The most important thing to realize right now is that this newest, most forceful push for gun control is a red flag being dangled in front of a bull.
What’s the major narrative the Democrats are trying to push right now? It’s that the country is full of angry white supremecist terrorist cells plotting to overthrown the Nation as founded.
Now, right now, no one believes that… mostly because it’s stupid… laughable on its face. But that doesn’t mean the Democrats can’t continue to try and goose that narrative in order to push legislation they could never pass otherwise. We’ve seen this before in the wake of Ruby Ridge and Waco. But the one thing they need to cement this newest version of the “angry white man” narrative in the minds of the majority of Americans who aren’t paying attention to politics every single day, is their Reichstag Fire. They need a Timothy McVeigh… one crazy, unstable, radicalized white dude to do something stupid and horrifying which they can use as proof that they’ve been right all along, and that its high time to run roughshod over our Constitutional Rights. And if they can’t find one, they’ll make one.
Don’t give them that excuse. This is a very dangerous time. Keep your wits about you.
