My cousin posted on Facebook a link to a site in favor of stronger gun control. Now, I love my cousin dearly; she's a sweet woman who has experienced a lot in her life. However, I had to agree to disagree with her.
I learned that one of the ways the dictatorial President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, gained such unmitigated power over the people after he allegedly stole the election was to confiscate all their weapons, leaving them physically defenseless against the police and military who backed his regime.
I am, therefore, considering purchasing a gun, if only to exercise my right under the Second Amendment to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights. Based on this information, I am recognizing this right as just as important as the right to vote. Indeed, owning a gun could have been the means for the Venezuelan people to defend their right to vote. However, since 1999 they have lived under a socialist government, instigated by Hugo Chavez.
I think we should take note and learn from this that the liberals who want to infringe on our rights to own weapons are the same people who want to have absolute sway in telling us through bureaucracy and legislation how we should live our lives. It is tantamount to an attempt at oppression.
