When your entire agenda is build on a foundation of lies and misconceptions, you have to continually guard against the truth getting out.
The gun control movement has always had to suppress uncomfortable truths. Places where their agenda has been mostly achieved, whether Chicago, New York City, DC, or overseas, continue to have high levels of violence. The gun bans haven't worked and the law abiding citizens are left defenseless.
Yet the lies continue.
“Anybody who thinks that the Obama administration is going to take away the gun rights of law-abiding citizens is paranoid,” says Peter Hamm, communications director of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Speaker of the House, and the U.S. Attorney General all have a background of strong support for gun control laws. Until recently, gun control proposals were even listed on the White House website. Yet, we're "paranoid" for thinking those politicians haven't given up on their anti-freedom viewpoints.
The truth is, they're biding their time until it can do the least damage. After the November 2010 elections, we'll see if they continue to conceal their true colors.
The gun grabbers also say we're being paranoid for concern about rising crime rates as the economy worsens and cash strapped cities are forced to law off police officers, yet the headlines continue to be filled with stories of violent criminal attacks.
Criminals don't turn in their guns and give up a life of crime when a gun "buyback" is held. They don't turn around and walk away when the bank they're planning to rob posts a "no guns" sign, and they don't even think twice about breaking any other of the more than 20,000 gun laws we have in this country.
The truth is that those who oppose gun ownership continue to do so. The recent boom in sales of guns and ammunition spoke loud and clear that the People do not support that agenda. All the propaganda in the world isn't going to change the facts. Gun control is a house of cards, don't believe the hype otherwise.
