I believe that the language we use to discuss gun rights has been orchestrated to help in the process of disarming us.
“Gun Control” sounds friendly and reasonable when compared to “unconstitutionally infringing on our inalienable rights”
As well as this false idea that the second amendment is what gives us that right, it doesn’t and that was never the intention, it may seem like a trivial difference but it absolutely is not, and our law makers, Republicans, always, included, know that.
We need to stand up for ourselves, I can’t name a single politician in Washington that I could in good conscience tell you to trust.
To do that we must first recognize the enemies within our gates, the RINOs aren’t limp dicked Republicans who are too pussy to fight, they know what they’re doing they’re willing participants in this authoritarian takeover.
You are right, "control" sounds as if you are corralling wild dogs, instead of rendering a normal upstanding man helpless.
If you wouldn't de-claw a cat, why would you de-gun a man. Everything in nature has a way to defend itself.
And it's culture, not machines. People hurt each other very well with rocks, before the invention of guns, or even metal blades.
We are in an era of advancing technology and deteriorating culture.
But culture is more important.
If there were two societies, one with excellent culture and bad science, and another one with excellent science and bad culture, which one would you want to live in?
The word "infringed" is interesting. They could have said "shall not be removed." Or destroyed. Or abridged. It would have been simpler language. But they used this odd word. A fringe means an edge, as opposed to a middle. They meant it must not even be nibbled away at the edges.
This is directly caused by Republicans being controlled opposition. We adopt their language, and their language is conditioned to put us on the losing political side.
Yes, it was produced by the enemies of reason. Basically pilpul.
This kind of thinking is the same reason John Money chose the word "gender" aka "gene-der" for the allegedly mutable characteristic of biological sex, because it's the least appropriate word.
When you pile up lies into the meaning of words, it's even more of a struggle to extricate yourself from the brainwashing.
I was unfamiliar with the term "pilpul". It fits this discussion, I think.
They have legions of "scholars" who get paid to sit around and come up with this garbage.
That's why I keep pushing back. To win this culture war, we also need to reclaim the language.
One side-effect is that this is a very good red-pill vector in some company. When you can show how the language has been intentionally distorted, always in the same direction, and then ask "why".....you can sometimes strike a chord.
Wow, thank you for that insight. It just occurred to me from your post that the 2A specifically points out that individuals are inherently born with that right, and the 2A only means to protect that already inherant right from being trampled on.
Lest anyone forget, Gun rights are women's rights. I really have a problem with the left claiming feminism and women's rights, and follow it up with speaking on the other side of their mouths and denounce the ability for a woman, who biologically is at a disadvantage to a male, to have a force multiplier and great equalizer available to defend against a physically superior attacker.
You want equity, so that there is equality in outcomes, right? THat means allowing those that through some societal or biological disadvantage in starting points should be given extra help to achieve equal outcomes.
Excellent point.

The question answer itself.
Fairly certain the word “control” isn’t in the second amendment. They can get bent.

Yep, my point exactly, they know what they are doing, liberals think they understand conservatives because they’ve watched Fox News before...
Ever ask yourself why there’s only one “mainstream” (might as well say state-controlled) conservative media channel?
They do this with much of these discussions.
"Protect our Democracy" is my favorite example.
Calling themselves "liberals" is another.
The whole confusion between negative and positive "rights" is intentional.

Give all women guns!
If god didn't want us to have guns, why did he invent the AR15? Checkmate.
