Gunfight Over the Second Amendment

Gunfight Over the Second Amendment - Todd Strandberg - http://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/

 

In the days since the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, the left has gone into full propaganda mode to push for some type of gun control. Their main target is the weapon used to kill 17 people, an AR-15 rifle. They will never be satisfied until they turn the tide on Second Amendment rights.

 

The current system should have been enough to prevent the massacre. Nikolas Cruz came to the attention of the law enforcement system 39 times. He had told people that he wanted to be a school shooter. Someone had called a tip line and reported him to the FBI. The contacted agents made no effort to follow up on the lead.

 

"Under established protocols," the FBI said, "the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life. The information should have been forwarded to the FBI Miami field office, where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken. ... The information was not provided to the Miami field office, and no further investigation was conducted at that time."

 

There are thousands of convicted criminals who have guns, and the government is making little effort to get those weapons out of their hands. Gun-related deaths in Urban cities are exploding because law enforcement has become too timid in dealing with the problem.

 

The sharp rise in mass shooting events is not the result of an increase in the number of guns in America. Gun ownership hasn't changed over the past decade. There are so many of them that some form of prohibition would be no easy task. It's difficult to calculate, but in 2015 The Washington Post estimated the number of firearms nationwide at 357 million, which is more than one gun per US citizen.

 

The liberal media in America have become so radicalized in their approach in news coverage that nearly every story they produce heavily reflects their leftist agenda. They find and organize people to demonstrate for their cause. One of these efforts is mockingly called by some the "Children's Crusade." The press is using the students from Stoneman Douglas High School to put pressure on lawmakers.

 

"What I wish people would know is that this is something that people cannot get used to," student David Hogg, 17, told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" a day after the shooting. "This is something we can't let keep happening, because if we do and we get used to it, it's going to happen again. This is a time for our country to take a look in the mirror and realize there is a serious issue here," he added.

 

Several buses were requisitioned and a group of students went to the Florida capital to express their desire for gun control. The question in my mind was who is paying for those buses? If it was Hillary Clinton or George Soros, the whole purpose of the trip would have a new meaning.

 

The media found a gun-owning politician who was willing to prostitute himself to the anti-gun agenda. Scott-Dani Pappalardo said he would destroy his AR-15 rifle in light of the Florida school shooting unless the NRA is willing to discuss gun-law reform. The New Yorker, who legally purchased and registered the gun 30 years ago, said the Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy had changed his mind about gun control. He destroyed the weapon live on Facebook. His anti-gun speech was featured by almost all major news outlets, which resulted in the video being viewed by more than 20 million people.

 

The press is going to continue to bombard the public with gun-control propaganda until it changes enough minds to pass new regulations. Once they are able to ban one type of weapon, it will become much easier to put restrictions on all guns.

 

Satan knows that the Second Amendment will have to be voided before he can turn America into a dictatorship. If people lack the means to defend liberty, a tyrant can take over without a fight. Because we have already lost our rights on so many other fronts, the downfall of America could come at any moment.

 

The reason why our nation is having so many mass shootings is because we collectively turned our backs on God. The less we have of the Lord's influence, the more we come under the devil's control.

 

"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God" (Psalm 9:17).
