A story came out just the other day that Donald Trump Jr has a new business

venture….he just partnered with another entrepreneur to take a company public

that some are calling the “Amazon of guns”….many people may not be aware that

Don Jr is actually a big gun guy, he loves to hunt, and I know for a fact that a

friend of mine who has a wingshooting lodge here in Alabama hosted him a

couple of years ago to hunt pheasant……so his company is called GrabaGun and

sells ammunition and firearms accessories on a website….he said that he

considers himself and political refugee from New York now living in the free state

of Florida….and he felt like returning to the New York Stock Exchange to take a

firearms company public was a full circle opportunity to repudiate gun policies

and wokisms that has stifled the 2 nd amendment and gun dealers in general…..

One article I read on the public offering of GrabaGun said, “After years of gun

companies being de-platformed and de-banked, Trump Jr. said that his

investment groups’s involvement with GrabAGun is a "catalyst for change" in an

era where there has been a "cultural shift" in attitude toward the Second

Amendment.”…..I agree with that…..woke world hates guns….and the idea that a

new gun company is going to deliver to peoples houses is already driving the left

absolutely nuts!....you can search and quickly find headlines crowing on left

leaning outlets like CNBC, Daily Beast, Bloomberg, Newsweek, Reuters, all saying

that his stock offering is fizzling….he didn’t raise as many millions in the first 24

hours as he could have!......you know what the bottom line is? Libs don’t

understand guns….they don’t…..they’re a mystery….they can’t even describe

them well….they don’t know what they do….they operate under the belief that

the gun by itself is the danger, not the person who wields it……

But really, Liberals are so predictable…..one of the few absolutes in life is the

predictable outcome of any shooting incident when liberals bellow that gun

control is what is needed….that the second amendment is outdated, or in

President Biden’s words “not absolute”…..and that it was the gun that caused the

crisis, and not the criminal…..meanwhile, the inference is that all of us who are

gun owners are complicit in the crime that occurred if in fact we believe in the

right to bear arms…..by that same rationale I supposed that all car owners are

complicit if a drunk driver causes an accident…..all knife owners are complicit if a

knife is used in a crime…..or here’s my favorite, the game of baseball should be

banned and all baseball players young and old should be held accountable if a

baseball bat ever found its way into a crime scene……these are ridiculous

arguments based on fallacious reasoning by simple minds who cannot grasp that

accountability and punishment for bad actors should be confined to the level of

criminal culpability of the accused and not to society as a whole…..in short, gun

control is a lazy mans argument in the aftermath of a shooting tragedy….but I will

say this….some of the gun control proponents do provide some comedy relief….I

mean, when is the gun control lobby going to start giving lessons to its members

on how to talk about guns….or not talk about them……

Do you know why I don’t try to spend time talking about the geosynchronous

orbit of satellites…..because I’m not a rocket scientist……I don’t try to tell a

Physician what dosage to prescribe….because I have no clue and I know it…..so

why then do liberals continue to provide us with comic relief by talking about

guns with such fervor when it is painfully obvious that they have no idea what

they are talking about?......I don’t have a good answer for that very good

questions but I do have some examples:

Senator Dianne Feinstein once said – ““We have federal regulations and state

laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal

to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.” …..I

don’t know where it is actually legal to hunt humans….but I also question the

veracity of her arguments on the use of 150 round magazines….she is also the

person who said that the Clinton era assault weapons ban didn’t go far enough….

Or how about then Vice President Joe Biden who believes strongly in deterrence

by means of …..a shotgun? He said just a few years back: “Well, you know, my

shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep

someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.” ….he

went on to say that rifles can blast through walls and hurt someone in the next

room…..well so can intruders who get in….I’m thinking shotgun Joe has never

loaded a twelve gauge with double-ought buck or slugs……

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colorado) had a humdinger, try to follow this one – she

said: “If you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity

magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will

have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”…..I don’t even know

what that means…..I guess she’s saying that if we reduce the number of

magazines that there will be….fewer bullets(?)…..I don’t know, but I do know that

where she is from they have recreational marijuana….so there’s that…..

Perhaps my favorite of all comes from Democrat New York Assemblywoman

Patricia Eddington who was apparently under the impression that we now have

miniature heat seeking missiles being fired at deer…..she said: “Some of these

bullets, as you saw, have an incendiary device on the tip of it, which is a heat

seeking device. So, you don’t shoot deer with a bullet that size. If you do you

could cook it at the same time”……so, no need to field dress that buck…..just

shoot it with a heat seeking bullet and serve it up hot…..hmmmm…..

In the end I could spend my entire three hour show today giving you constantly

streaming examples of liberals pretending that they know something about

firearms….but they don’t….and they embarrass themselves when they pretend

otherwise…..but that’s really not their aim though is it…..the bottom line in the

gun control debate is that I may not be a rocket scientist….or a surgeon….or a

rocket surgeon…..but even still the various aspects of those professions and what

they do can be regulated out of existence if politicians wanted to go down that

road…..but the right to possess firearms is actually protected under the 2 nd

Amendment to the US Constitution……a distinction that makes the various

attempts to exert control of the ownership and use of firearms far more nefarious

and egregious…….it’s like saying I believe in God but don’t believe that all of the

Bible is accurate…..I believe in everything but Genesis 1:1 (“in the beginning God

created the heavens and the earth”) ….when you choose to selectively apply

scripture then all of it comes into question….likewise when you choose to

selectively abridge just one constitutional right……just one of our basic

liberties….then you have in effect called them all into question…..rights are either

inviolable or they are not…..period.

Congressman Chip Roy said it well in a hearing about gun control legislation….he

said, “Democrats’ push for stricter gun control laws is actually about their war

against traditional American culture – not about protecting citizens from gun

violence “

“The fact here is this is really about the Left’s culture war against gun-owning and

supporting America. That’s what it’s about,” Rep. Roy said at Thursday’s House

Judiciary Committee hearing on Democrats’ latest gun control proposals…..he

concluded those comments in the face of a bill that would apply great knee-jerk

restrictions to gun ownership by saying, ““In order to tell the American people a

lie – that the government will protect them – half of this committee is willing to

take away a citizen’s God-given right to protect himself or herself from harm and,

importantly, from the very tyranny being applied to them to deny that

right.”….And there you have it….these arguments, often inane and ridiculous in

their hyperbole, clearly show that in a rush to speak and act and legislate without

even understanding the facts or the capabilities of various firearms that the gun

control mob doesn’t really care about firearms….if they did they would at the very

least present a cogent and factual statement……no, instead they are really intent

on creating control…..the weakening of liberties embedded in the

Constitution……and more political firepower for themselves…..and they don’t care

how they get there…..

Even if it takes a 150 round magazine of shotgun shells with a barrel shroud……

Live free or die

and that’s a wrap for the Rightside Way….
