Leftist Celebrities Prove They Don’t Understand Gun Rights, the Need for Guns, or Their Lack of Influence – Opinion

I thank the good Lord above that I’m not constantly surrounded by people who tell me I’m right and shower me with adoration on a constant basis. Sure, it’d be nice to get it every once in a while, but if I had it consistently I’d be many leftist celebrities who live in their own ideological bubble.

One example is the Uvalde Texas school shooting. This was the point when the bubble became evident.

Naturally, the ladies of “The View” would have an absolutely ridiculous take about it, but co-host Whoopi Goldberg didn’t just have one. She was able to count on several.

In one of the more unhinged rants she’s been on, Goldberg proceeded to tell viewers that they’re not allowed to have AR-15s anymore, why she thinks we own guns in the first place, and then encouraged viewers to go vote for the “right people.”

She started by saying the AR-15 “has got to go” due to the mass shootings they’ve been involved in, including Buffalo, New York. She also suggested that people still won’t go shopping anywhere because “nobody will bring a supermarket where these folks are living.”

I’m not sure what she meant by that, other than she’s saying no one will open up stores in these areas now because a shooting happened.

She continued by saying too many lives have been at stake, including children’s, then gave us the “do something” quote the left loves so much. That was when she turned her attention to what she knew was going to get an applause line from her crowd, and that’s bringing up the NRA. Goldberg followed with a demonstration of her ignorance about firearm ownership.

“I don’t care NRA, you got to give that gun up,” Goldberg said. “You can have your other ‘yee-haw’ guns, whatever you want. AR-15 does not make a good hunting gun. It’s not a gun where you’re going to go out and shoot your dinner. It’s meant to kill. That’s what it’s for. And you can’t have it anymore. And I’m not even going to tell you how pissed I am so many folks are saying you can’t have what you need for your body, forget my body, you can’t have this gun because it kills people and children and I’m sick of it.”

Firstly, the NRA didn’t have anything to do with the shooting. The NRA does not distribute weapons to the insane and gives information about soft targets. Goldberg is, attempting to direct hate at the NRA because it’s a lightning rod to attract hatred against the right, which for a time, largely supported the NRA, though has lost quite a bit of its influence in the recent past due to internal controversies.

Secondly, she’s right, the gun is meant to kill people. An AR-15 is a weapon that can be used for hunting, but our guns are our rights to protect ourselves against any threat. This includes our government if it stops obeying its constitutional duties. This was a point that the founding fathers made very clear.

Thirdly…who does Goldberg think she is? We can’t have our own property anymore? Is she convinced that her influence is so great? Is she aware of the consequences of trying to confiscate these guns? Do you think she will be the one to take them all?

I doubt it. It is evident by her ramblings that she does not understand the concept of rights. The video below explains why I think it is impossible.
