Dear Beto,

Can I call you Beto? Great.

Anyway, I wanted to take a few moments to write an open letter to you regarding some of your recent thoughts on gun control. In particular, your comments regarding mandatory buybacks.

On The View earlier this week, Meghan McCain commented that such an act would trigger violence. Her comment sparked outrage all over the internet. You, yourself, argued that McCain’s comments amounted to “It becomes self-fulfilling; you have people on TV who are almost giving you permission to be violent and saying, ‘You know this is this is going to happen.’”

Allow me to clue you in on something, Beto. There’s not a single gun owner in this country who is looking to Meghan McCain for permission to oppose the tyranny of a mandatory buyback.

McCain’s comments weren’t permission, they were a warning. It wasn’t something new, something she just pulled out of the ether in order to spark some controversy. She’s merely echoing the statements people have made for decades regarding their willingness to die for their Second Amendment rights.

By claiming its a self-fulfilling prophecy and that people like McCain are giving people permission, you’re telling on yourself. You’re telling each and every one of us that you have never bothered to listen to a damn thing any of us have said.

I didn’t even know who Meghan McCain was when I first heard someone issue the dire warning that if some form of gun confiscation were to happen, the first thing the jackboots trying to take them would get was the ammunition delivered at high velocity. The gun-rights community has warned that efforts to take away or guns would lead to civil war for years now.

You just didn’t want to listen.

We often talk about lawmakers being out of touch, and you’ve just become the poster boy for that, Beto. You are so wrapped up in your liberal bubble that you simply can’t understand that this is a thing, this is something we’ve gone on about for ages. You can’t understand it because you don’t want to understand it. In your mind, we’re all just good little drones who will do whatever Big Daddy Government wants us to do.

We’re not.

We’re the heirs of Lexington and Concord. We’re the children of Valley Forge and Bunker Hill. We’re a defiant, freedom-loving bunch that isn’t rolling over because some spoiled rich kid thinks we should.

Let me make it clear for you. If you come for our guns, we are going to fight back. We don’t look to Meghan McCain for permission to do that. She could tell us not to, and we’d still fight back.

Beto, you need to understand. You need to learn. You need to come to grasp the simple fact that we’re not like you. We don’t look at government as an unmitigated good whose lead we should always follow. We have reasons for that. It’s called the history of the 20th Century filled with countless atrocities, atrocities carried out under the umbrella of government.

Those atrocities could only be carried out because the populations were unarmed.

We’re not sheep. We will not be herded into genocide all because some well-meaning but sheltered rich boy who has never lived in a high-crime neighborhood in his life could tell us what we need and don’t need.

Meghan McCain gave no one permission for anything. Further, gun owners don’t need such a permission. Our permission was penned in 1776 and signed on July 4th.

I consider government a necessary evil the less you are required to have of it the better off you are

a perfect society would be one that no government at all is required

"the less you are required"
Who sets the standard for requirement?
 
I do not support violence or overthrowing the government, but I will not sit by and become a victim of tyranny be it at the hands of the government or the thugs on the street.

Yes you will, the NG will see to it or the Army who is fighting at the command of the Potus. You'd get your butt in prison.

society the people

it boils down to the simple truth the role of government is control and to be able to control freedoms have to be curtailed
a perfect society is one that requires no control pure unadulterated freedom

a perfect society there would be no crime no violence there for no need for police
a perfect society there will be no wars or threat of war there for no need for a military
a perfect society there would be no homeless there would be no one starving it would be family helping family neighbor helping neighbor there for no need for welfare or other socialist handouts

the more and more government that is required meaning more and more control is required which is a reflection of that society a bad reflection

like a bad kid that can't be left alone that requires constant parenting

So when you join the military take your gun with you!!

"the less you are required"
Who sets the standard for requirement?

Wrong.

No it does not boil down to that.
 
Although Americans today often think that gun control is a modern invention, the Founding era had laws regulating the armed citizenry. There were laws designed to ensure an effective militia, such as laws requiring armed citizens to appear at mandatory musters where their guns would be inspected. Governments also compiled registries of civilian-owned guns appropriate for militia service, sometimes conducting door-to-door surveys. The Founders had broad bans on gun possession by people deemed untrustworthy, including slaves and loyalists. The Founders even had laws requiring people to have guns appropriate for militia service.

Yes you will, the NG will see to it or the Army who is fighting at the command of the Potus. You'd get your butt in prison.
Those serving in the Military do not have to follow an unlawful order. Arresting people who are exercising a Constitutional right would be unlawful. As far as the National Guard goes they would be arresting friends and family so I don't believe they are going to play ball either.
You fucking loons never hash out the consequences of you agenda.

No it does not boil down to that.
the major role of government is to pass laws and enforce those laws and all laws are is the curtailing of freedoms
so the more laws you have the more laws that are required the less and less freedoms you have

If no one ever stole would we then require laws not to steal?

do you not steal because it's against the law or because its wrong to do so?

do you think society or even the world would accept a nation like the US ordering its military to fire on its own citizens
crap like that only happens in dictatorships that are thoroughly condemned and shunned by the civilized nations

You are trying to use reason with people who compare Trump to a dictator and are pushing to disarm American citizens. You can not use a reasonable argument with the insane.

And you'd get court marshalled. An unlawful order coming from the Potus, you have got to be kidding.
