McDonald, gun ownership, and the non-violent restoration of safer streets

Since McDonald v. Chicago, wherein the Supreme Court incorporated the second amendment for all fifty states, you might expect to see some affirmation also within the electorate of the United States. Even though private gun ownership has swelled recently from around 80 million to more like 90 million, I would expect to see an even greater increase in acquiring firearms. This would be an expression of confidence in self and less in government.

Gun control in America has failed like liberalism in general has failed. The affinity for the criminal from the so-called ‘conscience of the people’ has proven to be a boondoggle for a transfer of wealth and a further centralization of power. This is how gun control affects us all. It undermines a safeguard of the country purely to increase centralization.

One reason gun control has failed tragically is because the claim of easy access to guns is untrue

One reason gun control has failed tragically is because the claim of easy access to guns is untrue: emotionally, it is provocative, but it is untrue. Instead, crime is due to the liberal agenda of permissiveness of violence in being soft on crime for this eventual purpose such that what is easy is the thug’s easy access to society time and again. But what if we see more guns in society? Don’t more guns bring more violence? Says who: Liberals? Leftists who like crisis? Liberals who were soft on crime and promoted recidivism and repeat offenders? Says who?? More armed citizens means more of a deterrence effect. If you increase the odds that a thug will encounter someone willing to bring lethal force to resist them, you can look forward to a reduction in violent crime. This deterrence effect will arise from a realization of what gun control was trying to do all along: break the spirit of resistance, for one thing. And once the thugs get the message of more who refuse to be a victim, violence will fade.

Crime meeting a resurgence of the spirit of refusing to be a victim

With crime meeting a resurgence of the spirit of refusing to be a victim, you can expect something you never anticipated: a reduction in the centralization of government, the kind that depends on crisis. After the thugs get the message, officials will get it. Make sure they get it this November, just to be sure. Vote. Without violence as a foundation for so many programs, centralization can fade as nonsense, exposed for the fraud that it is. Tenth Amendment movements can gain even more widespread support, and realize benefits denied them as whole states resisting more and more centralization. No wonder thirty-seven want to get out from bigger government as much as individuals do. Who would have thought that some states actually oppose big government? Maybe they don’t have the Potomac Fever.

McDonald is going to have sweeping results, much of which will be spiritual in nature

McDonald is going to have sweeping results, much of which will be spiritual in nature. A lot of assertion and exercise of our freedoms and independence have been warmed up in the last twenty-four months, and brought to bear on our own servants in a sort of political self-defense. Some of those spiritual effects will be the epiphanies that Independence impeaches the very arguments the servants make for centralization. Let Independence shine, and anyone who even suggests more bureaucracy looks silly. The second amendment plays a vital role in this restoration of our sovereignty and our move to safer streets once again. One of the best is that it will be such a deterrent to violent crime that Americans will begin to see how predatory our servants have been in selling us a bill of goods in nearly every single thing they urge. In centralization, servants have hidden the ball of Independence which establishes beyond dispute how little they are really needed after all. Independence. Greater and greater Independence of our very own public servants. Be sure to register for my Liberty News / Safer Streets Newsletter and Commentary.
