Chris Kyle--A Hero, A Gentleman And A Major Loss To All Freedom Loving Americans.

VIDEO: Here’s the Urgent Warning Chris Kyle Issued About Obama

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015

As Clint Eastwood’s latest film, “American Sniper,” continues to enjoy unprecedented success, its hero is becoming something of a posthumous cult figure for American conservatives — in a good way.

And with good reason. Chris Kyle was not only a deadly sniper and military hero, he was also an obviously thoughtful man with strong American values and a good sense of humor.

And it is clear from this 2013 interview that he was also an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment right of all Americans to keep and bear arms.

“I don’t know exactly what he’s doing,” Kyle said then, referring to Obama’s efforts to enact gun control according to guns.com, “but I know he’s definitely against the Second Amendment, and he’s trying to ban everything.”

Kyle had some specific predictions about how that would work out when it came time to try to enforce such bans.

“Good luck,” he said. “Because I’ve talked to a bunch of the cops and the Secret Service guys. They’re not going to dare go to anyone’s house [to confiscate weapons], especially if they know they have guns. They don’t want to be knocking on doors.”

The former Navy SEAL said that the larger agenda was the elimination of the rights of all Americans under the Second Amendment.

“You start putting these bans in effect — you know, these people who don’t know anything about the guns — and they start thinking, ‘Well, who needs 30-round magazines?'” he said. “Really? That’s just opening the door so you can start taking more of our rights.”

And at the end of the day, Kyle said, the real issue was about defending those rights.

“It was there, it was started by our Founding Fathers, and they had the same weapons the military did,” he argued. “We don’t even have that today. But don’t try to take what I’ve already got.”

The issue, of course, is not about whether anyone “needs” a 30-round magazine, any more than the civil rights movement was about Rosa Parks’ “need” to sit at the front of the bus.

The issue is about rights — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — and the ability of government to impinge upon those rights in any way it sees fit unless prevented from doing so by an armed citizenry.

In other words, it’s about freedom versus tyranny. And that’s a fact that Chris Kyle seemed to understand perfectly well.
