TOM BROKAW: ALLOWING AMERICANS TO OWN GUNS WILL LEAD TO HOMEGROWN TERRORISM
We all know that mainstream news is slanted liberal and that liberals really hate guns, but what Tom Brokaw just said may be the most anti-gun thing ever uttered by a member of the leftist propaganda machine. The semi-retired newsman basically said that the Constitutionally protected right of gun ownership will only lead to homegrown acts of terrorism in America so we have to get rid of it.
USA Today reports that Brokaw gave the commencement speech at the University of Mississippi on Saturday. Rather than giving the graduates a typical “bright future” type of message, he wanted to continue their liberal indoctrination with a strong gun control rant:
On gun issues, Brokaw said common sense has to prevail.
“I’m appalled by the determination of organizations and individuals to arm more people without any appreciation of the consequence of evermore lethal weapons in our midst,” said Brokaw.
In his roundabout way, he said he is disgusted with groups like the NRA for protecting our 2nd Amendment rights and equally sickened by us for exercising those rights. Also, please note the use of the dumb liberal idea that today’s “superweapons” are somehow more lethal than firearms from the good old days.
That was just a warm up for this insane statement:
“More guns and more firearm tolerance will mean more homegrown acts of terror,” he said.
What? If we as a society “tolerate” the right of gun ownership it’s going to lead to homegrown terrorism? That’s liberal logic wrapped in passive aggression: “Sure you can exercise your Constitutional rights if you don’t mind puppies and babies being killed.”
And again, this is dumb liberalthink that says guns are inherently evil and make people do unspeakable things. Guns don’t force otherwise normal people into committing acts of terrorism; they are inanimate objects. If anything, gun control would cause homegrown terrorism. There’s something about fascist rule and oppression that brings out the rebellion in certain people.
“Yes, we have a constitutional right to own guns … but with that right comes a personal obligation to be on guard against the promiscuous use of guns (and) not to pretend that no limits means no trouble,” he said.
Why do liberal always qualify the 2nd Amendment with a “but”? This statement might be worse than the last one. He’s saying that “technically” we have a right to gun ownership but guns are immoral so we must reject that right.
Brokaw finished by saying that “commonsense” gun control and resisting our Constitutional rights are “the traits of an enlightened people.” In other words, if you support the right to keep and bear arms, you are a Neanderthal.
In another part of his speech, Brokaw gave a hint as to why he thinks the 2nd Amendment shouldn’t protect the right to own a gun:
He told graduates “the rule of law is inadequate if the rule of heart isn’t an equal partner.”
Did you get that? You legal right to have a gun should be on equal footing with the fragile emotions of liberals who want to take your gun away. I’d say that perfectly sums up the lefty gun control position.
