Gun Control: It’s Not About Your Safety. It’s About Theirs. Zion Patriot, July 11, 2025July 11, 2025 We’re told gun control is about safety. About reducing crime. About protecting our communities. But let’s be honest—if that were true, we’d see real results by now. Instead, what we see is rising crime in cities with the strictest gun laws, armed security for politicians who claim you don’t need protection, and a relentless push to disarm law-abiding Americans while criminals run free. Gun control isn’t about your safety. It’s about theirs. The people demanding you give up your rights are the same ones surrounded by armed guards, living in gated communities, and chauffeured from place to place. They’re not afraid of criminals. They’re afraid of you—the citizen who still has the means to say “no.” An armed population is not easy to intimidate. It doesn’t bow to unlawful orders. It resists tyranny. The Founding Fathers understood this when they wrote the Second Amendment—not as a license for hunting or sport shooting, but as a safeguard against government overreach. The right to bear arms wasn’t granted by the government; it was protected from the government. History provides sobering examples. In country after country, disarmament has often preceded oppression. Once citizens were stripped of their means to defend themselves, those in power found it much easier to impose their will. Whether it was 20th-century Europe or more recent crackdowns across the globe, the pattern remains consistent: disarmed populations are vulnerable populations. Even if the ones pushing for gun control today seem well-intentioned, history teaches us a harsh lesson: power changes hands. And the next people in charge may not be so benevolent. The Second Amendment isn’t about trusting who’s in power now—it’s about preparing for who might come next. In America, we’re told “it could never happen here.” But freedom, once surrendered, is rarely returned. Each new law that chips away at gun rights is presented as common sense, but over time, those small losses add up—and the balance of power shifts. So when you hear a politician say, “It’s for your safety,” ask yourself: whose safety are they really concerned about? It’s not you. It’s them. They don’t want safer streets. They want safer power. They want to make sure that when they pass the next law, issue the next order, or crush the next dissent—they do it without fear of pushback. That’s why they’re coming for your rights. Because in the end, it’s not about YOUR safety. It’s about THEIRS. Gun Control Politics
