May 4, 2013 - Radio host Glenn Beck speaks at the NRA Stand and Fight Rally, an event of the 2013 NRA Annual Meetings in Houston, Texas. In his highly-anticipated keynote speech, Beck conveys his message through stories often ignored by the mainstream media of law-abiding citizens defending themselves with firearms, and the cold, hard facts about gun control that have been rejected by the political elites. "So what is this gun, good or evil? It is nothing! A gun is only a reflection of the people that use it," he declares. Beck didn't discriminate politically as he blasted Democrats and Republicans for promoting and implementing a progressive ideology that is "antithetical" to our Constitutional Republic. Unfortunately, he explained, the problem is everywhere in media, churches and educational systems across the country. He jabbed a number of celebrities and politicians for anti-gun hypocrisy, including Michael Moore, Jim Carrey and, of course, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Beck said there is a "tough journey ahead" for gun owners in America, proclaiming that "this weekend, I believe, is one of the most important moments in American history and the defining moment for the NRA."
He explained that big government progressives actually believe they can make better decisions for Americans than they can make themselves. "I will not comply!" Beck said emphatically, drawing the first of several standing ovations during his speech.
But the four things Americans need to know for the battle ahead, according to Beck, are: "What we fight, who we fight, why we fight, and how we fight." Beck also told some of the many, many stories TheBlaze has covered about good, law-abiding people with firearms defending themselves, their families and property.
On April 4, just one month ago in Portland, Oregon, a woman was attacked around 10 p.m. after she had gotten out of her car, Beck told a captivated audience. A man approached her from behind and dragged her backwards by her ponytail. We know what would have happened next, but this woman had a gun. She pointed it at the man and "he ran like a little girl," he said.
He went on to tell the story of a elderly woman in Youngstown, Ohio, who was strapped to an oxygen tank at her home when someone broke the glass on her front door and entered. She retrieved her revolver and warned him to leave, and when he didn't, she shot him and held him for police.
Additionally, in Texas recently, attackers sexually assaulted a mother and her daughter, Beck said. The woman's son was also tied up but managed to get free and grab a handgun, sending the two men fleeing from the home.
"It happens every day. Every day," Beck said, "and it seems to me that we are the only major media outlet in the country with the guts to report it. Why? Because the truth has no agenda...guns save lives!"
He went on: "They're counting on you to be quiet. For our soldiers to come home, to sit down and to be quiet. Not to have the courage like so many soldiers to come home and tell the truth like Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyleor their sweet dear wives who pick up the torch and carry on."
