All revolutions come from the middle class, and then only when something has been taken away from them. The poor do not have the organizational skills necessary to foment successful revolution. The wealthy have no reason to revolt. In short: People never start a revolution to get something —— they always revolt to get something back.
Does anybody doubt that elected parasites are employing COVID-19 scare tactics to take every constitutional Right away from private sector Americans? —— not to mention abolish the original Bill of Rights along the way.
Courtney Kirchoff goes to the heart of the matter:
Show of hands: who has suddenly understood preppers? Uh huh. Who has suddenly understood the need to be "off the grid"? Okay. Who has suddenly understood so-called "gun nuts" who say the Second Amendment is to fight government tyranny? Ah. If you think government hasn't been tyrannical, may I show you a couple of stories: Wisconsin police berate a mother and Dallas police issue a restraining order on a salon owner. Okay, bearing those stories in mind, here are people in Michigan protesting stay-at-home orders while carrying their (most-likely) legal firearms.
This is from an obvious anti-gun group. I don't care, because a larger point needs to be made here. If it's fear and intimidation for the PEOPLE to show up and protest while armed, what is it called when police offers show up to issue restraining orders or admonitions for paddle-boarding on the ocean, while armed? Think about it, don't get back to me.
Run through government's actions the last six weeks. Ignore COVID-19 for a second and look at the big picture. It's a mental exercise that matters, work with me here.
Are you telling me the government hasn't overstepped its bounds? Are you telling me putting people under house arrest for no good reason (the models are wrong y'all) and extending stay at home orders in some states despite COVID-19 being a dud, isn't the perfect example of the exact government tyranny Second Amendment advocates have warned about?
People in Michigan protesting while armed isn't a problem. What is a problem is police ignoring, if not stomping, all over the Constitution while taking orders from a government that is pissing all over the same Constitution.
The people should have more power than the government. That shouldn't be a controversial statement.
This question should be asked:
How many government guns will kill Americans in the event of an all-out revolution?
Waco and Ruby Ridge provide a preliminary answer.
Let me elaborate for readers interested in the topic.
My observation begins with the government’s incremental philosophical march toward background checks; i.e., tyranny and the Second Amendment be damned —— law-abiding gun-owners must be disarmed in order to prevent criminals from getting guns.
Supposedly there are approximately three hundred million guns in the hands of private sector Americans.
The number of armed Americans willing to protect their Rights with a gun goes down dramatically because confiscation makes it possible with UNCONSTITUTIONAL BACKGROUND CHECKS.
Frankly, I would not be surprised if the number of government guns will be equal to private sector guns after a nationwide confiscation drive is carried out. Basically, picking up guns in their known locations is as easy as falling off a log because the police and the military will do it to one household at a time rather than attempt to confiscate guns from an organized resistance.
NOTE: Lest I be accused of fomenting violent revolution let me point out that a well-organized revolt is the only thing that will make the scum in government back down before the shooting starts.
My next observation is more practical than it is philosophical:
The government is after those guns they do not know about. Identifying the location of every gun is essential before confiscation begins. The government already knows the names and addresses of a substantial number of law-abiding gun-owners; so background checks for ammo is inevitable:
NOTE: The total number of different calibers of ammunition must be much more than a trillion when you assign two dozen shells to every gun-owner —— 24 is not much when the shooting starts. That is why state governments are beginning to legislate against ammunition along with gun ownership.
Incidentally, how many movies and TV shows have you seen where a fictional character says his gun is registered, or a cop nails him for having an unregistered gun. The last time I did a background check on the Second Amendment it did not say:
. . . the right of the people to keep and bear REGISTERED Arms shall not be infringed.
Background checks has always been a backdoor approach to registration; so it comes as no surprise that Democrats want more BCs.
As I said many times, the government fears the location of the guns they do not know about. Confiscating guns is a little difficult when the government does not know where the guns live. In truth, media mouths have just as much to fear from law-abiding unknown gun-owners than does the government. Government stooges in the media must know that if Democrat gun-grabbers bring this country to violent revolution media mouths will be the first ones to get shot.
Never forget that if you own a gun and your name is on a list of any kind the government has that list. As much as I respect the NRA, there is no doubt in my mind the government has the names of everybody on the NRA’s membership roll.
A substantial number of Americans see no harm in background checks or a national registry. The problem is in convincing EVERY private sector American that they will lose a constitutional Right along with gun- owners. Bottom line: Americans who are being conned by Democrats are begging to die victims right alongside those gun-owners the federal government will disarm.
The sole purpose of background checks is to set up a data bank so the federal government knows the location of every gun. So how come not one media mouth ever suggested that the government must delete all records of every person after they clear a background check? (I am probably being naive. There is no way in hell the government will delete an essential component of confiscation.)
When you get right down to it, why should Americans believe anything government officials say about background checks when they lie all of the time?
You can believe the one thing government liars say. The police and the military will obey when they are ordered to confiscate all of the guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans?
Finally, federal control of the military, and local law enforcement, combined with confiscating millions of “background check” guns has long been a major objective for Democrats. Every shooting followed by more wall-to-wall media coverage might be enough to give Hakeem Jeffries, Mitt Romney and their kind the groundswell they need to legislate the Second Amendment to death without asking the pubic’s permission to abolish the Second Amendment.
No law is supposed to override the Constitution, yet every one of the more than 40,000 gun control laws on the books supersedes the Second Amendment.
p.s. If you could make one of two organizations disappear forever which one would you choose?
1. National Rifle Association.
2. American Civil Liberties Union.
Before you decide consider which organization is dedicated to the Second Amendment’s priorities. HINT: It ain’t the ACLU.
