Confessions Of A Liberal Gun Owner: Stand Up

It's time for me to stand up!

About this Blog

I am a shooter and a pro-gun advocate. It started before I was in High School, it continued in college and during my six years of military service, and it continues today.

I believe the right to keep and bear arms should not be restricted. I believe government is the problem, not the solution. I believe in universal concealed carry, although I prefer open carry.

I am uncomfortable with the rant against all liberals as “gun grabbers”, because I identify myself as a liberal. Nevertheless, I am a gun rights advocate in agreement with the rant that makes me uncomfortable.

That doesn't mean that I accept the hype about all liberals being "the enemy". Believe me ... Liberals don't want your guns (we have our own)! That misdirection is being perpetrated by an elite class that wants to divide and conquer because gun owners stand in their way.

United we stand and divided we will all lose our 2A rights, followed by the rest of our rights, and eventually our freedom, our way of life, and possibly even our lives.

That same elite class is taking advantage of all the chaos, to promote the "common good", restrict our freedoms, and marginalize everyone they disagree with.

It's time to think for yourself. If you remain focused on liberals you've already lost the fight.
