The Second Amendment Has Some New Heroes

The Second Amendment has a new set of heroes. These are people with true stories, facts, and concerns about how the government handles safety.

These new heroes who have taken up the gauntlet in defending our Right to Bear Arms: women.

The National Rifle Association has been touting it’s renewed support among women with ads aimed to lift women out of the victimhood that liberalism and gun control advocates place them under. These ads are not spreading fear, but empowerment.

Dana Loesch of TheBlaze has been a longtime defender of the Second Amendment. She literally wrote the book on it, Hands Off My Gun, which became a bestseller. She has been a force of nature, taking on leading gun control organizations and openly challenging their manufactured figures and controversy. She has been a member of the NRA for sometime, being featured at several events and was part of their “Commentators” series of viral videos.

Recently, Mrs. Loesch was featured in “Freedom’s Safest Place” series of online videos. Her video is titled “Real Empowerment” is a warning for rapists who might attempt to prey on women. She says that real empowerment looks like putting her safety into her owns hands, using her right to bear arms.

However, she is not the only woman who is standing up for her rights. More videos have been released with the purpose of challenging the status quo and the stereotypes behind gun ownership.

Kimberly Corban, a rape survivor turned gun rights advocate, has taken a truly horrifying experience and made it into a testimony about standing up for yourself. She even had the opportunity to confront President Barack Hussein Obama at a townhall about his policies. She tells her story on her own “Freedom’s Safest Place” video titled “Never Again.” She was again featured in a NRA video titled “Defend Your Right To Self-Defense.”

Joining Loesch and Corban is Antonia Okafor, who is a campus correspondent for Campus Reform. Her “Freedom’s Safest Place” video is titled “I Didn’t Listen” where she touches on the racist attitudes behind gun control. She declares she did not listen to those who called her an “Uncle Tom” for standing up for her right to own a gun.

No longer do liberals have a hold on the perception of gun rights advocates, claiming they are old white men. These are women who have courageously put themselves in the line of fire to defend the Second Amendment.
