“When a people lose the courage to resist encroachment on their rights, then they can’t be saved by an outside force. Our belief is that people always have the kind of government they want and that individuals must bear the risks of freedom, even to the extent of giving their lives.”
“The right to buy weapons is the right to be free.”
― A.E. van Vogt, The Weapon Shops of Isher
“Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.”
– Luke 22:36
"The NRA will not save your ability to defend yourself, they are invested in the government just as much as the commies…"
So begins Bill Buppert's article called "The Government Hates Your Guns" ... and that is true NO MATTER which political party is in charge.
You can learn from history ... so learn!
"... Much like the frustration of the American central state in the first 150 years of failing to be capable of imposing a mandatory and trackable tax on income until 1913; the attempts [for gun control] remained feeble and uncoordinated until the Kennedys were killed in the 1960s; the magical combination of bureaucratic horsepower, accountancy standards, tracking of arms through a nation-wide database and the political will on the part of American collectivists (twice as many Republicans as Democrats would vote for the 1968 Gun Control Act, a horrific infringement on self-defense that would start the cascade of nonsense that would bloom like communist inspired kudzu across the fruited plain). This would be presaged by Ronald Reagan going full gun control with the backing of the NRA (of course) in 1967 with the Mulford Act. The uppity blacks who dared to actually carry weapons in public made the Republicans fill their pants in California at the time..."
Yup .. just like in the pre and post "Civil War" [War for Southern Independence] days, blacks were restricted from gun ownership .. Black Codes adopted after the Civil War required blacks to obtain a license before carrying or possessing firearms or Bowie knives.
As late as 1941 a Florida Supreme Court Justice said: ".. I know something of the history of this legislation. The original Act of 1893 was passed when there was a great influx of negro laborers in this State drawn here for the purpose of working in turpentine and lumber camps. The same condition existed when the Act was amended in 1901 and the Act was passed for the purpose of disarming the negro laborers and to thereby reduce the unlawful homicides that were prevalent in turpentine and saw-mill camps and to give the white citizens in sparsely settled areas a better feeling of security. The statute was never intended to be applied to the white population and in practice has never been so applied..."
Bottom line is .. when the government gets afraid or paranoid .. it WILL disarm all but their partners, LEOs, FBI, CIA, NSA, HSA and even SS offices which will retain their guns.
"...“This seems to me the right response to the amendment no matter which broad historical interpretation is correct. If, in fact, the amendment embodies only a collective right and the right to keep guns is indelibly linked to membership in the old militias—institutions that no longer exist—the amendment is already a dead letter. Repealing it would be then a simple matter of constitutional hygiene, the removal of a constitutional provision that has no function now nor could in the future but that, by its language, encourages the belief in an armed citizenry that I, for one, do not wish to see.” writes Benjamin Wittes in 2007 .. It appears that this notion of individual firearms ownership really gets under the skin of the academic scum .. the author, Wittes, further avers: “If, on the other hand, the amendment really does as Silberman, Tribe, Amar, and Levinson essentially claim–and I suspect they are all more right than wrong—then it embodies values in which I don’t believe.” ... This is the crux of the complaint from the women of both sexes and frightened males who need a fainting couch if someone talks about owning a weapon much less shows one to them. Next they’ll be making me pay for their adult incontinence diapers so their not fear-shamed in public for their unmanly natures.
They [gun grabbers] not only don’t believe in your right but feel their discomfort merits the wholesale confiscation of property that is not only private and expansive but secures a seldom seen quality; not only does it offer a brake to tyranny but it has been demonstrated planet-wide and throughout history to be a sure thing in effecting regime change. A confiscation that of contested will demand the liberal use of government guns to affect the forced removal of arms from Americans who refuse their betters in government’s request to surrender their arms..."
I still say, let the gun grabbers start enforcing no-gun zones in Chicago (oops, they already have ... multiple murders a day by guns that walk from IN gun shops into Chi-town), Detroit, New Orleans and Philadelphia as "beta-testing" and let the rest of us know what happens .. how safe these no-gun zones are to innocent people (single women and children) who live in these neighborhoods.
