Our Stealth Government on the March

Do you want to see this become
common? 
The entire 2013 version of gun control debate has centered on the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as is proper, but the interpretations of it have been polluted by the left throughout. Our ever guileful government has seen to that, and for nefarious reasons.

The very intent of our Founders in writing the Second Amendment -- especially in light of the recent Revolution -- was for the people to protect themselves from ever needing a second revolution. It was designed specifically for we the people to guard against the future tyranny of our own government. And yet here we stand, 237 years later, struggling to retain those that were once considered to be "inalienable rights".

Just as this administration did in Benghazi, they obfuscate the true motives of the aggressor to confuse the issue on "gun control". In Benghazi the Administration insisted for days -- after the truth was already known -- that the attack on our Embassy compound was because of a YouTube video that Muslims found offensive. (The film maker is still in a U.S. prison). The offensive film was never widely viewed by the Benghazi attackers.

Now the Administration and other Democrat politicians have taken the Sandy Hook shooting for their personal cause to champion using the same obfuscation tactics. They have managed to change the narrative of the story to suggest that assault weapons and large capacity magazines were the primary methods of murder. Further, the talking heads have convinced a large portion of the population that the Second Amendment is really about hunting. Neither notion is true.

What should come as no surprise, in actuality, is that now Senator Feinstein's proposed legislation to ban certain guns and ammunition will not apply to government officials. I would point out that the scope of "government officials" is quite broad. And that broad definition has already purchased 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point bullets, some which can penetrated concrete walls. Now they want to take guns away from the citizens. Is anyone seeing a pattern here?

Our government provided millions of guns to Mexican drug cartels in Operation Fast and Furious. They are now planning to supply Egypt with F-16 fighter jets and Abrams Tanks. Rumor has it that the operation in Benghazi was a covert plan to supply rebels with guns, a plan gone horribly awry. And they want our guns.

If this article frightens anyone, I will not apologize, I will celebrate, because people should be afraid. If fear makes people sit up and pay attention to what's going on around them, I consider that mission accomplished. The only reason government officials don't come kicking in our doors already is because they never know which house is armed, nor how heavily they might be.

Without our guns, we will be at the mercy of our government as well as all the criminals who -- as demonstrated by their very nature -- have no intention of following any law that says they can't have guns. Obama and the Democrats in Congress have long ago proved their disdain for the American people by forcing through Obamacare by any means necessary, despite our objections.

If we are left completely unarmed, what chance do you think we'll have then?
