Academia, Hollywood, and Big-City Mayors
As you know, there are many threats to the Second Amendment out there. Yes, even after Donald Trump pulled off the biggest political upset in over six decades, there are still threats to the Second Amendment. But three don’t quite get the attention they should. Academia, Hollywood, and big-city mayors are all taking deadly aim to partially or totally strip away our Second Amendment rights.
The threat academia poses is a two-fold threat. The most notable threat comes when academics or others release studies like Arthur Kellerman’s claim that firearms are 42 times more likely to kill someone in the home than to be used to kill someone in self-defense. The media tends to run with these stories as well, helping the gun-grabbers make their case against our Second Amendment rights.
The second part is much more insidious. A look through some stories on this site should explain why. At Cornell University, the president of the College Republicans is assaulted. At Bryn Mawr, a student who supported Donald Trump was harassed so badly that she called the college’s suicide hotline before dropping out. The Philadelphia Inquirer noted that a student journalist who covered that story also faced harassment. A professor at Georgetown University cyberbullied a Muslim woman who voted for Trump for over a month. Want to be none of the perps in this series of incidents dealt with any consequences other than support for their actions? Also, keep in mind that in many colleges, there is a hostile climate for anyone who isn’t buying into the latest crusade from the SJWs.
Hollywood is not as bad, but let’s be very honest, Hollywood has drawn a bulls-eye on the Second Amendment. That said, Miss Sloane bombed, but star Jessica Chastain is up for a Golden Globe. We see other anti-Second Amendment messages all the time. Hollywood stars line up to express their support for gun-grabbers.
