Freedom Friday No. 5: "How Do I Feel About The Freedom To Bear Arms?"

Freedom Friday has taken off to an amazing start, I've received tremendous support from @freedomtribe and @tribesteemup. Many others have privately messaged me to encourage my efforts to bring forth truth and inspiration to those that believe in freedom in every fiber of their Being.

As you all know, I thought of bringing Freedom Friday to Steemit after I saw a young girl speak her truth and "disappear" for her brave action. When it comes to these topics of freedom, they are one's we must really consider in order break free from the tyranny humankind has been undergoing for hundreds of years.

This week I chose freedom to bear arms, the topic is serious in nature and sensitive to many people worldwide. The way the world (people in power) have individuals conditioned, it is no wonder there is a lot of confusion as to if a weapon of any kind is healthy or wise to have in one's possession. This is all understandable and I respect the way anyone feels, however, this post will be how I feel about weaponry and the freedom to bear arms.

So let's begin ...

How Life Can Change Perspective

I'm going to share a bit more of my background with you today, and I begin with a time in my life that was not easy. We all have our story and since the topic is weaponry I would like to share my own life experience about the subject. My childhood was actually very peaceful and carefree, until my mother decided to leave my dad. When we came back from living overseas she took up with a drug dealer. I couldn't believe my bad luck to be put in this situation. From a young age I knew who I was and knew where I wanted to go and how to get there. Don't ask me how, I just did.

Well, this drug dealer pretty much destroyed all my plans and many would say it was "destined" to be so. I have my own ideas about this but that theory is for another time. What did happen was that I was introduced to weaponry. There were swords, guns, knives, and drugs everywhere. Drug dealers, addicts, hookers, and partygoers passed through my front door at all hours of the day. It was a true nightmare that I was very ill prepared to deal with.

Many of the drug addicts showed up dead down at the local train tracks or someone was getting shot on the daily. This was the other spectrum of my childhood that I rarely discuss, but shooting guns became a hobby. Oftentimes, we would all go camping or to someone's house and I was guided on how to use a gun, machete, knives, hand grenade and other forms of "fun." Yes folks, these were not licensed and as we all know illegal weapons are very easy to obtain on the street.

This was not my idea of how I wanted to live my life or ever something I wanted to learn. It was something that just happened. I've had the displeasure of being in house raids where police had guns in my face and I was just a tween, the bust was even televised. There was a different occasion where someone was lit on PCP and wanted to shoot my dog, well guess who came to her rescue? Me.

I stood straight in front of that man with his wild red eyes as I looked straight into his soul, he of course had his pistol aimed straight at my head and there was no one who came to my defense. All I can remember is time slowed down, and everything moved in milli-second increments. I pushed my little face to his and met him eye-to-eye. No Fear. The man put his gun away and ran off into the woods, and acted like nothing happened the next morning. I was 14 years old.

I'm sharing all of this because sometimes we are brought into situations where we may not ever want to hold a gun, but through life experience learn we need some sort of protection. My life in California went from that crazy period of time to being surrounded by gang life and then a long time in New York City. Experience after experience always showed that I had to be cautious and aware, that there is always someone ready to take a person's life in the world we live in, and that message hasn't changed much over the years.

Perspective On Freedom To Bear Arms

Within my life experiences I saw the violence of 9/11 come and go, looting (with weapons) in New York City during the blackout, during the New York City hurricanes when people pointed guns at each other just for gas. This was pretty horrific and in my opinion this is not an American thing, this is a human thing. We hear about people from all over the world treating each other this way when disasters strike -- this is real life survival.

Time has finally come to a point where we are blatantly seeing and hearing about mass shootings and this makes many of us ill. None of us want this (well most of us), however, we are also seeing where people are starting to bear arms, even teachers who feel the need to protect the children in their care. The conceal carry class I took, my entire class was filled with teachers ready to bear arms in Colorado.

Over time I felt the need to move to a state where I had the choice to obtain a gun legally if I wanted too. There was far too much restriction in New York and California, so this was an added plus moving to Colorado. My last period of living in California brought me the wonderful experiences of seeing people shot daily on the streets and many shoot outs on the highway from road rage. I was done, and wanted to gear up legally.

The point I'm trying to make here is I can show you law after law in many countries where the right to bear arms is allowed. Whether or not you feel superior in any way because you think your country is only about peace and no weaponry, I can show you a law where ine of your freedoms has been taken away. My words to you are do not judge. Unless you have lived it, then you really do not know.

Much of what we see on mainstream media has been planted by those trying to keep us enslaved. For instance, the festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, the night club shooting in Florida where people came out of nowhere, or at a high school where many shots were heard from all directions and the cops stood down. This has all been misinformation to rile people up and create a mass fear of weaponry, not the reality.

What really got my blood boiling was watching as Lavoy Finnecum was shot down in cold blood over a uranium deal that was put in place by crooked politicians and government. When the day of justice for these types of atrocities arrive will be the day I can breathe a sigh of relief. There are way too many incidents that are unexplained, and let me reiterate if you did not see it with your own eyes be careful not to judge if you are not from America. Partial stories are being released to the public to cause separation of like-minded awakened people. The goal by all of us who are awake is to stick together and work in harmony.

Believe it or not people who own guns or legal weaponry are not lovers of killing, many of us have weaponry in our bloodline. Almost every Native American I know has a love of just having bows and arrows for hunting and a gun for target practice, it's a cultural thing and one that involves education and respect for any weapon.


Be Prepared

I've found out quite a bit about the laws of Canada, Australia, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, and many others that have very interesting gun laws. Maybe try looking them up before passing judgment. After telling my story, I'm too tired to do your research for you, so please explore your own gun laws before judging a country that is fighting for global freedoms at levels you may not understand at this point in time.

Whether we know it or not, a mass awakening is occurring and with that does come responsibility. We hear words such as paradigm shift, change in reality, change in earth, humanity, and much more. This can all sound very frightening to some, but myself and others are here to help and bring awareness so people are prepared when the time comes.

Some questions to ask ourselves are:

  • Will we be ready to fight or do we feel aliens or Jesus is going to come down from the heavens to save us? Many of us feel that the fighting may have to include us too, so will we be able to possibly kill for our freedom?

  • Will we be able to stand up to those in "power" when and if we are asked to do so or will we go get chipped and live like a slave in our allotted home and given our portion of food by those in charge?

These are some things to think about, and not mentally or emotionally tune out of the conversation. We may not agree on anything to do with fighting, war, or killing but does that mean we should allow the freedom to be stripped away from bearing a weapon? I think and feel not. After all, we are speaking of freedom and I fight for the freedom on all topics.

My hope is that I will never have to harm a soul and that the shift will take place well before I ever have to make that decision or be asked to do so. When the time comes, I'm ready to fight for not only myself but for humankind. Fighting is in my blood, it's also ingrained in who I've become as one who believes peace can be achieved by a mass awakening, but there are other forces out there that are much stronger than humankind. Ones that we only hear about in whispers, there are many names for them and I will not go into that at this time.

If you are looking for more articles and links to research, I'd highly recommend the post written by @kennyskitchen, he gives great points in his post Freedom Friday: "How Do I Feel About The Freedom To Bear Arms?" Weekly Prompt from @EagleSpirit & @FreedomTribe. For now I leave you with my answer and that is, in the timeline we are living the freedom to bear arms is essential in a world where we are surrounded by violence. Until the day comes where love and peace will be the law of the land then this is what we must allow, if only temporarily.

Yours,
