Rooting Out the Anti-Gun Rot Takes Perseverance and Grit

If anyone has any doubt how deep the rot goes in America, just take a look at the organized resistance to any move to tackle waste and fraud in the government. Regrettably, the magnificent glow of victory has dimmed somewhat as efforts to eliminate the squandering of our nation’s resources or boot swamp creatures from government has proven almost impenetrable.  A handful of leftist legal wingnuts and the media have been able to stymie what the majority of Americans have been begging for: a government that doesn’t repeatedly disrespect our money, our values, not to mention our Constitution. 

This has created a lot of frustration because the changes we were promised in November have been slower in coming than we’d like.  But there are things we must remember: the forces pushing against us are powerful, mean-spirited and boy, are they are angry. They are spitting mad that someone has dared to question anything they have done, which is why we have to be tougher, more resolute in our fight to break their grip on the country.

The grip is no more keenly felt than at the very agencies whose boot has been on the necks of lawful, responsible gun-owning Americans.  The Department of Justice – the FBI, ATF are chock-full to the gills with anti-Trump operatives who have been able to deliberately conceal all manner of sketchy activities, whether from Congress or the American people.  Imagine trying to make changes for more transparency and fiscal responsibility while surrounded by what legal scholar and author Hans Mahncke calls “a tenured army of left-wing activists, unfireable, hostile, and wholly uninterested in reform.”  Their single-minded mission is to outlast anyone who wants a shift in policy which means FBI Director Kash Patel is fighting against a machine of entrenched civil servants, many of whom are working FBI agents.  This is an incredibly tough hill to climb, but GOC is confident Kash and those he appoints will ultimately be able to kick some serious butt. The waiting, however, for the swamp creatures to be sacked (and prosecuted) is excruciating.

This is unfortunately happening at all levels of our federal government – even the National Institute of Health has faced mass walk-outs of scientists at the mere suggestion that COVID was manufactured in a lab in China.  Even well-schooled scientists will shun the science if it runs counter to their political idiosyncrasies!  GOC agrees with Mahncke when he says “The truth is that the remedies required are going to be far tougher and more radical than anything currently on the table.” 

Trump’s victory in November was – and still is – glorious.  But we’ve said it before and we will say it again: it can also send the wrong message that it’s time to sit back and relax.  THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO RELAX.  When your enemy is on his heels, this is the exact time to move forward with resolve, which is why GOC will keep hammering away that there are battles to be fought every day of the week.  We want to celebrate every win out there, but we must keep pushing ahead with the momentum that took us over the line in November.  In some ways, the battles are even greater – the anger, deceit and ugliness with which the Left has come at us has been stunning.  The media has given them a powerful boost and it’s unfortunate that so many folks have drunk the fake Koolaid news – and in such mass quantities.

Some have said this is a unique time to be politically alive and that the FAFO ethos is upon us. There’s no FA in the Gun Owners community – but we sure want the anti-gun Left to FO.
