I Think The Carrying Of Loaded Firearms Should Be A Right

I am a Leftist in many aspects. However, one area of life and politics that i am rather conservative is guns. I believe in the 2nd amendment. For all the ways i complain about my country, from wage stagnation to unaffordable healthcare and education, to racism, etc, i am ultimately grateful that i live in a country where i, as well as my fellow citizens, are allowed to defend themselves against a potentially tyrannical government and/or any form of tyrannical activity or oppression. The 2nd amendment doesnt specifically give you the right to carry a gun, rather it recognizes a moral right to bear any form of arms against tyranny, and also recognizes your god given right to assemble a well trained group of ordinary fellow citizens to constantly keep each other safe and armed in order to preserve the security of them and their country and freedoms.

My Leftist buddies hate when we start talking about guns, because then i start getting accused of being a closet Republican, which really hurts me, but i dont believe that politics and morals have to come in a package deal...If you meet someone and talk politics, and the first thing they say is something Leftist or Right-wing, i dont believe in assuming their party affiliation right away. Often times thats the case, i get it, but im just not that immediately judgmental, mind you, i used the word IMMEDIATELY. After ive heard someones opinions on EVERY ISSUE, i can get somewhat rude if there is a lot that we disagree with, but i dont judge based off the first thing i hear. But, unfortunately, my fellow Leftists suffer from this problem more than anyone else. So, no matter if you hate me by reading this and not liking that i admit i am a Leftist, find solace in knowing that at least on one issue, im not. Gun Control, according to who Leftists want, would be tyranny, it punishes law abiding gun owners and carriers for the actions of inhumane people who DO NOT CARE what the law is. A dedicated terrorist, domestic or foreign, is going to allocate their weapons however they can.

If guns were outlawed for public or legal purchase, then they would simply go to the black market. All gun control would do is disarm the good guys while the bad guys are able to run amok. I hope gun control advocates can please understand this, or they simply dont care about the 2nd amendment, and they will risk letting only the bad guys have the guns in order to disarm the people so they can continue to overall tyrannical agenda. Guns are part of how our country was started obviously. The battle of Lexington and Concord started because the British soldiers were sent out to find the compounds of the leading revolutionaries and take their weapons, as well as kidnap the top rebel leaders at the compounds. Because the rebels had guns already, and because they stood together in solidarity and werent going to let the British disarm them, the battle started that night, and the rest is known from there. So, tho i am a solid political lefty in every other issue you can imagine, this issue here is one that i side with my opponents. More than likely, that one agreement is not enough to unite people like me and their political foes, but hopefully if we start trying to recognize that we can disagree on A LOT of issues and still be allies, the sooner we can strengthen the overall morale of our country.
