Just One More Step

Over the past two years, the Twin Falls Police Department has been collecting seized and abandoned firearms. Recenly, the Twin Falls Police decided to do a little house cleaning. In doing so, the city thought it best to have the firearms destroyed. In the past, seized firearms were auctioned to gun dealers, whe then legally sold these firearms to citizens.

The Times News reports that this new policy is part of the city's crime prevention and reduction program. Evident;y, the concern is that auctioned firearms will end up in the hands of criminals. But is this necessary? According to Police Captain Bob Hodge. no firearm sold by the city to a gun dealer has ever turned up in another crime. So what factors have motivated the city to destroy these firearms?

I suggest this new policy for seized and abandoned firearms is just one more step in the "left-wing fraud factory's" process of Socializing the United States. The destruction of these firearms, is the symptom of a philosophical disease called liberalism.

Liberalism is a philosophy which advances many devious ideas. Among these ideas is the belief that certain enlightened and empowered elitists have a sacred duty to protect us, (meaning you and me), from ourselves. This is accomplished by creating 'big government', then using the government to promote Socialistic programs and to meddle in local affairs.

The decision to destroy these firearms was made locally by well meaning administrators, but you can be your left-wing, er arm, that it was influenced by ideas coming from liberal 'thinkers' with designs on controlling and eventually eliminating the private ownership of firearms.

Liberalism is a disease eating at the political, religious, and economic foundation of this country. Learn to recognize it. Learn to stand against it. Freedom is maintained be educated, morally accountable, and involved citizens.
