Zero Gov – by Steve KorenekThe International Micro-Managers of the world (whoever they are) know one thing and know it well. Gun Control is people control; and social engineering of diabolical proportions. The Rothschild money master once mused that the early British Empire on which the sun never set was indeed controlled by him through his cunning tactics of monetary manipulation.
Why change a tactic if it works everytime? Either do all of your planning in secret (Jekyll Island comes to mind) or if it must be done in the eye of the public, make certain to weave a large web of confusion and disarray under the guise of ordered thought.
Through public means, you will exploit the tragedies committed by ‘lone gunmen’, as witnessed at Sandy Hook, Aurora Colorado, Fort Hood, Columbine and the like. You will demonize private, voluntary Militias through the ‘April 19ths’ of the world. (Branch Davidians Waco, Oklahoma City Bombing) The actual Waco Siege ended on April 19th. No one dare call it Conspiracy.
Implement a War on Terror and the machine is in motion. Warrantless searches are the norm now in a land once run under the soft guise of the Constitution.
But… American guns still stand in the way of the central planners’ complete domination and subsequent gelding. Notice that these clueless, gunless hippies love civil liberties, but the hate the very thing which repels those that threaten civil liberties most effectively? The modern, personal semi-auto weapon system. (With a mountain of ammo to boot!)
Most nations around the world ‘enjoy’ living in numb societies where guns and ownership of such is either controlled or outlawed altogether. Anything close to what we experience here in America exists in Switzerland, Poland, Finland and Serbia. Outside of Europe is Yemen.
Gun ownership is under attack full-force here in the States. I mean, how does one compete against the 24 hour a day barrage of misinformation coupled with tragedies and gobbled up by loud-mouthed people on pharmaceutical drugs in a mind-numbed state?
My father in law said that a ‘lie’ gets halfway around the world while the ‘truth’ is still getting his boots on.
A controlled man is an enslaved man and we should always be at least mildly suspicious to not buy into every story, especially when they involve sweeping measures which threaten the Liberty of every individual Iiving in the USSA.
But…. the battle’s not over yet. We need a few loud-mouthed people to mobilize and refute these untruths in guerrilla warfare fashion. And before you decline my request, don’t think that NRA, GOA and JPFO are going to do it for you. The NRA is usually dumb-founded and at a loss as to what to say in a televised debate. Two ideal poster children are Ted Nugent and Larry Pratt, but who else? Do we honestly think that TWO men are going to change the minds of people? Our beloved gun rights’ groups are like cops. When you need them, they are never there and probably at the donut shop.
We are in intellectual warfare and this requires tremendous mental stamina to compete with the numerous talking heads of life. Let’s investigate the lies purported by the collectivists. While there are several, let’s just focus on the biggies.
Lie number 1 : The Constitution says the 2nd Amendment protects the Militia. Truth : ….the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The ‘people’ is not the ‘militia’. While I personally would argue gun ownership on moral grounds, I am not against arguing a the RKBA as delineated by this fine, yet flawed, document.
Lie number 2 : The average citizen does not need a high capacity semi-automatic rifle. Truth : Yes we do because it serves as an invisible fence to foreign and domestic enemies. It is nigh impossible to turn America in to a total police state with this ever present threat in the hands of the individual. Law enforcement does not get a blank check to run amuck and kick doors in at random in Nazi-esque / Soviet fashion. Another is hit probability, multiple attackers (L.A. Riots, Hurricane Katrina) and ballistic unpredictability. Do these know-nothings understand that in condition black, suspects do not feel the rounds hit and therefore, keep attacking?
Lie number 3 : Gun control keeps guns out of the hands of criminals and saves childrens’ lives. Truth : All real life evidence points to the extreme opposite. Since criminals do not obey mala in se laws, what makes people think that they will obey mala prohibita ones? These are referred to as Disarmed Victim Zones. A gun-free zone is a Disarmed Victim Zone. The cities that have the most strict gun laws have the highest violent crime and murder rates. Washington D.C. and Chicago, Illinois. Almost forgot Newark, New Jersey. Chances of being a victim in Newark? 1 in 84! Guns don’t kill people…
People on SSRIs and Hollywood with guns kill people.
I like this article but I have to disagree with the author when he talks about the 2nd Amendment.
” A well regulated militia, being neccesary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
That one sentence tells me that the People are the Militia and that the People are responsible for securing the freedom of the state. Which is why Yamamoto would not invade the U.S. mainland after the bombing of Pearl Harbor because “there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
“Lie number 1 : The Constitution says the 2nd Amendment protects the Militia. Truth : ….the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The ‘people’ is not the ‘militia’. While I personally would argue gun ownership on moral grounds, I am not against arguing a the RKBA as delineated by this fine, yet flawed, document.”
Henry, the wording of this statement is somewhat ambiguous at best. Can you clarify what the author is trying to say? If I’m reading it correctly, I would have to disagree.
I concur: The Founders to a man, understood the militia to be the individual citizens when assembled as such.
To wit:
“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American… The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.”
—Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
“Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.”
—Richard Henry Lee, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
“I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers.”
—George Mason, Virginia Delegation, Constitution Ratification Convention, 1788
Thanks for the excellent quotes, Diogenes.
The people are the militia. When sitting in their homes or going about their business, they are the unorganized militia. When they come out the door and unite to destroy the common foe, they are the organized militia.
However, the right to own and bear arms is not conditional to being militia. It is a human right to self defense in any and every situation.
@Henryshivley,
You hit the nail on the head. Contrary to what guys like Edwin Rivera propose, the militia is an outgrowth of the right to self defense. Rivera proposes that the militia is the reason for the second amendment; that without the militia there is no individual right. Hogwash! He may argue I read him wrong but if that is the case, why even bring the militia to the table? The wording of the 2nd amendment is an instruction to Congress, a prohibition placed upon government, it is not the right itself. Again, the militia is an outgrowth of an individual right. It can not and does not exist without the individual right to self defense.
That’s how I read it, Henry. He’s dead wrong then.
