In Part II and Part III, let us look at how this is done non-violently to further impeach the anti-gun hysteria and the smear which the left is offering as its best evidence against the armed citizen. As if there were any best evidence against personal Independence.
I often speak of the ubiquitous armed citizen, the idea that armed adults are in such sufficient numbers that thugs begin to notice the increase in the odds that their target will be armed with lethal force. This ubiquitous armed citizen becomes a ubiquitous deterrent of crime for both business and pleasure.
The epiphany even for non-gun owners is in how they soon discover when living in freedom once again that they, too, have been had right along with gun owners. Their money and freedoms had been lifted by the ton along with gun rights. In order to loot us all, the gun owners had to be vexed first, Americans divided. It is clear now that everyone else was next. Who would have thought that this McDonald would actually unite Americans?
The epiphany and spiritual awakening comes in the moment one discovers that guns were not taken from thugs, but that Independence itself was what was being hidden.
Independence speaks for itself you might say, and shows how unneeded so many anti-violence-based programs are. Once someone tolerates your taking their means of self-defense, it’s easy to take the rest. The deeper objective of gun control was to hide the ball of independence which, if it were truly respected, would have been present to embarrass automatically any official suggesting the stupid things they suggest. No such embarrassment attaches to official nonsense since that hour the optimal safeguard of sovereign independence from public servants was concealed from the sovereign. Once independence is forgotten, silly programs can be made to look necessary.
But when Independence shines, then it becomes so clear how people in freedom don’t need servants making their choices for them, even under penalty of fines and criminal charges. Under Independence, the wild leftist solutions to problems cannot be forced. They are not tolerated. Too many better safeguards in place. Freedom.
Leftism is not made to look just, it is made to look stupid when there exists something so effective and righteous that nothing can take its place: the armed citizen as the optimal deterrent to violence. Thus, independence from our servants had to be hidden, discouraged, punished as hostile and hateful.
It almost worked. Almost.
But what about more guns and violence if more Americans begin to exercise their freedom from their abusive public servants and begin by buying a handgun? The better question is this: what happens to society if more Americans depend on themselves instead of upon absentee policies which first disarm them, then are never around when citizen meets thug?
This is the formula which has changed your grandfather’s liberalism of ‘conscience of the people’ into a crazy quilt of ruining safeguards and then substituting centralization for you, yourself. It is no longer a nanny state promising to take better care of you than you can of yourself: it is now a competition for supremacy, and centralization competes with you for that supremacy.
Here is the part the left hid from view, the real crime: Independent action on the authority within every citizen trumps the authority of the state in even contemplating taking your place, especially when that delegated authority is absentee. Especially when that authority originates within the citizen and is merely delegated to officials, temporarily at best. It can be revoked. It was revoked in McDonald. Actually, in being remanded to the lower court under incorporation, the gun ban was impeached.
The second amendment itself impeaches the need for gun bans and other claims to public safety.
That authority to stop a violent act never left the citizen, it was only frustrated. Ignored. Hidden. Punished. The depredation – the real crime – occurs when the state promises to take your place and then does not. It is part of the formula that in order for the state to succeed, its programs must always fail. Epiphany.
McDonald restores the path back to Independence from our public servants by its incorporating 2A, saying the states can no longer punish carrying a gun as if shall not be infringed applies only to the feds. The Supreme Court has a habit of handling one single issue, and leaving the rest to the people to summon it and to utilize it. Now it’s been handed to you; what’re we going to do with it?
The first order of business is to understand that the second amendment will not bring more violence, but will non-violently protect whole communities from violence such that violence cannot be an excuse to order costly programs with centralization as the real goal. Along with the banishment of gun bans, we hope to see the banishment of tons of anti-violence programs as boondoggles, and soon, the better, wiser re-assignment of our tax monies. Maybe smaller taxes instead.
It seems almost as if there is nothing left to do, but there is. Non-gun owners don’t need to buy a gun, but they do need to connect the dots and see how the ubiquitous armed citizen fights crime the moment it strikes, and with all legal authority to act. America needs to see how gun control hid this honest authority of ours and for the sinister purposes of undermining the United States by the assumption of powers never granted them by us.
The beauty of McDonald is that crime and violence can no longer be used as an excuse to increase taxes, punish people, indoctrinate or intimidate Americans into surrendering the rest of their sovereign authority and our very spirit of refusing to be a victim.
It is amazing that our Independence shows how the armed citizen in very large numbers is a deterrent to violent crime in every large numbers, all done non-violently. Instead of gun control’s discouraging our Independence, our independence discourages crime. And silly, costly programs which feed on violence.
The mission of safer streets as a reflection of our self-rule in Independence demands only one sacrifice: our involvement in instructing our public servants and our hounding supervision of them from now on.
