I’m about to leave with my family to church, but I woke up early this morning thinking about a few things, and I just wanted to share them with you before I head out the door.
As of this morning, we are 43 days out from an election that I think will be a major pivot point in America.
Earlier this week on Wednesday, a video surfaced of then-California-Attorney General Kamala Harris openly admitting to a news reporter what we’ve always known about Democrat “Safe Storage” laws:
“and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs.”
I think “tells” like her statement above are revealing.
I think that if the Democrats win in November (God forbid) that we will see them become far more aggressive than ever before, with a whole lot less talking and a whole lot more tyranny.
Fifteen years ago, if a Democrat candidate for President would’ve been caught on camera saying what Kamala said, the resulting clarion call would absolutely crush their party in the following elections.
The same could be said, obviously, for multiple assassination attempts.
But that is not what we’re seeing.
Instead, we are seeing a neck-and-neck battle to the finish that spells very bad news for you and me if Kamala “wins.”
Why is this happening?
Well, I’m sure there will be books written about the cultural decline of America in the years to come.
But my knee-jerk answer to that question is a simple one:
The Left now controls pop culture, like America’s institutions, our education system, our entertainment industry, legacy media, social media (except for a few platforms like Elon Musk’s X, and hey, give me a follow!) and most of the government bureaucracy.
When you combine that with their deliberate attacks on and destruction of the family, community and church, the result is a society that is manufacturing voters with every graduating high school class who are controlled by the culture instead of faith, reason and common sense — incapable of voting in ways that are not self-destructive.
It’s what Benjamin Franklin was talking about when he said, “a Republic, ma’am, if you can keep it.”
Another Founding Father, President John Adams, described what I’m trying to say perfectly when he said that “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
The Radical, Progressive, cultural Marxists on the Left have for decades been taking a sledgehammer to the moral foundation of America in the deliberate effort to topple America’s Constitutional Republic.
Believe it or not, you and I have been coexisting in a country with people who want nothing more than to see America burned to the ground.
I’m afraid things may get worse before they get better, but that brings me back to the November elections.
Will the November elections, if they go our way, change the fundamental moral, political and cultural problems the Left is manufacturing in this country?
Maybe not.
But if these elections do go our way, it will hopefully give us time we need very badly to make course corrections and get on better footing for what lies ahead.
That is my hope.
If the elections do NOT go our way, however, I don’t want the first time you consider that possibility to be the morning of November 6th.
That’s why I’m encouraging all of our members and supporters to dig in locally, as much as you can.
Get to know your neighbors. Do things with them. Do things for them. Expand the size of your local friend group. Develop some basic trust in each other and practice helping each other out.
We’re a gun rights organization, so of course I’m going to encourage you to get together with those neighbors, your church friends, your family, whatever, and go to the gun range. Practice some basic drills and tactics.
It sounds silly, but I’d be silly if I didn’t ask you a personal question: can you provide clean drinking water and sanitation for your family if the water faucet stops working?
Can you eat for a couple of weeks if your local grocery store suddenly stopped getting daily food truck deliveries?
It’s 2024, and I don’t like thinking about or talking like this more than anyone, but corrupt governments and actors have rotted empires from within many times in human history, and when I see who is running America today, it is very clear they are a rotting and corrupt class of people who have America’s worst interests at heart.
They hate you, they hate me, they hate America, they hate freedom, they hate the Christian, Western Civilization principles our nation was built on, and many of them are deliberately trying to destroy this nation.
I wanted to mention a few of these things in an email to you because the fact of the matter is that I care about you guys and gals that make up the membership of the Illinois Firearms Association.
In all of the 2nd Amendment fights we’ve been in together over the last couple years, I’ve developed many personal friendships with many of you, and the respect and affection I’ve developed for you all is from the bottom of my heart.
Strange times lie ahead.
If someone had told me in 2019 how 2020-2023 was going to play out, I would not have believed them, so I don’t think it is a stretch of the imagination to say that some strange or bad things can happen in the years we face now.
No matter what, the Illinois Firearms Association remains committed to being your rock-solid voice in Springfield and DC, and we promise to keep fighting hard as hell because these bastards are doing everything they can to destroy our Second Amendment.
And it truly is the one Right that protects all the others.
Pro Rege,
Aaron Dorr
Executive Director
