Patriots, grab your Freedom2o and listen up. We need to have a serious discussion about our Second Amendment rights – because they're being threatened... again. Unless you're just waking up from a coma, we all know about the disturbing assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.

It's a sobering reminder that ANYONE - even our most protected leaders - is vulnerable to violence that happens in our society. But here's the think: the Left is using this tragedy to advocate for stricter gun control. Can you believe it? Aside from politicizing this nightmare, they're seeking to use the attack as a justification for stripping away our constitutional rights!

To be clear, the Second Amendment is about more than just hunting and recreation shooting. It's about safeguarding ourselves, our families, and, yes, even our democracy. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they included our freedom to bear arms in the Constitution.

So does the Left have a case to be made in calling for stricter gun control? Absolutely NOT! Here's a truth bomb for them: criminals do not follow the law. More gun regulation won't stop the bad guys from obtaining guns. Plain and simple; full stop. It will merely make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their right to defend themselves.

Let's have a look at the facts:

1. Despite their extensive training and resources, the Secret Service could not mitigate the attack. If they – trained professionals – cannot guarantee the safety of a FORMER PRESIDENT, how can anyone expect ordinary people to defend themselves without firearms?
2. The shooter utilized a legally acquired AR-15 rifle. Do you know what that means? Background checks and waiting periods did not prevent this. Clearly, these safeguards fail to deter determined criminals.
3. The only thing that stopped the shooter were the good guys with guns. Not a snowflake asking him if he needed a safe space to reflect on his actions.

This incident clearly demonstrates why it's critical to protect our freedom to bear arms.

And what's even funnier is the Left is always preaching about mental wellbeing. Yet when it comes to anything gun violence-related, that conversation gets tossed out of the window and immediately shifts to more reform and even to ban certain types of firearms and munitions entirely.

Why not have a conversation about mental health when it comes to these tragedies? Both sides of the aisle can agree that people who commit these crimes don't have all their marbles and that it's not sensible people walking around committing these crimes and acts of violence. If the conversation were to shift from 'ban all guns' to 'hey, how can we solve the root cause of these issues' we would be able to get a lot more done, and prevent future shootings and deaths.

Here's what we need to do:

1. Oppose any new gun control legislation. It's simply not the answer.
2. Support politicians who protect the Second Amendment. Our rights are only as secure as the individuals we choose to safeguard them.
3. Educate ourselves and others on responsible gun ownership. The more law-abiding people who understand how to use firearms responsibly, the safer everyone is.
4. Remain vigilant. The anti-gun crowd will use any excuse to further their cause. We must be ready to push back.

Remember that the Second Amendment is not only about guns. It's a matter of freedom. It's about our God-given right to be responsible for our own safety and the protection of those we love. It is about standing up to oppression, whether it comes from criminals or an overreaching government.

The next time someone tries to convince you that we need more gun control, take a big sip of Freedom2o and remind them that our rights are not up for dispute. The Second Amendment has defended us for more than 200 years, and it is more necessary now than ever before.

Stay armed, stay safe, and stay free, patriots. Because that's what America is all about.
