Gun Rights Versus Gun Culture- Patriots Vs Government
This is a follow up on my previous article, here.
There is another aspect I did not cover in the previous article. Which is how many gun nuts who espouse the Second Amendment call themselves “patriots” and claim to support everything American. They claim to support the government, yet express constant fear of the same government.
How does that work, exactly?
One thing you hear from these “patriots” is how they fear the government coming to take their guns. Not any other property. Not imprisoning them. Not starving them. Not taking their children. Just taking their guns.
Some will claim they fear everyone being herded into camps. What you don’t hear is who will be manning those camps. Would it be Liberal Progressives, who object to the current prison population? Maybe the pussy hatters, who have no identifiable policies?
Here’s one of the biggest problems with their fear. I am a nurse and have been working in prisons for about a year now. I can tell you without question that most prison guards are Conservatives who are also.. gun nuts. They would be the first ones fighting against any such laws placing restrictions on gun laws. So, if they were imprisoned, who would be their guards? BTW, I have to mention that prisons are having a very hard time recruiting officers, so much so that they are recruiting new HS graduates.
