“As a nation, the U.S. has a deep and enduring connection to guns. Integrated into the fabric of American society since the country’s earliest days, guns remain a point of pride for many Americans. Whether for hunting, sport shooting or personal protection, most gun owners count the right to bear arms as central to their freedom,” reports a wide-ranging new poll from the Pew Research Center.
It found that 74 percent of all U.S. gun owners say owning a gun is “essential to their freedom.” Another 73 percent of the owners say they could never see themselves “not owning a gun.” Half say that “all or most of their friends” also own guns. The survey, which also explores the political dimensions of gun ownership, says the nation has “a complex relationship with guns” for multiple reasons.

74% of American gun owners say owning a gun is ‘essential to their freedom’: Poll
The Disarm Americans crowd focused on the impossible task of disarming criminals rather than make the case for abolishing a constitutional Right. That is why Democrat gun-grabbers spent decades trying to sell the lie that the Founders had criminals in mind when they included the Second Amendment in the Bill Of Rights. After decades of the lie, and numerous unconstitutional gun control laws, just to erase 27 words without Democrats once trying for repeal:
AMENDMENT II
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
the Pew Research Center poll showed that Americans understand original intent “. . . most gun owners count the right to bear arms as central to their freedom . . . ”.
Here is a fun question I have been asking for years:
If you could make one of two organizations go away forever which one would you choose —— the NRA or the ACLU?
If you could make one of two organizations go away forever which one would you choose —— the NRA or the ACLU?
Outgun them when you cant disarm them
The gun-grabbers are united behind one political strategy. Criminals are the problem. Every anti-Second Amendment talking point paints gun-owners as the problem creating all of the violence. Hollywood created the false premise way back in the black & white movie era:
There is not one Hollywood movie that I know of where the plot dealt with the reason for the Second Amendment; a screenplay where guns defended against the federal government. Turning the constitutional reason for guns into a defense against criminals was the message Hollywood Communists put out —— with great success I might add.
The lie did not escape the man who lies about everything:
Taqiyya the Liar ——making a lot of noise for the press —— will be satisfied if he reinforces the lie that the Second Amendment is about criminals:
Cowards In Hollywood Movies
The fact is: Upholding the Second Amendment has priorities.
1. Defense against government tyranny.
2. Self-defense against native criminals.
3. Self-defense against foreign enemies who come here to kill.
Notice that the very people who would disarm a free people want guns for themselves so they can overthrow a government they see as tyrannical!
Finally, Winston Churchill was talking about Nazi Germany, but his advice can be applied to defending the Second Amendment:
If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
What Are Democrats Doing About It?
