Well today, it was
reinforced why some 33-years ago after hearing the call to “Stand Down” I demobilized
as a member in good standing with the NRA. It was a tough call, as living in
Alaska went hand-in-hand with the Rifleman’s objective. I stopped supporting
that organization based on principle “My pledge of Allegiance” this nation. There
was a time wherein the once-upon-a-time association of “Hunters” valued the
mission of this 2nd Amendment Right advocator in efforts to show off
that hunting was an American tradition. It was that manly dad thing, taking the
almost adult kids out on the mud flats in the early morning as fog lifted away,
introducing them to the challenges of putting food on the table. It was better
than watching professional football on a Saturday, comradery at its best. And
it did invite a respect for the Mother Earth. OK, if a “nothing burger” hunting
day just head over to Rudy’s for a real gut buster, and drink coffee with the
other honorary members of the local NRA. And back then, we were not afraid of our
12-gauge shotguns being taken away or for that matter restricted use, as we
were all proud to be part of that “Well Regulated Militia” and to think of an
entity violating our weapons cache, we feared not. Let’s face the facts, what
good is a Militia that is at the beckon call of the Commander-in-Chief if no
arms to bear? The 2nd Amendment guarantees one thing, that all gun
carrying Americans are indoctrinated into this “Militia”, love it or leave it, that’s
it. The “Right to Bear Arms” is at the expense of being drafted at any time by
the Commander, for any reason. And this “call to duty” is not by a lottery,
“You’re In” regardless. If you own a firearm, if you do not accept that
condition wherein you could be called to duty tomorrow to protect our schools,
then please turn in your guns. As a matter of fact this discussion, when I was
living in Alaska over yonder Valdez - a place that finds more marauding Brown
Bears then residents - in spring when the schools went on outings some dads were
asked to accompany the students, providing bear protection and basically heeding
that call to duty the “Well Regulated Militia”. What came first, the “Well
Regulated Militia” or the right to bear arms? You cannot have a chicken without
an egg, see this point! So I gave up the honor when the NRA started caving in
to idiots that lived in fear, instigated by political paranoia chickens, when the
faction that remained loyal to the NRA started seeing double and jeopardy it
was. A long-standing tradition as old as the U.S. Constitution was becoming a
political junky monster, yes so true that all good things come to an end. And
that is when Wayne Lapierre started haunting this once dedicated American
patriotic icon, like taking a wrecking ball to a structure still strong but
razed to rebuild an eyesore. Today, the NRA is truly Un-American, as it caters
to a movement that is destructive upon Democracy. Our so-called “Democracy” is
changing, as this nation’s sovereignty is no longer consistent with “Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” for all. Wealth hoarding is destroying
US. And it is wealth that has taken over the mission of the NRA. “We the
Patriots” are out-numbered by the mighty $$$. And like a virgin, the original
grandstanding NRA mission and its once unique message, raped away so with it the
Patriotic virginity and then it went downhill, the NRA pimped out for profit
driven political ecstasy. Just yesterday the NRA spoke-wheel Wayne Lapierre was
at the CPAC and was quoted:
“I promise you this…NRA
will speak out louder than before. Let’s be clear, we are never talking about
an armed resistance against the socialist corruption of government. We are
always talking a resistance armed with the United States Constitution and the
Bill of Rights of our country.”
To broadcast “we
are never talking an armed resistance against the socialist corruption of
government”, that is a very weakling statement for conservative
capitalism. Analyze it. Let’s say that Bernie Sanders did win the election, he
is a “Socialist Democrat”, and it appears no matter how bad or sad the
“Socialist Democrat” agenda may cave in the “Democracy”, Wayne’s statement is a
but for a wet noodle without any wall sticking enthusiasm. So with that
statement of record, it appears that the NRA has reneged upon its goodwill as
the “Right To Bear Arms” ambassador of the 2nd Amendment and is
satisfied as its weapon of choice that of “Free Speech”. Can you hear me now?
And why this verbal demonstration to protect the “Socialist Government” against
any “armed resistance”, because the NRA today is a COWARD. The Wayne’s World NRA
is of a Mobius Strip mentality, saying one thing and 360-degress away just the
opposite. Wayne’s World, it is just pussy talk and those that cheer him on are
not listening to what he is saying, this pathetic message from the New Age NRA,
that it supports a “Socialistic Government” and so do I! Said and done, it
would only be a matter of time before the NRA got back to its roots, maybe that
time has come.
