I was walking around on campus today when something caught my eye. It was a poster with a winged, rainbow colored pony advertising that the local "Gay Pride" club was having a meeting at 6:00pm tonight. I shrugged and walked on, little down the way I saw another poster, this one advertising the "College of Southern Idaho diversity council". Again I walked on thinking nothing of it. Than I came across the "CSI Democratic Interest group". Of course this one got me thinking: "Pfft, Democrats. Probably just a bunch of gun hating, latte sipping, hybrid car driving, Marx/Lenin worshiping...." And so forth until the light bulb came on in my head and told me to stop being so judgmental.
Than I thought: America is always so afraid to step on a minority/political interest group. The Racial Minorities, Gay Rights Groups, Pot Promoters, and yes, even the anti-gunners. I'm totally okay with equal representation of all parties, yes even the Anti-Gunners. As much as I hate them we wouldn't be the Home of The Free if we didn't allow everyone to complain.
But why aren't Pro Second Amendment groups treated the same way? Not even groups but gun owners as individuals are mistreated in some cases as well. I don't personally experience it in my own free state of Idaho but I've read stories here on The High Road as well as internet news outlets.
It seems like wherever you turn in current national events it's the gun owners getting the shaft.
Aren't we just like the Racial Minorities? The Gay Rights groups? Dare I say, the Anti-Gunners? Shouldn't we be represented as well and taken seriously like everyone else? I know the NRA is fighting hard right now, but where's our Dr. Martin Luther King? Our Malcolm X?
Hell, much like during the Civil Rights movement, are constitutional rights are under fire. And we're not one group of people, 2A people come from all parts of America, I'd be willing to bet that gun culture is the best melting pot in the United States.
When our Children's Children read their History books will the "Second Amendment Movement" Even be a blip on the radar?
What do you think THR? I'm just a student on a rant.
