Concealed Carry of Weapons Superior To Taking Weapons, Part II: S. 388 is Huge
By John Longenecker (02/01/07)
Huge for all Americans. - Let me say something to you right now: as a solution to social crisis, liberty is always better than takings. Always better than nearly any social program out there.
The formula for bureaucrats is interference. The measure of success on their personal score card is substituting constituent dependency on their agencies for the joy and happiness of personal independence. With me so far?
The largess of officials is a reflection of their self-indulgent, feel-food desires, often well-intentioned, sometimes hostile to the U.S., always indifferent to the real needs of people, sometimes the best thing being to leave them alone.
Government’s job isn’t to nanny people, but as executives to protect citizen rights and the nation.
The official solution to shootings, other criminal violence and various crises is always the takings, the interferences, the further restrictions, and more of the self-indulgent, feel-good things that pass for compassion, but which are actually indifferent to our homes and communities, namely by punishing those who didn’t do the shooting. This includes non-gunowners. Stay with me.
Gun control is one such example as something that affects not only liberty nuts, but the non-gun owners as well, or still more persons who didn’t do the shooting. The key is to understand how gun control figures in the entire spectrum of self-indulgent social programs imposed on all of us.
With regard to S. 388, introduced by U.S. Senator John Thune (R - S.D.) the idea is more intuitive and righteous than counter-intuitive as your regular gun laws have been.
I’m going to say now why S. 388 is huge.
Take a peek into the head of the average official. With some exceptions, such as U.S. Representatives Dr. Ron Paul and Mr. Thune and other brave and insightful representatives, the majority of officials believe that their interference and cultivation of dependency on agencies is leadership.
Gun control breeds violence by intimidating the honest in choosing between abuse at the hands of the criminal and abuse at the hands of the system. It is personally important to officials for constituents to depend on them – this is not leadership – and this illness is at the heart of many social programs. It is why many programs seem unreasonable on their face and why they don’t work in real life.
But if you unwind violence instead of unwinding liberty to growing misery – if criminal aggression is instead answered by the individuals in the best legal and tactical position to answer it, namely the target – then the public can discredit and unwind many, many of the larger social programs cultivating that increasing dependency on officials.
In short, and I’ve said this before – liberty can take care of itself. Just quit dreaming up programs to compel more and more dependency on agencies.
Answering violence with personal authority can expose the fraud in many seemingly unrelated social programs.
If you think you can dissolve them one-by-one in Washington, keep trying. But there is a key to easily unlocking and humiliating many of these for what they are: predatory.
By understanding that many social programs are theoretically based on violence, and if so-called violence is met by the individual who refuses to be a victim, then you might re-examine social programs for their usefulness.
Imagine not only carrying your weapon wherever you have a right to be because you may need it on short notice and because you are in authority to do so – but imagine your very carrying having canceled many social programs that depended on you and millions of other Americans being hurt by criminal violence.
Compelled Dependency – socially engineered dependency – is un-American, and it is the modern slavery for all persons here. All of us.
Repealing all gun laws – all 22,000 of them – can impeach many of the modern social programs tied somehow to crime, violence and the mischaracterizing utterances of our values. This is the heart of gun control in America. Gun control is not meant to be anti-violent – it is meant to stop personal independence as a resistance to adverse social change – the compelling of dependency on official agencies.
It is to block a transfer of wealth.
Remember that you not only have the legal authority and the right to instruct your officials and to vote, but you have the legal authority and right to use up to lethal force in self-defense when facing grave danger alone – free from people who say that you can’t.
Use that authority. 22,000 gun laws boondoggle, punish and intimidate the sovereign citizen into believing otherwise.
It’s not really frightening that so many have guns – what frightens some is their legal authority and the responsibility, the liberty, that comes with it.
Meanwhile, the thing that makes the liberty nut so nutty is the joy that comes with the responsibilities of freedom.
In a word, Independence. It’s more fun to be a grown-up than a kid. Adults in authority don’t need nannies.
I’d love to say, You’re Fired!
Repeal all gun laws. Because so many unwelcome social programs depend on your compelled dependency on them.
Cultivating dependency on official agencies is an immense transfer of our liberty and authority out of our homes. Visit http://www.TransferOfWealth.net/
