Please, GOP pundits, stop trying to defend why people need guns. It is not the job of 535 people in Washington to decide what Americans need and then ensure that is all we have.
I’m sick of hearing people on the left telling us we only need a certain type of gun with a certain type of ammo, or that the “rich” don’t need that much money, or people don’t need big cars. I am also tired of people on the right being sucked into that argument. When we argue why we think we need something it becomes a fait accompli that it is the right of the government to decide what it will allow us to have unless we can convince them otherwise.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that it is the job of the federal government confiscate or band things they think we don’t need. This ignorance of the Constitution by our elected officials has got to stop! If not, we will find ourselves defending to our servants in Washington, why we need cars that go faster than 75 miles an hour, or why we need a recreational fishing boat, or more than one TV.
GOP, stop fighting these little skirmishes and hunker down around the Constitution.
