Still not sure what’s behind the Democratic push to roll back the Second Amendment?
Here’s Bob Owens from our sister publication Bearing Arms to lay it out for you with a tweet storm of truth on the history of guns in America, gun violence and what he sees Dems trying to do next.
1) @theDemocrats and the media–but I repeat myself–have terrorized this nation over the "threat of guns."
This is a false threat.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
2) Despite what you hear from @POTUS and @HillaryClinton and @TheDemocrats firearms are not a threat.
They are merely tools.

On the history of guns in America:
3) We've had firearms in the United States since before there was a United States.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
4) As a matter of fact, we became the United States because the British attempted a gun control raid and we didn't care for it.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
5) For those of you who used revisionist history books, the Rev War didn't start over taxes. It started at Concord Bridge over guns.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
6) ANYWAY…
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
On guns/crime and guns/liberty: “It’s about control.”
7) Guns have always played an important role in American culture. The handgun offers personal defense; the rifle, liberty itself.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
8) It is been a key goal of the media and @TheDemocrats to demonize guns, and strip them from American life for one reason.
Power.

9) Despite the poo-pooing of the media, a well-armed citizenry can indeed keep the most powerful government in check.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
10) If you doubt this, talk to any combat-experienced soldier, especially Green Berets. They topple governments with partisans.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
11) You'd never know it listening to the media, but the violent crime rate RIGHT NOW is the lowest it has been in generations.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
12) Violent crime has plummeted as gun ownership has gone through the roof.
That doesn't fit @TheDemocrats narrative, does it?
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
13) @TheDemocrats and the media are playing up every criminal firearms story in order to manufacture a crisis.
They're lying to you.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
14) Criminal homicides are down. Accidental shooting are down. Defensive gun use and gun ownership are both way up.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
15) The media and @TheDemocrats hate that.
They need you dependent on government.
It's about control.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
And on what is motivating Dems and their anti-gun agenda:
16) You're getting better armed and better trained as they're getting more desperate and corrupt.
They're terrified of you.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
17) Why else do you think @TheDemocrats are so desperate in their push to gut due process?
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
18) @TheDemocrats are flagrantly attempting to destroy the Constitution, and they aren't even trying to hide it anymore.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
19) Their biggest fear isn't that other branches of govt or the judiciary will stop them. They're scared of YOU rising up to stop them.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
20) That's why they're so manic in their obsession to ban guns, demonize gun owners, and trash gun rights groups.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
21) That's why every sighting of an umbrella is reported as an "active shooter," even though no shots were ever fired.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
22) That's why they're so desperate to link the @NRA to some act of violence, to "other" them, despite all their good works.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
23) Frankly, we need MORE "military-style" firearms in the homes of trained, law-abiding citizens, not fewer.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
24) It is only the threat of rebellion by the citizenry that these corrupt, self-styled "elites" fear.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
25) Arm yourselves. Get good training. Buy ammunition, and stack it deep.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
In conclusion, a little history lesson:
26) Refuse to be a victim of government, the deadliest threat to life and liberty on the planet.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
27) Governments who first stripped their citizens of arms MURDERED 262 MILLION of their own citizens in the 20th century alone.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
28) Every democide requires unarmed victims.
Don't EVER submit.
— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) June 30, 2016
Well said, Bob.
