Don’t Try To Tell Me What The Second Amendment Means

BY Herschel Smith
3 years, 9 months ago

The number of times I’ve seen baiting of 2A supporters to come “help” the rioters are too numerous to link.  Those bait traps have been ubiquitous of late.

reddit/Firearms has yet another response to this nonsense.

Some brief but insightful comments:

Denigrate firearm owners for years
>Realize concerns for tyranny are legitimate
>Whine and cry halp-halp
Lol FOH

It’s funny because the left has always been free to arm themselves. All of a sudden, we’re some free group of mercenaries being baited to fight for daddy soro’s marxist movement.

These remarks are on point but too brief as is the nature of reddit.  Here are mine.

It’s laughable that anyone on the communist side has had the stupidity to come up with anything like the idea that 2A supporters should be helping them.

First of all, these are the very people who voted to disarm people, and would disarm you in a heartbeat if they had the chance.  They don’t want an armed populace – that is at odds with everything the communists believe in.

Second, 2A supporters aren’t violent and murderous people like the communists.  The 2A community will fight back against confiscation (among other things), but not at innocent lives who had nothing to do with the abuses.

Third, 2A supporters would have nothing whatsoever to do with the destruction of property of innocent people who were trying to earn an honest living, as is the case with the communists.  In short, we care about people and their lives, the communists don’t, and see everyone as a steppingstone to the next goal on their agenda.  It makes no sense for a 2A supporter to side with communists because communists are the very people who want to steal from others, while 2A supporters are generally hard working, honest Americans.

Fourth, the communists side isn’t righteous.  It isn’t righteous to want to implement the very tyranny they are fighting.  The communists would overthrow tyranny only to implement a worse one.  God hates controllers and communists.

This list is far from complete, and readers can add to it.  The bottom line, if you are one of the communists who have stumbled upon this post, is that you and I are on different sides.  We are enemies.

No one fell for your stupid antics to get some “help.”  You can be imprisoned or die on your own for your sins.  Imprisoned or die – it matters not to me.

UPDATE: See what I said?  Via Glenn Reynolds, this reply from Larry Correia’s response to the same thing.  I just think my response is more expansive.

    ” Feds attacking people in the streets”. Please. The only thing the feds are doing is protecting federal buildings and arresting a few violators of federal laws. The violations are quite serious and not nearly enough of the perps are being actually arrested. That is where the feds are failing.

    You are right. Most Constitutionalists are Christians, bless their hearts, and will fight for what is right.

    Right out of the box in Minneapolis it was “right wing terrorists”, “armed white militia” and “white nationalists” responsible for the mayhem. The commie gov’ners and mayors jumped the shark on that one. Even the lying MSM couldn’t get any traction with those headlines, what with every other commie wearing ANTIFA and BLM brands in plain view for the whole world to see. Whether they wanted to admit it or not it soon became obvious to the most casual leftist observer that it was communists. The people on the right knew it from the very start and middle America is learning fast.

    Looks like they are desperate to me. Baiting the right into acts of needless violence is going to be a constant refrain from the left. Even if the deep state managers stage a black flag event it’s going to go over like a lead balloon. Pulling the wool over a gullible public is not going to have the impact it used to. They have seen too many of them in the past and are learning that the swamp and the insurrectionists are two prongs on the same fork. There are too many people suffering economic chaos to pay attention to a government that does not care about them and refuses to protect them from murderers, rapists and thieves.

    Trump has thrown a fly into the ointment. Without declaring martial law he has federal agents going toe to toe with the commies in a deep state civil war.  Professional wrestling on steroids.

    I’m no liberal. I do take my own side in a quarrel. So no support for communists can be expected from me.

    I wonder, Penses. If this is where DJT is headed…

    Then there is only one word left.
    SECESSION.

    One wonders why FedGov has not yet charged, arrested, and prosecuted Schwartz György under RICO.

    But then one knows very well why…

    Before you summon all those crazy radical right-wing gun owners into your downtowns, be absolutely sure you know which way their guns will be pointed.

    If I go to Portland it will be to run those commies through wood chippers, and guess who would come to their aid then? po po

    Zero chance I’ll assist either the commie mass murderers or the standing army police state. They deserve each other, they being a product, one of the other.

    @Fred Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

    In the good ole USA the law has become arbitrary, capricious and in some cases a weapon. Jefferson’s adage describing an individual judges reshaping of the law to fit his own preconceived notions can now be extended to all fifty states: the law in the hands of a communist is like clay in the hands of a child.

    This is a bit off topic / down another rabbit hole, but I read with interest your posts regarding the battles of wanat and kamdesh, and all the insane political, ROE and incompetent higher level leadership that resulted in such unnecessary losses.

    So now that The Outpost movie is out / streaming online, I was curious to get your opinion on the movie ( if you have seen it)?

    Somebody suggested recently that what the Left is trying to promote is a “Kent State Moment” so they can wave a bloody shirt right through the election.

    We must not be seen to have fired the first shots of CWII.

    “The Outpost”

    Didn’t know anything about it.

    Have to look that one up. Thanks for the tip.
