As gun debates continue to grow, there are gun hardliners in America and they would rather die than let you take away their guns- Here’s why
It’s an addictive leisure activity, almost like cocaine-
The gun lovers own a wide range of fancy guns and assault rifles and use them at shooting ranges. Liberte Austin has been hunting for years and owns a range of guns, she regularly shares her exploits with her 200,000 Instagram followers
We like guns because they are the tools of free men. Citizens hold weapons, subjects are disarmed.
For some Owning a gun is tied to their rights as free citizens. If you disarm some Americans , they believe, you trying to take away their freedom
The left will stop at nothing to take away your gun rights. Many around the world see America as the last beacon of freedom because you CAN purchase a firearm here…many disagree, of course, but most don’t. https://t.co/Ysau9YqCiK

The good guy with a gun
Well, that what Donald Trump and the NRA has been selling to America- a “citizen protector” ethic, whereby firearms — and the willingness to use them to defend innocent life — come to represent an affirmation of life
It’s the law!
A crazy law called the 2nd amendment, the right of all citizens to bear arms
The National Rifle Association is powerful in America and has done everything to stop gun laws
OK so a good number of Americans came to their senses and supported background checks also preventing criminals from getting guns, but the NRA make billions of dollars selling guns.
With this money, they invest heavily in politics, most Senators and congressmen receive donations from the NRA, but that’s not all , As a politician, if you speak against the NRA they would invest millions of dollars to jeopardize and stop your re-election.
More mass shootings means more guns to protect yourself:
Americans are all horrified about the mass shootings, similar feelings of disgust and outrage exist, but while some call for gun control, others stockpile on guns because of the need to protect themselves
Rather than control guns, Americans are buying more guns, arming teachers, churches and constantly performing drills on what to do in the case that there is an active shooter.
It’s a paradox that the most powerful country on earth cannot solve a problem with an obvious solution- gun control laws!
