Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.

The Second Amendment has little relevance in modern society -- the constitutional right to bear arms is outdated -- Louis Farrakhan
WASHINGTON (CBS DC) – In the third installment of his 52-week sermon series, Nation of Islam leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan, ridiculed the “volatile” American right to own weapons.
On Sunday, Farrakhan continued “The Time and What Must Be Done” sermon series by stating that Americans are increasingly angry at the government, and are simultaneously preparing themselves for war. Farrakhan went on to say that the Second Amendment has little relevance in modern society, stating that the constitutional right to bear arms is outdated.
“See, the right to bear arms was given at a time when there was no regulated militia to protect America,” he said. “But now you have police well-armed, you have state troopers well-armed, you have the National Guard and you have federal troops.”
Problem: I see two issues, here. Who protects us from the projected tyranny of our own government? If not Obama, then someone years into the future will make an attempt to take over our national governance. Remember one of Murphy’s most reliable rules: if it can happen, it will happen; often true for good things, always true for the negative. Secondly, what of Farrakhan’s own possession and use of guns for “self protection." Obama and David Gregory and Al Jazeera Gore and anyone with money, can send their children to a private school, complete with armed personnel on campus, while the rest of us, the pee-on me class, are not so privileged. Yes, much of this is about the elitists among us and the peon class.
Understand that Farrakhan is as militant a black Muslim leader as we have in these United States. He has openly talked about taking his brand of justice into the streets, and he is not talking about peaceful demonstrations.
As I see this current anti-gun debate, the more the other side talks, the greater the likelihood that comprehensive gun reform will not happen. And Louis F does not help matters, at all. He is a classless hypocrite, one who smiles and talks softly but has revolution in his heart and mind. Take a good look at the picture in this post. If you think those folks, his little group of thugs, are not packing heat, well, you just do not understand the angry black anti-colonialist and his bias against the "Anglo-Saxon" cracker who gave us slavery, the Constitution, a repressive government and a white man's Jesus.
And B Hussein Obama has stirred these fires of resentment in an effort to create a crisis large enough to vomit open rebellion and the implementation of his deeply held, revolutionary, beliefs.
Why a national gun policy will not be as extreme as many fear.
USA/Today is reporting a huge growth in NRA membership:
A quarter of a million people have signed up for new NRA
memberships ahead of the White House Task Force's findings
Despite being associated with Hitler and the Nazi's; despite being called "baby killers" and associated with uncaring violence against children, NRA membership continues to grow.
More than this, the NRA's recent suggestion that on-campus personnel be given gun training and armed is being implemented across the nation. Understand that - omitting gang shootings - only one mass shooting since 1950 has taken place in non "gun free zone." The Aurora Colorado shooting took place in posted "no carry" theater. Sandy Hook was the only posted "gun free" school out of seven other neighborhood schools in the area. And, none of the shootings were done by members of the NRA.
I am an NRA member and have 18 grandchildren (seriously). To argue that I do not care about their lives, that my guns are more important than their safety, is a hateful lie told by folks who are either insincere or stupid.
Anyone remember the deep south of 80 years ago and how easily Democrat mobs could be stirred up, leading to the hanging of one black man after another? This is what is going on, now, in this country. Look, when a president announces against guns as he stands in front of a host of children (something he is going to do this morning), he is attempting to stir up unreasonably felt emotions, he is using the event of "emotional blackmail" to make his case. Governor Cuomo, signed into law a gun reform law that will solve absolutely nothing, a signing that accompanied an emotional "lets go hang the culprits" type speech that challenges his claim to reasonable leadership.
In the end, the so-called "gun lobby" has too many voting members for this matter to get too far off track.
