Jen Psaki Says We Don’t Need Prayer: Would gun control have saved poor Iryna Zarutsk

It’s not enough to pray anymore. That’s what we keep hearing, and it’s what Jen Psaki said on her show after the tragic shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis. A trans-identifying individual walked into a place of worship and safety and shattered lives. And while the media tries to frame this as another gun issue, another mental health crisis, another moment for policy debate, the more profound truth is being ignored. We’re watching a society unravel because it’s been taught to outsource its soul to the government.

Who is more valuable in our society?

This wasn’t just a shooting. It was a symptom. A symptom of a culture that’s been told it doesn’t need to believe in anything higher than itself. It doesn’t need family, doesn’t need faith, and doesn’t need personal responsibility. Just laws. Just feelings. Just government. And when Psaki says prayer isn’t enough, what she’s really saying is: don’t trust God, trust us. Trust the system. Trust the people who’ve been failing to protect our kids for decades.

But we’ve seen what happens when people put their faith in government over God, over family, over community. We’ve seen the rise in violence, in confusion, in identity crises. We’ve seen kids who don’t know who they are, who’ve been told they can be anything, do anything, change anything—even their biology—and then collapse under the weight of that illusion. And when they do, when they lash out, when they hurt others, we’re told it’s society’s fault. It’s guns. It’s a mental illness. It’s everything but the ideology that created the conditions.

The shooter in Minneapolis wasn’t just mentally ill. He was a product of a political culture that celebrates victimhood and confusion. He was someone who had been told that feelings are truth, that identity is fluid, that morality is subjective. And when you build a society on those foundations, you get chaos. You get violence. You get kids who don’t just feel lost—they act on it.

And then the media steps in. They sanitize it. They politicize it. They use it. Every tragedy becomes a tool to exert more control, enact more laws, and expand government. But the people pushing these policies aren’t the ones raising strong families. They aren’t the ones teaching kids discipline, faith, and resilience. They’re the ones telling them they’re victims who need help, that they need the state to be their parent.

You don’t see this kind of violence coming from strong family units. You don’t see it in communities that teach self-respect and personal responsibility. You see it where people have been trained to outsource their identity to politics. Where they’ve been told that the government will make them feel safe, feel wealthy, feel whole. But it can’t. It never could.

And that’s why the Second Amendment matters. That’s why guns matter—not just as tools of defense, but as symbols of self-reliance. When you take away people’s ability to protect themselves, you’re not just making them vulnerable physically—you’re making them dependent emotionally. You’re telling them they need someone else to keep them safe. And that message is dangerous.

Because the people who want to run society through centralized control are often the least equipped to do so, they’re not grounded. They’re not stable. They’re not empowered. They’re often the very people who’ve been broken by the system they now want to expand. And when you give administrative power to people who are emotionally unstable, ideologically confused, and disconnected from reality, you get dangerous outcomes.

We’ve seen it in cities run by big government. High crime. High victimization. Low accountability. And every time something terrible happens, the answer is always the same: more laws, more control, more government. But that’s not the solution. The solution is empowerment. It’s strong families. It’s faith. It’s a community. It’s teaching kids that they are responsible for their own lives, their own choices, their own futures.

I’m showing this interview again, because this is the law enforcement attitude that every community should have. We must punish criminals, aggressively.

And yes, it’s guns. Because guns represent the ability to say, “I will protect myself. I will protect my family. I will not wait for someone else to do it.” That’s not violence. That’s virtue. That’s a strength. That’s what built this country.

The shooter in Minneapolis didn’t have that strength. Robert Westman had confusion. He had an ideology. He had a system that told him he was a victim and then gave him no tools to rise above it. And when you combine that with mental illness, with identity instability, with political manipulation, you get tragedy.

And then you get people like Psaki telling us that prayer isn’t enough. We need laws. That we need government. But what we really need is truth. We need to stop pretending that feelings are facts. That identity is whatever you want it to be. That morality is optional. We need to stop raising kids in a culture of confusion and start growing them in a culture of clarity.

Because every time we ignore these truths, we create more victims. More shooters. More tragedies. And every time we politicize those tragedies, we move further away from the real solutions. We don’t need more laws. We need more courage. More conviction. More community. More faith.

And yes, we need prayer. But we also need action. Not the kind of action that expands government power, but the kind that builds personal power. That teaches kids to be strong, moral, and responsible. That teaches them that they don’t need the government to be their parent. They need to be their own person.

That’s the only way we stop this cycle. That’s the only way we protect our kids. That’s the only way we build a society that doesn’t just survive—but thrives.

And what is anybody to make of Decarlos Brown Jr., who stabbed in the neck a very young and beautiful Ukrainian refugee, just minding her own business?  What kind of evil provokes a person to stab someone to death without any provocation?  Would gun control have stopped that terrible crime on a Charlotte, North Carolina, train?  The killer had 14 prior cases; he was sentenced to six years in North Carolina prison for robbery with a dangerous weapon, breaking, and larceny.  He had a history of mental illness and homelessness.  So what would have kept him from killing young Iryna Zarutska, who came to America to escape the ravages of her war-torn country?  Only to be ruthlessly stabbed in the neck three times and to die just because she sat down in front of a killer riding a train, in a city that should be somewhat safe, by perception compared to places like New York or Los Angeles.  These killers are creations by Democrats and their platform of putting feelings above empowerment, leaving in their wake dangerous personalities in society that cannot manage themselves.  Democrats have been soft on crime, assertive on victimization, letting their supporters believe that degraded personalities can thrive in society, that a big daddy government will carry them forward.  But when that doesn’t happen, these personalities turn to violence.  And they believed that because they believed in the politics of Democrats who were soft on crime, soft on punishment.  And most importantly, soft on self-empowerment.  There is no amount of laws in the world that can correct these kinds of personalities, and no gun law would have saved poor Iryna Zarutska.  And gun control would assume that we could trust Democrats to run a healthy society, which we know from vast amounts of evidence, not to be the case.

The Wisconsin Hit List that Mitch McConnell’s Name Was On: How evil spreads in the world

First of all, political hits like the one against Wisconsin judge John Roemer in Wisconsin are more common than they should be. Like election fraud, there is a level of this behavior that we have come to accept. We see this reflected in the Bret Kavanaugh case in Washington D.C. at the Supreme Court level. The threats of assassination, literal or socially, have been a form of judicial control for years. Suppose a judge comes up with an unpopular ruling. In that case, there is the constant fear that some assassin like Douglas Uhde, who killed Judge Roemer in his home tied to a chair with zip ties, before going down into the basement to shoot himself in the head only to die days later from the wound, will knock on our door. Unfortunately, judicial activism has been very common in political tides to persuade them to behave in ways that a criminal class desires. The threat of such actions as occurred with Douglas Uhde is meant to maintain control over their logic. Speaking from a lot of experience, I have known a lot of judges over the years like John Roemer, and I certainly have known a lot of hit people like Douglas Uhde. Most hit people are not slick, bold people like you see in the movies. Instead, they are low-level people with messy hair and messy lives with a personality type that allows them to desire that line of work because they are a little crazy. Stories like this killing are so common it would provoke the question of why this one made national news. After the police found Uhde’s body in the basement, they also found a hit list in his truck at the site with Mitch McConnell’s name and the name of Governor Whitmer in Michigan.

It’s not that a vast evil is in charge of all thoughts and deeds because what happened next was a baked-in imposition similar to the original intent of judicial activism. There happens to be a push by Democrats nationally to ignore inflation numbers and all the other debacles of the Biden administration and to do something on gun control legislation to give the hapless loser some kind of victory going into the midterms. Democrats have convinced ten pathetic Republican senators to sign on to some token gun control legislation after the media has essentially put every shooting on the news that has happened across the nation for the last several weeks to perform the task. The evil at play is baked into the system; it’s not a hidden message from Skeletor or Cobra from those old 80s cartoons like GI Joe, who are orchestrating all this mess. The evil is systematic, and the media knows what to do with it when they see it. Killings like this with the judge normally wouldn’t make news outside their local community. Still, this one had the name of two prominent politicians on it who are sympathetic to progressive causes, so this story was unleashed as a national incident. Reporters taught in liberal institutions guided by liberal financing know what they need to do to keep a job in the industry, and stories like this killing keep them relevant.   So the media picked it up to help the cases of Whitmer in Michigan, who is in a tough challenge for her seat to make her a one-term governor, and to work on Mitch McConnell on gun legislation in the senate. Even if he didn’t put his name down for support of gun control legislation, he wouldn’t stand in the way of it either. After all, his name was just found on a hit list. 

So this is how these stories of hidden menace manipulate our culture at the legal level and why many cry in the night for justice but never get it because the bad guys always seem to be in control. Silently, we accept this kind of injustice and harassment of our legal system, and instead of fighting back, we hide in our homes and hope that people like Douglas Uhde never come to see us. In my experience with these kinds of people, they are quite common, and law enforcement knows about them. They live in the cracks, often have deep criminal backgrounds, and messy lives in every way you can imagine. But they kill people for a living, and judges are careful with these types because they don’t want to end up on a list like the one found in Uhde’s truck. And over time, the more rigid we have become with gun control laws, the more we have chipped away at the Second Amendment, the more empowered people like this hitman have become in our world. And our media and legal system have accepted these terms to make way for progressive politics and consider the actions “collateral damage.” The best way to stay off such lists was to do what the thugs in the world want and not stand up to anything significant. By the nature of the killing of Judge Roemer, who was retired and trying to live his best life, the fact that he was tied to a chair before receiving a gunshot to the chest indicated a payback for a court case or a series of court cases. There was a person who fled the scene and called the police. When the police came, Uhde was still in the house and had no choice but to kill himself or go to jail. 

This is precisely why we have the Second Amendment. If the person who fled the house had stayed and fought off Uhde, we would have a different story. If Judge Roemer had been armed himself and had shot Uhde long before he was tied to a chair, we would likely be short one hitman in the world, which nobody would bat an eye at. Many people would have lived happily ever after. But evil in the world doesn’t want us to be happy or to feel secure. So they want to chip away at our right to defend ourselves with gun control legislation and use every violent occurrence to perpetuate our fears so that we are easier to control. To make us all into potential victims. That is precisely what the judicial branch has come to accept, even at the level of the Supreme Court. When deciding a case, they have to think about whether or not they might be killed for making it. So is a decision worth dying for? Is Roe v. Wade worth dying for because Chuck Schumer, who just pushed those 10 Republicans into joining him for gun control legislation to make Biden look good, also inspired violence toward the Supreme Court judges, which one lonely 26-year-old kid was just trying to kill Kavanaugh. He turned himself in before making the killing. But the implication was enough to get everyone’s attention, which was the reason for the threat. And sometimes, to back up a threat, sometimes the hit must occur. It certainly got Mitch McConnell’s attention.

Everyone talks about living in a “civil society.” Yet, we have an entire political system that accepts acts of violence and the maniacal lives of people like Douglas Uhde because it helps evil gain power in the world. That is how evil grows; we accept it in small bits at a time. Killers like Uhde exist. After all, they help corrupt politicians like Chuck Schumer and Gretchen Whitmer grow in power because they terrify the people downstream, especially local judicial judges like the poor Wisconsin Juneau County Circuit Court retiree. And ultimately, that’s why they want to disarm us all so that we might be tied to a chair and killed for not ruling in the ways evil desires. And that we would attack our means of defending ourselves, making it easier for evil to spread in the world because we have no other means of dealing with it but to yield to it and hope that a killer like Douglas Uhde never knocks on our door.

The Hypocrisy of Democrats and Global Progressives: They love to kill kids as babies until they want to use death as a way to get gun control

It’s not even about the obviously disturbed kid who shot up young students and a teacher in a school in Uvalde, Texas. Salvador Ramos was an obviously disturbed 18-year-old kid who shot his grandmother in the face and then went on a rampage to the nearby school for all kinds of bad reasons, which we’re learning more and more about by the day. It is about whether an administrative state in the form of government can stop violence like this from happening. While it is my argument that they are the cause of it. And to disguise their complicity, they seek gun control to hide their obvious social failures. Ramos was a product of progressive society; immigration is undoubtedly part of his story especially living right on the border with Mexico and Texas. He had turned toward the “EMO” life as described by others. There isn’t much talk about a stable parental structure for him, certainly not a strong father figure. And he was projecting warning signs toward violence that the authorities, who are supposedly watching every one of us all the time with every keystroke on a computer, failed to pick up on. It almost looks as if progressive politics wanted this kid to snap, so they could exploit the carnage to advance their agenda. Ramas bought his guns right after his 18th birthday, put pictures of them online, and sent messages directly to a recipient talking about what he wanted to do with them. The FBI was watching, and they should have picked him up. Yet they didn’t. They either wanted him to commit the acts, or they were just stupid and lazy. Or a combination of both. The mass killing was a complete creation and failure of progressive politics, the John Dewey view of the world. 

But only within a few hours of the murders Joe Biden and many from his political caucus were exploiting the violence to support their gun-grabbing agenda as if they really thought that this tragedy was justification for advancing their long-established plans, the disarmament of society in general, so that they could rule everyone through an administrative state with even more power. Looking at the situation clearly, if the administrative state was at fault for this shooting, which it is, then why would anybody in their right mind give them more control? It was an absurd notion, yet we saw Beto O’Rourke attempt to do that very thing, pushing for gun control legislation which the communist left desperately wanted so they could implement their Marxist plans for America without even hiding it. Smartly, President Trump will give his speech to the NRA on Friday anyway, as he should. This exacerbated the gun grabbers even more because Americans see the game, as I’ve talked about many times before. They are losing feeling to these mass casualty events because they understand that the government is far more dangerous to their lives than the crazy Salvador Ramos types. So, they aren’t responding to the wall-to-wall news coverage. They are buying more guns, and they still support the NRA, even more after these tragedies, not less. So when Joe Biden gave his little speech talking about how “they” need to stand up to the gun lobby, he’s essentially forgetting who the gun lobby is. It’s not some administrative state competing with them for power; it’s the people who are really in charge who have decided that the government is more of a risk than the next government-produced lunatic.

You can see the hypocrisy in the abortion argument; the same people who are pointing to the murdered young kids in a school are advocating for the murder of kids just 9 or 10 years younger while they are babies in a mother’s womb. For some reason, murder while a child is in the birthing process is a mother’s right to choose, but when progressives advocating for a strengthened administrative state want to value life, they use school shootings to push for removing guns from society. The liberal television commentator Whoopi Goldberg actually went on a rant about confiscating all the assault weapons of Americans as if that were an option. Without considering that by doing so, we would surrender our lives over to be managed by lunatics like her? Meanwhile, there are mass shootings every day in Chicago, and nobody seems to care. There are cries to defund the police and restrict their ability to establish law and order. Mexico’s drug cartels have been empowered like never before to bring murderous drugs into America to eradicate our population with intoxication and mayhem. Nobody cares about the lives destroyed by drugs from the illegal cartel trade or the many murders and beheadings that occur along our border to maintain their “turf.” All of those are creations of a progressive administrative state. Yet, the assumption is that we are all so stupid that we might be pulled into a sad story of even more incompetence, the failure of that system to teach Ramas properly. Instead of becoming a productive member of society as a member of the immigrant community, he became an emotionally fragile killer. And gun control legislation will do what exactly, Whoopi? 

America is a society of guns; they represent protection not just from gangs of thugs and delusional killers but from the administrative state’s failures that are currently grabbing for power in maniacal ways. And no amount of emotion will change how Americans view that situation. Other places in the world may have gone along with the gun control scheme, but they have miserably paid the price. Most notably in places like New Zealand and Australia during the lockdowns from Covid, where the police state grew into all the frightening realizations of a dystopian novel. When Joe Biden asked the question as to why these school shootings are only happening in America and no place else, well, that’s because America hasn’t been stupid enough to give the government that much power. After all, as we can see throughout the world, they will abuse it. Other countries, like China, have killed off their political rivals, and people know not to stand up to authority; otherwise, they will be destroyed. Other countries also don’t have such open cultural standards as we do in America.

No place on earth does so many nationalities interact with each other with all kinds of religions so well. There are always bound to be tensions, but most countries don’t have close to the type of diversity that America does culturally. So there are shootings that happen, and there is violence. But in our media culture that reports every bug killed crossing the road, other countries in the world have control of their media conduct, and the world never hears about the killings, the political sabotage, and the many different ways that violence is conducted upon the citizens. For instance, they don’t have their version of Salvador Ramos in China because they would have locked him up the first time he put on a dress and posted it online. He would have just “disappeared” from society. And that is the kind of world that progressive Democrats like Joe Biden want in America with gun confiscations. And the sick part about it is that they only care about the lives lost of children when it gives them some political victory. But not before. Otherwise, they are the party of death, and they produce people like Salvador Ramos by the bucketloads. And they will kill again, and often. But those killers are nowhere near of a threat as the blunders of the centralized administrative state.   Americans are onto it, and they aren’t falling for the scam.

The Government is Far More Dangerous Than Mass Shooters: In the world we are living in now it’s clear for all to see

To answer the question that ABC News wanted to ask after this past week’s mass shootings failed to capture for a moment American sentiment for gun control, is that Americans are much less concerned about mass shootings because the government has proven itself far more dangerous. As Joe Biden went to Buffalo to capitalize off the horror of a mass shooting there by an 18-year-old kid who obviously had mental problems, people remembered that the Black Lives Matter activist Darrell Brooks had just recently driven his car through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin killing five and injuring over 40 others.   Joe Biden didn’t go to Waukesha and exploit that criminal enterprise as he did in Buffalo. Both were mass murders, but only one fit the political narrative of white supremacy, the ending of American life as we know it to be replaced by immigrants worldwide through open border policies. And only one could give the radical left what they wanted, gun control legislation, so that they could more easily perform their obvious task of destroying America home by home and could use a tragedy to convince Americans to give up their guns so to make the job easier for the big government globalists. There were more mass shootings during the third week of May 2022, and the mainstreamers tried to do their usual wall-to-wall coverage, but the issue was a dead one for the public. A sort of panic was forming in newsrooms across the country, Americans weren’t buying it, and that was something new nobody had seen before. 

With gas prices pushing up to 5 dollars per gallon, concerns over simple things like baby formula, inflation, even buying a new car, Americans can see what’s going on, which we have long been warning about. We are not living in a time of mass conspiracy theory, with tinfoil hats speculating on what may happen. No, we are living it now in all its gory glory. The attack on American infrastructure is fully underway by foreign powers, and the Biden administration is helping them along. By the proof offered in the film 2000 Mules, we know that the Biden administration was illegally inserted to run our government for all the reasons we see, for the world to take down the only superpower on earth and redistribute the wealth to nations around the world. We remember when Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Arizona proved that Obama’s birth certificate was forged, allowing a domestic terrorist created in the living room of Bill Ayers to start the process of destroying America. Americans reacted to the obvious Obama problems by electing Donald Trump. For all four years of the Trump presidency, the scum bags of the swamp worked to destroy the people’s pick. The latest evidence comes from the Clinton campaign itself through Robby Mook. He revealed to lawyers that Hillary Clinton personally OK’d giving media info on Trump/Russian information that their campaign had completely made up, breaking all kinds of laws in the process. The law has never stepped in to defend the American people. Still, it does act to destroy people who don’t fall in line with globalism, as advocated not just by Obama, Clinton, and now Joe Biden, but many nefarious characters like the vaccine murderer Bill Gates, Dr. Fauci, Mark Zuckerberg, who openly broke many laws giving over a half a billion dollars to have President Trump removed from office, and of course George Soros. The latter has openly declared war on America for years. Americans have witnessed extreme cases of treason and sedition by many domestic terrorists in American politics and had that evidence rubbed in their faces as if to say, “what are you going to do about it.” Now people are seeing the results of all that terrorism, with transportation costs soaring beyond reason, food shortages, CRT in our schools, and the complete destruction of our society. People did not have time or energy for the latest mass shooting. 

It has been a transition in America; people used to watch the wall to wall coverage of mass shootings and think about gun control out of compassion for people slain in those events, especially the soccer mom types who are fairly new parents, fresh and compassionate, wanting a nice safe world for their kids to grow up in. They were the first to say, “maybe we should think about gun control.” But not anymore; those days are over. Even the worst of the gun violence shootouts that we heard about on the Disney-owned ABC News wire, the government has proven itself to be far more dangerous. People, of course, are concerned about whatever version of the Black Lives Matters Marxists like Darrell Brooks that might be in their neighborhood, but for them, those are acceptable risks. The government is everywhere and into everything they do and is a far greater threat. A government that will steal an election to keep the people’s pick from stopping a globalist agenda is the greater menace, and people get it. Now they see it without discussing conspiracy theories because the facts are now in front of their faces. Instead of banning guns, they are rushing out to buy them. When the power grids fail, and the looters hit the streets, and the law can’t come to every call of violence that happens because they don’t have the gas in the budget to operate their patrol cars, people are going to be left to their own devices, and they are going to want their guns. That’s the world that has been given to us by the Biden administration, illegally inserted as an act of domestic terrorism to destroy us all, with a smile on their faces while they are doing it. And the same punching bag of blame they have resorted to for years now, to blame their actions on Russia and expect people to buy it. 

It was almost humorous to watch all the old tricks by the media aligned with these government power grabs panic as people failed to show concern for the shooting in Buffalo. All mass killings are sad and terrible things. But now, even regular people who typically just go about their business are thinking of buying guns to defend themselves from an obviously criminal government spun way out of control, where the rule of law is not a concern for them. The killers and social provocateurs of society are dangerous, but not nearly as much as the Biden administration is. That concern isn’t coming from the traditional Joe Arpaio types, the Glenn Becks, or the Alex Jones versions who have always tried to point out the problem with the current American government. Now it’s those same soccer moms who used to watch the news reports on ABC News and have concern for their kids. Well, now they are pushing their husbands to buy more guns and more ammunition because society is just one power shortage away from all-out civil war in the streets, all because this Biden administration and the puppet masters that control it have shown their intentions for the complete destruction of America, and everyone in it. The attackers want an end to the world’s superpower, which means us. And they are the real threat that people finally can see for themselves.

Thank Goodness for the 1st and 2nd Amendments: As long as the bad guys follow the rules of our Constitution, they don’t have to worry

I am very grateful for two things that have obviously been tested these last couple of years; the 1st Amendment and the 2nd. If not for free speech, the Dr. Fauci/Bill Gates’s plan to take over the world with vaccines and government-mandated medicine would have had nothing to stop it. People were able to get information and make decisions based on free speech. Then, of course, what stopped a complete takeover of our legal systems in the world, especially in the United States, was our 2nd Amendment. We have so many guns in America that people personally own. At no time was a tyrannical government able to go door to door to harass us as they did in New Zealand and Australia during the made-up Covid pandemic. Made-up because the world’s governments conspired for Bill Gates funding to deny hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to the public to stop Covid. Because of free speech, we learned that the governments and their sponsors were lying to us, and if they could have used force to shut us up, they would have. In America, because of our guns, that was never an option. Instead, it has scared people for a good reason, but our attackers have had to come at us differently by attacking us through finance, medicine, and stolen elections. But they could not attack us door to door, so I am very thankful to be where we are in the spring of 2022. It’s not that the danger of these attacks has been averted. But I feel we have a fighting chance to fix these problems now that the bad guys have been exposed, and if not for the 1st and 2nd Amendments, that never would have happened. 

The number one question I get asked all the time is “what’s under my leather vests,” which I wear everywhere I go. I show my .50 caliber Desert Eagle in the video, which I don’t do often. They call it “concealed” for a reason. But the questions come because many people also want to start carrying, which I highly recommend. We have a safer world when more people carry weapons. I never plan to shoot anybody, but knowing that I can handle whatever anybody throws at me with ill intent gives me the peace of mind to think better about the world I’m living in. The bad guys always want to rule through fear, and a gun-carrying public takes that fear away, which allows us all to have an entirely different conversation. Of course, I wear the big leather vests to allow me to conceal that big gun that holsters comfortably under my arm. The weapon is too big to fit in a waistband or other hidden part of the body. So I have adjusted my attire to accommodate the large-caliber semi-automatic gun. One of the rules of carrying a personal gun is that you should carry the biggest one you can handle. I have found that 9mm and other regular caliber guns are just too small for my liking.   Bad guys can purchase armor for their bodies off Amazon and reinforce their windshields these days easily to be bulletproof. It’s a lot easier now than when I was younger to get access to armor. So I carry my guns to be able to deal with anything that might be thrown in my direction. I don’t just carry that Desert Eagle, of course. I am always prepared for a small army to engage with me out in public, and I have good reason to feel that way. But having the guns makes it so that I don’t have to worry about it. The fear comes from not knowing what you would do or could do if such a thing were to come up. With my method, I don’t have to worry about it. 

For years theories were bouncing around from the political left that wanted to believe that a large centralized government, if it was strong, could keep people safe, so there would be no need for guns. Well, that argument is long gone now, which I think is much better off than we were a few years ago. Back then, it was theory. Now we’ve seen them make their move with all the force we feared. We’ve seen the administrative state spiral out of control, as they did over Covid. So never again do we have to debate about the right to carry a gun in public or to have them in our homes. The reaction that the states have had overall this trauma has been healthy. Instead of going to more restrictive gun laws, they have loosened, and this has been with the NRA pretty much on their heels due to Soros-backed prosecutors trying to destroy them.   I have had a concealed carry permit for years, but now half of the states in America have “constitutional carry,” which is even better. It recognizes that people don’t even need a permit to carry their guns on their bodies or in their cars, and this has been a direct response to the encroachments of government during Covid. We will never be able to trust a centrally planned government. The public reaction has been to de-centralize that government and give it far less power to rule over our lives. The world’s governments showed their cards, and nobody wants to be in the situation that we just saw the Ukrainians go through. Those poor people have been stuck between one bad government and an attacking one. Without guns, they were helpless to stop the mess. At least we have been able to stop the mess with personal gun ownership in America. 

I will always live in a society that can carry a gun. I’ve always felt that way, and now I feel quite vindicated. Even in the scariest parts of the Covid lockdowns, when the streets were almost completely vacant to traffic due to the ridiculous Mike DeWine stay-at-home orders, I felt in control of my own life because of my concealed carry options. I was ready for anything, so I could afford to think about whatever else I wanted, which allowed me to see things for what was going on and to use the 1st Amendment to its full effect, which defeated the evil intentions cast upon us. As long as the bad guys follow the rules of our society, which are established clearly in our state and federal constitutions, there won’t be a need for any fighting. And there is no reason to have any gunfights. But if they don’t follow our nation’s laws, they have lots of reasons to worry, and that’s how it needs to be. I am proud of that ability to carry because we have been tested, and it worked to keep us safe. Carrying guns was the thin blue line that kept our society lawful as attackers had shown their cards to molest it. We’ve talked about it all my life, about the possibility of giving up guns and moving as a culture to a more trusting population of centralized government. Well, that’s over now. I will never live in a gunless society. I will never facilitate talk of gun control. And I am proud that so many states have responded to these last few years with constitutional carry expansion instead of more restrictive laws. Ohio even has “Stand Your Ground” now, which just a few years ago would have been unfathomable. The Zimmer case in Florida was meant to erode that trend, but under Covid, those arguments have been completely thrown out the window. And we are a much better society because of it. Because of personal carry with guns, we are a much more lawful society. It is the primary condition for preserving our constitutional republic and to keep it standing.

Biden Wants the Pillsbury Dough Boy to Lead the ATF: There is no wiggle room on gun control–zero

The first thing that always comes up from liberals regarding gun control is, “what would you (meaning Republicans and pro 2nd Amendment supporters) be willing to compromise on regarding gun control?  Of course, the assumption is that there is gun violence and that government should do something.  Gun grabbers even go so far as to indicate that massive amounts of Americans also support the liberal agenda for gun control.  With that said, there are over 300 million guns owned by Americans, largely in the spaces between the cities of America.  So what votes are they counting, the same votes that said Joe Biden won the 2020 election?  They say that Beijing Biden won, but logic also says that he only won because the Democrats cheated massively and the RINO Republicans in a position to challenge the results didn’t have the guts to do it.  Yet the question remains, what are we willing to give up on gun control, as though it was our obligation to do something because people are getting killed with guns.

But I’ve spelled it out pretty clear in many places, gun violence is more a factor of liberal action than of the guns themselves. You don’t find NRA members and mass gun owners shooting all these people.  In many cases, most every case, its victims of liberal society that have done it and continue to do it.  Like I pointed out in the video above, liberals are doing with guns what they have done with the black vote.  They are the ones who fought Republicans after the Civil War once Republicans went too far in cracking down on the secessionists.  I talked also about how Jesse James was a Democrat fighting to keep slavery alive because his mother was a massive supporter of slavery as was most of Missouri.  After the war Republicans cracked down too hard on the slave-owning Democrats which caused more violence.  Now with the shoe on the other foot, Democrats should know better.  But even more than that, Democrats maintained that anti-black attitude until they threw in the towel during the 1960s Civil Rights act.  It was LBJ who worked out a deal with Martin Luther King to rebrand themselves into supporting black people, which is what everyone thinks to this day, is that it was always that way.  Democrats are doing the same thing with gun control.  They are the cause of the problem, yet by forcing gun control action, they think to steal the entire political platform for themselves. 

I also told the story in the video of how Democrats went too far in the 90s when they thought they had gained power forever.  When Biden mentioned that he planned to put Dave Chapman in charge of the ATF I couldn’t help but think he was Janet Reno part two, going much further than she did.  Chapman is a conspiracy guy over Wako because he is planting the seeds for future government overaction with his assertion that the Wako victims were shooting at patrolling helicopters as if to justify the massive violence that the government caused in that tragedy, which should have never happened.  All these are lessons that the Biden administration should already know.  If we had a real education system, this is the kind of stuff people would be learning.  Instead, education is all about social programming, so people don’t know these things.  And ironically, Democrats should at least know their history and have learned from it to avoid problems in the future.  But nothing about the Biden gun control assertions show that they have learned any lessons from history, or that they care. 

However, the truth of the matter is that any gun control measures that Democrats might come up with will be worse than the byproduct of prohibition.  It was progressives who tried to stop liquor consumption in the 20s with prohibition.  That of course gave rise to Al Capone and the mobs that grew in most American cities and stayed in power for most of the last century.  When it comes to guns, the Ghost Gunner market is here to stay.  People will make their parts if the gun manufacturers go out of business due to lawsuits by the government.  If people can’t get their guns at the store, they will build them at home and the government, especially the ATF, won’t know anything about them.  The government will push gun ownership underground, it’s the natural human reaction to any overreach that central planners always instigate.  Nothing about today is any different from the past.  The government doesn’t get to decide if people can have guns or what guns they might have.  If I want a machine gun, I have a right to have one.  If I want a silencer, I have a right to have it.  Public safety does not overrule our ability to have guns.  Public safety could be argued well is always in jeopardy, by the way, the government operations and that their dumb decisions are the cause of most of the worst things we deal with in life. 

Biden during his announcements forgets that the Constitution is what it is, it was written to limit the power of government.  He doesn’t get to decide if the Second Amendment or any part of the Constitution is “absolute.”  The government is hired to do a job, and if we find they can’t do the job and they get too big for their pants, then an ass-kicking may be needed.  And we aren’t going to push them out of the office with BB guns.  They were so shocked when people attacked the capitol when it was realized that Trump was being forcibly taken from office by cheating the vote.  That was nothing compared to the anger I see out there.  People have been pretty nice, waiting for the next election.  Waiting for any kind of new news that America will be Great Again.  But if that hope is taken from them, what happened at the Capitol is nothing.  The politicians that are so scared as a result of that day have seen nothing yet.  Let’s hope it never comes to that, but guns are there for us to manage our government.  Not so that we can be ruled by the government. 

Guns are here to stay.  Nothing that government can do or wants to do will stop that.  Joe Biden does not have a right to institute any gun laws.  Based on the little history reported here, it is not the obligation of Republicans to give an inch on any gun control measure, no background checks, no red flag laws, no banning of Ghost Guns in any capacity.  The more government squeezes, the more validation that we have as a country to have more guns to defend ourselves from their power grabs.  Anything that the government does regarding guns, will be ignored or pushed back against.  At the very least, and I think this will happen regardless.  Texas is already talking about becoming a sanctuary state for the 2nd Amendment.  I know Ohio has a similar bill.  States are going to do what Democrats did to them, they’ll ignore the executive orders, sue the Biden administration, and go in the opposite direction.  Democrats should know better.  But reality will check them in ways they won’t like, and that’s how the ball rolls down the hill folks.

Yes, We Know Why Ahmad Ali Aliwi Alissa Killed 10 White People: The government just doesn’t want to tell you

The first problem with the mass shooting of Ahmad Ali Aliwi Alissa is that we have the government investigating itself and the role they played in provoking the kid into violence.  After a few weeks of looking into the matter authorities came away and punted as to the cause stating that they could not conclude on a motive.  Well, I’ve seen the kid’s Facebook page, its floating around out there, he liked PS4, he was very sensitive to racism, he was an angry kid, he was a consumer of pop media culture including the news, and he was certainly an anti-Trumper.  Without question the shooting as I said in the video above had enough conditional elements that we know about to reach a conclusion, which is that the young killer went to that grocery store to kill as many white people as he could, which ended up being ten innocent people.  Why, well the kid was an Islamic radical, much like the guy who attacked the Capitol recently and used his car and a knife as a weapon to kill an innocent person.  Some of these radical religions lately have been empowered by the Biden administration into thinking below the line and blaming others for their status in life.  They see that progressives are attacking the white founders of America so to bring it down, and now under this administration of victimization, these radical young people want to be a part of history as interpreted in their minds to do these kinds of actions.  And there is your motive and conditional cause.  Government has created an atmosphere of violence and victimization that has taken the cap off the craziest radicals in our society and set them loose to prey on the innocent.  And they did it on purpose to help them advance their anti-traditional American agenda. 

This Ahmad Ali Aliwi Alissa case reminds me a lot of the San Bernardino shooting just before Trump was elected president where the FBI knew what was happening but didn’t want to call the Christmas party killings an act of terror for fears of setting off the radical Islamic extremists who might protest in anger over the designation.  The FBI even let the media into the home of the killers to “investigate” just a few days after the murders so to contaminate the crime scene which should have been on lockdown for weeks to conduct a proper investigation.  I have no doubt the way that the FBI watches things that they knew what Alissa was planning.  They knew he bought the gun just a few days before killing all those poor people at the grocery store there in Boulder Colorado.  They were watching his email chatter and his social media posts and they had a pretty good idea what he was going to do, yet they did nothing about it.  Just like in San Bernardino, just like 9/11, just like many cases where terrorism becomes the act and authorities are always a step behind.  Then when the killings occur, the villain is quickly swept up and processed away for people to have the false hope that the courts will provide justice—which of course they never do.  Yet the real killers and villains are the ones conducting the investigations of violence that they actually played a part in. 

Then of course there is the region of Boulder Colorado itself where so many of these mass shootings have occurred over the years, what I call in the video conditional elements.  I don’t mean to bring conspiracy theory into the matter because to me, this Boulder case is pretty open and shut, the kid was sensitive to racism and the media culture doing the heavy lifting for the Biden administration heard the dog whistle and did his deed so that progressives could push gun confiscation under the new administration with what they thought was a justified gun grab that people might support.  But I have written extensively at times about the occult and how it ties into the Denver Airport which is very nearby.  That region of the world, the center of America where the traditions of the Old West are everywhere have left behind clues to their mindset and political intentions with the art that is all over that place, starting with the demon horse outside but then showing quite graphically the apocalyptic art that is shown openly there which officials say mean nothing.  But the local Mason’s lodge is standing by the enterprise thinking they are playing a role in the grand scheme of things as just another secret society makes a play for world domination.  You know, the usual stuff.  Then of course that mentality spills over into local politics and you find the conditional elements of anti-American sentiment that creates the school shooting in Columbine, the Batman shooting at Aurora and now this shooting of white people only at the Boulder grocery.  The result in all those shootings which were just a few miles from all the locations as suburbs of Denver was never to dig into the shooters themselves for justice, but to go after gun control measures which then would leave America defenseless from the evil intentions of a change state government that can’t but help but give away their plots which spill over into artwork at the Denver Airport almost like some maniacal riddle they dare us to figure out before the destruction of our species.  

Ultimately, we have the government investigating itself for the evil intentions we see playing out everywhere.  This government, the Biden administration, which is Obama part two wants to bring down white America completely and leave behind a progressive European extension with a communist government tied to China and a new World Order ran by the United Nations.  And they poke the stick in the cages of these dumb young kids, fatherless, smoking too much pot which is also legalized in Colorado to help pave the way for these kinds of mass killings, and it is also the government that is encouraging a victimized class of misplaced immigrants, such as the kid in the Boulder case, to express themselves through violence, which of course is happening more and more.  The ultimate goal is to take guns from society so that government can have complete dominion over innocent people.  And this kid like all the mass shooters will be tucked away somewhere and treated nicely for the insanity that their trials will prove to be their downfall.  And we will have even more people living off the government dime with the full intention of destroying our economy so that the dollar is no longer the standard for the world.  After all, one more insane criminal living behind bars who can’t even think of being a productive citizen is something the richest country in the world can afford, right?

I really didn’t want to go full conspiracy there but how can you not.  The government is lying to us when they say they can’t find a motive for the killings.  But yet they are pushing for gun control without knowing the details that caused the killings?  No, the government knows what caused Ahmad Ali Aliwi Alissa to kill ten white people in a Boulder grocery store.  They just don’t want to tell you because they fear that the polling numbers for some gun control measures under the Biden administration might lose some of the white voters they are trying to destroy in American society.  And to not see that you’d have to be blind, and stupid, which many of us are not.  We might not want to admit that our government is that bad, and that the FBI is that openly corrupt, but the evidence is glowing like Vegas lights on a clear night.  It might be painful to know these things, but yes, we do know them.

Gun Violence is Caused by Liberal Failures: Done on purpose for the goal of government control over people

Are you seeing the pattern, this past week another very non NRA type of person conducted a mass shooting, this time it was Aminadab Gzxiola Gonzalez, which turned out to be a case of workplace violence in Southern California, specifically Orange County.  Four people were killed, and one was injured as the gunman went on a shooting rampage at the office complex of a realtor and as the media was quick to point out, it was the 3rd mass shooting in just two weeks.  Oh, but they forgot one, which is the one from Virginia Beach that I addressed in the video above.  There was really four, even more than the media wanted to admit.  Actually, I’m surprised that this one with Gonzalez they wanted to count, because of the guy’s name.  Maybe it was because he was older, but he certainly didn’t fit the profile they were looking for.  But if they can exploit it for gun control, then perhaps they no longer care about the details.  After all, the shooting in Virginia Beach didn’t result in more than four people being killed.  Only one died, but there were eight others who were shot in a gang bang type of affair that would have looked familiar in a movie like John Wick or the video game Grand Theft Auto. 

Most of these articles and the members of the media are not NRA members, and they certainly aren’t part of the mainstream culture of America.  They are hired to report the news by corporate media activists so if they want to keep their jobs, they need to advocate for progressive causes, and as we know, progressives want to get rid of guns in society and they will exploit any action that will help them do it.  They don’t really care that the mass shootings are happening, they just want to use them to advance their gun control measures.  However, they have a problem because the killings are not coming from white Trump supporters who are in the NRA.  Instead, and this is the case with all four of these shootings over the last two weeks, they are coming from names of people who don’t have Anglo Saxon types of backgrounds.  Only the one in Atlanta comes close to the kind of person they want to see causing all this violence which they tried to directly attribute to Donald Trump’s blame of coronavirus on Asians, without dealing with the real problem of sex addiction. 

In fact, the four mass shootings that occurred all have in common breakdowns in behavioral circumstances which can be looped back to liberal causes.  In Atlanta, its sex addiction which progressives and their pornographic society have advocated for, and which the big tech companies make abundantly available as a means of controlling the animal instincts in human beings, which makes them more compliant to government mandates.  Then there was the shooting in Boulder Colorado, which came from a known Islamic extremist who specifically targeted white people.  An obvious case of racism by a young immigrant kid from the Middle East and was an anti-Trumper.  Not an NRA type as the media wanted, but they tried to divert the cause of the shooting away and to exploit the emotion of the killings to provoke gun control measures among politicians.  Then of course there was the shootout at Virginia Beach just a week ago from this writing which involved lots of minority types of kids obviously influenced by violent video games and entertainment culture.  They were fighting in the streets and in the clubs like they see on those entertainment venues obviously not thinking of the consequences of their actions as if they thought they were all going to respawn after they were shot or killed.  Then you have this Gonzalez guy killing these poor people in Orange County.  I wouldn’t say we don’t understand the cause of those killings.  Obviously Gonzalez knew all the people he attacked and at this point we could call it some variation of workplace violence, where emotions run wild in a business climate where people are trying to make a living and things get out of hand. 

In all the shootings we are looking at serious breakdowns of the expectations that liberalized society has set, that ends up falling apart in these people who then turn to violence to resolve their conflicts.  I would then offer that it was the liberal plan all along to break down elements of our society for a good ol’ Kotter change state by removing fathers from families, promoting pornography in entertainment, violence in movies without context, and turning to racism every five seconds in our media culture to stir up the emotions of the disenfranchised at every opportunity to enact violence on the culture they seek to conquer, which is traditional American value in this case.  People who belong to the NRA, grow up with good fathers who give them Red Ryder BB guns to learn firearm safety, and would maybe even join the Boy Scouts to become better people are not the people doing these mass shootings.  It is the products of liberalized society who are failing and turning to guns to resolve their quandaries with existence.  They are almost pushed into it by the media culture who of course want to exploit those deaths so to enact the gun control measures which was always the plan. 

Now of course those of us who oppose gun control want a civil society.  We want law and order and respect for our fellow people.  We see guns as a way to maintain a civil society.  In all these mass shootings for instance, we didn’t see a good guy with a gun there to put down the threat.  There was no concealed carry holder around to end the violence before the police arrived.  That is actually the reason the violence happened, and it might be very hard for average people to admit to themselves that is why progressives in the form of Democrats and some Republicans are against fully embracing a society of guns and CCW owners roaming around in public to keep violence from happening, because progressives want the mass shootings to happen so they can use them to advocate for the removal of guns from society, and thus, the easy control of government over the people they manage.  Ultimately, that is why you hardly heard a peep about the shooting in Virginia Beach because it was a gang bang affair, and that kind of thing isn’t relatable to the average person in society.  But the grocery store shooting in Boulder and the workplace violence situation in Orange County California does, so that is why those were exploited as opposed to others. But they all are caused by the liberal policies of politics that have gone wrong or gone right if the point of view is to remove guns from society with emotional stories that the public might support as a result of the tragedy.  But I see something different in these post Trump years.  The Biden administration and the handlers behind him have overplayed their hand.  They’ve especially done it on this gun violence issue trying to exploit every occurrence to full effect.  People are catching on, and they are numb to the emotional plot points, and its not working.

Stand Your Ground in Ohio: There is never a “duty to retreat,” the law is wrong

It tells you all you need to know about gun control, especially in states like Ohio where gun rights are very explicitly covered in its own Constitution, that all subsequent gun legislation has been designed to drive people toward more government central authority and not the individual rights guns protect. And that is certainly true of the liberal resistance, even by the current Republican governor of all forms of “stand your ground” laws that move through the legislature. There is another attempt at this now floating around Columbus, Ohio by lawmakers and the debate that it has spawned has been predictable. But for me, it is simply the legislature that is trying to catch up to the reality and intent of the original Constitution. This “duty to retreat” stuff is completely wrong. When assaulted with a threat, no human being has a duty to retreat, under any circumstance just to protect some hippie view of some collective existence being more important than individual ownership and the maintenance of private property.

Listening to the current crop of Democrats and open socialists running for president, all who support gun control and therefor the destruction of individual rights in favor of group affiliations, it makes me sick to think that we paid a lot of money for their educations only to have them grow up and become……that. Joe Biden isn’t going anywhere in the presidential election, but he’s been in the top job and knows better, yet when he talks about restricting gun magazines that can feed a gun in a firefight, he is way off his rocker. Citizens can’t have inferior weaponry to the state-controlled military. Who controls a potential out of control military if the wrong people are running things from the White House? People have to be able to stand up to corruption and abuse of power, and you can’t be shooting BB guns when they come knocking on your door to confiscate your property because they want it, or to throw you in jail because you are representing the wrong political party. (Roger Stone)

Our military and police are not a one stop shop of honor and protection. They must ultimately be managed by the people who pay them, and if the power goes to their heads and they are the ones with all the heavy weapons, silencers, and high capacity magazines, then they have leverage over the population and that is not their job. And when politicians fail us, such as they did during the Trump election, someone must have the power to keep them in check. No matter what anybody thinks of Donald Trump, his election revealed massive corruption at the top of the food chain, particularly among the Democrat Party and their scandals planted in Ukraine for their own enrichment. It goes far beyond Joe Biden. When the FBI is willing to edit FISA warrants and use the law for their own political desires, they will do anything else to harm private citizens and it is for that reason that any law in any state has a duty to retreat, to give the bad guys the advantage over the good, pure and simple. We know that we can’t trust government. We need government to manage affairs, but we know the power goes to their heads often, and we need to defend ourselves when it does.

In one of my published works, The Symposium of Justice the book starts out by the police letting a rapist out of jail to go after a young girl in the community. The police have a levy on the ballot for more money so they want to remind people how much the police are needed by letting a rapist out of jail and driving him by the home of a young teenage girl to “nudge” him into making her into a target that will ultimately panic the public into voting for more police funds. Just short of the attack a vigilant shows up and beats the rapist up to near death ruining the plans the police had and saving the girl from disgrace. A lot of people who have read my book think all that sounded like fiction and conspiracy theory dribble, but I can report that the entire first scene, including the vigilante action is nearly biographical and based on my own experience with the police department in Mason, Ohio while I was raising my family there and we became complicated with a marijuana distribution ring that the police were protecting, going all the way up to the mayor at the time. So don’t ever tell me I have some moral obligation to “retreat” when threatened. If you know how the game works you have a right and duty to justice to stand your ground, and nothing else. That is why my book was called The Symposium of Justice, because it was a look at what justice really is as opposed to what political tides want it to be.

American society and the culture of Ohio as a state shouldn’t not have anywhere in any of its laws a duty to retreat from a threat leaving action to the authorities. We shouldn’t give power to politically motivated prosecutors and loser lawyers to prosecute individuals who protect themselves and others with a gun, there are far more dangerous crimes out there to worry about. But to allow guns to be villains because they give power to individuals is the wrong sentiment and has no place written or implied in law. Rather, the key to a great society is when individuals can protect what they build and work for when danger comes to alter their momentum. For instance, if a businessman is taking his wife out for a nice dinner and they pull up somewhere for leisure and a robber is looking to enrich themselves at the expense of the couple, the businessman should be able to shoot the bandit dead on the spot without question, then continue their night of enjoyment unhindered. The businessman and his wife should not be subjected to embarrassment and plunder while the authorities waste countless amounts of tax dollars tracking down the villain, especially if it is found out that the businessman is a political contributor to a rival party and the bandit was sent to embarrass the businessman and force him down into a hole to hide in with disgrace from being robbed. This happens more than people are willing to admit. But regardless, its not the job of the robbed to retreat. That is just ridiculous.

There should never be in any legal writing any right to retreat, it goes against the very nature of a good society itself. Such a thing only helps the ill intent of villains, never the good people that are just trying to live their lives. The intent of such a law is to attempt to regulate good behavior to the words on a page and the promise of an oath to God, and these days, neither mean much to the villains of our society. But the barrel of a gun does, and it is that which truly keeps our world good and peaceful. Every person has a right to stand their ground, and nothing else, under no other pretense. Especially in Ohio!

We Have Guns to Keep Politicians Honest: Another pot smoker, Karmala Harris and her gun buyback lust

When people talk about the success of the Australian gun buyback program it must be understood that they only have around 25 million people in their country. For comparison my home state of Ohio has roughly 12 million. And culturally, the histories of the two places aren’t similar, America was founded out of revolution and the Constitution created to uphold that law at gunpoint if necessary. If the police serving the state in the morning was your friend upholding the same Constitutional objectives but by the time of sun set were the enemy, it has been understood that the need for assault weapons could give people a chance to take back their government, whereas in other places around the world it has been assumed that the people would surrender themselves to the state under whatever conditions were presented. And it is under those understandings that the greatest economy in the world flourished, because investment was safe and opportunity boundless, which is good for business. Guns are at the center of American life and in that regard, buybacks of any guns is off the table.

So here we have another Democrat running for president, this time Senator Karmala Harris, another pot smoker, who is suggesting gun buybacks for assault weapons on the Tonight Show, even as we have learned to what extent the FBI and The New York Times conspired to resurrect a smear campaign against the Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over completely salacious stories going back to his Harvard days in an attempt to destroy him and the Trump nomination that put him in place. The obvious attempt by the government and the forces supporting that government, the liberal press, are obviously willing to do anything to destroy anybody who stands against them with a very thuggish manner and we’re supposed to view these events with candor and entertain the slightest notion that those same people want to buy back our weapons to usher in an age of peace? Give me a break.

I am passionate about this issue for the same reasons that I hate school levies for public schools, because the suggestions come from vile institutions representing failure and they hide behind children to sell their message. You can clearly see that on the Tonight Show townhall like event that had Karmala Harris talking about gun buybacks with students in the audience. You can always see that when labor unions want a raise, they put the kids out in front and their guilty parents to sell the levy at football games and the corner grocer. In the case of the school levy intent to tax private property in order to give kids a free, socialist education, or in the case of gun control, to provide safety. In both cases the plea is meant to rock our sense of security and for a price, we can win it back.

Most of the gun violence in America is committed in low income areas overly manipulated by failed Democrat policies and is generally gang related. Governments like gangs no matter where in the world they exist because they inspire in the public a need for more safety. Voters will vote for more police and more police levies if they think it will make them feel safe, so gangs of thugs and drug dealers are allowed to menace portions of society just enough to keep stories flowing on the front page of newspapers and the nightly news leads. People, especially peaceful people, will always vote for more politicians who promise to do something to solve the situation, which of course never happens. The gangs of our cities and of the world do their purpose, they drive normal people to clamor for safety and that often means more government.

But there is a reason there isn’t much crime outside of our cities where there are likely three to four guns per household and people don’t go around shooting each other. That is where America lives, and they understand that government often fails them. They are ready in case it comes knocking on their door, but they’d prefer to think about other things until that time comes. If and when it does, they have their guns in their gun cases and it reminds them of the laws we all agree to under the Constitution to have them. Once that security is taken away, well that’s another matter. America is not Australia, or New Zealand, or even Great Britain for that matter. Our nation was founded with the understanding that we have a government and we want that government to work. But we also understand that it fails often, government and without the threat of guns in every home, its really the only thing that keeps politicians honest.

We have seen from the same people who are suggesting gun confiscations and increased background checks a tendency to manipulate government for their own climbs to power. Hillary Clinton comes to mind and the FBI that was firmly in her camp to overthrow an American election in 2016 using the courts to do their bidding. When such a world is presented to us we have a choice, we can either take it as the rest of the world has decided, or we can take back our government by force. And that will require more than a BB gun. It will take those AR-15s and even more powerful weapons. I would argue that we should have our own military style weapons bigger than guns to defend our homes and neighborhoods from power hungry politicians who turn our police into weapons of war—friends today, enemies tomorrow. Assault weapons are not for hunting, they are for defense and maybe against property rights abuses from well prepared military figures who beat down our doors with full body armor and heavily plated vehicles. God forbid anything like that might happen, but personally, I’ve seen the roots of it many times and its very, very possible. The only way to keep a government honest is with the threat of gun ownership. The more, the better.

And that is what all the Democrats are afraid of. What they are selling to the public in their runs for office is more government, not less. So of course, if mistakes happen along the way, which they always do, they don’t want people shooting back. Democrats are more than happy to have collateral damage if it takes them to their version of the “greater good.” But we have seen what they are willing to do with 300 million guns in American households, imagine what they would do if that threat wasn’t there, and all we had to throw back at them was a strongly worded letter. Mankind has learned its lesson and America was the result. We’re not going back to European hierarchy. The Australians may have been tricked into it, as is New Zealand, but in the United States, its just not an option. It is well understood how to eliminate the next mass shootings. The FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, all those government agencies just need to do their jobs. And we need to get rid of gun free zones so that good guys can shoot and kill bad guys. It is that simple. But gun confiscation is when government goes too far, and answers will be required that nobody will like. And that is the way it is.
