Rush Describes How We Must Fight Democrats on Gun Control"},"content":{"rendered":"

TODD: I consider cars and motorcycles freedom machines, and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s an overstatement. There is a battle forthcoming that may be the defining battle that we have to fight to maintain our personal autonomy, and they\u2019re pretending it\u2019s being floated, but I will tell you: The decision has been made.<\/p>\n

When we talk about being truth-tellers, it\u2019s easy to get depressed. It is. I want to give you just one request, one example. Don\u2019t give in to that. Go to RushLimbaugh.com, which is still incredibly alive and well. You\u2019ll have links from myself and the other guide hosts on EIB. For instance, the story I just shared about foster kids, American foster kids being tossed from a home to make room for illegal immigrant children is something you can merchandise to your friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"They must be woken from their slumber.<\/p>\n

They must be.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the Biden\u2019s dementia by way of Obama\u2019s teleprompter is announcing that they intend to pursue gun control but for real this time, for real this time. In announcing that, we also have to be the truth tellers. And that is that we need to be able to be the people who say, “We\u2019re not giving up our guns. Sorry. We\u2019re not.” Rush explained the tactic the left uses to fool Republicans, debates over the freedoms of self-defense. We\u2019ve got to do something<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I\u2019ll tell you this about this whole gun control business. This overwhelming urge to do something. “We\u2019ve gotta do something!” There isn\u2019t anything legislation can do that\u2019s going to prevent these shootings from happening. We can go through the list of things that is at the root of this, and there are many of them leading to our cultural divide.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing the left wants when it comes to guns that\u2019s gonna be good for us. Even this red flag business. If you give them the opportunity by virtue of a new law to take away somebody\u2019s gun, then that\u2019s just the beginning. That\u2019s all they want. Give \u2019em a red flag law where they can go identify some nutcase and take his gun away from him and they are gonna be throwing a party that night.<\/p>\n

Because they know that next year, they can ask for more people\u2019s guns to be given up and then after that more people\u2019s guns — and before long, they\u2019re gonna have every gun from every law-abiding citizen taken away from \u2019em. That\u2019s what they want. Do not give the Democrats a thing on this. There\u2019s nothing to be gained by giving the Democrats a thing on anything to do with gun control or guns, period, because of what we know their ultimate objective is. Their ultimate objective is to erase the Second Amendment, and there\u2019s no compromise with that. None. Zip, zero, nada.<\/p>\n

This overwhelming need to do something. And I understand it, folks, I really do. These are tragedies that happen, and they think there\u2019s gotta be a way to stop this, there\u2019s gotta be a way to prevent this. And somebody in power needs to do something. So what happens? Politicians hear this, and they come up with something to do that will not make one iota\u2019s worth of difference. But they\u2019ll be able to say they did something. And then everybody will be happy. “Okay. We\u2019ve done something.” When not a thing will have been done about it because we\u2019re not even serious about finding out why.<\/p>\n

\"\"One of these events happens, and immediately, because of the demands of the left, we have to get drawn into a subject of guns. And when you say something sensible, something that is irrefutable, “Guns don\u2019t kill people. People do,” they mock you and laugh at you and claim that you\u2019re not serious, that you\u2019re just uttering a cliche. It\u2019s kind of like, “Abstinence works every time it\u2019s tried” when it comes to preventing pregnancy. It hasn\u2019t failed yet. Abstinence works every time. If you don\u2019t want to get pregnant, don\u2019t do it. But to say that is simplistic, and it\u2019s not realistic, and it\u2019s cliche.<\/p>\n

So we can\u2019t even be semiserious when talking about guns. We have to do something. We\u2019ve got to do something. And it overcomes everybody. It overcomes Republican presidents, it overcomes Republican members of Congress, “We gotta do something.” We gotta show the American people that we\u2019re doing something. And whatever the something is, we gotta do it.<\/p>\n

Now, the left has a specific objective when you start talking about doing things. We\u2019ve got background checks out the wazoo. the Drive-By Media doesn\u2019t seem to know that we already have very stringent universal background checks for guns.<\/p>\n

And I can give you even greater examples. The kid that shot up the school in Parkland, Florida, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school, this kid was identified however many number of times as a potential threat. If we\u2019d had a Red Flag law they could have gotten the guy off the street, but we already had something like Red Flag laws. We had ways to apprehend the kid and put him behind bars. There were laws on the books. He was identified a bunch of times before he actually stormed into the school. When he finally did it, it was not a surprise to anybody.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already got the mechanisms in place to do a lot more than we\u2019re doing. We just can\u2019t do them because of political correctness or other government policies. We\u2019ve got background checks out the wazoo. Now when you hear these Drive-By Media people on TV talking about the need for increased background checks, let me tell you what they really want, folks. They want just one thing. It could be the tiniest thing in the world.<\/p>\n

When they talk about background checks, what they really want is some way to go get somebody\u2019s gun who already has one.<\/p>\n

TODD: And think of this — what Rush said — a comparison, “Do something!” That event in the high school in Florida, that was foreseeable. Some 40 times the police went to that young man\u2019s house. Now, I happen to think that young man was pleading for help. “Someone put a limit on me. I\u2019m dying over here,” and he went and murdered people.<\/p>\n

\"\"So I certainly don\u2019t absolve him of that. He needs to be in prison for the rest of his life, if not more. But every weekend in our cities, increasingly in cities, there are shootings. We know roughly who\u2019s going to shoot whom. Maybe not the people, but the teams, the gangs. We know roughly the turf over which they\u2019re fighting.<\/p>\n

We know that in cities like Portland and San Francisco and Los Angeles and Seattle the cartels have set up shop. We know that there are arguing and fighting, in fact, over drug turf. That\u2019s foreseeable in these liberal cities time and again. Gangsters who are caught with weapons they\u2019re not to have because they\u2019re felons are let go.<\/p>\n

The comparison between what the Democrats are doing where there\u2019s known violence — where it\u2019s going to occur — versus what they\u2019re trying to do where there\u2019s no violence coming, that is the guns in your safe at home. This is something else that we need to do as truth-tellers. We need to tell our friends, our liberal friends — if this is your position, we need to tell them — “We\u2019re not going to turn our guns in.”<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you something: 92% of American gun owners simply are not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
