By Dean Weingarten<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In 2012, nearly four years ago, after the shooting at Sandy Hook, the future of the Republic and the Constitution looked dim.\u00a0 We had seen a President who disdained the Constitution, who flaunted his power, who had the media on his side and a Congress that conspired with him, be re-elected.\u00a0 This happened in spite of numerous scandals that should have resulted in his impeachment.<\/p>\n It appeared the seeds of severe European type gun control were going to pass Congress.\u00a0 Leaders among Second Amendment supporters were grim.\u00a0 Some said that we could not win. Some claimed that the best we could do was to\u00a0 compromise and hope to mitigate the damage.\u00a0 They were wrong.\u00a0 It took enormous hard work.\u00a0 It took determination and guts.\u00a0 But we won.<\/p>\n The Gun Owners of America were steadfast.\u00a0 The NRA held firm.\u00a0 No more infringements on the Second Amendment.\u00a0 Tens of millions of activists across the nation made our case in emails, tweets, essays, comments, and discussion boards.\u00a0 We sent overwhelming numbers of phone calls and emails to our representatives.\u00a0 We were right and we won. No more infringements were passed in Congress.\u00a0 A couple of Democrat states, financed with Bloomberg money, fortified with dirty tricks, passed some evil measures in a couple of legislatures.\u00a0 Patriots have steadfastly refused to comply.\u00a0 In a dozen other states, Second Amendment freedoms are being restored.<\/p>\n Now we face another daunting battle.\u00a0\u00a0 This time, the odds have improved. We removed some weak sisters in the Congress who claimed to be on our side.\u00a0 The President who wants us disarmed has seven months in office, not another four years.\u00a0 The presumed Republican nominee, Donald Trump, has made support of the Second Amendment a major theme in his campaign.\u00a0 Just as important, the old media cartel has been weakened.\u00a0 Many people see how it has been advancing its agenda with lies and through manipulation. It is not as hard for a majority to understand how much we have been lied to and mislead.\u00a0 For the first time in 50 years, a majority of Americans equate guns with safety instead of fear.\u00a0 Since 2012, 50 million guns have been added to the private stock in the United States.<\/p>\n It makes absolutely no sense, after a successful Islamic terror attack that killed 49 people and wounded 53 more, to call for the disarmament of Americans. Yet that is exactly what Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton are calling for.<\/p>\n The rifles they want to take from us are precisely those most protected by the Constitution. Rifles that are the most useful for spontaneous citizen militias, as expected by the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n They are the type of firearm that is least used to murder.\u00a0 Twice as many people are killed with hands and feet as are killed with rifles in the United States.\u00a0\u00a0 Of all the murders in the United States, only 2% are committed with rifles.\u00a0 Sport utility rifles, that the President and the Democrat nominee want to ban, are only a fraction of those.\u00a0 They are about 10-20 percent of the rifles in the country, and are increasing in popularity daily.<\/p>\n Sport utility rifles are the most popular rifles in the last 10 years.\u00a0 They are selling like Ice Cream on a hot August day in Florida.\u00a0 They are semi-automatics, similar to rifles that have been sold for a hundred years. They are the rifles that the present administration and Democrat candidate want to take from you.<\/p>\n It is time to fight; not with rifles but with words.\u00a0 I pray that we never have to fight with the rifles.\u00a0 It is far better if we win with words. We have the facts, the culture, and the Constitution on our side.\u00a0 We are winning this fight, but we have to fight if we are going to win.\u00a0 Similar to the horror attack in Orlando, if we do not fight back we lose.<\/p>\n You can and must join the fight.\u00a0 See an article that claims that guns are not useful for self defense?\u00a0 Make a comment.\u00a0 There are plenty of facts available on the Internet for you to use.\u00a0 Hear that your Congresscritter is waffling? Let them know that you will not tolerate it.<\/p>\n Be polite; it empowers your words more than cussing or other angry rhetoric.\u00a0\u00a0 See that an entertainer or commercial enterprise has bowed down to political correctness and the two minute hate of Second Amendment supporters?\u00a0 Let them know that you will not support them.\u00a0 Be polite.\u00a0 It is a force multiplier.<\/p>\n Use sarcasm, cartoons, humor, and satire.\u00a0 Our opponents need to be laughed at.<\/p>\n Use social media to spread the truth.\u00a0 Do not let the disarmists take over the means of communication, as they have in the past.<\/p>\n Yes, it is a tough fight.\u00a0 Yes, our adversaries have money, power, the major media, and the power of fraud and lies.<\/p>\n We can beat them.\u00a0 We have done it before.\u00a0 But, we will not beat them if we do not fight!<\/p>\n Definition of\u00a0 disarmist <\/a>
