Gun Banners Struggling To Find Relevance In A World Prepping For War<\/a><\/p>\n

When all is said and done, the conflict in Ukraine, will have been responsible for putting more guns into civilian hands than Barack Obama and Joe Biden combined.<\/p>\n

For the American gun-ban industry, these world events hit at a particularly difficult period of time. Make no mistake, they still get up every morning, have a cup of coffee, and then decide how best to strip you of your constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

But nowadays, it\u2019s not as easy for them to find someone who is willing to listen to their inane pleas. They\u2019re desperate for an audience \u2013 any audience \u2013 so they have changed-up the way they message their anti-gun campaigns. They\u2019ve resorted to quick-hits \u2013 single messages of short duration \u2013 so when one fizzles, they can quickly pivot to another, all to keep their donors mollified and their money flowing in.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things were not always this way. Before the plague, Gabby Giffords or Shannon Watts had only to snap their fingers and they\u2019d get the lead story for an entire news cycle. Michael Bloomberg actually wrote his own headlines. The Trace\u00a0\u2013 the propaganda arm of his anti-gun empire \u2013<\/em>\u00a0successfully embedded its paid anti-gun activists into newsrooms across the country. It was a major coup for the diminutive demagogue. His stooges in the mainstream media still haven\u2019t realized how badly they were hoodwinked and used. But COVID, the lockdowns, and a series of violent riots across the country put an end to all of this.<\/p>\n

When Americans saw their neighborhoods going up in flames, more than 5 million bought firearms and apparently a lot of ammunition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The\u00a0ammo market<\/a>\u00a0is still trying to fully recover. Every one of these purchases was a slap in the face to the gun banners. Then, when the gun-rights community\u00a0defeated their champion, David Chipman,\u00a0<\/a>whom Biden was ordered to install as ATF head, the gun banners became apoplectic with rage. Evidently, they\u2019re still mad at poor Joe. Last month they sent him yet another joint letter complaining that he wasn\u2019t infringing enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a candidate, Joe Biden promised to prioritize gun violence prevention. As president, Joe Biden has not,\u201d said Igor Volsky, founder and executive director of the group Guns Down America. Volsky\u2019s rally outside the White House several dozen people. For the gun banners, the poor turnout should have been a warning of bad things yet to come, but it went unheeded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the day Putin invaded Ukraine, Moms Demanding Attention launched a nationwide \u201cStand Your Ground\u201d initiative. Its goal was \u201cto combat shoot first laws, also known as stand your ground.\u201d To show their support, Florida Moms scheduled rallies in 10 cities across the state. The rallies were a complete failure. They drew several dozen folks \u2013 most of whom were already in the city parks before the rallies began. In Miami, which has a population of more than 440,000, the Moms and their husbands outnumbered attendees by a two-to-one margin. It was clear their gun-banning efforts were sputtering.\u00a0No one was buying what they were peddling, so they were forced to pivot, again.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday, the anti-gunners tried yet another desperate bid. This time, so-called \u201cSmart Guns\u201d were the topic.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirearm owners may be finally cozying up to the idea of personalized \u2018smart guns,\u2019 and it only took them twenty years to hop on board,\u201d\u00a0MSN declared<\/a>. Meanwhile, their readers yawned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To be clear, Stand Your Ground laws work \u2013 Smart Guns don\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That the gun-ban industry resorted to recycling two such tired, old propaganda points show how desperate they have become. Since they describe themselves as gun\u00a0safety<\/em>\u00a0organizations, you would think they would pivot to safety. However, safety has never been important to them. Complete civilian disarmament is their true goal. Now that the whole world has witnessed the deadly ruse that is gun control, their tired talking points are falling on deaf ears.<\/p>\n

Despite the gun-ban industry\u2019s nonstop messaging, their tweets, their hashtags, and their prowess with the press, there is one thing they can never overcome, which the entire world now understands:\u00a0Disarmament kills. Absolute disarmament kills absolutely.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
