It may come as a surprise to many to learn that I didn't kill John F.
Kennedy in November of 1963. I have an alibi and witnesses -- well,
one witness, anyway. At the time, I was hundreds of miles away from
Dallas' Dealy Plaza, in my last-period junior biology class at
Choctawhatchee High School near Fort Walton Beach in Okaloosa County,
Florida. My witness is my high school girlfriend, with whom I am
still more or less in touch via the internet.
Likewise, I did not kill Robert F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King,
although I was convicted by the media and punished by the Democratic
Party for both murders. So were you, despite the fact that there are
questions still to be answered about the deaths of King and Bobby,
and nobody has a clue who killed Jack. The '68 Gun Control Act got
hung around our necks like a rotting albatross where it remains today
with other dead fowl like the "cop-killer bullet ban", the "ugly gun
and magazines that look like penises ban", and the Brady Bill,
brought to us by the great guys and gals at the RNC, "Brady Bill-Bob"
Dole, Prop.
Every one of America's 70 million gun owners has been treated, over
the past 35 years, as if he or she personally peered through the
cross-haired glass of that Mannlicher-Carcano (or the Mauser that
apparently really did the job) and squeezed the trigger. Over the
past 35 years, every one of us has been made to feel more and more
like a criminal, skulking along inside the dusty darkness of
society's wainscotting, for nothing more than the act of exercising
and defending our natural right -- the right of every man, woman, and
child -- to obtain, own, and carry weapons.
We all know the facts. Several million times a year, people
successfully defend their lives, their property, and their rights
using guns. Most of the time, it isn't even necessary to fire them.
I've displayed a weapon in this way three times in my life and didn't
pull the trigger, although I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
At the same time -- stripping away morally and legally justified
shootings, as well as suicides (the exercise of another basic human
right no matter what a prosecutor-stacked jury says) -- a few
thousand times a year people are killed by other people using guns.
The majority of my readers will see the point immediately, but
so-called liberals have trouble thinking clearly, so I'll explain it
as best I can. Look at the numbers (documentation on request):
several million lives saved; a few thousand lives lost.
Until now, maybe you were ignorant, maybe that's even an excuse. But
from this moment, we'll all know exactly what you are. If you're
willing to pass a law that sacrifices several million lives to a
few thousand, you're either insane or a fascist monster.
If you support any form of gun control -- let's call it what it really
is, victim disarmament -- you're insane or you're a monster.
Maybe both.
I've had it to here with so-called liberals sticking their fingers in
their ears and chanting, "I'm not listening to Gary Kleck! I'm not
listening to John Lott!" The Littleton murders could easily have been
prevented -- by adhering to the letter of the highest law of the land
-- and it's the fault of these thumbsucking, bedwetting, infantile
evaders of objective reality that they weren't.
But there's another point that most of us in the freedom movement
don't seem to have considered. Leaders of the other side -- the
slavery movement -- know the facts, too. Parasitic vermin like Sarah
Brady, Bill Clinton, Charles Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Chris Dodd,
Barney Frank, Frank Lautenberg, Carolyn McCarthy, and Diana DeGette
command legions of flunkies -- you pay their salaries -- to catalog
those facts so they can be twisted to serve the slavers' agenda.
Allow me to repeat: victim disarmers know the truth, too. They can't
not know the truth. But why would they pass
laws sacrificing millions of lives on the shopworn and thoroughly
discredited claim that it might save a few thousand?
Brady, Clinton, Schumer, Feinstein, Dodd, Frank, Lautenberg,
McCarthy, and DeGette all know the truth. But they promote a
murderous lie. Are they stupid? As much fun as it would be to believe
it, they wouldn't be where they are -- their drinking straws deep in
the carotid arteries of the productive class -- if they were stupid.
No, it's we who've been stupid.
Ever look at what else these creatures vote for?
Would even one of them vote against raising taxes to 100 percent and
putting every American on welfare? Would any one object to America's
streets being policed by blue bereted UN thugs? Would any one resist
a campaign to outlaw private, freestanding homes and force everyone
into Utopian "arcologies"? Would any one oppose making owning an
automobile -- except for their own limousines, -- or refusing to use
mass transit a crime? Would any one speak out against forcible
implantation of transponders under our skin so we can all be traced
and tracked constantly? Would any one of them resign over the passage
of a law declaring our children to be government property?
Why do I have to ask these questions? Do you have an instant's doubt?
I know what they are. You know what they are. They know what they
are. They're the aspiring slave-holders of the 21st century.
At this moment, more Americans own guns than at any other time in
history; crime has begun falling at an unprecedented rate. Brady,
Clinton, Schumer, Feinstein, Dodd, Frank, Lautenberg, McCarthy, and
DeGette would like you to believe it's their gun laws and other
wholesale violations of the Bill of Rights that caused this drop in
crime, but we know better -- and so do they. Everything they brag
about has been tried before -- there were 20,000 gun laws already in
place when Clinton took office -- and it's all failed utterly.
What's different this time? For liberals who didn't get it, check the
previous paragraph: more Americans own guns than at any other time in
history and as John Lott tells us, "More Guns, Less Crime".
Brady, Clinton, Schumer, Feinstein, Dodd, Frank, Lautenberg,
McCarthy, and DeGette don't want less crime. Less crime means less
need for government, fewer excuses to violate our rights and steal
the fruits of our labor. Worse, people capable of defending
themselves against criminals are capable of defending themselves
against government. Very hard on the slavers' agenda.
What do Brady, Clinton, Schumer, Feinstein, Dodd, Frank, Lautenberg,
McCarthy, and DeGette want? Gun owners are the largest, most easily
identifiable group of self-sufficient individuals. Self-sufficient
individuals threaten their slavers' aspirations. Self-sufficient
individuals must be eliminated and the best way to is to sacrifice
millions of them, claiming it will save thousands.
What do would-be slave-holders want? Clinton, Schumer, Feinstein,
Dodd, Frank, Lautenberg, McCarthy, and DeGette want you dead.
They want you dead.
They want you dead.
