- Another 'Conversation' On Guns

Carolyn McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, and Barak Obama have spent their whole professional lives doing their level best to prevent law abiding citizens from owning firearms, and now they want another ‘conversation’ on the topic.

OK – here's my part of the conversation.

In my worldview, the right of a person to defend himself from imminent harm is a natural right. That means that it is not subject to moderation or mitigation based on what government decides. If government passes a law declaring it illegal for a person to defend themselves, then in my mind that law is illegal and I will not obey it. When faced with immanent harm I will continue to defend myself, no matter what the law says.

This right is absolutely non negotiable.

100 million homes in the US have firearms in them, and virtually all of those people feel exactly the same way that I do on the issue. That’s where the NRA’s power comes from. They don’t represent the ‘gun manufacturers’ or the military industrial complex, they represent me. I’m the NRA.

There are no circumstances where I will trust the government to decide who should be allowed to exercise their natural rights and who shouldn’t, because there is a clear conflict of interest involved. As is clearly spelled out in the founding documents of our country, it is in the interest of those who run the government to eliminate the ability of the private citizen to defend themselves from tyranny.

Carolyn McCarthy isn’t smart enough to realize this, but Chuck Schumer and Barak Obama absolutely are. And for them I believe it’s the whole point. I believe they are ‘would be’ tyrants, who are deeply uncomfortable with the constraints that an armed populace places on their behavior.

Simpletons like Carolyn McCarthy and the anti-gun lobby, say they’re in favor of ‘gun safety’, but all the recent data says the opposite. By imposing prohibitions on gun ownership for the law abiding citizenry, they have only made them easy targets for criminals. That method, (prohibition of gun ownership for the law abiding) which they continue to endorse, does not work. But regrettably, they are too driven by sentiment and fear to take an honest look at the scientific collected data. They would rather continue to lobby for actions which make Americans less safe, than admit their mistake and change their position.

The Anti-gun lobby is not interested in gun safety; they are only interested in gun elimination. And since that’s so, they’ve been a useful tool to would be tyrants. And that means that this new ‘conversation on guns’ is not new at all – it’s just more of the same. It’s another ‘discussion’ about how the law abiding citizens can have their natural rights restricted by people who have no interest in keeping them safe.

So I’ll say it again – My right to self defense is a natural right, and is absolutely non-negotiable. And until the gun prohibition lobby or the would be tyrants change their minds, further discussion of the issue is pointless.
