Equality in all things but rights

An interesting title no? I was just pondering an idea about the idea of equality. Often, the opponents of the Second Amendment liken keeping and bearing arms to that of driving a car. They erroneously try to compare a God given right to that of a state sanctioned privilege. They say things like, you have to pass a test to get your license to drive and you have to register your car and there are speed limits you must adhere to so it limits the kind of car you can have. Therefore you should have all those restrictions on the Second Amendment as well. Well, thats just bull. That is as much apples to oranges as one can hear. Let’s go with an apples to apples comparison and just imagine how the majority of gun control zealots would react. Lets treat the First Amendment, specifically the right to free...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

While talking to a Californian friend of mine we began talking about Californian regulations and laws. Regulations that hurt small businesses, laws that infringe upon personal freedoms, rules that drive people to emigrate to freer states and commonwealths. I used to believe that gun control advocates were just misguided souls who falsely believe that trading essential liberty for temporary security is a worthy endeavor. That their intentions were pure, that they wanted less gun violence in the world. I used to entertain the idea that knee jerk reactions in calling for gun control to tragedies was just a process in which otherwise good people dealt with trying to assimilate something so terrible. While I think that some people who naively support gun control measures are actually following that ideology, I have come to believe that the majority of the gun control advocates and activists are really just freedom hating...

Gun Control is like a force field…but life isn’t a movie

If you have ever watched Science Fiction movies; Star Trek, Dune, Independence Day etc. you are familiar with the concept of force fields. They are the often invisible barriers that keep out dangerous things, be they attacks from weapons, smaller ships looking to infiltrate an area or just random space debris so the hull of your space ship doesn’t get ripped open. I like to compare gun control to these force fields, along the same lines that I compare them to a child hiding under their blanket so the boogeyman won’t do them harm. Force Fields are not real, they are an illusion of make believe and to put trust in a fictional construct to keep us safe from real danger is like that child hiding under their blanket when an actual predator is in the room. I often times hear that gun control measures are to keep people...

New Year, old fight

Looking back on 2012, I lament the fact that the predictions that I made have come to pass. The most dangerous is no doubt that Barack Obama is an out of the closet, rabid gun control zealot. To all those Obama gun owners who had the gall to tell me that Obama was a supporter of the Second Amendment because he signed a bill that was necessary for his agenda that just happened to have a last minute National Parks Carry amendment attached; I TOLD YOU SO. And even before my blog, Gun Owners of America has been telling you for the past four years. Not fearing re-election, Obama’s true intent on the utter destruction of the peoples right to bear arms has been revealed. Fortunately for him and his other gun control ghouls, he even has some political cover because some madman in Connecticut stole some weapons and went...
