Every argument against personal arms is dismissed with such facility I am convinced vociferants are sock puppets, incapable of reason, and reduced to control by psychological manipulations by malevolent parties.
As critical as I undertake to be I am unable to refute any assertion you make above. The contrast between reasonable understanding and intellectual subjugation is marked. I am left to note that evolution continues to constrain reproductive success to individuals competent to surmount the challenges of given environments. It is necessary for free people to secure their society, and we must grant to them intent on subjugation that dependence that renders them utterly incapable of survival, as it is their sovereign right to choose their fate.
However, that recognition of their liberty to enslave themselves cannot be conflated with the toleration of any assault on our own liberty, and that ilk asserting their desire to be hapless insists on inflicting that condition on everyone, lacking the tolerance justice affords them. They can choose for them, but not for us. The affliction free people suffer today is supported by that willing herd, but is intolerable to free men, and therein lies the rub. That segment of society is wielded like a club to oppress others, and that engenders conflict, being the drawing of first blood.
We cannot ignore our extremity, yet cannot simply lash out, but must honorably and justly effect our necessary security. I submit that personal arms are not the optimal modern technologically available means whereby that is accomplished. You well note that muskets aren't the state of the military arts today, and the same is true of chemically propelled slugs of metal.
Our war is best waged on the appropriate battlefield, which is the crux of your post. It is our essential communications and intellectual capacity that fundamentally underlies our rights and humanity. The pen is mightier than the sword. Today our pens write in leagues, and this is the power our enemies most oppose and that we most depend on for our freedom.
By whatever means necessary, we must prevent losing our freedom of speech, and the judgment of the corrupt and fallible courts that a business card is a machine gun must be rescinded and overturned. Our freedom cannot long survive such insanity and obvious elimination of our rights, and essential humanity.
Thanks!
There is a fundamental difference between asserting a natural right based on individual human action, homesteading, voluntary exchange, free association and autonomy on one hand; and claiming a right to feel a certain way in order to justify violating others, or claiming a right to the dregs from political plunder. The media and government schools have colluded (unintentionally, probably, for the most part) with the political class (very deliberately otheir part) cloud the minds of generations of Americans, encouraging them to be irrational subjects instead of deliberate, rational, independent people.
I agree that there are inalienable rights, and then there's power to do what you want, which people with armed gangs of thugs at their disposal have instead of rights. I also agree that the abysmal educational system is a crime against humanity. I'll let the jurists sort whether it's aggravated or not by malice, as long as they do undertake to sort it.
Sometimes I think those people doing these things don't understand that due process is preferable to guillotines.
