The Battle’s Been Won, But the War is Far From Over! Stay Alert!!!

Many gun rights advocates breathed a sigh of relief as background checks were derailed in the Senate.  But that’s likely a premature response.
The failure of the legislation constructed by Senators Pat Toomey and Joe Manchin is not the end of the debate. The agenda of gun control lobbyists hasn’t changed, and it won’t. Those in favor of gun control will not stop until they get what they want.
Just look at Majority Leader Harry Reid, who voted in opposition to the legislation. It’s an interesting move because Reid has been outspoken in favor of strict gun control from the start.
His decision to vote the bill down was a strategic and calculated move that allowed for the bill to be reintroduced at a later time:
“I’ve spoken with the President. He and I agree that the best way to keep working towards passing a background check bill is to hit a pause and freeze the background check bill where it is,” Reid said.
So while the bill’s failure makes gun control seem like a dead issue, it’s very much alive. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the left is already planning their next move. The left has a plan, and it’s all-but-guaranteed to be an assault on the Second Amendment.
The Right Needs to Be Prepared
Simply responding to the next liberal attack won’t be enough. Republicans need to develop a clear and purposeful plan for defending the Second Amendment. They need to become unified around the common goal of preserving the rights clearly given in the Constitution.
And relying on the NRA isn’t enough.
Yes, I know. The Nra is big and powerful and politicians are scared of the organization’s influence. But the NRA has done its job – it stood its ground and defended law-abiding gun owners.
Meanwhile, conservatives tucked their tails between their legs and ran away. Republicans should be fighting on the front lines!
It’s time for Republicans to move away from reactionary tactics and come up with a plan. Most importantly, it’s time to find a way to protect American citizens from violent criminals without punishing or demonizing law-abiding citizens.
