Georgia – -(AmmoLand.com)- One thing that Second Amendment supporters need to understand: Anti-Second Amendment extremists hate you. There is no compromise to be had with them. In their mind, by defending your rights, you are now an accessory to any horrific crime or act of madness that involves the misuse of firearms, be it Sandy Hook, Parkland, Las Vegas, or Tucson.
For example, take a look at some of the rhetoric from Raphael Warnock, who is trying to unseat Kelly Loeffler in a special election in Georgia that is due to take place on January 5. Second Amendment supporters backed President Trump in his successful 2016 campaign and the unresolved 2020 campaign for very valid reasons:
- We don’t want to be punished for horrific crimes and acts of madness we did not commit.
- We think that many gun control laws not only fail to address violent crime, but in a number of cases, actually make the problem worse.
- We seek to exercise our God-given right to self-defense with the tools we feel will be most effective.
- We believe that a robust Second Amendment is a key firewall against tyranny.
The list is not exclusive, but the preceding list is arguably a good start. Debate on that, though, can wait for another time. The thing is, Second Amendment issues were one major reason that many loyal Ammoland readers supported President Trump.
Warnock thinks you need to “repent” for that support. In his mind, you’ve committed an act of evil in doing so. In a way, it’s similar to the Ossoff opinion that your defense of the Second Amendment makes you corrupt. They believe that people who resist being punished for crimes and acts of madness they didn’t commit are really accessories to the next horrific crime or act of madness that happens.
So, while Warnock works with Bloomberg’s Everytown and other anti-Second Amendment groups to punish you for crimes you didn’t commit and then proceeds to blame your efforts to defend your rights for the next tragedy, you need to start doing some hard work yourself. Warnock cloaks his unjust attacks on our rights in the guise of religion. The no that we need to do “penance” for our Second Amendment activism, when you get right down to it, is really just another form of Second Amendment shaming.
The thing is, Second Amendment supporters have nothing to be ashamed of. Warnock may call personal responsibility a “lie” in his sermons that call for gun control, but we know that personal responsibility comes hand in hand with our rights. Right now, we have a responsibility to ensure that Warnock doesn’t take his hatred of us to the Senate.
Second Amendment supporters should go to Senator Loeffler’s campaign site to see how they can help her win the special election. In addition, they need to support the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund to be ready for the 2022 midterms, no matter who wins the White House.

Can someone please convey a message? Please tell Raphael Warnock to go fuck himself. I will NOT be repenting for ANYTHING covered under the United States Constitution, and that also goes for “my Whiteness.” I’ve noticed, the people who most often run around accusing others of being racists, like democrats CONSTANTLY do, are the same people who can’t seem to have a single conversation without mentioning skin color.
“In their mind, by defending your rights, you are now an accessory to any horrific crime or act of madness that involves the misuse of firearms, be it Sandy Hook, Parkland, Las Vegas, or Tucson.”
So by the same token, any person with a D after their name on the voter list, any household that placed a Biden/Harris sign on their lawn is complicit in the fraud that was the 2020 election. They need to answer for the most treasonous action this country has seen in it’s history.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM
He needs to go read the Bible where Jesus speaks about self defense.
Raphael Warnock is a Communist thus antithetical to a Constitutional
republic, next would be petty tyrant.
I agree.
Also, it is advisable to research your local Republican politicians. It’s easy to see which bills they vote for and which ones they don’t. Also, are they passive (vote properly, but don’t sponsor bills that are Pro 2nd Amendment)? If so, they might need a reminder to get in the game.
Warnock is one of those Ministers the Bible warns us to be vigilant against. Cloaking their messages of hate and biblically false narrative in a thin facade of Christianity, but the message is contradictory to Christ’s teachings.
He’s a False Prophet.
Harold, ask the cat lady what she thinks about Red Flag laws, bump stocks, pistol braces, and the BATFE implementing gun control through administrative action without legislative involvement.
I’d really like to hear her view. Unfortunately, they don’t communicate with members. It’s always “shut up and send me money.”
Please explain why you think they should have our financial support.
So, Harold, were you drunk or just higher than a kite when you hit the enter button.
As far as Raphael Warnock is concerned, every time I see him or hear his name I am reminded that in his spare time he is most likely on his knees servicing the male member of any number of his tranny associates. But then who am I to discredit a man’s source of pleasure.
Pastor Warnock doesn’t know the Bible as much as he knows the Communist Manifesto. Moses in the Old Testament teaches that self defense is within the law of God. It is the responsibly of the citizen to protect others from violence. Someone needs to post this on Senators Perdue’s and Loeffler’s web sites and also on Warnick’s from which it will be quickly removed. The commandment is not, Thou shalt not kill. The commandment is Thais shalt do no murder. Murder is initiated. Self defense is a response to a threat. How did that guy ever get ordained. He must… Read more »
They’ve all got their enemies lists, and we’re on them. But we’ve been on their enemies list for decades now, via the UN’s IDDRS. Second Amendment Advocates are at the TOP of their enemies list, because we’re the only ones standing in their way today. The bottom line is that they’ve got their agenda, and we and our guns are in their way. We’re the ONLY thing in their way, and we’re going to need to be exterminated soon.
