One man makes a cogent argument about gun control and the 2nd Amendment:

Because he’s “been there” in Cuba.

Because he knows what freedom is, as well as what one experiences absent freedom.  And listen to what he says about the foundational reason for the 2nd Amendment itself: not to protect “hunting” or “sport shooting,” but to protect citizens and provide defense from the government itself.  Wouldn’t a nice Barrett .416 keep its value now, eh?  In truth, ever more efficient than the Barrett M82 .50 cal?

Idealistic Leftists operating in the fog of isolation and emotion have no concept of an experience other than that which occurs daily in front of their faces.

Time and again American Leftists learn nothing from the past.  Truly, in possession of what I term Historical Alzheimers.

Perhaps a bit of refreshment from Teddy Roosevelt is in order:

“We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.

“But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . .

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.”
