Governments that disarm the people have troubling history.
When considering gun controls, a nation must first acknowledge that this world is, by definition, broken. It’s a given evil will erupt from time to time, no matter what anyone does to prevent it. It’s just where and when it will happen that is most often unforeseeable.
Once that is agreed upon, perhaps we can also further agree that, when evil does erupt – whether the threat is personal or national – the last thing any of us should want is for us to have allowed our government to have removed our ability to defend ourselves against it.
Consider Hitler. He took away guns in Germany in the 1930s and in every country he conquered thereafter, particularly from (those) “disfavored” by his government. In the words of Heinrich Himmler, “Ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as having guns doesn’t serve the State.”
“In 1933, the ultimate extremist group, led by Adolf Hitler, seized power and used the (gun registration) records (of the former Weimer government) to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. …” (“How the Nazis Used Gun Control,” by Stephen P. Halbrook, National Review, Dec. 2, 2013.)
At minimum, the foregoing should highlight that, from the perspective of some governments’ like Hitler’s, the operative word in “gun control” is control.
Such control as that which allowed the Nazis, i.e. German government, in the 1940s to deport millions of people on trains to destinations like Auschwitz from every country over which Hitler’s “government,” i.e. tyranny, took control…. These were people who knew … they were destined to die – people who should have resisted, but didn’t in part because they had been disarmed.

And what happens when we disarm the police?
Mask-wearing protestors terrorize New York subway riders, vandalize stations, scream at police
Here come the mask wearing anarchists again.
A Twitter post from a group called “Decolonize This Place” threatened to fuck shit up” on the subway system in New York City the other day.
“We encourage you to link up with your friends, your family, and think of the ways you can move in affinity to fuck shit up on J-31 all day long,” a masked man ways in the video posted on the Twitter page, which is organizing demonstrations. The goals of the group include “no cops in the MTA, free transit [and] no harassment,” the video says. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez must be so proud.
This my friends is what anarchy looks like, and Democrats across the country do not seem to have an issue with it.
Protesters strung a black banner with the words “Fuck your $2.75. Fare strike today,” from the Oculus at the World Trade Center station, as shown in a video posted by the group.
People were heard clapping and cheering as the banner was unfurled. Glad they were able to escape mommy’s basement to cheer on their comrades. Emergency exits were chained in subway stations to allow people to pass through fare-free, while some MetroCard readers were covered in Gorilla glue.
The 72nd Street B and C train station on the Upper West side was painted with graffiti earlier in the morning—including many of the anarchist groups catch phrases tagged on the walls and display screens. One said, “Free transit.”
My father used to have sayings about just about everything. If he saw something like this I'm sure his response to it would be that 'these are guys that obviously never got hit by their fathers or got their asses kicked in the schoolyard.' Boy ain't THAT the truth.

From the 'Holy shit I can't believe that shit' department comes this tidbit:
John Kerry overheard discussing possible 2020 bid amid concern of 'Sanders taking down the Democratic Party'
John Kerry once poked fun at Trump’s weight, asking if he could see Trump's ‘Girth Certificate’
Former Secretary of State John Kerry — one of Joe Biden's highest-profile endorsers (and most certainly one of, if not the biggest, fucking dooshtools on the planet) — was overheard Sunday on the phone at a Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid "the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole."
Sitting in the lobby restaurant of the Renaissance Savery hotel, Kerry was overheard by an NBC News analyst saying "maybe I'm fucking deluding myself here" and explaining that to run, he'd have to step down from the board of Bank of America and give up his ability to make paid speeches. Kerry said donors like venture capitalist Doug Hickey would have to "raise a couple of million," adding that such donors "now have the reality of Bernie."

If you somehow didn't notice, yesterday was 02/02/2020 - they're calling it 'World Palindrome Day'. The last one was 909 years ago
At just after 2 a.m., it was 02:02:20 on 02/02/2020.
There won't be another eight-digit palindrome day for 101 years.
The next numerical palindrome after then will be March 3, 3030.

A guy here in The Villages has been “trending” nationwide on the news and on Social media after an anti-Trump stance here in Florida’s Friendliest Hometown.
Ed McGinty, a well-known anti-Trump protester, was the subject of a story last week in Villages-News.com after he found a threatening note on the front door of his Village of Hadley home.
Undeterred by the threat, McGinty took his signs and golf cart to a grassy area on Odell Circle and continued his protest against the commander in chief. The protests continued while the impeachment hearings were being watched in living rooms across Florida’s Friendliest Hometown.
The story about McGinty, which first appeared in Villages-News.com, was picked up by the Orlando media and the Tampa Bay Times. And then McGinty became a star on Twitter. His admirers on Twitter have called him everything from a “hero” to “one brave dude.” Another fan begged, “Put #EdMcGinty on the ballot, please.”
The guy's a complete asshole and one of these days he's gonna get his ass kicked seriously.

Kerry is a POS and a disgrace to this nation. He continues to violate the Hatch Act by discussing policy with Iran. He, Shillary and Obummer tried to give Iran the means to destroy our allies in the region. He got shrapnel in his ass, literally, in Vietnam after he was told by the Chief to stay on the boat. I would have told Doc to patch it up and keep his mouth shut but that asshat got 2 purple hearts for it after greatly exaggerating the event. President Trump would destroy him in the general election. OK I will get off my soapbox now.
ReplyDeleteSorry-ass excuse for a Naval Officer. His first Division CPO didn't raise him right.
DeleteOne thing that cheers me up is that Wednesday is going to be a very bad day for McGintiy.
