The media and anti gun nuts try to paint every gun owner as crazed gun toting idiots that can't wait to pull the trigger everyday. Mom walks into food lion with her two young kids and here comes some guy with a gun tucked in his waistband. She remembers all that crap on tv. What she going to think?
Yep, Lets also include violent video games ( both sides pleading the 5th on this ) in which a LOT of parents use game systems as an "Electronic Babysitter" coupled with crap on tv ~ cable , etc.
Now lets consider the Lack of History ~ Civics being taught which further trashes a ZERO or Reference Point as to how - why America is America and how this nation came to exist.
With no or very little (of even Basic) History an average person would very easily think a person with a firearm is to be distrusted ~ feared because of the years of mental conditioning video games, tv shows / movies and what news(?) is being reported ( or NOT) .
With college students and other people in our society willfully promoting and demanding that statues be removed / destroyed because it hurts their feelings(?) truly do not understand what Freedoms they currently enjoy and are Blindly destroying their own future Freedoms to some Leftest Mantra wanting everyone to feel good.
Some will state that these college educated students / graduates know their history and I submit that probably a small few do , but the vast majority do not fully understand or appreciate even the basic history of how America came to be.
This is to include why the Pilgrims left Europe.
They did so for two reasons, Freedom of Religion and escape an oppressive government.
Sound familiar?
Thus they have NO Zero Point and do not ( and can not ) fully understand why we have the 2A, let alone the BORs as a whole, period.
This is especially holds true when Leftest teachers ( yes I mean k ~ 12 & college ) and the media, GNN (or the "Goebbels News Network") spin, misreport, don't report accurately. ( in case anyone wonders,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels ).
The media is also promoting the 2A is outdated and implying it is for hunting.
LoL, the only hunting ( if you will ) it is meant for (at the time it was drafted and approved) were "Red Coats" , simple as that.
Sound Harsh?
That's part of our history, Factual.
Ironically when "The Left " states something like >"We don't need weapons of war on our streets"< I will fully agree.
So if that's their position don't do something like a forced firearm confiscation and I will add that all of the Dem's wanting to be POTUS should fully understand our U.S. Constitution and IF(?) any of them truly do they know Damn Well what they are claiming they ( any of them ) are going to do is illegal, simple as that, period! Thus they will continue to portray gun owners as evil, period.
The left is pissed because Hillary was not installed in the Oval Office and it is delaying their agenda for at least 4 more years.
The Power Brokers know full well that Lots of Older Americans are armed ( 2A) and is a major inconvenience and deterrent to their plans, period.
The Left is and has been destroying all parts of the 1st Amendment as well.
Younger Americans ( vast majority ) don't know or care about our history because they have what they want and are happy so when more >Feel Good< talk is is distributed by the Left they will generally follow and I will add, because they truly don't know any better!
In the future they will care when what ever they enjoyed is made unavailable, banned, or just taken away from them.
So, now where's their Freedom?
Sorta in the toilet?
So maybe you can understand why older people , hum,, vent?
Maybe not.
SO what to do to change mindsets?
Good question because there is a foundation the last two generations seem to be missing to have the ability to think about everything in Context, period.
I don't know your true intentions here on CFF.
Are you here out of concern for America's future?
Are you here to stir the pot and instigate unrest?
1) We have a people problem, not a gun, knife, truck problem.
2) If you are asking what to do, I believe we need to go back to basics and help teach others about the 2A.
I think everyone gets Tone Deaf with the phase "Right To Bear Arms" primarily because they really have no basic understanding to Zero Point that concept.
If you want to contribute, I have included basic material below and Please share with anyone that wants to learn. This way whether they agree or not they will have the reasoning behind the 2A.
I have also included links for 5 short vids on youtube and to link to them just add WWW, this way this post is not full for videos.
