Anyone watching could tell that by your battle cry:
"BAAaaaaa"
You just followed a different shepherd. One that turned out to be the wolf you feared most of all.
