The Candid Conservative
Dr. Carl Mumpower
Conservative thinkers have a rational enthusiasm for the second amendment. We are good with the good guys having effective tools for protecting themselves from the bad guys.
The second amendment to the U.S. Constitution is specific – “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Though it is abused by municipalities and states throughout the union, that second phrase offers indication of the value that our founding fathers placed on assuring future generations had the means to self-protection.
 The second amendment remains under persistent assault by the leftheaded. Behind the guise of public safety, the mission of removing guns from private ownership is a defined platform of socialist power brokers who apparently fear a well armed citizenry.
It has been demonstrated that in communities where firearm liberties are supported, violent crime is reduced. In communities, like our nation’s capital, where the rights to bear arms are infringed, violent crime is increased.
History tells us that an armed citizenry is rarely the source of murder and mayhem that decimates most cultures. That harm comes in the form of despots better armed than their people. They are thus able to make war on their own to retain control or engage in ill advised military adventurism that otherwise sacrifices the populace. Hitler enforced gun control in Germany behind the pretense of safety and thus had a free hand leading to the eventual deaths of sixty million people.
Pursuing gun rights versus accountability for those misusing firearms reveals the lazy agenda of anti-gun lobbies. More importantly, it reveals a deeper and sinister intent to disarm the populace. Conservative men and women are concerned with criminals, our government’s dysfunction, and potential abuses by both. Anyone thinking that disarming America will ease crime or restrain that dysfunction is simply not thinking…
“To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble it the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic.” Ted Nugent
