“GUN CONTROL” IS ABOUT “PEOPLE CONTROL”—NOT “PUBLIC SAFETY”
PART ONE
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEW YORK GOVERNMENT ARE OVERTLY SUSPICIOUS OF AND CONTEMPTUOUS OF AMERICA’S ARMED CITIZENRY AND ARE INTENT ON DISARMING IT
When New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s predecessor, Andrew Cuomo, signed into law the New York Safe Act of 2013, the Cable News network, CNBC, hailed it as——
“. . . the toughest gun control law in the nation and the first since the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, calling for a stricter assault weapons ban and provisions to try to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill who make threats.” See the article posted on CNBC.
Cuomo himself boasted that the “Safe Act” was the toughest “gun control law” in the Nation and did so on more than one occasion. since signing it into law in January 2013. See the article in Politifact.
Yet, while, one Anti-Second Amendment Group, the “Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence,” had acknowledged the “ NY Safe Act” to be the most “comprehensive legislation to be passed in 2013,” IT did not call it the toughest in the Nation, as noted by Politifact in its article, supra.
According to Politifact, the Gifford organization ranked New York’s “Gun Law” as the fifth toughest in the U.S. in 2012, behind California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, and that status did not budge in 2015.
Americans who recognize the singular importance of the right of the people to keep and bear arms in the maintenance of a free Constitutional Republic would rightfully look with a jaundiced eye at any State of the Union that would take pleasure in securing for itself a first place trophy for profaning a fundamental right without which the life, safety, and well-being of the common man falls victim to the predatory beast, and to the predatory man-beast, and worst of all, to the predatory, monstrous Government.
Governmental action that whittles away at the most important of fundamental, natural law rights, that of armed self-defense, is not worthy of emulation.
That is especially true in a free Constitutional Republic such as our own—one that prides itself as a bulwark against tyranny. This is exemplified in the nature of the Government the Framers constructed for a new Nation.
Such a Government must recognize the autonomy, sanctity, and inviolability of the individual.
That idea explains why our Government is one of carefully limited, circumscribed powers and why our natural law rights and liberties are set forth in a Bill of Rights this Government is prohibited from tampering with.
These included the right of self-expression, the right of personal ownership of property, and the right of each person to br secure and ensure his health, safety, and well-being from an overbearing Government.
The design of the U.S. Constitution asserts that the citizenry is sovereign over the Government and that the Government’s sole purpose is to serve the needs of and interests of Americans, the common man, not those of itself, nor those of a privileged few.
The Federal Government under the present Biden Administration, along with Political “Progressives” or outright Marxists in Congress and those presently running several State Governments, have forgotten this or otherwise consciously, perfunctorily dismiss out of hand, the core governing principles, precepts, tenets, and philosophical underpinnings of our Free Republic.
The Government of New York from its inception, as one of the first member States of a fledging Nation, has never accepted the core principles and values of the founding fathers.
CONSIDER——
New York ratified the U.S. Constitution on July 26, 1788, and in so doing became the 11th State of the Union.
Roughly one and a half years later, on March 27, 1790, New York signed and sealed its Ratification of the Bill of Rights and sent it to the Federal Government. See the article in the National Archives.
The Nation’s Bill of Rights that New York ratified included a codification of the natural law right of the people to keep and bear arms.
But roughly two years before, on April 20, 1777, the New York State Government shunned recognition of the fundamental right of the people to keep and bear arms for the residents of New York.
Although the State agreed to recognize the God-given right to armed self-defense on the Federal level, it pretended that this fundamental, unalienable right did not apply to itself and would not recognize the right to armed self-defense in its own Bill of Rights. Citizens residing in New York would suffer the consequences, and through time, those consequences worsened.
As one of the original Thirteen States, the history of New York’s attack on the sacred right to armed self-defense is unparalleled.
In the Nineteenth Century, New York adopted three new Constitutions. It adopted a fifth in the Twentieth Century, in 1938. That would be the last one to date, although the State made several incremental changes, as amendments, to the 1938 rendition.
But the Government of New York never recognized, Constitutionally, a basic right of the people to keep and bear arms for the citizenry that resided in New York, and it would never create compacts with other States that did recognize in THEIR Constitutions the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
So, residents of other States visiting New York would do well to leave their firearms outside the borders of New York on pain of arrest, conviction, and confinement for failure to heed New York laws on the matter.
The only concession New York would deign to make for those New Yorkers who sought to exercise their Second Amendment right to armed self-defense was a legislative enactment.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms exists only in New York’s Civil Rights Law, NY CLS Civ R § 4. That law was enacted in 1909.
However, unlike a Constitutional Amendment, what the Legislature in Albany creates, it can easily modify or repeal.
Albany hasn’t done so, realizing it need not do so as the elaborate restrictions Albany has imposed, through time, on those wishing to exercise the right are so numerous and so onerous that little benefit is derived by those who are “privileged” to possess one.
The New York Government’s gun laws and the Governmental policies developed around them reflect an odd attitude, one wholly antithetical to the thoughts, wishes, and intentions of the Founding Fathers.
The view of the New York Government is one that has gained traction today throughout much of America among the radical Left element of society.
This element along with dangerous foreign actors have become increasingly emboldened by a weak, effete Renegade Federal Government whose policies have endangered the life and safety of Americans at home and abroad, as well as populations of the common man, throughout the world.
The Biden Administration and State Governments like New York convey a contemptuous attitude toward the common man, one belying a claim to cherish a “Democratic” spirit that our “Free” Press and the “Democrat Party” constantly go on about.
This attitude of scorn, ridicule, and contempt, toward the common man is the hallmark of Despotism, but masquerading as seemingly innocuous “Political Progressivism”—a phrase that has gained currency especially today.
Political Progressivism in America is a betrayal of our sacred heritage.
In a bitterly fought battle for independence from Tyranny—our forefathers succeeded in vanquishing a mighty foe, against long odds.
Yet, with the American Revolutionary War fresh in the minds of New Yorkers during its early days of Statehood, one must wonder how it is and why it is that the New York Government would eschew recognition of the importance of the armed citizenry by failing to mirror the language of the Second Amendment of the Nation’s Bill of Rights, in its own Constitution after ratifying such an Amendment for the Nation’s Constitution.
But that contradictory attitude never changed. Rather, through the years and centuries, that attitude solidified and metastasized.
And through it all New Yorkers were fed a lie about civilian citizen ownership and possession of “guns,” and they continue to be fed a lie.
Such is the power of and the philosophy of Political Progressivism in New York and in the Country at large.
An adherent of Progressivism models economic policies on the principles of socialism, and his ethics are grounded on the creed of utilitarianism, a system that justifies the worst outcomes for individuals, albeit arguing a purported greater good accruing for society as a whole.
But who decides what that “greater good” is if not Progressives who arbitrarily construct it?
That “Greater Good” inevitably aligns with the principles, precepts, and tenets of social and political Progressivism that the Government extols.
And this present New York Hochul Government, not unlike those of other Northeastern States, some Midwestern States, and those States on the Pacific Coast, professes to adopt legal principles grounded on internationalist, cosmopolitan norms, wholly alien to our own.
Adoption of such jurisprudential norms would strip our Nation of its history, heritage, culture, identity, and freedoms upon which our Country, in less than 250 years, had, beyond dispute, become the most powerful, culturally vibrant, economically robust, and wealthiest Nation in the world.
Why would any State Government and why would the present Biden Administration wish to destroy that legacy? Yet, they are doing this, and at a frenetic pace, apparently afraid of the outcome of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.
Many passive Americans are forced to reassess their faith in “Progressivism.”
And these Governments that have blatantly sold out our Nation and its people know this and they are trying to break the will of the American people.
To accomplish this, these State Governments and the Federal Government, have strongarmed business, finance, and the technology sectors. And, having enlisted assistance from radical ideologues in both Academia and the Press as well, they have attacked Americans’ sacred natural law rights.
They have done this openly, and brazenly, using the flimsiest of arguments to justify their illegal actions.
In this race to the bottom, Progressive Governments are systematically attacking the most important right a human being can have—the natural law right of self-preservation. And they are of one mind on this and they are unequivocal about this.
A firearm is the most effective means available to secure one’s life and safety from predatory man or predatory Government. This fact is never admitted, and it is often denied, but it is true, nonetheless.
American Despots know this and attempt to ignore it. Like a stage magician, they deflect attention away from this. They talk about “Gun Violence,” “Public Safety,” “Mass Shootings,” “School Shootings,” “Civilized Society,” and even “International Norms.”
This is a blind. It is an attempt to hide the truth of their true beliefs and aims from the American people.
Many Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court know the threat posed by Tyrants in Government, too. But can their decisions in Heller, McDonald, and Bruen do anything to stop that threat when State Governments and the Federal Government’s Biden Administration contemptuously ignore the High Court’s rulings?
______________________________
PART TWO
GOVERNMENT’S OSTENSIBLE DESIRE TO PROMOTE PUBLIC SAFETY DOES NOT SUPERSEDE OR OVERRIDE A PERSON’S RIGHT TO PROMOTE PERSONAL SAFETY THROUGH ARMED SELF-DEFENSE
It took over two hundred years for the U.S. Supreme Court to come down with a ruling stating positively in law what was always plain enough in the language of the Second Amendment—that the right to armed self-defense is an individual right, unconnected with one’s service in a militia. This was the salient ruling in Heller. But, some States chose to ignore this, arguing that Heller applied only to the Federal Government, not to the States.
So, two years later the High Court had to pronounce in the McDonald case that the individual right to armed self-defense applies to the States no less than to the U.S. Government.
But, whether utilizing the Fourteenth Amendment, the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution, or any other section of the Constitution to bring the Second Amendment to bear on the States, the fact remains that the Founders of the Republic understood the Bill of Rights to codify universal laws that apply to all men at all times. The Court applied the language of the Fourteenth Amendment to the right codified in the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights. But was that legal maneuver even necessary?
The application of the Bill of Rights to the Federal Government as doctrinal stems from the concern the framers of the Constitution had—primarily the Antifederalists—over the creation of a powerful Centralized (“Federal”) Government, with its own standing army.
For what would prevent that “STANDING ARMY” from turning against the American people? In a word, “nothing.”
The Founding Fathers took as axiomatic that the natural law right of self-preservation through armed defense was all that was needed to check the power of a tyrannical Government and its standing army. Indeed, was that point made not clear enough in our Nation’s original founding document, “THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.” And, did not a TYRANT across the seas learn how formidable a force a determined armed American Patriot could be when standing his ground against THE TYRANT?
Natural law rights of men were understood well enough by all the Founding Fathers working to hammer out the Nation’s Constitution and, as well, by the States, apart from New York, that for many, a formal bill of rights was thought of as unnecessary.
The Framers of the Nation’s Constitution for their part understood that natural law rights preexist in man, prior to the construction of all nations and governments of men.
Such rights are universal, unalienable, illimitable, unmodifiable, and eternal.
That means NATURAL LAW RIGHTS ARE NOT CREATURES OF GOVERNMENT but are BESTOWED ON AND IN MAN BY THE DIVINE CREATOR.
The Federalists among the Framers of the U.S. Constitution understood the concept of natural law rights well enough no less so than the Antifederalists, but the Federalists felt a written Bill of Rights unnecessary because such a document is tacitly understood and therefore redundant, or otherwise dangerously self-limiting.
Fortunately, the Antifederalists prevailed on this. They insisted on a formal written codification of the most important natural law rights and utilized the Ninth Amendment to address lingering concerns by the Federalists that the Bill of Rights IS NOT SELF-LIMITING.
The common man in America would be in dire straits if the Nation’s TEN PROMINENT AMENDMENTS HAD NOT BEEN SET DOWN IN STONE.
Just imagine, America’s Patriots claiming today a natural law right to armed self-defense, and a natural law right to dissent, and a natural law right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
THE NATION’S FORMAL BILL OF RIGHTS CODIFIYING NATURAL LAW, BEYOND THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT TO TAMPER WITH, ENRAGES PRESENT-DAY WOULD-BE DESTROYERS OF OUR NATION
With the existence of a formal, express Bill of Rights, Political Progressives, and Marxists, taking their cue from inordinately powerful and wealthy Globalists, are compelled to deal with the fact of a TRUE BILL OF RIGHTS BEYOND THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT TO LAWFULLY TAMPER WITH, much as they would prefer to ignore it.
And tamper with the Bill of Rights, these HATERS OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY do happen to do, even though they know their actions are illegal.
Since information is predominantly digital, the Government and its proxies in business, finance, and media routinely and illegally surveil Americans’ private communications and personal thoughts. And they routinely censor information. All of this is inconsistent with both the FIRST AND FOURTH AMENDMENTS.
But the major concern of the GLOBALISTS and of the POLITICAL PROGRESSIVES and outright MARXISTS is the ARMED CITIZENRY.
GUNS AND AMMUNITION—AS PHYSICAL OBJECTS—ARE DIFFICULT “TO TOY WITH.”
The Antifederalists were prescient. Their most pressing concern if the Framers were intent on creating a powerful centralized “FEDERAL GOVERNMENT” was to do place the ultimate FAIL-SAFE in place if that FEDERAL GOVERNMENT would one day—consistent with the nature of ALL GOVERNMENT—turn against its own people.
The Antifederalists, among the Framers, knew that strong centralized Governments have short memories. If natural law rights were not written in stone, such strong Governments would, consistent with the nature of all Governments, one day, having resorted to treachery against their own people, deny that such natural law rights existed.
Our own Federal Government—even with such LIMITED POWERS AND ALL SORTS OF CHECKS AND BALANCES in place could and would, one day, turn against its own people.
That Federal Government would DENY, OUTRIGHT, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ARMED SELF-DEFENSE—THE EXERCISE OF WHICH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAD EFFECTIVELY AND SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT TO BEAR AGAINST THE MOST POWERFUL ADVERSARIES OF THAT TIME—THE MIGHTY ARMY AND NAVY OF THE MONARCHY OF ENGLAND, AND THE ROTHSCHILD CLAN’S BANK OF ENGLAND, THE LATTER OF WHICH FINANCED THE MONARCH’S ESCAPADE AGAINST THE AMERICAN COLONIES.
A treacherous Government would deny that such NATURAL LAW RIGHTS are burnt in the Soul of each man. And, with that amnesia of Government, those treacherous servants of the American people, would argue that it is but through the grace of Government, NOT of God (whose existence they rudely denied), whether Government wishes to bestow those seemingly “natural law” rights on the people or, just as easily, rescind exercise of those rights, once bestowed, or bestow such rights arbitrarily on this one or that one, or forbid bestowing such rights on any of the common people at all.
Many, if not most, Progressives and Marxists, ideologically adhering to Atheism, would deny the notion of natural law rights out of hand. They would deny that such rights are anything more or other than any other law and that all law springs only from the mind of man.
These people would argue that no “right” has the force of law unless a Government of men “creates” those rights, accepts them, and provides a mechanism for their enforcement, which, of necessity, must come from the Government. As they see it, “Rights,” no less than any other law, are man-made constructs that have no separate existence apart from the Government that creates and enforces them.
The Biden Administration has fought this notion of a natural law right to armed self-defense since it took over the Executive Branch of Government in January 2021.
Progressives and Marxists in Congress have worked with that Administration to illegally constrain the exercise of that right.
And a sympathetic Press mouths the arguments and silly, simplistic platitudes of Government, to effectively corral the common man.
While the Federal Government’s attack on the natural law right of the people to keep and bear arms GOES BACK DECADES, New York, for its part, as one of the original thirteen States of the Union, has fought this idea of a natural law right to armed self-defense FOR CENTURIES.
By invoking the “POLICE POWERS OF THE STATE,” and the lie of “PUBLIC SAFETY” TO COMBAT “GUN VIOLENCE,” the New York Government has long taken as axiomatic, the false idea THAT AN ARMED CITIZENRY AND PUBLIC SAFETY ARE LOGICAL OPPOSITES—THAT YOU CAN HAVE ONE OR THE OTHER BUT NOT BOTH.
THE NEW YORK GOVERNMENT CONTINUES WITH THIS: As the police are agents of the State, SO, then, if anyone has the right to carry a firearm, then it is for the police, alone, not the average civilian citizen, to promote this “public safety.” That was the argument made. That is the argument the New York Government still makes.
And THIS ARGUMENT is reflected in STATE CODE that has, through time, grown into an elaborate, monolithic, monstrous regime, that extends through the length and breadth of the Consolidated Laws of New York—well beyond one statutory “Gun Law” enactment recited in the Penal Code of New York.
Thus, the Government of New York has extolled the notion of “PUBLIC SAFETY”—an enforcement power of the State—as a substitute for the individual Right to armed self-defense to secure his “PERSONAL SAFETY.”
The State does not recognize such a right, except grudgingly, due to the express language of the Second Amendment and the rulings of the High Court.
But State enforced “PUBLIC SAFETY,” promoted ostensibly FOR THE “GOOD OF SOCIETY” and the fundamental right of the individual to armed self-defense to secure one’s “PERSONAL SAFETY,” AREN’T logical opposites.
“PUBLIC SAFETY” AND “PERSONAL SAFETY” ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. They are, instead, LOGICAL COMPLEMENTS.
It isn’t, then, the armed citizen—understood as a rational, responsible, law-abiding, hard-working American, the common man, the very person who “MADE AMERICA GREAT,” and can do so “AGAIN”—who poses a threat to public safety.
The threat to public safety comes from the criminal element. But Government never mentions this, nor draws a distinction between actual gun violence caused by criminals and lunatics, and the mere logical possibility of gun violence by anyone else—the average, rational, responsible citizen who simply has a gun in his keeping.
AND THE GOVERNMENT OF NEW YORK, AND SIMILAR PROGRESSIVE AND MARXIST GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY FAIL TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH CRIME AND, ESPECIALLY, WITH CRIMINAL VIOLENCE.
WHY IS THAT?
THIS FAILURE TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH CRIMINAL VIOLENCE SUGGESTS THAT GOVERNMENT ITSELF CHOOSES TO ENABLE CRIMINAL VIOLENCE. THE CRIMINAL HAS BECOME A TACIT AGENT—AN ACTUAL IF UNCONSCIOUS, UNSUSPECTING PROXY OF GOVERNMENT OPPRESSION OF THE COMMON MAN.
The notion of Government’s EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO SECURE THE SAFETY OF THE CITIZENRY, ergo, to provide for Public Safety, is, then, nothing but a lie.
Government does not provide for Public Safety and in its singular attack on the individual’s right to arm himself so as to secure his own personal safety, the Government leaves the common man well-nigh defenseless.
THIS IS ALL BY DESIGN—the better to suppress the possibility of the potential for armed revolt against Government Tyranny as the State slowly corrals the common man both in Mind and Body as THAT TREACHEROUS GOVERNMENT PROCEEDS ON ITS WAY MERRY WAY TOWARD OUTRIGHT TYRANNY.
None of this is stated though. None of this can be stated. Rather than explain the desire to constrain free expression and one’s right to armed self-defense against Government and its minions, the Government OF NEW YORK and similar State Governments create the myth that it cares deeply about providing for the safety and security of the common man, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Since psychopathic criminals and lunatics serve as useful proxies of Government in fomenting calamity and insecurity, the Government seeks to compel the common man to look to the Government for succor from all harm. So, Government does not talk about the threat posed by criminal violence, but only the threat of “Gun Violence” generally, which is but code for the potential threat posed by the common man to the Government itself.
Thus, the very fear of the Nation’s Founding Fathers has come home to roost in Government situated in the United States today—THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT—and many STATE and LOCAL MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS.
On deep reflection, the appeal of the propagandists of Government to end “GUN VIOLENCE,” does nothing to disguise the fact that what they mean is “GUN CONFISCATION”—PLAIN AND SIMPLE—and they look with envious eyes at the easily secured success of the EU and of GREAT BRITAIN and of such major BRITISH COMMONWEALTH NATIONS like NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, and CANADA.
But the EU and CANADA have false and ludicrous simulacrums of a TRUE NATURAL LAW BILL OF RIGHTS, with nothing at all said about an individual natural law right to armed self-defense. And GREAT BRITAIN doesn’t even have a “CODIFIED” CONSTITUTION, much less a Bill of Rights.
And, “[b]ecause New Zealand lacks an identifiable constitutional charter that delineates the scope of constitutional law, the boundaries of New Zealand constitutional law have never been precisely drawn. Constitutional rules may be changed by less formal means than under a written constitution, and the spheres of public and private law are merged rather than separated.” See the article published on New Zealand’s slipshod Governmental structure, posted by The University of Melbourne.
And, Australia’s Constitution is a bizarre document, incomplete, and doesn’t trouble itself to express a right to individual freedom and liberty. See the article posted from “The Conversation,” and a publication of the Parliament of Australia.
And yet the wealthy, powerful GLOBALISTS, and the POLITICAL PROGRESSIVES and MARXISTS emulate the EU and the BRITISH COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES and hold them up as positive examples for the United States to follow in dealing with the Nation’s armed citizenry.
Be that as it may, the best that the DESTROYERS of our FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC are able to do or attempt to do is to frustrate, inhibit, and constrain the EXERCISE of the NATURAL LAW RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS through the use of quasi-legal, pseudo-legal, extrajudicial, and outright illegal Executive, Legislative, and Administrative actions, and through reliance on dubious rulings of some U.S. Courts that ground those rulings on personal opinion and animus, and on personal ideological bent instead of sound legal reasoning and proper jurisprudential considerations.
The aim of these DESTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS AND INFLUENCES in our COUNTRY is to corral and eventually eliminate the armed citizenry—an armed citizenry that never exhibited violence to anyone, yet is presumed by the Government to pose a tenable threat to society itself, i.e., a threat posed by the common man to society, which means the threat posed by the common man to a treacherous Government because of the fact that an armed citizenry, weaned on liberty, won’t long abide, or surrender to, or accept a life of subservience to TYRANNY.
The common man is thereby assaulted by both the criminal element, and by obedient Business, Finance, Social Media, a sympathetic Academia and Press, and complacent, uninformed members of the public to pay homage to “THE NEW LIBERAL INTERNATIONAL RULES-BASED ORDER” that is slowly amassing and exerting firm control over all of WESTERN CIVILIZATION.
Note: the Progressives in control of the Federal Government and many State Governments do nothing to suppress the actions of violent criminals who prey on the common man—often using the very firearms that they would dare confiscate from the average citizen.
Progressives have no desire to incarcerate violent criminals. They refuse to incarcerate them. Indeed, some advocates of Congress propose doing away with prisons altogether. See the article in the New York Post. And the insufferable, hideous Hillary Clinton, calls for “the deprogramming” of Trump supporters, those Americans who hold true to their sacred heritage. See, e.g., the article in “The Wrap,” providing a video presented by CNN. And Biden places a bug in the ear about purported dangerous “MAGA” supporters of Donald Trump. See, e.g., the article in Reuters.
And it so happens that Americans who cherish their heritage, and who profoundly cherish their fundamental, unalienable, natural law rights, especially the right of the people to keep and bear arms happen to include, in great numbers, “MAGA” Americans. Strange that, isn’t it?
But it isn’t these Americans who are a threat to the Republic. They are only a threat to Tyrants. But who is the threat to the Nation? Americans who cherish a free Constitutional Republic and their sacred Rights and Liberties, or an illegitimate Government that has betrayed the American people, in service to our Nation’s enemies?
If CIVIL WAR COMES TO AMERICA, it will be the TYRANT who fires the opening salvo, not the American Patriot. So, naturally, the TYRANT wishes to ban civilian citizen arms and ammunition.
The phrase “GUN VIOLENCE” serves as a useful propaganda tool, a device, a makeweight, to seduce the public into believing that the armed citizen is the gravest threat to the Nation. Yet, the armed citizen isn’t a threat, and never was a threat to the well-being of the Nation.
It is the desire of the armed citizen to protect the Nation in the form for which it was created and upon which the Nation prospered.
Whatever “Gun Violence” that accrues to this society emanates from the Government, either directly or through its agents in Departments, Agencies, and Bureaus that have compromised and betrayed their Oath to the Constitution, and through proxies, such as the criminal element.
Such Violence that is allowed by the criminal element and foreign, international cartels running rampant in this Country is evidence of a Government disposed to Tyranny that seeks to harm and demoralize the public, and to destabilize society. But Government would not care to admit that fact to itself, and much less care to admit that fact to the citizenry.
So, of course, State Governments like New York, do little to nothing to stem criminals from committing “Gun Violence,” or from committing violence using guns or any other implement. This may sound strange to many Americans, and therefore difficult for them to accept this, but this conclusion is difficult to deny as borne out by events.
Still, a certain fear pervades the thought patterns of the “Political Progressive” today, especially those IN Government. But, it isn’t fear of the criminal element whom Government itself and the Progressive elites are protected from, aware that the criminal element, an uncontrollable and unconscious, rabid force could easily turn on Government and on those “Elites” if they are not careful, to take the necessary precautions, unavailable to the average citizen.
It is, then, this average citizen, as the armed citizen, whom Government and the “Elites” perceive as posing the greatest, gravest threat to Government and those in control of it who carefully engineer society, to protect “Democracy”—so they say, even as they tighten the noose on that very thing they proclaim, in their march toward subjugation of the American people.
This direct advocacy of and appeal to “Democracy,” although a new propagandist tool, is grounded on the fear exhibited by all Tyrannical, Totalitarian regimes in Europe, in Asia, and in America. It is an old fear—a natural phobia of THIS, common man.
Hence, FREEDOM AND LIBERTY is a RARE COMMODITY today, no less so today than it was centuries ago. But, for a Country that was ACTUALLY created on “FREEDOM AND LIBERTY” and for a NATION that THRIVED ON IT, it is difficult for the DESTROYERS of IT to make a case against IT, and they must therefore be very careful and circumspect in the language they employ when attacking IT.
Tyranny of Government will not ABIDE BY FREEDOM AND LIBERTY OF THE COMMONALTY and, SO, WILL NOT SUFFER AN ARMED CITIZENRY CREATED FOR JUST THAT PURPOSE TO FIGHT AGAINST TYRANNY THAT WOULD DARE SUPPRESS FREEDOM AND LIBERTY AND OPPRESS THE COMMONALTY.
IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THE TYRANT TO TAMP DOWN FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND FREEDOM OF ACTION, TO FORCE ITS WILL ON THAT OF THE COMMONALTY. AND IT IS THE NATURE OF THE COMMON MAN TO REPEL SUBSERVIENCE TO THE TYRANT, TO DENY TO THE TYRANT THE DESIRE OF THE TYRANT TO FORCE ITS WILL ON THE COMMON MAN.
FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND PERSONAL FORTITUDE AND THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS ARE ALL THAT THE COMMON MAN HAS TO RESIST THREAT TO THE SANCTITY AND INVIOLABILITY OF BODY AND MIND, SOUL AND SPIRIT.
THE TYRANNY AND FREEDOM OF ARE LOGICAL OPPOSITES. THE TYRANT IS DISPOSED TO DESTROY INDIVIDUALITY AND THE DESIRE OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS TO BE INDIVIDUAL.
THE TYRANT AND THE FREE MAN ARE AT LOGGERHEADS WITH EACH OTHER.
FOR THE ONE IMPOSES ITS WILL ON THE CITIZEN AND THE OTHER RESISTS THE ILLEGAL, IMPROVIDENT, AND IMMORAL IMPOSITION OF WILL ON HIM BY DINT OF ARMED FORCE.
All this talk today, in America, by Globalists, Progressives, and Marxists for a need to create more and more “COMMONSENSE GUN LAWS” to fight “GUN VIOLENCE” is really no more than an acknowledgment of Government moving closer to a State of Tyranny and THAT STATE OF TYRANNY cannot, WON’T EVER, abide THE ARMED CITIZENRY.
But the Tyrant cannot express that thought openly—certainly not in America, whose very existence came about by the armed American Patriot whom a Tyrant in England who professed to be nothing other than a Tyrant, aimed to crush.
And here we have, today, a new Tyrant, PROFESSING TO BE ANYTHING BUT A TYRANT, claiming disingenuously to be a strong proponent of this thing they call (but never define) “DEMOCRACY.” That TYRANT means no such thing. He doesn’t even know what he is talking about. But use of the word—recited seemingly convincingly and so often, sure sounds nice—at least to some.
This NEW Tyrant, in the form of INVERTED TOTALITARIANISM, arising in America today, aims, no less, than the OLD OVERT TYRANTS OF THE PAST, existent throughout history—to crush the will of the American Patriot and free citizen today, by denying to him his store of firearm and ammunition, just as the TYRANTS OF THE PAST aimed to do so years, decades, and centuries ago to the populations they ruled.
TYRANNY AND FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY ARE AGE-OLD ENEMIES. They are the most basic of enemies.
Even the best of Governments cannot shed their desire to become treacherous toward their people.
And the people, for their part, must be ever on guard to the reality that TYRANNY is only a hairbreadth away from realization.
THE WORST FEARS OF THE FOUNDERS OF OUR REPUBLIC ARE NOW FULLY UPON US.
The sad irony is the Constitution they created to protect a free Republic from THE TYRANT, proved insufficient for that purpose, but for the BILL OF RIGHTS, and especially, but for the LANGUAGE OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS THAT MADE PLAIN THAT GOVERNMENT SHALL NEVER INFRINGE THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. And the Biden Administration and the Governments of many State Governments are doing just that—BETRAYING A SACRED OATH BETWEEN THOSE WHO SERVE IN GOVERNMENT AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHOSE INTERESTS THESE SERVANTS OF GOVERNMENT ARE SWORN TO SERVE.
The Biden Administration, taking its orders from shadowy forces both here and abroad, that are intent on maintaining a stranglehold on the common man throughout the Country, TOGETHER with the present New York Government, and other State Governments, intent on doing the same for those citizens residing in their respective States, have illustrated, for those who would but see, that Tyranny has come to this Country, and it means to take up permanent residence here.
In the next article we take a look at CUOMO’S SAFE ACT and HOCHUL’S “CONCEALED CARRY IMPROVEMENT ACT.” We point out that the two Acts mirror each other—are part and parcel of the same vision, the same goal.
And, on the issue of recordation of ammunition sales, the recent law is not something new at all, but was planned for and was a component of the SAFE ACT, back in 2013, that never panned out. Hochul is attempting another “go” at it, and she is struggling with implementation of this horrific action just as her predecessor did.
