Never mind that right now, after the worst and most obvious attack on Americans since 9/11 we are not only NOT FOCUSED ON THOSE INIMICAL TO US, OUR MURDERERS, we are instead yelling at each other over GUN CONTROL?
“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials.”
— George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788
Why?
I have the following observations.
There are 2 kinds of folks who want gun control.
1) Murica is a bad actor with violent gun culture, and Muricans need to have guns removed from the equation. After all, look at the progress other nations have made
2) Our regulations must remove guns from those who should never have the ability to have them
“The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.”
– Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188
If you are the first kind, there’s nothing to say, you don’t respect the Constitution or what it has accomplished and you think ‘shall not be infringed’ is without meaning today. So Amend the Constitution. Go for it. Just be aware what’s sauce for the goose….
“[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation…(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”
–James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46
If you are the second type you think the RIGHT legislation will reduce gun violence. Worth looking at WITHIN the Constitution, but NOT TODAY. Why is this true?
Because the most restrictive gun law state in the nation had it’s laws made irrelevant by a friend of a mass murderer for religious reasons, and by loyalty to a caliphate, handing his legally obtained guns over to an ISIS terrorist hit squad.
Yet B Obama, many democrats, the covers of NY papers not only will not relent but seek to USE a foreign (in every way) enemy, not of AMERICA, but of AMERICANS, killing us as a further justification to ensure they enforce their own religion on us.
“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.”
– Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356
Objective studies of so called mass shooting show the USA is BY PER CAPITA RATE of such crimes in the middle place of many nations. But we have 330 million people. Still, this is not acceptable.
We can’t diagnose nuts, and we can’t stop the black market.
We can’t even DEFINE an assault weapon to ban (in fact where I live the AR-15 is lauded as a hunting weapon for ease of use, accuracy and parts availability). In California, a 10 round magazine is the limit for this SEMI AUTOMATIC weapon.
“No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
– Thomas Jefferson, Proposal Virginia Constitution, 1 T. Jefferson Papers, 334,[C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950]
These killers had pistols though and thousands of pistol rounds. 9mm pistols. In a closed conference room with 75-80 people, and a couple of Glocks (which can hold up to 22 rounds at one time) is this less deadly than semi automatic rifles?
Let’s take the rifles away. Who is going to charge the couple when one person is firing while the other is reloading during the 3-4 seconds it takes to slap in another magazine?
“ … but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people, while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights …”
– Alexander Hamilton speaking of standing armies in Federalist 29
But this is not a ‘mass shooting’ and the attempt to USE it to further the domestic ideology of the left is DISGUSTING.
On the day we can effectively diagnose those among us with the kinds of disease that makes it plain, OBJECTIVELY, they can NEVER have a weapon, let’s make sure that happens.
LET’S SPEND THE RESOURCES to make that happen. Let’s DO THE R&D, and then craft the legislation. Let’s do that NOW.
NOW.
“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms … The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard, against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible.”
– Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator, Vice President, 22 October 1959
But for God’s sake, let’s do the work TOGETHER necessary to KILL the Salafi and Shia freaks who think that because we make up laws out of our own heads, without reference to the ‘authority’ of the Quran, we must be ENDED. Make no mistake, what gets to these radicals is that WE, THE PEOPLE, are sovereign. It is the heart and soul of America. We decide what we are going to do. We make the protection of individual freedoms SACROSANCT. Not THEIR idea of the ultimate authority of a perfect being and his uncreated immutable document.
The next time, maybe even before Christmas, some of these attackers are going to stroll into the Mall of America, the King of Prussia Mall, the Galleria, or the Toyota plant, or Google offices and perhaps let loose with MORE than guns.
This is a threat to our entire way of life, and the president wants to make this war a part of mass shootings/gun control, ENDANGERING US FURTHER.
Tonight the president is going to address the nation.
He will talk about gun control.
And divide us further.
He will echo his Attorney General and warn us about our bad behavior towards Muslims here (bad ‘behavior’ towards Jews, BTW, REMAINS, according to the FBI 4-5 times as bad)
He will tell us this is not Islam.
He will NOT identify those who want to kill us, and tell us why they do.
He and the democrats will do this because they cannot imagine the ACTUAL WORLD outside their ideology and it’s dialectic, operates in a different manner.
If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
We have our faults, and so do all humans.
But we bring them out in the open, hash it out and move on.
B Obama must name the enemy this time and inaugurate it’s total complete destruction until Muslims look at these freaks the way all of us do David Duke

The Dialectic Divides Us to Doom-Terrorism is not a Mass Shooting

This nation DESTROYED the KKK (a well armed KKK). This nation killed Communism, Slavery, Fascism and will always, no matter how it looks or sounds, hate and make war on racism.We have our faults, and so do all humans.
