Democrats have been trying to disarm the populace for years. This writer won't say that all of their efforts are rooted in evil. In fact, this writer will say that half of Democrats have good intentions behind their cries to take away weapons. But, as has been said by some, the path to Hell is paved with good intentions.
This writer has touched on this subject in the past, but it bears repeating. An armed populace is a check against an overreaching government that won't check itself. Just ask the Jews in Nazi Germany, intelligent people in Pol Pot's Cambodia, and anyone who's ever lived in North Korea. When the government disarms the people, it starts killing people shortly afterward. This is because the people can't do anything but protest and throw sandals when the government inevitably overreaches.
This writer believes Joe Biden's America will turn out much the same way as previous and current dictatorships. They'll be chasing people down, forcing them to take vaccines and wear masks when they don't want to. They'll be running into your house, taking your children because you don't want them subjected to CRT, gender confusion and sexuality, and other useless crap that won't help them grow into productive citizens. Make no mistake, if Americans disarm, it won't take long for the bodies to start piling up.
Beyond that, gun legislation hurts law-abiding citizens, not criminals. This is because criminals don't obey the law. That's what makes them criminals. They don't care about the law. The criminals will continue to have guns and the citizens, under the false promise of government protection, will be easy fodder. People will be getting robbed, Antifa will be whuppin' ass, and BLM will be burning down stuff and nobody will be able to stop them. The police, as necessary and well-meaning as they might be, won't always be on time. In the words of a gun advocate, "When seconds count, help is just minutes away."
Some say that an armed society is a polite society. Take Dylan Roof, for example. Do you think he would have walked into that church and killed nine people if he walked in and saw a bunch of people with shotguns, glocks, and ARs sitting there? No. He would have said, "Maybe I'll find another church to shoot up," then turned around and got the hell out of there. And if he was stupid enough to start shooting, maybe he would have got one or two people, but he would have gotten lit up. He certainly wouldn't have been able to enjoy Burger King afterwards.
As this writer has said before, guns are the ultimate equalizer. Any size advantage your aggressor has is negated unless he has bulletproof skin. There's not a football player big enough or any MMA fighter tough enough to overcome a couple of well-placed rounds. Even the most badass wild animals will drop in just one shot if you shoot them right. Wolves, bears, tigers, elephants, none of them are a match for a boomstick.
And why are we pretending that guns are the only things that kill people. People were being killed by a variety of things long before guns existed. People were being killed with swords, axes, crossbows, guillotines, and other weapons and devices so numerous there are literally countless books filled them. For Heaven's sake, David killed Goliath with a sling and a rock.
Mundane, everyday items can be used to kill someone. You could stab someone with a pencil or scissors. You can slit someone's throat or wrist with a boxcutter. You could bludgeon someone with a bat, hammer, or surge protector. You could knock someone down, then drop a refrigerator or microwave on their head. You could run someone over with a car. You could put rat poison in someone's food. You could drop a lamp into a bathtub while someone is bathing. In New York, there seems to be an epidemic of people getting pushed in front of subway trains and run over. Notice how none of these items are guns. These are just regular things that are used on a daily basis by all of us. Yet, there's no outcry by Steve Kerr about these things for some strange reason.
Heck, you can even kill someone without even using a weapon. How many people how been beaten or choked to death with bare hands? How many people have been stomped to death? How many people were shoved down some stairs or into a pool and died? How many people have had their heads forced into a full sink or bathtub and held there until they stopped moving? How many people got hit, fell down, and hit their head on a street curb or a table? Hello? You got any legislation in the pipeline on these things, Joe Biden?
There are a few solutions to this problem that Joe Biden could implement if he was serious. First, he would stop pushing a message of division, hatred, anger, and the destruction of the nuclear family. He would stop using God's name to push an agenda of stupidity, racism, and confusion. He would instead be pushing a message of love and family bonds, the way God's message is supposed to be used.
The second thing he could do is help doctors, governors, and mayors counter the explosion of mental illness that's been going around. There are people who are insane, some criminally so, who are crying out for help with their problems. Some of these people WANT to be in jail or in a padded cell because they just can't stop themselves from doing bad things. Instead of emptying the jails and turning his back on these people, he could open more looney bins and institute programs to aid them as long as they need it. After all, if he can send tens of billions of dollars to money pits like Ukraine and Guatemala, he could easily break off a few billion to help AMERICANS, right? What? The U.S. president should help American citizens before people of other nations? Preposterous, right?
The third thing he could do is embrace the 2nd Amendment instead of trying to abolish it. The 2nd Amendment exists because you may not be able to and should not always be relying on the government for protection. The 2nd Amendment has served us well in this country. You could say it's the heartbeat of America. It's the primary reason why other nations don't just attack the American mainland. To make it simple, no 2nd Amendment equals no United States. Stop trying to legislate it out of existence. To that extent, legislate open carry. Going back to the Dylan Roof example, how many people are going to start shooting when they can look around and potentially see dozens if not hundreds of people who could take them out? #opencarry.
The fourth and final thing he could do is promote responsible gun ownership instead of "common sense" gun laws. You'll notice a lot of these shootings happen in areas with super strict gun laws. Guess what that means. Those gun laws don't won't and they'll continue to fail. Chicago, the city that possibly has the strictest gun laws of them all, should be proof of that. But failure is what Biden does best, so he'll keep pushing crap that doesn't work.
In short, people who want to kill are going to kill. No law is going to stop it. No amount of weapon confiscations will stop violence and murder. The only thing these laws will do is render the American people defenseless against who or whatever want to fuck them up. As someone who preaches an anti-victimhood message, that goes against everything this writer stands for. Whether it's a lone gunman, a street gang, an invading country, an overreaching domestic government, or a 200-pound chimp breaking out of the zoo and going on a rampage, guns are the most effective and efficient way to deal with them all. The 2nd Amendment is what it is for a reason. And yes, Mr. Biden, it IS absolute. At least it is in the country this writer lives in.
Until next time...
