I felt this belonged in L&P since guns are very much so a controversy, legally and politically. That, and I do address the people's ability to control a government.
I am not as smart as I wish I could be, but I am pretty sure that I have a good bead on things when it comes to reviewing the stupidity of humans. I am familiar (friendly and communicative) with many people from more than two dozen cultures. I like to keep my horizons broad. The world is bigger than the USA.
I have come to one conclusion that I feel is irrefutable.
The gun is the only tool that man has made that has been demonized around the globe by virtually every culture. Never have so many hated one kind of object for such a long time.
There have no calls for world wide bans of motor vehicles, man made bodies of H2O, plows, sharpened pencils, cooking and eating utensils, bath tubs, glass bottles, clubs, ropes, swords, detergents....
I think you get the point...at least I hope you do.
Before the gun men were savages. The weak had no choice but to bow to the mighty or die.
The gun made all men and women equal.
How can this wonderful gift to humanity be so downtrodden and despised when the downtrodden and despised are put on equal footing when they are armed? Yet, many of these kinds of people will be the first to tell you that the worlds biggest problems is guns because they were never allowed to have them, thus negating the control the armed might would wield over them. A nasty cycle of oppression and enslavement played out again and again after the commoner is disarmed.
I guess we should all go back to being spear chuckers, rock throwers, and club wielders. Yeah...those options are so much better.
Irrefutable point number two...most people are just plain stupid and don't know it. Worst part is that they think they are smart and have the answers. If only we would do what they say, then we would have utopia. Never gonna happen.
Flame me all you want for that comment. I have finally decided that I no longer care if opinions are PC.
I want a gun in every hand and every man to hold his government accountable.
It is said that there are levels of governmental control. The ballot box, the jury box and the bullet box.
The bullet box is supposed to be the last resort, yet many have forgotten that the bullet is the only real empowerment for the the first two options.
Lastly, those who wish to take or guns (and equality) away will also find themselves enslaved at some point. A mightier person will always come along and dethrone those who thought they had all the power. Most people who wield power have forgotten the bigger fish rule.
There is always a bigger fish. If it finds you, it will eat you.
