If you engage a die-hard anti-gunner in a fact-based debate on the right to keep and bear arms, you eventually get to the point where you see their foundational belief: guns are icky. It’s a strange pivot point for an anti-pistol protagonist, but understandable given her social milieu. Glasser’s obvious (to us) mischaracterization of the pro-gun position make me wonder if she’s living in a left-leaning anti-gun echo chamber, where feelings trump rational thought. Glasser argument so far: I needed a gun and … guns aren’t that bad! They’re fun! People on the pro-gun side of the debate know that shooting is fun.
That thrill at the range translates to confidence outside of it. The “I am woman hear me roar,” thrill I’ve gotten the few times I shot an Uzi, AK, or even a Glock is enough to leave a tremble running up my arms (though in reality, that’s likely just kickback).īut the emotional component here is huge. I’m a bleeding-hearted, left-leaning liberal and I get a cheap, easy thrill out of shooting my little. Here’s the truth about guns that no one, on either side of the debate, wants to tell you: shooting them is fun. You’d think that the following paragraphs would complete the narrative, indicating her light bulb moment awareness of government’s limitations and the need for self-reliance. Glasser’s realization that the police were no help lead her to buy a gun to protect herself. I checked it multiple times while at work if I was out of town, the first thing I did in the morning, and last thing I did at night, was check on my house.
I eventually added cameras, and I could see the feed from them on my phone. I got a dog, though he is more likely to lick someone to death than bite him. I took every precaution I could think of before buying a gun. “Workers at the house lately,” just made me follow the cable repairman around like a crazy person. “Any angry ex-boyfriends” was only a reminder that I had none worth noting. Burglars invaded her house five times.Īs the little slips of paper with police report numbers on them piled up, I became familiar with the questions detectives would ask when they learned of my prior break-ins. Glasser’s journey into firearms ownership started in a familiar place: criminal victimization. More to the point, did purchasing a gun ownership really change Glasser’s politics, turning her “purple”? More generally, is gun ownership a gateway drug for conservative principles?
Support the party that want to take away your gun? Uh, OK. what? Despite the Democratic Party’s official anti-gun party platform and the “blue dot” Progressive movement’s relentless attack on gun rights, Ms. Liberals believe in mandatory recycling, pervasive and comprehensive social services, and amnesty for “undocumented Americans.” They believe government is responsible for its citizens’ welfare and tackling the causes of lawlessness as aggressively as its manifestations. They do not believe that the government should remove or discourage personal responsibility or reward lawlessness.
#Gun facts liberas cannot accept free
It’s how government implements “these things” that separates the two political camps.Ĭonservatives believe in free market solutions for recycling, limited and effective social services, and legal immigration. Glasser is being disingenuous when she suggests that she had to defend recycling, social services and immigration around her “red friends.” Conservatives also believe in recycling, social services and immigration. Setting aside the question of abortion, Ms.
