Why gun control is bad for America?
There is widespread belief that, when most Americans are strongly supportive of new gun control legislation because of the atrocities at Sandy Hook, yet still appears unlikely to pass in Congress, we have a failure of the democratic process.
But there are multiple reasons why new gun control will not become the law of the land but also why the country is far better off without and should not have more gun control.
First, there are the traditional Constitutional questions that revolved around the 2nd amendment. While some experts maintain that it was added because of the need for a citizen militia that could defend the nation in times of need and therefore does not support ownership of a wide range of weapons, the Supreme Court has supported a broader interpretation of the law as a fundamental right of American citizens.
Second, there is a disconnect between the alleged cause (the events of Sandy Hook) and the proposed solution (passage of strict control of assault weapons). The weapons Adam Lanza is alleged to have used were lawfully obtained by his mother in accord with Connecticut laws, where the restrictive legislation that has been proposed would not have affected his access to them. They don’t solve the problem.
Indeed, while Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has become obsessive in her pursuit of new legislation, a far more rational response has come from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who has implied he will filibuster new proposals (as he did with drone legislation) and has said to Obama, “Call me if any of your reforms would’ve saved those kids at Sandy Hook”. While the GOP and NRA have been accused of politicizing the situation, the weight of the evidence actually falls on the other side.
Third, there are good reasons to believe Sandy Hook was a staged event and did not take place as federal, state and local officials have claimed. Had 20 children been shot in their classroom, then swarms of EMTs and ambulances would have been expected on the scene to rush them to hospitals for qualified physicians to determine whether they were dead or alive and treated them. They were instead left in place in the building and removed in darkness and complete secrecy.
It is reminiscent of the alleged crash of a Boeing 757 at Shanksville, PA, which allegedly disappeared into the soft ground because it had been a mining area. One version even had the plane disappearing into an abandoned mine shaft. But we know what to do with miners who are trapped in mine shafts. We break out the bright lights and the heavy equipment and dig, 24/7, in the hope that by some miracle someone might have survived. But that didn’t happen at Shanksville. even to recover the bodies that were allegedly entombed in the plane.
That makes no sense if either of these events had taken place as advertised. The government counts on the gullibility of the American people to believe what we are told, not matter how preposterous. The national networks all reported that the body of the accused had been found with only handguns in the vicinity, where the assault weapon–which has been used to justify this push for new legislation–was left in the trunk of the car he had driven to the school. The networks had even confirmed their report with federal, state and local authorities.
Indeed, the Social Security Death Index even shows Adam Lanza having died on the 13th of December, when the shooting took place on the 14th. James Tracy and I are not the only ones to have taken a look at Sandy Hook and concluded that a huge scam and gun control “psy op” is taking place, but an ”inside insider” who has served in five administrations, Steve Pieczenik, declared during a widely broadcast radio show that Sandy Hook was a hoax and no children died there.
Fourth, a subcommittee of the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Intelligence issued a finding on October 3rd that it had studied 680 “fusion center” reports from 2009 to 2010 (where fusion centers merge federal, state and local anti-terrorism efforts) and that those reports had revealed no evidence of any domestic terrorist acts or activities, which makes it very reasonable-given the size of the sample-that there is no or virtually no “domestic terrorist activity”.
Fifth, this makes it all the more disturbing DHS has acquired more than 1.5 billion rounds of .40 caliber hollow-point ammunition, which is not even permissible in combat under the Hague Treaty of 1899. And since DHS has no foreign commitments, it is not rocket science to conclude that this enormous stock of ammo must be for use in the US against the American public. Astonishingly, DHS has refused to reply to questions from members of Congress about what’s going on.
As though that were not disturbing enough, DHS has also acquired 2,700 light tanks suitable for urban warfare, 7,000 assault weapons of the very kind new legislation would constrict, and has made special arrangements to use mortuaries and funeral homes in case there were to be massive civilian casualties that overwhelmed emergency medical facilities and hospitals in the case of an “unexpected event”.
Sixth, having offered courses in logic, critical thinking and scientific reasoning for 35 years, this new move for gun control illustrates the common fallacy known as “popular sentiments”, where beliefs that are widely held are therefore assumed to be true. But the rush for gun control appears to be designed to weaken our ability to resist the imposition of control by force of arms over the American people. The only obstacle to tyranny is 100,000,000 armed United States citizens.
The rationale for the 2nd amendment appears to apply here. We are in a of time of need for a citizen militia that might defend this nation from domestic tyranny, not because of any “domestic terrorists” of the kind we have been warned against but from our own Department of Homeland Security. That new gun control legislation will not pass is a good thing, because we need have all the ability that we can muster to resist the tyranny of enemies, who are not foreign, but domestic.
