Anyway, I was just passing my mom and her TV. She was watching the evening news and I ended up stopping in my tracks. Once again, the topic was guns. Gah. Apparently, there was a gun show in Jacksonville today and it was very well attended. First Coast News was right there to get the news straight from the attendees.
"Our President is the best gun salesman ever. The more he talks about guns, the faster they fly off the shelves. We can't keep guns in stock."
~Vendor (I missed his name because mom and I were laughing so hard.)
I have read more blogs and articles about guns in the last month than I can even tell you. The President keeps saying that America doesn't want guns. I think the number of gun sales since the President started all of his talk about gun laws suggest something else entirely. We The People are in favor of the 2nd Amendment. We The People are in favor of background checks. That is the only sound legislation that we have heard proposed yet.
No matter who you are, saying something doesn't make it true. It doesn't become more true if you say it with children behind you. It doesn't become more true if you get children to say it. And for someone who has said that he wants his administration to be one of Transparency, things couldn't be less Clear. Exactly what was in those Executive Orders? And why do we need reminding that "everything" needs to go through Congress when it is so obvious that it doesn't? However, thank you for having a child remind us to call our Congressman to push him/her to stand strong on the 2nd Amendment. I am not sure it will make any difference, but I did send an email. So, thanks for that.
So what is Clear? Americans feel safest when we are protecting ourselves. We know that we are the "well regulated militia" that the 2nd Amendment is referring to, and it is our duty to uphold the 2nd Amendment. That is Clear. The other thing that is Clear is that you are excellent at selling guns. Way to go, POTUS. Gun manufacturers everywhere thank you for your lip service.
