Educating gun owners is exactly what I'm trying to do here. Some TFL members, who once criticized my posts, that have taken the time to check out some recommended links, texts, and periodicals, no longer criticize them.
Now it may sound like conspiracy theory to someone who hasn't studied it, but I assure you that until you know just who your enemies are, and what they have in store for you, you couldn't possibly be prepared to prevent the inevitable. Additionally, I can assure you, that I expend equal amounts of energy on educating myself as well as educating others.
What is ultimately frustrating, is when fellow gunowners/enthusiasts discount the validity of a well planned consipracy behind historic and current events, without first checking the links and connections for themselves. It's equivalent to buying into the official line on the Kennedy assination, or Waco, or OKC, or Chinese campaign contributions, or the Federal Reserve, or the true objective of gun control. None of the offical stories hold water upon close examination, but they're all interrelated.
We (gunowners) are not being attacked by politicians and media talking heads because the gun issue makes them popular/gets higher ratings. We are being attacked because an armed citizenry will prevent the inevitable from happening. Behind all of the rhetorical puke lies an agenda to disarm us all. If you need a hint as to what is inevitable, read the UN Global Disarmament text.
