New York Times’ ‘Faux Conservative’ Columnist: “I have never understood the conservative fetish for the Second Amendment.”
Yes this is an actual New York Times editorial by a supposed conservative: “Repeal the Second Amendment” Calling to repeal the second amendment is to say that the American people are not sovereign and the Revolutionary War should never have been fought. It’s a rejection of the most fundamental principles of our nation. A reminder from Freedom Outpost:Today’s politicians are magnifying the crimes they are placed in office to prevent. They allow crime to be promoted through entertainment and when the crime is committed, they are there in hopes to grab the guns away. This is exactly how criminals in government operate. They demonize the gun, not the criminal. This mentality is like blaming spoons and forks for making people fat, as if to say the act is apart from the actor. Since corrupt politicians refuse to look at history, which can be at the present our greatest teacher, it is very clear that gun banners know exactly what they are attempting to do -– put the Second Amendment in the crosshairs. Looking back, who has committed murder in the largest degree? Dictators Adolf Hilter, Mao Tze Tung, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, etc. Time and time again it has been a corrupt government who is responsible for the mass murder of their own people under the deceptive guise of “gun control,” all of which the said dictators implemented. Keep in mind these people promised their citizens protection and freedom upon the forfeiture of their guns. How many times, I ask, does history need to repeat itself? Paralleling History Let’s parallel history with the present ideology and methodology that those in the past blueprinted to implement gun control. Adolf Hitler at a dinner talk on April 11, 1942 said:“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country.” Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. Joseph Stalin, the sole leader of the Soviet Union from 1924 to 1953, said:“If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.” In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Mao Tze Tung, communist dictator of China said:“War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.” China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Idi Amin, president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979, said:“I do not want to be controlled by any superpower. I myself consider myself the most powerful figure in the world, and that is why I do not let any superpower control me.” Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Pol Pot, who created in Cambodia one of the 20th century’s most brutal and radical regimes, was responsible for killing one million of his own ‘educated,’ yet unarmed citizens.Conclusion:Our forefathers did not arm the American people for the purpose of hunting, but rather to protect themselves from those who were doing the hunting, namely the tyrant King George. The second amendment is only to vouchsafe our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and to ensure all of the other rights given unto us by our Creator. The wisdom of the framers of the Constitution once again is found consistent with the lessons of the Bible they used as their bedrock for civil law. The people’s individual protection should always be a primary concern of government “of the people”. In a righteous country, self-government reigns by the constraint of Christian morals. The civil government that desires such a monopoly of force (i.e. they are the only ones with guns) is a threat to the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens, for that government ceases to be “of and for the people.” George Washington, our first president, said:“From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good.”
