SHOOTINGS: MANIPULATING PATRIOTISM


The Second Amendment advocates appear oblivious to the fact that there are other Amendments to the Constitution and all of them have limitations. There are limits on my freedom of speech. I cannot slander someone or go around using foul or offensive language without paying a price.

Those who play the patriotism game don’t stop to consider what weapons were available in the latter half of the 18th century. For the founding fathers, muskets were the state of the art guns. It is impossible to carry out a mass killing with a musket. The founding fathers, in their wildest dreams, could not have imagined today’s guns.


The Second Amendment advocates don’t realize they are being manipulated. The word games and lies are being used against them to make the gun manufacturers rich. The NRA and gun manufacturers promote fear that the government is coming to get everyone’s guns. This isn’t a word game; it is a lie. (To be continued)
