But tonight I must say; it is nice that someone
in the media finally challenged David Hogg, the newly minted child advocate for “common
sense gun laws, at least a little bit.” His rhetoric has been ill-informed, and beyond reprehensible.
It is worth noting that Hogg will not appear on any news network where he might face scrutiny or
difficult questions. Nor will he be interviewed by any individual who might ask
him questions that differ with his own sheltered opinions.
He also refuses to
debate a fellow Parkland student whose opinions lean towards the protection of
The Second Amendment and the individual’s right to responsibility keep and bear
arms.
But setting that aside
for a moment, Hogg is still wrong about Senator Rubio.
By all accounts, Senator
Marco Rubio is a decent man who wishes no harm, nor ill will, towards
another human being.
Hogg is also
wildly misinformed about the NRA. Or, he is using lies as talking points to
promote an anti-Constitutional agenda.
The National Rifle
Association is not in the business of promoting the killing of children, or
anyone for that matter. The NRA at its core is an organization that promotes the safe and responsible use of firearms. It also happens to lobby Congress
towards the protection of The Second Amendment of The Constitution of The
United States of America.
For the sake of
comparison:
Planned Parenthood is
also a lobbying organization. It publicly promotes what it calls family
planning and women’s health.
But Planned Parenthood
also performed 323,999 abortions in 2014, according to statistics givens to
CNN. And that’s likely a consistent number, year over year.
Planned Parenthood
lobbies for the protection of abortion rights, which means it lobbies for its
own right to take the lives of unborn human beings, under the guise of “women’s
health.”
It is also worth noting
Planned Parenthood is funded in part by federal tax money.
That means whether or
not I like it, some of my taxes are paying for abortions. Many, including this American,
consider that fact a violation of our First Amendment, which protects our religious
liberty from the intrusion of government.
The NRA is funded by individuals and companies. It receives no taxpayer funding. It is true that
firearms manufacturers donate to the organization.
Planned Parenthood was
involved in the organization of the so-called “March For Our Lives” rallies
held nationwide last weekend.
I find it deeply ironic
that an organization that lobbies our government for its own right to take life
as a business, is promoting children in their advocacy against another
organization which does not take life, nor promote such immoral behavior.
