Why Liberals Hate Guns Neal Boortz Thursday, June 15, 2000 When you hear screams for gun control you can almost bet the farm that the screams are coming from a big-government liberal. Why is this? Don’t liberals want to protect themselves from crime too? If a liberal wakes up in the middle of the night to hear someone coming through the bedroom door, wouldn’t they like to reach for a gun for some protection? Finally, I think I have it. There’s a movie set for release this weekend called "The Patriot." It stars Mel Gibson. I like Gibson. He’s stayed married to the same woman for a lengthy period of time. That’s nice to see. He also once told a reporter that he would give up smoking when Clinton gave up lying. That’s nice to hear. There’s a historically accurate scene in "The Patriot," which is about the American Revolutionary War, that is causing liberals great anguish. In this politically incorrect scene Gibson’s cinema character actually hands rifles to his two sons, one 10, the other 13, and off they go to protect their farm and their freedom from the Redcoat onslaught. Then, the unthinkable happens. These two "children" actually fire those guns at British soldiers and KILL them – just to defend themselves and their property – oh, and to fight for freedom! Then it hit me. Just like a mathematical equation. American patriots would not have been able to fight for their freedom without guns. Therefore, guns equal freedom. No guns, no freedom. Liberals made that association long ago. They, too, know that people cannot fight for or preserve freedom unless they have the means to do so – and that means guns. Liberals are not lovers of freedom. Liberals believe that the average person is simply too ignorant to be free. They believe that the average person can only live a fulfilling life with the help and guidance of those who are more qualified, capable and intelligent – and that, of course, would be the leftist intelligentsia. Liberals love government. They love coercive government. If there were a revolutionary war today, it would not be the liberals waiting to see the whites of their eyes. Liberals are well aware of the interconnect between guns and freedom. So, now you know why liberals hate guns.
