AWR Hawkins drops a bombshell truth bomb in his latest piece, declaring that *all* gun control is unnatural and a direct assault on our God-given right to self-defense—a stance that should be mandatory reading for every patriot waving the 2A flag. Hawkins isn’t mincing words: he traces this back to the foundational American ethos, where the Second Amendment isn’t some optional policy preference but a divine endowment echoed in scripture and enshrined in the Constitution. Think about it—Genesis 1:26 hands dominion to humanity, and self-preservation flows straight from there. Gun controllers, in Hawkins’ view, aren’t just meddling bureaucrats; they’re playing God, overriding natural law with their nanny-state edicts. This isn’t hyperbole; it’s a razor-sharp reminder that rights preexist government, and any control scheme—from red flag laws to mag bans—is an existential threat to liberty.
Zoom out for context, and Hawkins’ argument lands like a .45 ACP in a zombie apocalypse scenario. We’ve seen this playbook before: post-Sandy Hook, the push for common-sense reforms ballooned into outright confiscation fantasies, with Biden’s ATF fast-tracking pistol brace rules and ghost gun crackdowns that criminalize DIY ingenuity. Hawkins exposes the slippery slope—today’s assault weapon ban is tomorrow’s handgun registry. For the 2A community, the implications are crystal clear: this is war on multiple fronts. Politically, it rallies us ahead of midterms, where swing-district RINOs could flip under pressure from Bloomberg bucks. Culturally, it arms us with rhetoric that resonates beyond the gun club, framing disarmament as spiritual tyranny. Data backs it: FBI stats show armed self-defense stops crimes 2.5 million times yearly (per Kleck’s research), dwarfing misuse rates. Ignoring Hawkins means ceding ground to emotional narratives over empirical reality.
Bottom line? Hawkins isn’t just opining; he’s handing the 2A movement a manifesto to counter the gun-grabbers’ moral high ground. Share this widely, print it for your next range day debate, and let’s turn required reading into required action. Our rights aren’t up for negotiation—they’re etched in eternity. Stay vigilant, stay armed.
