An open letter to Gabby Giffords, Shannon Watts and Michael Bloomberg<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear Gabby, Shannon and Tiny Mike;<\/p>\n

The instant the first Russian T-80 crossed the Ukrainian border, the whole world could see the uselessness of everything you\u2019ve ever said and everything you\u2019ve ever done. You\u2019ve been overtaken by events \u2013 mooted and muted in one fell swoop, so scram. Leave the field. It is time for you and your gun-ban groups to go.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a madman with nukes on the loose who\u2019s just 50 miles off Alaska\u2019s port bow. No one knows how far he\u2019s willing to go, so you\u2019re out. The adults are taking charge. Your services are no longer required. Please take the Demanding Moms and their creepy husbands with you, open a box of wine and have yourselves a good cry. Ukraine learned nearly too late that the right to keep and bear arms saves lives, while the civilian disarmament pipedream you\u2019ve been peddling for decades costs lives.<\/p>\n

If you are in doubt, ask the brave Ukrainian single mom with the yellow ribbon tied around her sleeve if she\u2019s comfortable battling Russian Spetsnaz with a standard-capacity magazine in her Avtomat Kalashnikova, or if she\u2019d prefer a 10-round mag you\u2019ve long advocated for and a rifle that\u2019s California-compliant. You could also ask the young Russian conscript bouncing around in the back of a BMP \u2013 who\u2019s belly is churning from the rations he\u2019s eating, which expired in 2015 \u2013 if he\u2019d prefer shooting at disarmed civilians or ones who can shoot back.<\/p>\n

Ukraine was a bastion of gun control \u2013 something you would have found refreshing \u2013 but when Russian fighters started strafing runs, they quickly came to their senses, repealed their gun laws and issued AKs by the thousands to anyone who asked. What the Ukrainians lack in training and marksmanship they\u2019re making up for with sheer tenacity and uncommon valor.<\/p>\n

The whole world saw how quickly the holy grails of your gun-ban industry \u2013 licensing and registration, waiting periods, background checks, magazine and \u201cassault weapon\u201d bans \u2013 were cast aside once Vlad the Invader came calling. The Ukrainians issued assault weapons to their citizens \u2013 real ones \u2013 without delays, licenses, checks or 4473s. Thank God they weren\u2019t too late.<\/p>\n

America will never be put in that position, no thanks to you. We train constantly with the rifles you want confiscated, and we\u2019re not going to tolerate any more of your infringements: Our guns, our gear and our ammunition are now off limits to your foolishness. You need to find something else to do \u2013 another way to occupy your spare time. Our armed civilian populace is a strategic national asset, something more than a few would-be invaders considered before declaring war. You and your ilk have been trying for years to undermine this asset. I\u2019m pretty sure there\u2019s a word for that, and it carries a stiff penalty, especially in time of war.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian resistance is showing the world \u2013 at tremendous cost \u2013 how free men and women can resist tyrannical invaders if they\u2019re given the right tools. Thankfully, Americans have the right tools, and we will savagely resist any attempts to reduce their effectiveness or take them away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
