COME AND TAKE IT Video

.

Steve Vaus is a musician, writer, producer and
Grammy award winner who has worked with musical legends that include Willie
Nelson, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Kenny Loggins.

In January, responding to the latest assaults
on our Second Amendment, Vaus composed and produced “Come and Take It,” a
ballad that takes aim at those who would strip Americans of their right to
bear arms.

“We want the freedom that God gave us,” the
lyrics declare, “so you best not cross that line. If you want this gun you
gotta to come through us and take it, one shot at a time.”

The slogan, “Come and take it,” became the
battle cry and banner of the Texas Revolution after the 1835 Battle of
Gonzalez, in which Texans defied the Mexican government’s demand to return a
cannon that had been given them for self-defense. Rather than surrender the
cannon to Mexican dragoons, Texans stormed the Mexican camp and drove the
soldiers away. (WND)

When Vaus contacted various local and national
media outlets in an attempt to air his song as a way to counter the Hollywood
and Washington media blitz targeting gun owners, he was denied.

We reached out to Mr. Vaus about his
experience and he confirmed the reports.

“Clear Channel refused to allow me to buy time
on all of their DC area stations,” said a frustrated but undeterred Vaus.

“On the TV side, the video version has been
refused by the two major cable TV carriers in DC – Comcast and ViaMedia.
Finally I have attempted to buy time on MSNBC nationally and they have been
unresponsive.”

The very same media that deny Mr. Vaus a voice
about a key piece of American history that’s relevant to a heated national
conversation have no qualms about playing commercials depicting adults having
an intense ‘make-out session’ during prime time sporting events while
families and their children watch on with discomfort and disgust. Likewise,
the media will happily play commercials that involve Hollywood celebrities
and DC politicians who are calling for what essentially amounts to nothing
short of supplanting the 2nd Amendment.

Vaus also points out that, while his requests
for paid airtime have been denied, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords purchased and
was allotted TV time for her anti-gun spot that bookended the President’s
State of the Union address, and progressive propaganda machine MoveOn.org has
been given widespread national airtime for their latest gun control campaign
titled The NRA doesn’t Speak for Me.

Given the brick walls facing Mr. Vaus at every
turn, it should be clear that the media is complicit in silencing the voices
of millions of Americans who support gun ownership. In his State of the Union
address President Obama suggested that there is overwhelming support for gun
control in this country. So, too, is there overwhelming support for gun
rights, something you wouldn’t know if your only avenue for news and
entertainment was your local cable TV provider or radio station.

As evidenced by Mr. Vaus’ experience, any
voice contradicting the official narrative is silenced.

The President and D.C. politicians can fly
around in their tax payer funded jets to attend political functions
advocating gun control on our dime, yet Steve Vaus can’t buy time, with his
own money, for a pro-Second Amendment spot supporting one of America’s most
fundamental Constitutional protections.

“It’s Unthinkable,” says Vaus.
