[Monster Hunter Nation] That title isn't joking. This post is aimed at my liberal readers. I'm a libertarian leaning Republican and gun expert, who thinks you are wrong about a lot of stuff, but I'm not writing this to gloat about your loss. For the record, I disliked all the presidential candidates.
| You're not alone there, Mr. Correia. |
Judging by your social media over the last few days many liberals have been utterly terrified that your government might turn tyrannical or that evil people will now be emboldened to hurt you. I'm going to let you in on a little thing the other half of the country is familiar with to keep those unlikely, yet catastrophic, events from happening.
And that my lefty friends, is 2nd Amendment.
Having just gone through a war against a tyrannical government, the Founders understood that governments can go bad, so they made sure to note our God given right (or we'll say naturally occurring right, since a bunch of you are atheists)
| (so are some on the right side of the aisle, Mr. Correia, and also some in the middle, but that is a quibble compared to your main point) |
to keep and bear arms in order to defend ourselves. The 2nd Amendment isn't about hunting or "sporting purposes", it's about having weapons that you can fight with. As an added bonus, being able to protect yourself from a tyrannical government means that you're a lot better equipped to deal with any common criminal who decides to hurt you.
Before I get into the details about how to enjoy your newly discovered 2nd Amendment rights, let me just say that I get you're sad, angry, bitter, and fearful. But just like my people over the last few elections, you'll get over it. The really hyperbolic freak outs about Literally Hitler make you sound just like the Alex Jones crowd worried that Obama was going to herd Christians into FEMA camps last time. So take a deep breath and relax. Your friends and neighbors are the same as they were last week. The vast majority weren't voting because racism, they voted against the status quo and a really unlikable Democrat. And no, they aren't going to round you up into cattle cars.
But in the off chance they do, let's get you prepared! |
