It’s no secret to anyone who is paying attention that gun rights are in the crosshairs of the political debate.
We no longer live in a time where gun control advocates hide their views behind “gun safety” doubletalk, at this point, the lines have become pretty clear. This year saw a Democratic Presidential Primary where the candidates sought to one-up each other on their support for stricter gun control laws and California just passed some of the most anti-gun legislation in our nation’s history.
The President’s latest executive order relating to ITAR permits will likely put hundreds of small time gunsmiths, already a dying breed, out of business permanently. The United States Supreme Court is up for grabs. We live in perilous times.
Under the circumstances, it bears quoting Jed Eckert: “So, who is on our side?” The good news is, many in Congress. Over the past few years, we have witnessed several tragic mass shootings on our nation’s soil, each followed by loud cries to restrict the rights of all Americans.
In the face of this overwhelming pressure from the media, the public, and gun control advocates who have waited decades to take advantage of such tragedies, many have stood in the gap. Some Republican, some Democrat, some in positions of leadership and some who are rank and file members of Congress, the list of those who have fought to protect gun rights in thankfully long.
