U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- As I watch some people work themselves into indignant, self-righteous outrage over the fact that others are storming their statehouses to demand freedom, I can’t help but smile. This is the way it should be. This is the way it was intended. The problem is, those who choose to hand their freedom over to the government for perceived safety will continue to label these Americans as terrorists.
Government Groupies look down their noses at Patriots because they recognize them as people who are willing to stand up for their rights while they know, they, themselves are not.
What’s the difference between the left and the right? The answer comes down to a very simple concept. Those on the left are willing to give up their freedom for safety. Those on the right are willing to give up their safety for freedom. Our brothers and sisters that we see on the steps of our capitol buildings are doing exactly what they should be doing. Our Founding Fathers knew there would come a day when the government would need to be reminded who they work for. Will it take the corona-crisis to remind people how much freedom they’ve given up? For some, maybe.
When we talk to people on the left about this, they tell us that we must do whatever we can to be safe. They can look you straight in the eye without any acknowledgment of the freedom lost as the state representatives they voted for literally put them on home detention. They accept this without question. They are able to do this because, through a collective media effort, they are given a view of the world through a lens of fear and hatred. Fear for their own lives and hatred for those who won’t conform to the herd mentality they have embraced. You will find the same is true with the way guns are portrayed in America. Coincidence?
So why is it that people on the right can no longer tolerate the corona shut down? Why is it that people on the right are storming their statehouses to demand an end to the corona fear campaign? The answer is simple, they recognize when their rights are being violated and their freedom through independent entrepreneurship and free-market capitalism is being destroyed. Real Americans understand the importance of freedom and independence. They get why our founding fathers demanded it.
Logical thinking people understand that virus precautions can be exercised without giving up civil rights.
Others would much rather put the government in control of their lives because a structured, controlled and regulated society makes them feel safe. I’m not even blaming them for it because to them, this makes sense. But I am pointing out the fact that their delusion of a government-controlled Utopian society will only lead to the destruction of America and complete loss of the freedom our Founders fought for.
Those Americans who are waking up to the corona-freedom-grab have become a fierce opposition to the political-left and its push for government control. This is why left-wing media is desperately pushing a “safety over freedom” narrative.
Fortunately, patriotism Has been bred into the majority of Americans. Regardless of the narrative, regardless of the fear campaign, and regardless of how much the left kicks and screams. Real Americans are fighting for the same exact thing our Founders fought for.
Our Founding Fathers are cheering on those Americans demanding freedom, while the media condemns them and spoon-feeds the fearful another dose of debilitating, self-righteousness.

1. I certainly don’t believe mayors and governors have any authority to require people to wear masks or stay home or tell us who or how many people we can let onto our property. 2. I’m going to wear a mask when I go to the store. I’m going to reduce the number of trips I make to the store. I’m not going to have people over. I give exactly zero craps what the government says about this. I make these decisions because I’m a responsible adult. When we can consider the risk much lower, I’ll lighten up, and that… Read more »
Some would rather security theater than dangerous freedom and liberty.
Next time you have a chance to speak to a LEO on an individual basis, ask him, or her what they’ll do when unconstitutional orders come done from above; Will they follow orders, or do what’s right?
throughout history, innumerable people who have given up their freedom to their governments for perceived safety have been slaughtered and it still happens today around the world. Americas is a unique place in the world, the Constitution and Bill of Rights give to the individual the power and freedom of their own destiny. leftists throughout that same history have devised plans to divide and control their subjects through class warfare and scare tactics. this lockdown is another iteration of that scheme. leftists love herd mentality/hive mind, but totally abhor herd immunity. the first has gotten us things like socialism, communism,… Read more »
Yesterday Sean Hannity was one of those, “people working themselves into indignant, self-righteous outrage over the fact that others are storming their statehouses to demand freedom while armed.” I know my “quote” is not what the author wrote but it is what he should have written and even perhaps what he meant to write. There are patriots and then there are those who play the part.
Slightly off topic, I’m sure, but this whole Covid-19 is truly a hoax. Check out Shiva4senate.com and learn a whole lot about what’s really going on. While you’re there, maybe if you are courageous enough, you’d like to sign his Petition to Trump to fire Fauci? Have you ever noticed the tension between Trump and that conman when they are doing the daily updates? Fauci is involved with all the things that we patriots don’t want going on in our country. Just think about it. Let’s see: The WHO, the CDC, The Gates, the Clintons, Chan Zuckerberg, Big Pharma and… Read more »
To those who whine (yes you Sean Hannity) that carrying long guns at a protest are meant to intimidate; I say Damn Right! One of the reasons for enumerating the RKBA in our Constitution is to protect against tyranny from any source, including our own government. Those politicians who have placed millions under house arrest need to be reminded of this fact. We only have freedom when government fears We The People. Our forefathers would already be slinging lead.
Left versus Right: The Left just wants to be cared for on the Government Plantation. The Right just wants to hunt the Government Plantation.
Oldman, the virus is no hoax, you’re living in the “state of denial.” Hundreds of people are dying daily; the old, the young, the healthy, the infirm. I’m an NRA life member. I was a Republican my entire adult life, until 2016. Trump doesn’t care about liberty, nor you or me. It’s all about his vanity, which we could live with if he wasn’t also lazy, incompetent, and a habitual liar. I’m also a retired U.S. history teacher. You should have paid more attention in civics class: while our natural rights are inalienable, they are not unlimited. Each is balanced… Read more »
Dan, I’m a 2A advocate, collector, NRA Life Member, OK2A Member and Disabled 15-year AF vet, and I’m “surprised” at your description of the situation. People ARMED PEOPLE PROTESTING SOCIAL-DISTANCING AGAINST VIRUS INFECTION/SPREAD MAKES NO SENSE!!! They’re conflating TWO issues, which makes them NO better than those who persecute us for our 2A beliefs! And WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD HIMSELF are these protestors grouping up so tightly and screaming at those doing their jobs? If any of them are carriers, a LOT of people are SCREWED. Yes, we SHOULD – we MUST protest abrogating our Constitutional rights, but… Read more »
