Advocacy for firearms, the Second Amendment and both shooting sports and self-defense long have been the domains of Republicans across America.
Democrats, on the other hand, largely have adopted a unified voice in demanding gun limits, restrictions, even outright bans.
Until now.
A report from Washington Examiner columnist Paul Bedard explains that even now, “banning guns is a favorite [topic] for Democrats.”
“But they should be careful pushing too hard because the latest data about who is buying and shooting guns look a lot like a list of liberal Democratic voters,” he explained.
He cited a new study from the National Shooting Sports Foundation that discovered, “New shooters are more likely to be black, Democrats, Hispanic or Latino, younger, female, and from a large city or suburb. There are large increases in the percentages of new shooters who are young, female, and from a large city or suburban area.”
He noted the organization’s report, “Firearm Ownership & Sports Shooting Participation Report, specifically pointed out, “Compared to 2020, the percentage of new shooters who are Democrats nearly doubled.”
He noted that also nearly doubling was the percentage of adults to shoot for fun, with now nearly 25% of the adults shooting and buying guns and ammunition.
”These are encouraging figures that are consistent with the other trends we see in the monthly FBI background checks and industry production reports reflecting growth in firearm ownership. Safe and responsible firearm ownership goes hand in hand with regular participation in the shooting sports,” Joe Bartozzi, the NSSF’s president, said in the report.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: For America’s ruling elites, nothing is more precious, wonderful and life-giving to their great cause than the Jan. 6, 2021 “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol. It’s irrelevant that the events didn’t come remotely close to constituting an actual “insurrection,” or that both police and over 200 undercover FBI assets provoked the riot – which Tucker Carlson calls a “set-up.” Yet Vice President Kamala Harris still insists the minor riot was just as horrific as the 9/11 terror attacks and Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
WHY are the elites doing this?
It’s not just because convicting, imprisoning, torturing and destroying the lives of hundreds of Trump supporters is meant to terrify and intimidate millions of Americans into submission. And it’s not just because activist judges and bureaucrats in over 30 states are absurdly trying to keep Trump off their state’s election ballots by citing the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against anyone who “engaged in insurrection” from holding elective office.
It’s because the elites’ destruction of America is so rapid, horrendous and obvious that they feel compelled to turn their opponents into monsters – or lose power at the next election. But that doesn’t mean just calling conservatives and Christians “racists,” “white supremacists,” “radical extremists” and “domestic terrorists” as they do continually. They know much more is needed.
Question: What if, far from being horrified by a half-baked riot they absurdly claim is worse than any domestic disturbance since the Civil War, the left actually LOVES the idea of violence on the right – the worse the better – since it perfectly serves their agenda? Increasingly, all the evidence strongly suggests today’s power-mad leftist elites not only intend to intimidate and discredit their political opponents by calling them terrorists, they mean to provoke actual violence.
The secret strategies and shocking tactics of today’s ascendant far-left elites are exposed as perhaps never before in the January issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, headlined “INCITING VIOLENCE: DEMS’ SECRET STRATEGY FOR STAYING IN POWER.”
