Corrupt oligarchies adhere to the standards of civility only as long as they feel the need to maintain the illusion of the moral high ground. Once they have enough control, the mask always comes off, the rotten core is revealed, and immediate violence against dissent commences.
There is no left and right; only those who wish to be free, and those who wish to control. - ZeroHedge Guest Post
Most, perhaps all of the “Gun Control” proposals in this egregious violation of the 2nd and 10 amendments by the “constitutional lawyer” president who apparently has nothing but contempt for it (the Constitution) is aimed at information gathering, not safety.
- But the purpose of information gathering (which is my profession), is to direct the use of force.
- But the use of force is directed by an agenda.
- And this force utilizes the information gathered to direct its application.
- Since this information is being gather about the citizens in general, they are its target.
This kind of activity is illegal under the constitution. It is not specifically authorized so it is prohibited.
It cannot be subsumed under national security either. National security is about the security and safety of the people, not the government. The government, when at odds with the welfare of the people, must be resolved and another put in its place. At least, so says the Declaration of Independence.
Taking guns away from law abiding citizens will only cost more lives, not make us safer.
Unlike Adolf Hitler, politicians in this country are not wildly popular. They are fearful of the citizenry. Fear causes them to use caution and prevents them from acting without restraint. But just like they can’t restrain their spending habits, they can no longer restrain their desire to control. Only when they control the common man will they be able to milk them of all their resources so they can implement the Utopian schemes they have for themselves. At least that was the plan. But they will have destroyed the economy before they can implement it. Then they will have to go into hiding because the people will still have their guns and most of them have a dislike for criminals.
Well said.
