Guns are pure evil and no civilized person should ever be in
the vicinity of them.
Therefore, effective immediately, I will be rescinding my
memberships to such organizations as the NRA, ISRA and other like-minded
groups. All the money I have paid in
membership dues will now go to the UN, ACLU, and other groups who promote
diversity and peace. I will also be turning in my weapons at the next law
enforcement sponsored gun surrender program. Don’t ask me to buy them, because I
could not bear to have you embrace these disgusting weapons of war.
I have also decided to change party affiliations, since my
prior party is nothing but grotesque war mongers. Poverty, inequality, and
social justice can only be achieved through the collective good and government
is the strongest vehicle to achieve this. Because of this I am now going to sue
the City of New York and the NYPD for forcing me to be a part of their brutal
regime and crackdown of minor crimes designed to incarcerate the poor and less
fortunate. I will be asking for $25
million dollars for emotional harm and will be using the proceeds to establish
‘safe zones’ where people can go to protect themselves from hurtful words. Any
money that remains will be used to buy ‘
no gun zone’ placards to be affixed to
doors.
Sadly, this whole enlightenment thing has also caused me to
rethink my religious beliefs. I have therefore decided to embrace my humanism.
For too long I have undervalued myself and my contributions to society.
I have also decided to unleash myself from the destructive
gender assignment that was forced upon me, without my consent, by an
oppressive, dictatorial society which seeks to buttonhole me into their world
view. I am now F_(`296Mx~%, a sentient, asexual being that refuses to conform
to so called societal norms. I also am a being of the world, and as such
believe that fascist laws, which are forced upon us, have no hold over me.
Bless Myself,……… this is so liberating that I am teetering
on the edge of a narcissistic euphoria!!
For any of you who already feel this way, I have only one
thing to say: Get off social media and grow the fuck up.
For those of you who know me better, and are laughing your asses off right now,
I salute you.
To be honest with you, I’m tired. I’m tired of the whining,
the bullshit, and the sight of allegedly adult human beings demanding a ‘safe
zone’ so that their feelings don’t get hurt. What the hell has happened to this
country? Everything, and I mean everything, is someone (or something) else’s
fault.

Are you starting to see the rampant hypocrisy here?
One of the things which makes me laugh the hardest is when
the left points to the ‘war on drugs’ and the fact that it did very little to
curb drug crimes. Oh, okay, and I guess you have solved that little problem and
believe that the ‘war on guns’ will do better?
Anytime someone is killed it is a tragedy, but to claim that
removing all guns will cure the problem is pure and simple Utopian bullshit. I’m not
saying there are not issues in this country, but the sad fact is that they are
generational in their origination.
When I grew up, we were taught to respect the police and
teachers. In fact, being disrespectful carried an exacting punishment, where
you had your ass whooped by them and again when you got home. Now, society
blames the police for every encounter; ignoring the fact that the alleged
‘victim’ was engaged in criminal behavior. We've taught our children to have contempt and disrespect for everyone in authority.
Here is a newsflash: If you assault, and attempt to disarm,
a police officer you are NOT a victim of anything. You are a criminal.
Likewise, if you commit a crime with a gun, YOU, not the gun, are the criminal.
Recently I had a discussion with a gentleman that cited
Japan as the model for what a ‘no gun society’ can look like. Because of their
restrictive laws, they have almost no gun murders. Now you would think that
there would be zero, but the truth is that you can never get rid of all the
guns.
What this individual failed to realize is that, unlike the
United States, Japan has a very different societal make-up. If it were simply a
matter of comparing the low gun crime rate in Japan to the high gun crime rate
in the US, one would be led to believe that guns were the problem. However, if
you compare non-gun related crime, you come up with a similar story. So, if it
is not the tool that is the issue, what is it?
Japan has a much different society then we do and there is a
much closer relationship with law enforcement authorities. While the clearance
rate for homicide is generally in the same ballpark (90% + for Japan and 70%+
for the US), the real difference is seen in the clearance rate for robbery.
Japan clears around 80%+ of their robberies, while the US only clears around
20%. So why are those numbers so stark?
Again we go back to the culture. The conformist society of
Japan does a lot to keep people out of crime in the first place. Family honor,
and respect toward authority, are attributes that are instilled at a very early
age.
Another factor is the criminal justice system in Japan.
Unlike the United States, which does a lot to protect
individual rights, Japan has no such encumbrances. Japanese policeman can, and
do, stop ‘suspicious’ people and make them show what they are carrying. In effect, the
police can search basically anyone, at any time, and rarely will any evidence
discovered be deemed inadmissible.
The Japanese criminal justice system puts more emphasis on
the suspect than almost any other industrial / democratic country. While
the United States enjoys Miranda warnings, Japan has no such barrier. Bail is
routinely denied if it will interfere with interrogations and suspects can be
held for 3 days, and 10 day extensions added if needed, for the purpose of
obtaining a confession. In reality, a suspect can be held almost indefinitely
until they confess and most defense attorneys are reluctant to protest for fear
of offending the prosecutor. This results in a 90%+ confession rate. After the
confession is obtained it gets even better. For those who go to trial, there is no jury and the
conviction / incarceration rate for violent crime is nearly 100%.
Contrast this with the United States, where for decades we
have seen an almost revolving door justice system. I can personal attest to
numerous times where defendants were released on their own recognizance and I
still had not finished the paperwork process. For decades you slapped the wrist's of offenders and now you are shocked when they, and now their children, have no respect for the law.
I wonder how many of the ‘enlightened’ folks walking around
the halls of academia would be willing to give up their civil rights in order to
obtain the low gun homicide rates of Japan? Judging from the ‘social’ protests
I see on TV, not many.
Another case of selective cherry-picking.
One other fact which the left chooses to ignore is that Japan still engages in blatant racism toward non-Japanese, something that would make their collective heads explode here.
Another problem for the gun grabbing crowd is that pesky
little country called Switzerland.
Switzerland has an estimated population of about 8 million
people and an estimated 2-4 million guns. Now, if guns were truly the issue,
you would think that the Swiss would have a problem. Yet they have less than
half of 1% (per 100k) of gun homicides. Like Japan, the Swiss have a societal structure of personal responsibility and respect, something greatly lacking in today's urban American environment.
The fact is that the first prohibitive gun laws were
designed not to protect, but to disarm. Native Americans, free blacks and
Chinese were all victims of this.
Consider for a moment that this month marks the 125th
Anniversary of the
Wounded Knee Massacre. On December 29th, agents of the
government, along with the U.S. 7th Calvary, were sent to Wounded Knee, in South
Dakota, to
disarm the Sioux Indian’s for their own protection. It was the first
federally backed gun confiscation program in U.S. History. After the majority of
the Sioux were disarmed, the Calvary began shooting and managed to wipe out
the entire camp. Of the 297 victims, 200 were women and children.
We must wake up and accept the fact that evil does exist in
our world. It always has and always will. Immediately after the terrorist attack in San Bernardino,
California, which left 14 dead and 21 wounded, the president, rather than
condemn the terrorists, used the incident as a springboard to call for
increased gun control. Maybe someone can correct me, but it really doesn't seem as if he has a grasp on this whole
ISIS / Radical Islamic Terror thing. In this most recent attack, it's obvious that someone must have forgotten to tell him that all the gun control
measures that he is calling for were already in place in California and had no
impact on the attack. For whatever reason he, and those calling for stricter
gun laws, cannot comprehend the fact that those intent on
committing acts of terror, or criminal acts period, are not inclined to obey the law.
We cannot overlook the fact that throughout world history evil
people have committed evil acts. Time and again we are shown examples of
governments removing weapons from their citizens, for their own good, only to
find that it was actually the government that was the real danger to them. You
see, the truth is, that tyrannical governments are not anti-gun; in fact they
enjoy them very much, as long as they are the only ones who have them.
- In 1911 Turkey disarmed its citizens. Between 1915 – 1917
they murdered over one million Armenians.
- In 1929 Russia disarmed its citizens. Between 1929 – 1953
they murdered approximately 20 million anti-communists.
- In 1935 China disarmed its citizens. Between 1948 – 1952
they murdered approximately 20 million anti-communists
/ reformers.
- In 1938 Germany disarmed its citizens. Between 1939 – 1945
they murdered approximately 16 million Jews, Gypsies and anti-Nazis.
- In 1956 Cambodia disarmed its citizens. Between 1975 – 1977
they murdered 1 million ‘educated’ people.
- In 1964 Guatemala disarmed its citizens. Between 1964 – 1981
they murdered 100,000 Mayan Indians.
- In 1970 Uganda disarmed its citizens. Between 1971 – 1979
they murdered 300,000 Christians / political rivals.
In the infinite wisdom of the founding fathers, the 2nd
Amendment was put in place to protect the citizens from a tyrannical
government. The right to own guns, to protect your personal freedom, was
never written to protect the right to go deer or bear hunting, nor was it designed
to protect weapons used for this purpose, but the very weapons that are now
being vilified.
Take a look at the Second Amendment: "A well regulated
Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the
people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Many people argue that since we have a military (militia)
that we no longer need the 2nd Amendment. However, the exact
opposite is true about the reason for the 2nd Amendment. Understanding that a state needs a military, and
understanding that the military of the state (England) was used against colonials, the
founding fathers created the amendment to protect the individual rights of the citizenry
to maintain their weapons, thereby ensuring that the government would never be able to
do to them what the King of England had done.
Don’t believe me? Read their own quotes:
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect
everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but
downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined. The great
object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun.”
– Patrick Henry
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be
disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in
America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole of the
people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular
troops.” Noah Webster
“Arms in the hands of the citizens may be used at individual
discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny or private
self-defense.” John Adams
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to
keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny
in government.” Thomas Jefferson
Not once did I read anything about hunting or target
shooting.
As much as we believe that we can legislate morality, we
simply cannot. We also cannot rid the world of evil through the use of safe
zones. Good people will tend to abide by the law while the criminal element
will always find a way around it.
In the Bible, one of the first stories is that of Cain, who
killed his brother Abel over jealousy. Evil does not exist within any tool, but
rather resides in the heart of the wielder.

See this for what it is folks, a
political publicity stunt, and I am begging you not to fall for it. The fact is
that they could not care less about you. It's like Charlie Rangel saying to a
reporter how he (and his fellow lawmakers) deserves protection, but apparently you
and your family; not so much. Have you ever stopped to wonder why places like
the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and Federal Court House’s, are all gun-free
zones, yet they surround them with armed protection, but our schools, which
hold our most precious assets, are labeled as gun
free zones and give no protection? How does that make any sense?
