Why July Should Be Firearm Freedom Month

D. Parker, at the American Thinker today reports that the American Revolution began because of an attempt by the British government to confiscate our firearms in Celebrating the firearms freedoms that made independence possible. Parker sets the stage for his discussion using the recent stripping of the Hearing Protection Act and the SHORT act from the Big Beautiful Bill as a point of departure:

It should be clear by now that we're fighting an uphill battle against the fear and falsehood tactics of the gun-grabber left.
These were their go-to techniques in defeating legislation that would help protect people's hearing and right a wrong in the arbitrary regulation of barrel lengths.
It didn't seem to matter to this ghoulish lobby that they were lying outright in several instances or that they exploited fear to defeat these measures.
It only matters to them that they maintain their power over the people.
So, consider the case for celebrating our firearm freedoms in July and start reclaiming our rights.
Remember that they want to boycott or even cancel the holiday, so they shouldn't mind if we make it about guns for the whole month, right?

After setting the stage for his essay, Parker starts by recounting the history of the shot heard round the world in Concord, Massachusetts and its immediate after effects. Let's just say that the Redcoats retreat to Boston was, shall we say, unpleasant, as it should have been. He then notes that the Revolution started over firearms freedom, and that firearms freedom has remained as the guarantor of the rest of the Bill of Rights.

The revolution was sparked by firearm freedom, and these were essential in the attainment of independence. It's vitally important to remember that firearms made independence and the 4th of July possible in the first place, as well as keeping us independent and free.
Firearms are the backbone of the Bill of Rights; they put the steel in a document that could easily end up being ignored. This is why it's incessantly attacked on every level of government by the left.
Strangely enough, they don't even know of this constant assault on freedom. For example, a leftist recently posted a short video, with full-on TDS and talking of some of the rights she thought were being threatened, when she then blurted out something on what if they 'started' coming after the Second Amendment.

Started? As an old fart I well remember the lead up to the 1968 Gun Control Act (GCA) and have studied the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA). The Left has been coming for our firearms at least that long, and as these two laws have proven, they have succeeded far beyond what they should have done. The Bible tells us that Beelzebub (actually Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron in 2 Kings) rules this world, so it should not surprise us that he is always trying to undermine our ability to defend ourselves.

Noting that the revolution that brought us independence and eventually the Constitution started because of gun confiscation, and our Second Amendment was written expressly for the purpose of keeping our Bill of Rights under the Constitution, Parker proposes that July be firearm freedom month. I can't think of anything better.

Showing that the left knows that our firearm freedoms are the backbone of the Bill of Rights. They know that if these were gone as in other nations, the Bill of Rights would be nothing but flowery words on old parchment, and they would ignore them as they do elsewhere
.
Therefore, it's time that we start pushing back on the culture and the fear tactics, and the lies of the left to maintain and advance our freedoms.
Thus, the point of celebrating our Firearm freedoms in July.
Note that this started as 'gun pride month' but we're way beyond that now.
