A gun rights advocate in North Carolina gave a powerful speech before City Council members at a debate over whether a gun show should be canceled because of the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Robinson was not pleased with the current direction his town is heading and called out politicians for not representing the majority.

"When are you all gonna start standing up for the majority? … I'm the majority! I'm a law-abiding citizen who's never shot anybody. It seems every time we have one of these shootings, nobody wants to put the blame where it goes, which is at the shooter's feet. You want to put it at my feet! It doesn't make any sense," Robinson said. His powerful speech soon went viral and was applauded by many gun owners online.

Dana Loesch even praised Robinson's speech on Twitter saying, "THIS x 1000." Robinson described why he felt he needed to speak out and criticized the push to end the Second Amendment. "I see a concerted push to end the Second Amendment. It's simply not going to happen and the citizens of this country need to stand up and push back because if they can take away the Second Amendment, the First Amendment is obviously right behind it," he said.

Many of the points made by Robinson are true and are not being addressed by politicians such as how do they expect people to be able to defend themselves without their firearms when criminals will certainly now follow a gun ban. "After hearing some of the comments, I could not hold back. … I do not intend to sit idly by while politicians make rules and take away my rights as a law-abiding citizen," Robinson said.

Robinson said he feels passionate about defending his right to protect his family from evil people and his speech concluded with a standing ovation. It is important that we all speak up for our rights and not just the right to free speech, the right to bear arms is an inalienable right guaranteed in the constitution and it's our job as citizens to speak up for that right because others died for it.

Robinson is right!!! Guns do not walk onto schools by themselves, nor do guns go off by themselves!!!

The laws work that are in place if everyone is doing their job!! FBI had been notified of same student and did nothing!!!! Sherriff has first 4 deputies to stand down until swat got on scene?? Guns DO NOT KILL PEOPLE people kill people!!!! God Bless America
