National Life Without Guns Is a Beautiful Thing, Isn't It?

Psychology Undermined Western Civilization
Vietnam was all right. No problem. So was the covert war in Nicaragua
and El Salvador. Ditto for Iraq I and II and Afghanistan. All necessary
and proper and good. Lives destroyed? Who cares?
The US government's
possession of weapons and their use? Well, of course they needed
all those weapons. How else could the wars be fought?
Guns in hands
of government are a completely different issue than guns in the
hands of citizens. You do see that, don't you? Government knows
what to do with guns. Kill people. Lots of people. Citizens with
guns are clueless and have to be dealt with..
US-government
24/7 surveillance of every US citizen? Again, no problem. No indication
of bad intent at all. It's just protection against terrorism.
So you see,
the whole rationale for the 2nd Amendment that Americans
need to protect themselves against a tyrannical central government
goes right out the window.
That was easy.
And in case
you're wondering why our commander-in-chief doesn't pinpoint the
areas of the country where the major gun violence is taking place,
since he wants to reduce that violence, it's because he doesn't
wish to offend anyone. He's merely being polite. An admirable quality.
Don't worry
your pretty little head about it.
Now, recently
we've seen children suspended and expelled from school, and we've
seen a school lockdown or two, because of the presence of a Nerf
gun or a gun made out of fingers or the word "pow." This
makes perfect sense.
We all know
imaginary guns are the gateway drug to real guns and real guns are
a guarantee of death. So nip the situation in the bud. Eliminate
all thoughts of guns. Slap the fingers of the finger guns.
This program
of taking away imaginary guns proves our government is mentally
acute. Another sign we can trust them and ignore the core purpose
of the 2nd Amendment.
This next point
is so heinous I hesitate to bring it up. But I must. It's been suggested
that if the federal government mandates all its vaccines for every
citizen, and eliminates all exemptions, people will need to defend
themselves and their families against government agents showing
up at their homes with guns and syringes.
Preposterous,
because no one has the right to his own body. You have no right
to say what the government should put in your body. The government
is allied with science, and science knows best.
So when the
government says "take this vaccine," you say "how
many times?"
It's simple.
Fear not.
And when, up
the road, you or your children find out Obamacare is really designed
to exclude alternative/natural choices, and you have to take the
drugs government doctors are prescribing, don't sweat it.
Those natural
alternatives are all hocus pocus and voodoo. The real cures are
pharmaceuticals. The government is looking out for you. You won't
need a gun to fend off a government employee. He's highly educated.
He knows drugs.
You can only
doubt the intentions of government if you're paranoid. That's a
mental disorder, and it automatically disqualifies you from owning
a weapon. So you're good there. Just get treatment.
As everybody
understands, this government has been bought and sold so many times
it's gone broke. But that's just something that happens in business.
Nothing to get bothered about. There'll be new money, and you'll
get your share. Taxes might be higher, but so what? You're paying
for protection. If you need to understand that concept, just watch
Godfather 1 again: shop owners were smart enough to realize owning
a gun wouldn't be a good move against four goombahs coming through
the door to collect their cut every week.
Have you noticed
the trend toward micro apartments? It's wonderful. People in cities
are moving into 200-ft.-square residences in new buildings. You
can turn around twice in these places. That's plenty.
The agenda
involves crowding more people into cities, so they can be controlled
more easily, because out in the country, they get strange ideas.
You don't want strange ideas floating around in your head. So don't
go pretending the government has some sinister plan. It's just straight
control.
After all,
what do you expect the agenda of a government to be, when it has
to rule 300 million people all at once? Freedom? Please. That's
laughable.
And if you're
under control, what need do you have for a gun? You're already in
thrall, just where you want to be.
If the government
is taking care of you (and it is), are you going to draw your gun?
That would be just plain crazy.
On the other
hand, government officials, celebrities, and rich people do need
protection. There are all sorts of crazies out there. So let the
elites have guns and armed security guards. They need them. You
don't. They don't want guns, it's just something they have to put
up with. If Diane Feinstein whacks some whacko, more power to her.
Now we come
to black and Latino people who live in high-crime areas. We hear
several pernicious myths about their circumstances. One, the police
in those neighborhoods practice illegal brutality. Two, the police
don't bother entering the neighborhoods at all. And three, the streets
aren't safe, because gangs are everywhere.
The myths are
obviously absurd. The residents of these areas only need to have
a well-shielded bulletproof room in their homes, in case some drug
addict breaks in. Call the police, hunker down in the safe room
for a few hours, and things will be taken care of. What's the problem?
In schools,
the chances are slim anything untoward will happen. Teachers certainly
don't need guns. They just need training in communication skills,
so they can talk a shooter down, if he ever shows up.
Ditto for churches,
parks, and athletic fields.
Relax and just
let things happen. Go with the flow.
It's like chemo.
Let me explain. Everybody knows that chemo causes cancer and wrecks
the immune system. And then you die. But if you die, it was your
time. Your number came up.
So it is on
the street, in a church, or a park. If a shooter enters the scene
and blows a few dozen people away, it was fate. It was meant to
be. The idea that people in a park would be armed and able to put
down a killer is, well, frightening. Suppose they shoot themselves
instead, or hurt an animal? That would create a sense of panic.
Whereas, we
know a mass killer is there to kill people. So when that happens,
it's just part of the weave of life.
I think I've
covered enough bases to make you see you don't need a gun. Nobody
does. We all have our roles. Policemen protect you, killers kill
you, and you steadfastly remain calm. And unarmed.
Accept it.
If you have
to hunt or shoot skeet, use a bow and arrow, or a rubber band and
a paper clip.
Listen, if
you're a schmuck, be a schmuck. Right?
If you need
something to do, watch the latest government war on television.
Just knowing a war is going on should give you sufficient vicarious
pleasure. Somewhere, people are killing and people are dying. But
you're at peace.
And if you
have any leftover anxiety you just can't quell with drugs, take
heart. Scientists are studying the DNA of Adam Lanza. When they
discover the genetic flaw that caused him to commit mass murder,
the government will be able to institute a universal program to
alter the population.
In other words,
violence won't be an option anymore. No one will feel the urge to
kill or do harm. Isn't that what we want?
Whoever answers
no to that question is surely deranged and should be forced to undergo
the genetic change immediately.
Can you picture
the near future? People all over America out for a stroll, moving
through any and all neighborhoods without fear of danger. People
everywhere smiling and saying, "Howdy, neighbor!" "Howdy
neighbor!"
Who could possibly
be against that?
