A slew of murders over the past several weeks has re-ignited the Democrats’ tiresome, unconstitutional, and illogical arguments against the Second amendment. The Democrat Party’s solution to the so-called gun violence epidemic in America is to effectively punish law-abiding citizens for the crimes of the guilty. “If we take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, then criminals won’t use guns to commit murder,” Democrats believe.
But any rational American knows this argument is asinine. Criminals commit crimes. Morally depraved and mentally ill individuals commit murder. America’s problem is not an abundance of guns, but an abundance of criminals and a proliferation of hatred, amorality, and a disregard for the sanctity of human life. If the Democrat Party was serious about curbing the epidemic of gun violence in America, they would look in the mirror, because it is their policies and rhetoric that have contributed to the pandemic sweeping across our country.
This pandemic didn’t originate in a Wuhan laboratory, but instead has been cultivated and released right here at home. Its origins are in the Democrat Party. We are reaping what the Democrat Party has sown: the seeds of hatred, intolerance, moral relativism, and division — an outright rejection of the guiding moral principles of the Ten Commandments.
America was founded on Judeo-Christian values. This is undeniable and consequential. James Madison stated in 1778 that “We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments of God.” Despite this, the Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that the Ten Commandments could not be posted in our public schools.
