I have been searching through some old files looking for pertinent things to start adding on to here, and came across This! As best I recall I wrote it somewhere between 7-10 years ago…
Earlier today I got in to… we’ll call it a ‘discussion’… that started with a post concerning how ‘stupid’ we were for not supporting gun-owner registration… It wound-up with my being told that I proved the point for keeping guns away from crazy people and that I needed ‘counseling’… I’m not going to post the other comments, but I’m betting that most of you can ‘read-between-the-lines’ as to what I was arguing against… In the end, when the other’s comments became even More… uhhh… personal… I said, “It’s Always amazing how, when an argument can’t be won the name-calling begins,” and tried to just stop… To which the other person kept at it for another hour-or-so, never realizing how it made ‘them’ look! :>)
I had posted these three ‘comments’ separately, but am reposting them together so as to be easier to read… What to YOU think?
Part 1…
Have None of you ever read George Orwell’s ‘1984’? Back then we were Watching for it, and refused to let any of it happen!! Today, it’s like y’all have taken it and used all of the evil in it as a blueprint to change this country/world into… I just Don’t get it… This country was Established on Freedom… and Now we have members of ‘society’/government who seem bent on removing/destroying ALL of those Freedoms! Recent ‘memos’ & warnings to the military & law enforcement have listed ‘Fundamental Christians’ as the ‘greatest threat’ to the government because we acknowledge a ‘Higher Power’. (Islamic terrorists are not even ON that list!) I REALLY hope that is True… and when the time comes, I Pray that God gives me the chance to PROVE IT!!!”
Part 2…
“First of all, the ‘solution’ to violence is NOT in any kind of gun control, but in education! And I’m not talking about the pre-programmed, propaganda-based ‘education’ we have in this country today… We have built how-many generations, now, of little automatons who are totally unable to think and/or act for themselves… But That is another story… What I’m talking is having removed ALL concepts of ‘good-&-evil’… First, we’re being indoctrinated that any thing we do ‘wrong’ is Not Our Fault! … Then, from removing Religion from the schools to all of the graphic tv, movies, and video games we’re presented with, ‘Death’ is no longer a reality… I mean, all you have to do is rewind or hit the reset button! If a person is programmed to kill, that person will Find a weapon of Some kind to do it with!!! So, registering guns will have absolutely NO effect on controlling that type of violence!! NONE of which has a Direct correlation to the Constitution! What DOES ‘effect’ the Constitution is when MY rights as an individual are usurped and I become a piece of data in some giant database! The government now has complete access to my whereabouts 24/7, via the GPS in my phone, they are Fully aware of every word that I type on this and Other sites (I have had the FBI and other agencies follow the web blog of my sermons and articles!), they know my bank accounts, my credit cards, my voting record, etc., etc., etc… How can you have read 1984 and NOT recognize Big Brother?!? And we have been lax enough to allow it this far… I choose to allow it NO FURTHER!!!”
Part 3…
“First, how does registering a gun prevent Anyone from being killed? I say again, If someone wants to kill someone else, they will find a way… and Bombs can be built with ‘stuff’ from under most sinks!! I have Never, as yet, owned a gun… I do not like hunting, and never saw the need for one! I Do, however, know very well how to Use one! The point of the Second Amendment has Nothing to do with hunting, and actually very little about guns, as such… The whole point of the Second Amendment is that WE the people can defend ourselves from a government intent on over-powering it’s population! When the DHS comes to arrest me for being a Christian, my bow-and-arrow will be no match for their Fully-automatic weapons! The Second Amendment INSISTS that the people be allowed to be as well armed as the government… It is ONLY in this way that You, Your family, Your friends, Your community, as well as mine, can defend ourselves from an oppressive government gone wrong! I don’t care about the robber down the street, or even the murderer two blocks over… I’ve managed to protect myself and my loved ones from them for 60 years now without a gun!! But when my money is being stolen from me by my own government and given to terrorist groups… when I’m being Forced to participate in illegal medical schemes… when I begin to live in fear for my very life, NOT because of some ‘murderer’ or ‘thief’ who might live in this town, but from my own government… and all because of my belief in God… Then, YES, I want… nee’, NEED… something to fight back with! And the Second Amendment GUARANTEES me… and YOU… that Right!!”
