Protecting A Way of Life

I recently got into a discussion with someone about the indoctrination of a generation. While this may read like conspiracy theory, I assure you, is provable fact. Let us start at the beginning, it’s WWII, and the wave of communism has begun. Top scientists, Hollywood stars, powerful people all begin to go to meetings about the rise of communism. The United States fights back, while others begin to fall. Within 30 years after WWII the landscape of the world began to change. Let us go back a little ways first.

The Idea: In 1848 Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels publish the very first Communist Manifesto. The argument was that history was driven by class struggles, and called for workers to overthrow capitalism and establish a classless society.

1917 Lenin led the Bolsheviks to overthrow Russia. Russia becomes the first communist state, later to be known as USSR.

During WWII the idea of communism spreads and people began to become either sympathizers or advocates. The idea of communism spreads after WWII into Poland Eastern Germany, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Albania. 1945-1950. Later China would fall to another revolution led by Mao Zedong.

1948 North Korea falls, 1954 Vietnam, Cuba 1959, Laos 1975, Cambodia 1975. Berlin Wall goes up August 13, 1961separating East and West Germany.

When the wall fell 600,000 to 700,000 fled into West Germany. To date it is believed tens of thousands have fled communist countries. Comparatively, the number of those who have fled capitalist societies for communist are by order of magnitudes smaller. So, why is that?

The idea of communism on paper sounds good, collective good, government helping everyone equally, but the problem is it doesn’t factor in two major phycological factors, greed, and laziness. Everyone gets paid the same, no matter how much or little someone works. The government lives like fat cats, while everyone below it is turned into subjects. Someone’s drive to better their lives is squashed by the government. Communism is appealing because it eliminates the need to work hard to get the same as someone who gives it their all. Why work hard for education, or healthcare when the government will just give it to you?

Today, we are experiencing the closest thing to an existential crisis as a nation than we have in over a hundred years. Not since the civil war, have we seen such a change in ideology. Today, the idea of the Democratic Socialist of America is spreading, and winning elections across the country. Instead of revolution those who follow communism here are simply voting it in. What was the quote all those years ago? While no one can be specifically credited to the phrase ‘useful idiots’, it was used during the cold war by journalists and politicians to describe people within democratic countries who sympathized with Communism. What we have seen throughout history are those of the left leaning ideals have been targeted by ideologues throughout time. When a few loud voices begin yelling, a certain type of people listen. During the revolution in Iran, we see exactly what happens when a few ‘useful idiots’ are used to enact change. In 1979, in order for the Islamic takeover of Iran to happen, the left leaning college students helped to overthrow the existing government. Unfortunately for those people, they would later be murdered or imprisoned. Why are young college students the target of radical ideals? Young people often seek to improve society, fight injustice, find meaning in life, and be a part of something larger than themselves. The world tends to see young adults seeking community, purpose, friendship, and identity in college. To put it simply, college students are impressionable. They believe they will be the ones who will change the world. Sounds a little like the sin of pride, doesn’t it? In fact, it is this pride, it is this arrogance that is preyed upon. Why would two organization that would appear to have little to do with one another align themselves? The Communists, and Islamists? I believe it falls within the old saying, ‘the enemy of my enemy, is my friend.’ Only one will reign supreme at the top, and one will fall, after the west falls. Make no mistake, the west will fall. How do I know this? It’s prophesied to fall. When we look to the one world order of Revelation, it seems very socialist “Islamist” to me. Now, since no one knows the date in which this happens, one cannot say how long we fight back before the fall. How do I know only one will come out on top? Look at Iran in 1979. When the leftist helped the Ayatollah to take control, later these leftists were all rounded up and slaughtered or imprisoned. We saw the same thing in China in 1957. The Anti-Rightest campaign. The trap, during a brief hundred flowers campaign, Mao encouraged intellectuals to voice criticism of the government. Of course, liberals stepped forward with open arms to do this. But, when sufficient time had passed, Mao reversed course and over 550,000 to 1 million ‘intellectuals’, academics, and liberal democratic leaders were labeled as enemies of the state. They were accused, fired, humiliated, sent to labor camps, and led to suicide. What was it Solomon said? “Nothing new under the sun!” It would seem the movement ‘queers for Palestine’ shouldn’t work. If you were a queer person in Palestine you’d be thrown from a roof. So, why does it work? Here in America, we have freedoms, so you can say what you want, no matter how stupid it may be. You can be as stupid as you want, and nothing will happen to you, except maybe hand your way of life over to the slaughter of your own life. Why would Muslims partner with such people? The interview with “Muhammad Tewhidi and Dinesh D’Souza” explained that when Tewhidi was an extremist he and any other radical extremist would vote left. Why? They (the left) did not stand on principle. “They (the right) come with principles, that’s not someone that can be brainwashed.” The extremists use the left, for all the same reasons it’s been using the left for over a hundred years now. Nothing new, and nothing has changed, but this time, America is the last line of defense. We have gone to the worlds rescue for over two hundred years, and now, now that Europe has fallen to the Islamic takeover from immigration, now, they are focused here. Much like Sauron and Saruman teaming up to fight Gondor. If Gondor falls, the rest of Middle Earth Falls.

What does any of this have to do with the second amendment? Everything. The second amendment as I stated in a recent Blog Post “So, why do we have the second amendment? It’s there to safeguard against government overreach. It’s not there for hunting, it’s there to keep the government in check. It’s the fourth check n balance. Our government a 3-tiered government each checking one another, and we the militia are the check against the government to ensure our rights are not taken away by those who would do so, likely under the false flag of ‘protection’.” (Thearrowpreacher, 2A, 2026)https://thearrowpreacher.com/2026/05/03/the-2nd-amendment-and-why-its-important/ As I spoke in detail in that post about what the second is important, here we will revisit some aspects and expand others. The second amendment sets us apart in the world, as we see from other countries falling to Islamification. People are now getting arrested in other ‘free’ nations for speaking in the public square. Young boys being stabbed to death and police watch as he bleeds out right in front of them. Rapes have gone up 150% over the last ten years. We in the united states have actually witnessed a decline in violent crime, with the same style migration to what’s happening in Europe, why could this be? We see what happens when liberal judges preside over a violent offender’s case. Small sentences, or even releases occur, putting the offender back out into the street. The difference here is not our justice system, for it would appear liberal judges want to continue letting criminals onto the streets on purpose. The difference is the American’s ability to defend ourselves.

After doing extensive research into the firearm culture, I found that there are nearly 393 million guns in America, more guns than we have people. We have roughly 266 million adults in this country. This doesn’t even measure children. We know that not every American owns firearms, which puts the number at roughly 76-80 million gun owners. So that’s roughly five guns per gun owner. That sounds like a lot right? You’d be correct, it is a lot of firearms. Now, let’s do some fun numbers crunching. How many homicides are there per year? In 2024, which showed a sharp decline in homicides, there were 15,795 homicides. For the sake of argument, let’s look at 2023, 22,830 total homicides. Firearm homicides 17,927. There was an estimated gang-related firearm homicides of 2300-2700. Domestic/intimate partner 1500-2000, Acquaintance arguments (deaths) 5000-6500, and other unknown circumstances 4000-6000 deaths. Comparatively, the CDC just reinstated its statistics on defensive gun use in America. 65,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses in America. If we look at every firearm homicide, regardless of the reason for the homicide, we end up with around 3.6 defensive gun uses for every firearm homicide. Now, let’s break this down a little further. While the 13/50 saying is an over simplification of numbers, many people have heard that 13% of the population commit 50% of the crime. IF we take a more liberal look into these defensive gun uses, lets instead of looking at the 65,000 number, lets look instead at the more liberal middle ground 500,000 defensive gun uses. This changes the numbers dramatically. Now, it’s 22 defensive gun uses for every homicide. 500,000/22,800. But if we look at simply gun for gun, it’s 500,000/ 17900 (firearm deaths) at 28 defensive gun uses for every firearm homicide. But, let’s break it down further. Let’s remove gang actively (Note: not all gun crime in cities is labeled as gang related even though it is). If we remove the roughly 2500 gang homicides this puts us at 500,000/15,400 = 32 defensive gun uses for every non gang firearm homicide. With so many firearms to people ratio, doesn’t it seem like if guns were the problem we’d have more, I don’t know… gun crimes or deaths? Not only does the 2A keep you from being a victim, it keeps the government at bay from becoming tyrannical. Since such a small population has all the guns in the country, if that section of the population were the majority of the problem, crime rates would be much higher. Those with guns aren’t trying to take control of the country either, not by force anyway. If those with guns were trying to take over, they would. Those with firearms largely just want to be left alone by others, by the government, to live a peaceful, free life. Why would the government want to ban firearms, when in reality, firearms are not the threat they claim them to be. The number prove that compared to automobile accidents, drugs, and other causes. Drug overdoses in 2024 was 79,384. Way more than all homicides, and yet the Democrats left the southern border open, and let drugs pour into this country. If they truly cared about lives, they would focus on the highest causes of death, before the smaller number of deaths. From what we’ve seen they focus on firearms because a disarmed population is an easily controlled population. We see states with loose gun control laws have a lower homicide rate, compared to the higher controlled states. Gun control is simply control, and if you get rid of that you can limit speech, you can limit religion, the simple facts are if the 2nd falls, the 1st falls with it.

Why the left has become so dangerous? Over the years the left has tried to control slavery, segregation, healthcare, education, gun control, abortion, now adding in the pride community, the indoctrination of your children. The left has had control over much of the major cities for decades. Those cities are the most dangerous, and most expensive cities in the U.S. to live in. Growing up, I grew up not far from Detroit. During that time period I was at a liberal school system. I didn’t know it till later in my life that I myself was being indoctrinated. “I grew up in a school that taught me lies as truth, led me down the halls of liberalism, stuff like climate change that acid rain was going to kill us all by destroying crops, and burning us all. Rising waters would sink Florida by 2010. The Bible was wrong and the Big Bang was proven, evolution was fact, proven and accepted by all, except it wasn’t. I believed them when teachers told me that the right wanted children to starve, the right wanted to destroy the environment, and prevent families from getting welfare they desperately needed. The truth was not as simple as I was led to believe. The fact was, during those years the same kind of teaching was definitely a one-sided teaching method, intended to indoctrinate young impressionable kids, who trusted their teachers to tell them the truth. With no one at home willing or able to talk to me about political matters, science, or anything else, I fell for the lies.” (Thearrowpreacher, Different, 2026) https://thearrowpreacher.com/2026/06/16/why-im-different/ One truth that I have found is hunters pay more into conservation efforts than most liberals do. Conservation efforts keeps land pristine for the environment, and hunting.

I watched for years, as Detroit fell to darkness under the control of the Democrats. Why were their policies not working in a single city? IF they didn’t work in a city, how could they possibly work on the national scale? I began asking that at a young age, and was fed lie after lie to pacify me. I have come to see the truth; I was lied to as a child by a school system designed to indoctrinate me. Today we see this indoctrination now encompassing the entire pride agenda, mutilating children, confusing kids, and pushing more lies. Why do this? Distraction and change. When we fundamentally change the mindset of a generation it makes that generation ripe for the taking. “We are using rhetoric that dehumanizes an entire group of people in this country, and attacks against conservatives are on the rise as people view them as Nazi’s, fascist, and evil. One main function of the communist party is to, by their own admission make all religions superfluous, and communism supersedes them. Ideological Subversion: It takes 15-20 years to demoralize a people. In an interview with Yuri Bezmenov a former KGB operative, he discusses the process already happening in America. In the communist goals of 1963 we see two goals 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy as promiscuity as ‘normal, natural, healthy.” “27 Infitrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.” “28 Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.” (Thearrowpreacher, 2A, 2026). The whole of the west has been under attack since the early 1900’s, and in a very real way we’ve been in a cold war ever since. We didn’t realize just how dangerous the Communists, and Islamists would be. We are coming up on the 25^th anniversary of 9/11 and when I heard the term “Never Forget” I assumed we wouldn’t. Now just a mere 25 years later, and we have. Not only have we forgotten, we handed our largest city, the city of ground zero, over to a radical sympathizer, Zoron Mamdani. We did forget. The liberals don’t care about safety, they care about control. If they cared for safety, they would put armed guards at schools. They would lower speed limits to limit child death in cars. They would be more focused on healthy foods to eliminate childhood obesity. They would address the growing mental health crisis in young people by not affirming and making mental illness worse, but actually address the root of the problem. If they actually cared about people they wouldn’t say black lives matter, unless you’re a conservative black man. Black lives matter unless it’s black on black crime. Black lives matter, till is a black baby in the womb. No uterus, no voice, unless you claim to be a woman, then you can be whatever you want because we can’t define a woman. Women empowerment, except for men in women’s sports taking spots for young girls. My body my choice, unless you force someone get an experimental drug which has now been deemed dangerous, if not you’re fired. AR-15 is too dangerous for you to have, unless you are a politician and you have private security. Truly the contradictions are endless. You’re a fascist if you want secure borders, while they create safe spaces to keep out anyone they don’t agree with. They preach about climate change except flying around in their private jets. They warn you about election interference of foreign countries, but shut down voter ID laws that would prevent it. They support body positivity unless you’re on the other side, then they’ll body shame you. They say that you’re intolerant, but ban any speaker that doesn’t agree with them. They call you racist except claim minorities are too dumb to get ID’s to vote. They took religion out of schools claiming indoctrination, but drag queen story hour is alright. They call you a science denier except, men can be women. They go to “No Kings” protest forgetting their party didn’t throw a primary for their presidential nominee, and they claim free speech except conservative voices shut down by the Biden administration and big tech social media platforms. They call Trump a dictator, but made people walk around with vaccine cards. They claim Trump is a dictator while having the right to protest in the streets and police don’t shoot them. They claim freedoms are being taken away but can’t specify which ones. They claim to want ICE gone, but don’t want the homeless encampments in their block, and won’t open their home to an asylum seeker. They claim to be the party of tolerance, except when they celebrate the death and murder of someone they disagree with. They cry about free speech, when they are faced with the consequences of their words, while simultaneously calling for anyone to be canceled whom they disagree with. They want socialism and healthcare for all but don’t want to raise their taxes to pay for it. They’ve elected mayors in Seattle, NYC, Irving California, Burlington Vermont. And more have been elected to higher congressional offices. And 42 state and local offices are now held by Muslims. We see what’s going on in Michigan, in Dearborn and surrounding areas. We see what’s happening in Minnesota. And yet this madness isn’t being contained, it’s spreading.

We’ve seen what liberalism does to countries throughout history, and we know how it can and will be exploited by those who push nefarious ideologies. They call Christian’s extremists while voting for people who support the death of thousands and supports the genocide of Christians. If America falls, no one is coming to our rescue. We must hold the line as long as we can. We must be ready to stand our ground. While I don’t suspect I could hold out long, not in my current health condition, I will never give in on my principles. What did Tewhidi say? He feared the conservative because they were principled. I will hold on to my faith. I will hold fast to truth, and not this new subjective truth, but objective truth. Men can appropriate a women’s life, but will never be a woman. I argued with someone about science recently, and I do believe in science, but only so far as what is actual science. I won’t take my science lesson from a party that believes men can get pregnant, that changes the name of mother and father, to birthing person, or chest feeding parent. The same party that denies life starts at conception, but to make their murder more palatable change the wording and definitions of things. They have dehumanized babies while at the same time saying if a man doesn’t pay child support he should be held accountable, but he doesn’t have a say if that baby should live. Now, we have Lindsey Clancy killing her children, and women are standing up in support of this murderer. The life of the unborn doesn’t matter, so where is the line? We have seen the real line, there isn’t one, life doesn’t matter. The party of the tolerant left is fairly supportive of murder, if you simply don’t like someone, or they are an inconvenience to you. A mother can kill her own children if it’s the mother doing it. This is sick, this is wrong, and this must be stopped. This evil must not be allowed to spread. We must stand firm on our faith. Stand firm in the midst of attacks, and the battles being waged right in front of us. We must protect our way of life. We must not give up our rights. We must not give up our elections. We must be louder, and more willing to push back on this evil rising without our walls. Let your voices be heard.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood” Truly we fight against ideals, a true hatred, a true evil. If we let go of the 2^nd Amendment, the 1^st and the rest will fall, it’s only a matter of time.

The 2nd Amendment and Why It’s Important

May 3, 2026July 12, 2026 thearrowpreacher1 Comment

The 2^nd Amendment and Why It’s Important

In April of 2006, while I was still serving in the Army, I had to go home to Michigan. A friend, and a classmate died from his injuries sustained while doing combat operations in Iraq. I had received word that the “Westboro Baptist Church” which was blasted all over the news for their disgusting protests at soldiers’ funerals, would be at Webber’s funeral. I was prepared to go to jail for punching a protestor in the face if necessary. I was a much different person back then. I was young and dumb. The Supreme Court (SCOTUS), ruled that they had a constitutional right to protest at a funeral, even if what they were saying was vial and disgusting. Back then I didn’t see the big picture of the constitution and the Bill of Rights. I was upset at what they were saying, and where they were saying it. I found it repulsive, but over time, I began to understand. Our rights are given to us by God, not government. Our Bill of Rights is there to tell government what they cannot infringe upon. Even if we don’t like something, that doesn’t change what is.

Colion Noir’s website says this “In 1776 the Musket was the AR-15 of its time, and when a Tyrannical government tried to take those Muskets away from us, we used those muskets to fight a revolutionary war for our freedom as a Country.

The founding fathers understood how vital the rifle was to maintaining this newly found freedom, so they enshrined our right to own it in our constitution in the form of the 2nd Amendment.

Now in 2019, the AR-15 is to us what the Musket was to the founding fathers in 1776.

Recently I have found many are upset surrounding the AR-15 still. But, let us ask ourselves why? I believe it’s quite simple. People are upset because the media and government tell them to be upset. In DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) we learn a technique called ‘fit the facts’. Do your emotions fit the facts of the situation. In 2024, the most recently compiled data points, only 401 murders were committed by rifles. This is all rifle types, not AR-15 specific. So, we can make a safe assumption, not all 401 deaths were the dreaded AR-15. This is out of the total murders committed of 20,162. Conservative estimates believe there are between 60,000 -70,000 defensive gun uses, meaning guns were used to stop crime or harm. No one likes to talk about these uses. Some broader research shows this number could be anywhere above 500,000. This wide range is because there is no database, and most prevented crime isn’t logged like crime is. Do the benefits outweigh the harm? This author believes it does.

We must be intellectually honest about these things. When the car was made, I don’t think Ford believed iterations of his invention would one day be used to kill many people worldwide in a single year. We believe there have been roughly 294 attacks between 200-2025, 11-12 per/year, killing roughly 100-300 per year. Because countries don’t keep track, it’s difficult to say. What can be seen however is more people are intentionally using vehicles to commit terrorist attacks. Would we take the same approach to vehicles as we do guns? No, obviously people aren’t thinking about banning trucks or vans. We are not looking to ban alcohol to prevent alcohol related fatalities both drunk driving, and other. Those deaths are also in the thousands a year. 11,904 deaths from alcohol impaired driving. There are an estimated 2.6 million deaths worldwide related to alcohol attributed deaths. Yet, we are not considering banning alcohol. The argument falls apart when someone says for guns ‘at least we’re doing something.’ Well, why are we not doing that for vehicles, or alcohol? In England they are looking to ban kitchen knives with points to show they are doing ‘something’. Australia and England have banned ninja swords, and Australia has now banned machetes. I don’t understand the machetes ban because of how useful it is in both camping, and just simple yard work. In reality, the bans that have been made, have made little to no difference.

The question then remains, where is the line? What freedoms is the average person willing to give up in the name of potential safety?

Benjamin Franklin once said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Now that I’m older I realize my problem during Webber’s funeral was I wanted to pick and choose from the constitution, rather than accepting the good and bad that came from rights.

Let’s think of this in a different way. You’re a police officer. You know someone is a bad guy and you know if you could just search their house, or car, you’ll find the evidence you need. But, you have to have a warrant to search. Sometimes the rules may get in the way of justice, but just because you don’t always like it, you still have to respect it. The constitution is the same.

There are approximately * About 76–83 million American adults own at least one firearm

* About 400–533 million firearms are privately owned in the United States. If guns were truly the problem….. we’d know it. Gun crime is a very small fraction of the total number of guns in the U.S. I have come to believe that firearms are hated, mostly by people who have never felt the fear of danger. Someone said to me recently that to them it seemed I was blaming victims of crime. That could not be further from the truth. In reality, I want no one to be a victim. I feel firmly that criminals do not fear the law. They do not fear jail. They do not fear the police. Because they do not have this fear, they feel they can commit crime at their leisure. I believe your only protection is not 911, but that you protect yourself. By the time 911 gets there the crime has already happened. You are responsible for your own safety, both in the home, and away from it. I want to ensure you have teeth to protect yourself from the predator that may try to hurt you. That being said, the 2^nd Amendment isn’t just for self-protection. I firmly believe because we’ve seen it in many places, Germany in the 1930’s, Canada, and England today, that the 1^st amendment (freedom of speech) is crumbling. People are being detained and arrested for simply sharing their beliefs and thoughts. You believe abortion is murder, you can now be arrested for offending someone. We saw during the Biden administration social media under the pressure of the government was burying anyone who spoke out against Covid-19 vaccines, or the Hunter Biden laptop. The government was telling social media companies to censure speech it deemed to be ‘fake news’, but would eventually be found out it was all true. So, why do we have the second amendment? It’s there to safeguard against government overreach. It’s not there for hunting, it’s there to keep the government in check. It’s the fourth check n balance. Our government a 3-tiered government each checking one another, and we the militia are the check against the government to ensure our rights are not taken away by those who would do so, likely under the false flag of ‘protection’. This is not new. We saw it happen in Cuba, Germany, Iran, N. Korea. Take away the guns, the government does whatever it wants and the people have no way to fight back.

I think many people who have negative feelings about firearms are generally those who have never been in a situation where they felt unsafe. Growing up, I lived not far from Detroit. I lived in constant fear. Every day on the news was rape, murder, arson, and it seemed never ending. As a young kid I always watched the news. I remember the Gulf War even though I was only 7 years old. I remember the Oklahoma City bombing at 9 years old. Every year at Halloween, the day before was called Devil’s Night, because people would light cars, buildings, and homes on fire. Sometimes they were abandoned, but sometimes they weren’t. We delt with a lot of gang violence, and it seemed the police were outmatched every day. Even though my school weighed heavily towards the Democrat party in its teaching, I had a strong feeling towards guns my whole life. It was the one thing I didn’t agree with Democrats on even in my elementary school years. I wondered growing up, how there could be so much animosity to an inanimate object that so many people relied on to do good with. How could Democrats hate guns, yet employ those with guns to keep them safe? How could democrat presidents have secret service with guns, for their safety, their family’s safety, but we citizens who live in dangerous neighborhoods can’t have anything to protect our families with. As a child this situation never made sense to me. Today, as an adult, I’ve come to understand how much I was lied to as a child. I’ve come to realize how much my school did to indoctrinate me into the liberal ideology. Today, I am a Christian, conservative, free from the lies I once believed to be true. We have seen a surprising uptick in political attacks in this country. Charlie Kirk was killed not by an AR-15, but likely a .30-06 bolt action rifle. The Butner assassination attempt on President Trump was an AR-15. The golf course assassination attempt a SKS 7.62 rifle was found at the scene. The White House Correspondence Dinner, a 12-gauge maverick shotgun which was fired at a secret service agent, a .38 semi-automictic pistol, and multiple knives were found on the suspect. After years of reporting Wolf Blitzer could not identify the weapon used, or even weapon type, but instead said the shooter fired what appeared to be “a very serious weapon.” As a long time reporter, I would expect a seasoned reporter to have even a basic knowledge of the guns he reports so often on. Even in these few examples, only one involved an AR-15. The variety used shows that even if you remove on option, there will be many more to choose from. Thankfully the WHCD didn’t end up worse, because if he wanted too, he could have used an explosive device. That would have nearly ensured the entire line of succession would have been removed. A tragedy was subverted once again. We as a society seem to have forgotten the danger of events like the Boston bombing, the world trade center, Oklahoma City, and most recently the pipe bombs thrown in New York City. Guns are not the problem, people no longer respect life. We are using rhetoric that dehumanizes an entire group of people in this country, and attacks against conservatives are on the rise as people view them as Nazi’s, fascist, and evil. One main function of the communist party is to, by their own admission make all religions superfluous, and communism supersedes them. Ideological Subversion: It takes 15-20 years to demoralize a people. In an interview with Yuri Bezmenov a former KGB operative, he discusses the process already happening in America. In the communist goals of 1963 we see two goals 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy as promiscuity as ‘normal, natural, healthy.” “27 Infitrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.” “28 Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29 “Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hinderance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.”

“When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable buildups as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic, and use the prestige of anti-fascist and tolerance organizations to discredit them. In the public mind constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. The association will after enough repetition become fact in the public mind.”

It is typically dated to 1943 and attributed to CPUSA directives or The Communist (their theoretical journal). It gained popularity through G. Edward Griffin (e.g., in his 1969 lecture More Deadly Than War) and has been repeated in conservative circles, John Birch Society materials, and online videos ever since.

When you listen to the manifestos of current assassins, and media, you can hear conservatives being compared to and called things like Nazi, Fascist, and now people are trying to kill conservatives. This is not a coincidence. This is manufactured hate. Destroy the church. Question the constitution. Destroy the patriot mindset. Infiltrate the government, gain power, and with it sew dissention. Abraham Lincoln once said the US would not be destroyed from an enemy abroad, but from within. Our enemy is truly within the walls, hiding in plain sight, or at least they used to be. Now they are no longer hiding, they are shouting from the rooftops who they are, and what they want. Global domination, global control. This is not a conspiracy theory, but verifiable and well documented.

So what is the true reason there’s so much animosity towards guns? Control. Just like Iran, N. Korea, Pre-WWII Germany, it’s all about control. When you cannot force your will upon a people because they have guns, the whole mission becomes removing Guns from the hands of those you wish to control. If it were about anything else, say, protecting lives, then the idea would be to train the population to respect human life, and to carry a firearm for protection, but it isn’t. Even today with products like the Byrna Kinetic Launcher, no one is saying to people, “don’t be a victim” own a Byrna. When there are non-lethal ways to self-defense, and yet, it’s not being talked about, of course it’s not about self-defense. New York is proposing a bill that would eliminate all airsoft, BB, pellet, and paintball guns. This isn’t about gun control, or even public safety, this is about trying to eliminate gun culture. Stop kids from growing up with toy or lifelike projectile guns, you may stop them from owning ‘real’ guns.

911 is and never will be a preventative measure. Police most of the time respond after a crime has already occurred. Even in the event of a tragic active shooter, or a break-in of your home, police are minutes away. This precious time is unfortunately an eternity when bullets could be flying. No matter what you do, bad people will always do bad things. You cannot claim that banning things, items from common usage is truly going to fix anything. Banning Guns in the UK, led to a rise in knife crime, then banning ninja swords led people to kitchen knives, and now kitchen knives to remove the point because people are still dying. No amount of banning anything will actively fix anything. Murder and battery will still happen, no matter how much banning you do.

Both the Office of Justice and National Institute of Justice admitted the 1994 ‘Assault Weapons Ban’ had little to no effect on gun crime in the country for the 10 years it was in place. When we look at the country as a whole, places that have the highest restrictions, often have the higher gun crime rate. Why is this? Victims have no teeth, no way to fight back against a criminal that does not fear the law, does not fear the judge, does not fear the jury, and does not fear jail. As the man of the house, I believe it is my responsibility to protect not only myself, but my family. Not only do I believe banning weapons because of the way they look, or even the arbitrary number of rounds the magazines can hold, is foolish, but goes directly against the reason the second amendment exists to begin with. When we truly offer a thought to why magazine bans happen, it’s a form of control. Someone, somewhere has said, ‘you, homeowner, are limited to 10 rounds to protect your home.’ It does not matter the criminal breaking in has a 30-round magazine, but you cannot. The emotional decision to ban magazine sizes comes from incidents like school shootings, less than 1% of all gun related incidences nationwide. While I firmly believe school shootings are avoidable, we have seen that even in places where guns are banned, mass school attacks still happen. We’ve seen large scale bladed attacks worldwide. We’ve seen terrorist attacks using vehicles as weapons to inflict maximum casualties. In recent months we’ve seen multiple bombs being used to try and inflict casualties but thankfully they did not detonate. Those who use the argument why do you need 30 rounds to kill a dear, either know they are being disingenuous or don’t understand the nature of what the 2^nd amendment truly is. 250 years ago, our founders knew the cost of insuring freedom would be high. This great experiment built upon the back of a Righteous and Holy God, would be cemented in the blood of men willing to die for its success. George Washington and other founders said this “”A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined…”

– George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress, January 8, 1790

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”

– Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776

“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.”

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Stephens Smith, son-in-law of John Adams, December 20, 1787

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

– Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.”

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

– Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

“To disarm the people…[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.”

– George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adooption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788

“I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.”

– George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”

– Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787

“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”

– James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789

“This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty…. The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.”

– St. George Tucker, Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1803

“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”

– Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788

“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.”

– Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833

“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.”

– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”

– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”

– Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788

“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of grievances; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possessions.”

– Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788

– Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833

– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789

As we can see, the founders had strong feelings about the necessity for able bodied Americans to be armed. In fact, they felt so strongly about this, that they believed it wasn’t so much as an option, but a responsibility of a male citizen to keep and bear arms, if at all possible. What more can I say, that our founders already established. During the SCOTUS ruling of NYSRPA v. Bruen which forced states to ensure their laws held up to text, history, and tradition of gun laws in the United States. Do modern restrictions hold up to laws around 1791. This forces states to reconsider their magazine capacity sizes, and firearm types. Today, we no longer carry flintlock muskets, but rather more modernized weapons such as the Ar-15, the civilian model designed similarly to the military M4. While the military version of the Armalite rifle has a three round burst selector switch, today, for civilians it is simply a semi-automatic. When you listen to many speak on the side of the Democrats, it’s evident they do not know what they are talking about. I personally find it very disturbing that anyone passing or pushing laws that would restrict the constitutional rights of millions, hasn’t taken the time to actually study the subject they are trying to pass laws on. The things I have heard liberals saying regarding firearms is nothing short of insane.

Mr. Cicilline: refers to a stabilizing brace as a bump stock, making it an automatic weapon. (Note: It does not)

President Biden “If you wanna protect yourself… Get a double-barreled shotgun, fire two blasts outside the house into the air.” (Warning Shots are generally illegal.)

Patricia Eddington; New York Assembly “Some of these bullets have an incendiary device on the end of it making it heat seeking.” (No bullet is heat seeking)

A politician once said, “if you ban high-capacity magazines, that over time they will decrease because they would have all been shot….” (Obviously not realizing a magazine is what bullets go into, and are reusable.)

New York City Mayor Bloomberg once said this “if it can fire a lot of bullets very quickly…. If you haven’t hit the deer with three shots, you’re a pretty lousy shot, that deer deserves to get away.” The interviewer said that most pistols hold more than three. He then replied, but that’s different, you have to pull the trigger each time. An assault weapon you hold and it goes (Sound, breet.)

(He basically believed all AR-15’s are all full automatic rifles. Also, in the interview he made a hunting example. The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting. Former Mayor Bloomberg spent millions of dollars on the fight for gun control.)

This next clip is an unknown politician to me. He said, “this is a ghost gun. This has the ability with a 30. Caliber clip, to disburse with 30 bullets within half a second, 30 magazine clip in half a second.”

Where do I start? There is no such thing as a 30 caliber clip. And it’s not a thing to fire bullets 30 rounds in half a second. This was being said during a press briefing. His knowledge of how firearms work is staggeringly ignorant.

Diane Feinstein “it’s legal to hunt humans with 15, 30 round, even 150 round magazines.” She goes on to talk about hunting ducks. During a photo shoot with Diane, she is seen holding an AK-47. In the photo she can be seen finger on the trigger. No trigger discipline. Obviously hunting humans is not legal.

President Biden “Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.” (It is absolutely not legal to shoot through the door at an intruder. Bad advice Joe… bad advice. )

Mike Thompson “Federal law prohibits me from having more than three shells in my shotgun when I’m duck hunting. So federal law provides more protection for ducks than it does for it’s citizens.” (Humans can’t be hunted. Why is this even a thing?)

It seems to me that many politicians believe or want you to believe the 2A has anything to do with hunting. It doesn’t. Not only do they not know how the guns work, how magazines work, but they don’t know the basic premise of the 2^ndAmendment, or gun safety.

When someone becomes a gun owner, you have skin in the game. When you don’t own them, I wouldn’t expect many to feel strongly about not destroying the rights for people. People often expect police to come save them. That’s not their job. The job of the police is to enforce the law. Until someone is breaking the law, until they’ve shot at you, until they’ve attacked you, until they are already in the midst of violence, police can’t do much. Most people are not vigilant while in public. Most people are not aware of what’s going on around them. Most people who are against guns, have never been attacked. While the average person being attacked would be a rare occurrence, when we look at the random crimes that have been major news in the last year, we can see many of the same category of people. I want to preface this: I am in no way blaming what happened on the victim. This is always the person attacking. HOWEVER, we see a trend in behavior that made the attacks easier. The average person doesn’t think about these things, and therefore make themselves a potential victim. I will start with the death of Bruce Wayne’s family. Traveling down a dark alley, late at night, and outsteps a criminal with a gun. Thomas and Martha are eventually gunned down in cold blood, leaving young Bruce Wayne to grow up into the man that wouldn’t ever be a victim again. Making good choices, and being aware of your surroundings is a major step in not being a victim. Again, the police won’t be there to save you. Iryna Zarutska was killed on a train. She sat there, watching her phone, not paying attention to anyone around her. Sadly, her killer would stand up from behind her and stab her to death. Not only were the police not around, average citizens got up from their seats and put distance between the poor girl, and themselves. I cannot say for sure she would have been safe if she’d been sitting differently, facing a different direction, paying attention, but what we do see is many people today are traveling in public with their faces in their phones completely unaware of the dangers lurking around them.

The Rockford Illinois stabbing spree of March 2024. He went around stabbing people at random including a US postal service worker, leaving four dead.

NYC Subway stabbing trends (2025-2026), these attacks over the last year have resulted in both fatalities and severe critical attacks. These attacks have included the use of machetes, and appeared to be random in nature.

San Antonio machete attack 2026 a man was attacked randomly under the 1-10 bridge. He fled to a shell gas station where he managed to call for help.

Stephanie Minter was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Virginia on Feb 23, 2026.

Then, there are the high-profile cases of illegal aliens attacking and murdering people.

Antonio Martinez Guilty of rape and murder of Rachel Morin on a Maryland hiking trail 2023-2025.

Jose Antonio Ibarra killed Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus in 2024.

Jose Medina was charged with the murder of Sheridan Gorman in Chicago 2026.

Edwin Antonio confessed of five murders including a dismemberment of an unaccompanied minor.

Savannah, Georgia (Dec 2025/2026): A woman was attacked with sulfuric acid in Forsyth Park while walking. As of April 2026, the attacker is unknown, and the case remains under investigation by local police and the FBI.

Long Island, New York (2021-2026): In March 2021, student Nafiah Ikram was attacked with acid outside her home. Terrell Campbell was arrested in 2026 after a tipster identified him and prosecutors alleged he posted a rap video boasting about the crime.

New Jersey/Florida (2024): A woman in New Jersey suffered 35% body burns from a “highly caustic acid” attack. Three Florida residents were charged with conspiracy to commit the attack, which was found to be a targeted, paid arrangement.

Washington D.C. (2017): A woman was sentenced to 12 years in prison for attacking an ex-boyfriend with a knife and sulfuric acid.

Bradford Gille; Traverse City Michigan, July 26, 2025. A mass stabbing event where 11 people were injured. What many news agencies left out of their reporting was how Gille was stopped. Two marine veterans took it upon themselves to intervene. One attempted to subdue Gille with a shopping cart, while the other Derrick Perry drew his personal pistol to stop Gille and hold him till police arrived. Odd, how most of the news reports I read ignored this fact. It was the Marine Times that actually told the truth that a personal owned firearm stopped the suspect and likely saved lives.

There are far more cases, but I think you get the point. Violence doesn’t always come at the hand of a firearm. Violence comes from anyone who wants to do violent things. The weapon of choice can be anything from household kitchen items, to a machete, to a katana, to a firearm, to a bomb, even acid. The point is, you are your first responder. We have people and politicians who know nothing about firearms, trying to get rid of firearms, not to pass what they call common sense gun control. One thing to point out, these politicians are excusing themselves from these gun laws they are putting on everyone else.

“At its core it’s about finishing what we started.” (Rep. Teresa Tanzi)

In 2025 Rhode Island passed an ‘assault’ weapons ban. They included a grandfather clause. However, this year, Rep. Tanzi took the microphone stating that they would be removing the grandfather clause making these weapons illegal.

“last year we as a body, banned the sale, manufacture and transfer of certain assault weapons as defined in that law. That was an important step, but was only a partial one. We should be honest about that.”

She goes on :

“Right now our law draws an arbitrary line. We have said these firearms cannot enter the marketplace going forward. But we continue to allow them to remain in circulation indefinitely. That undermines the very policy we put in place, and makes enforcement more difficult.”

“IF these weapons are too dangerous to be sold in Rhode Island, then we really should have addressed possession at the same time. We didn’t, and this bill corrects that.”

This is the government admitting they are in fact coming for your guns. These politicians aren’t getting rid of their armed security. The police aren’t getting rid of theirs. This is politicians showing their true colors, an unarmed population, is a controlled population. During the covid summer of love, we saw mass riots in the streets. We saw businesses being destroyed. We saw people’s livelihood being torn down to the ground. Not long ago, in my home state, a woman called 911 from home. Someone broke into her house, but before police could respond, when they did, she had already been murdered. The short time it took for police to arrive, it was too late. Everyone has an inherent right to self-defense. As a man, I have the responsibility to train, and be prepared to defend my family, people I care about, and the weak in society. No one is coming ‘in time’ to save you. It’s easy to scoff at the idea of why someone needs a gun. It’s easy to do this if you have never lived in a place where it was dangerous. If you’ve never felt your life was in danger. If you’ve never truly experienced fear. Our founding fathers understood the need and that’s why they are on the record speaking about gun ownership, and gun carry, on a regular basis. All politicians that claim gun control is for public safety has an agenda, and that agenda is a disarmed society. They are praying on your emotions and naivety, to side with them and push to ban something you may not care anything about. Though, you might care more when the government begins restricting something you actually care about. When the government begins to allow something like ‘Sharia Law’. Think it can’t happen in the U.S.? Think again. We as a society have gotten complacent to believe we are safe because we have some of the best police departments in the world. But if you go to many middle eastern countries, they own an AK-47 per household. Why? Because the police aren’t coming, and you’re responsible for your own safety. Iran gave up their rights, and now they suffer under a murderous regime that kills them for showing their hair in public. For being gay. For speaking out against the government. The truth is, every society that has given up their rights to allow the government to take over their security, is now realizing that may have been a mistake. Canada just decided by 95% they are not going to allow the government to take their guns.

During the Supreme Court Case DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services in 1989, they decided the government does not have an obligation to protect the citizen from private acts of violence. This is something everyone should consider. If the government has no responsibility to protect you, then who does? You. I have long stated gun free zones should be held as unconstitutional. We’ve seen over and over how criminals ignore that little gun free sign, and commit catastrophic events. If they tell you, you can’t have a gun, is that them saying, we will take responsibility for your safety while you are here? No, of course not. Most of the time, malls do not have armed officers patrolling, or at entrances. Schools often do not have a service officer on duty. Yet, we protect banks with armed guards. Federal buildings have armed guards. But you, you’re not allowed to protect yourself. As we’ve seen, those who wish to do harm don’t have to have a knife, but if they do have a knife, how would you stop them if you didn’t have a gun? No one wins in a knife fight. The only way to true defense is to train in it. You have to train your mind to be vigilant, to pay attention, and to know what to do in the event of an incident. I am not calling for anyone to be a vigilante, just be aware of your surroundings, and have a plan to protect yourself. If you’re out for a jog, have a plan. If you’re out to dinner with family, have a plan. If you are going to and from work, have a plan. You are the Militia. You are your first responder. It’s up to you to protect yourself. While the average person will never be put into a situation where this is necessary, we are all familiar with insurance. You have it in the hopes you’ll never need to use it. We have insurance on our cars, homes, our health, and our pets. A firearm is your insurance policy to protect, potentially your life. We hope you’ll never need to use it, but break-in’s happen nationwide every 25-30 seconds in the U.S. Out of that nearly 28% of all break-in’s happen while someone is home. On average every 26 seconds in America a random violent attack happens in the U.S. The 2^nd Amendment is important because I don’t want anyone to be a victim. While I believe our focus should be fixing the heart problem of these attacks on people, I do not believe the answer is to focus on the weapon used, but those using the weapon. In major cities gang-violence is 13% of all annual homicides. The cause to ban AR-15’s are based on 1% of annual homicides that are attributed to mass shootings. We must be careful as a society to understand the facts. We accept the risks of allowing people to drive cars. We accept the danger that some people who use a car in the U.S. will die every single day. Because the daily need for a firearm isn’t as pronounced as the need to have a vehicle to get to work, or go places, many deem them irrelevant. The truth is, we don’t talk about the number of crimes prevented by the mere possession of a firearm. If police officers can use them to protect others, the same rule applies to people. There are millions of guns in the united states, and we if we’re honest should understand if gun owners were truly the problem we’d know it. Once again, In 2024 there were 15,795 murders total in the US. Out of those only 11,717 were firearms. Less than 1% of all firearms were rifles, and less than that were the AR-15. There were 11,904 drunk driving deaths in the US. With over 400-533 million firearms, if these were the problem, we’d have far more than 11,000 deaths a year by firearms. If we are truly honest with ourselves, we should be asking, why anti-gun politicians are pushing so hard, but aren’t trying to save the millions who die in abortions, by illegal drugs coming over the border, the deaths caused by illegal aliens. If protecting life were truly the goal, you’d see a stronger stance on these things. Instead, media outlets are quiet about deaths from illegals, and during the latest assassination attempt, the gun debate didn’t happen. This shows us, there is an agenda, not a true moral compass about gun violence. Protect yourself. Protect your family. Learn the history of the 2A and learn how it’s shaped America. Learn how it saved America during WWII. See how other countries have failed and fallen to the left-wing ideology of eliminating guns. Why do socialist countries need to ban guns before they can take control? Learn your rights, and learn how to protect yourself and your family. If you don’t want to own a gun, at least own a Byrna Launcher

Some of the videos I think you should watch, is where some of my information came from.
