Minnesota Gun Rights Rally

2/2/19: I just attended the MGR gun rally at the State Capitol Rotunda in St. Paul. It was a peaceful, if enthusiastic, raucous politically rally by 500 gun-toters.

Several are the observations that I would like to make.

First, we are having an effect. Ben Dorr refers to his members as the largest grassroots army in Minnesota and we may yet be able to turn the tide, against universal background checks and red-flag legislation at the Legislature. It will be an uphill battle.

Second,  the Dorr Brothers pointed out what Mark Levin made me understand a couple years ago: The Right in America is populated by timid pansies that tepidly fight for gun rights, or whatever is the conservative cause. Republican RINO politicians are weak and swamp creatures.

Pelosi in Washington and the House Democratic members here from the first day of the new session hit the ground running to advance their radical gun-control agenda. They are fighting fiercely and with courage and boldness to advance their agenda and the politicians keep their promises to deliver gun control to their followers and financial backers. They are fearless, united and dedicated. They are fanatics and energized and focus with purpose: destroy America, bring financial ruination to its citizens, disarm the populace and slam Ameritopian despotism on the people. Their agenda is immoral and awful but they are eager to see it completed because it means their addiction to power will be fulfilled, and that is a most alluring temptation to cave to.

Our tepid, RINO, doublespeaking Republican do not say what they mean, and promise what they should promise, and then work to meet those promises once in St. Paul or Washington. Ben demands that politicians  say yes when they mean yes and say no when they mean no.

Our Republicans our divided, tired, low energy, and do not fight hard. Daudt of the Minnesota House did not do Stand Your Ground or Constitutional Carry, so he lost his majority after four years and we have one helluva mess.

McConnell and Ryan did not push these two bills in Congress the last couple of years, so we gained not positive gun rights there when we have majorities, so with Feinstein and Pelosi proposing radical gun control at the federal level, we are back to playing defense. When in power the Left gains huge gains, and when out of power, they still gain ground. How, because the Republicans and the Right on all levels of government are passive, career-politicians that just get rich and complacent, and stay forever, not serving their conservative constituents, paying lip service for what they were supposed to do when there.

Third, the NRA, now a relatively compromised, sold-out, team-player part of the Republican swamp Establishment in Washington is promoting Red-Flag legislation, and endorsing anti-gun RINOS like Mark Rubio, running interference for him and other Republican gun-grabbers, and providing them with cover with deceived gun owners and gun-lovers while working with the gun-grabbing Left, or at least not pushing a pro-gun agenda, or offering more than a token resistance against the anti-gun legislative agenda.

In Minnesota Paul Gazelka, Republican Majority Leader is for universal background checks and Red-Flag legislation. He and the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus are running cover and interference for conservative and Republican gun-grabbers at the Legislature.

As a militant union steward, more tepid, sold-out stewards worked with my tepid union and Management to stab me in the back and sell me out, all while bragging about all they did for the workers.

Fourth, this brings me to my fourth point and conclusion about elites that rule the masses as the incestuous relationship between the mainstream media, elected officials, big business, billionaires and the treacherous, faithless Chamber of Commerce that make the laws on state and federal levels, conspire and lie and cover for each other to keep the masses down, ignorant and suppressed.

First the right to bear arms will be taken from us. Then the other rights and civil liberties will fall, and then hard tyranny will crush as while we are defenseless, cowed and disarmed.

Real change must come from the bottom up. Ben notes that we cannot be nice and stoop to kiss the ring or feet of these politicians. We must be aggressive, in their faces and hunt them down to protect our liberties, especially the right to bear arms.

Fifth, as an Aristotelian ethical moderate that believe that the middle is the way, how can I be so militant about gun rights, with absolutely no compromise on gun rights, and yet be ethically consistent and not hypocritical about our gun rights militancy?

First, the polar opposition of gun-control and gun rights is not a morally neutral set of contraries. If the contrast is between being too tight or too spendthrift with one's money, moderation is advisable that one lives well and enjoys the finer things and luxuries as long as one lives within one's budget, gives 10% to the church and charity, and puts away 15% for retirement.

The RINOS, like Gazelka with his emphasis on safety over liberty, and doing what works (doing gun control while lying and assuring us that he is pro-gun), and the Leftist gun-hating Democrats, who try to talk about being reasonable, moderate and using common sense on beginning to legislate away our gun rights a piece at a time, are, when exposed, are stealth creepers, employing incremental legislation over time--or like Pelosi now revealed as grabbing big chunks of gun rights out front and openly--can be shown for what they really are: pure gun-grabbers, vicious infighters, gun-haters loathing guns and gun owners, working tirelessly and continuously to push their agenda: gun confiscation and bringing socialist tyranny to America. Disarm the people and patriots, and the Communist state police will have a much easier time getting into power, terrorizing us and staying forever in power.

These no-compromise fanatics are pure evil, and to compromise with them would have been like sending money and guns to Hitler in World War II.

The very aggressive, no-compromise approach of the Dorrs and Minnesota Gun Rights is no compromise based on principle. We stand for liberty and the Left and the Gun-grabbers stand for tyranny and subjugation of the American people. I am for moderation and compromise, but not with foolish, evil, power-hungry, uncompromising socialist fanatics on the march to end America as we know it, and to put its people and liberty down and in harms way forever.
