Quote of the Day
So far we’ve had two countries come to the stark realization that they simply cannot arm an otherwise largely disarmed populace fast enough to effectively deal with invaders.
Yet “gun control” cultists here still want to repeat those same mistakes. They’re incapable of learning.

The primary point is probably valid. But I believe the gun control cultists want invaders and anything else which will bring down our country. Gun control is just a symptom of a much bigger agenda.
The lesson they will/have learned from the Ukraine and Israel is that disarmament of U.S. private citizens is a good first step.
The lesson the general population needs to learn is that private citizens need unincumbered access to military arms.
“Yet “gun control” cultists here still want to repeat those same mistakes. They’re incapable of learning.”
No not at all. These aren’t mistakes to them. It is part and parcel of the plan. They are communists and want desperately to act out their ISIS style fantasies. That’s how they get the pat on the head they crave.
We fail to understand in the west just who truly is the enemy. Or that were even in a war.
We see war as what we see in Gaza or Ukraine. But fail to see the one that’s been waged against us for the last 50 years or better.
Israel lost a 1,000 people. We lost a 110,000 to drugs in a year shipped here by someone that has openly claimed to want to conquer us.
Hamas took hostages. How many girls are kidnapped off our streets and treated little better by cartels?
Ya, disarming victims is not a mistake in their book. It’s just prudent planning. They want you dead. We need to start taking them seriously.
Were the one’s not learning the lesson.
Citizen disarmament is not the socialist end goal. It’s just a step along the way.
They’re prioritizing disarmament because they have further policies they want to implement that would motivate the citizenry to shoot them.
Similarly with Universal Healthcare. The end goal is not to efficiently provide a good level of healthcare service at a reasonable societal cost. When has government ever done something more economically, at the level of service provided, than the private sector? No, the point of universal healthcare is to give the people in power the ability to not provide healthcare when it suits their purposes. You need only review incidents in the UK and Canada to see the truth of that.
The police of Sir Robert Peel’s Principles as an advantage to all of society, particularly when they adhere to the Seventh: “To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.” The police as enforcers of the will of the city counsel and mayor’s office are a recipe for Chicago-style corruption and oppression. As we’ve seen in Baltimore, Chicago, LA, Seattle, etc, the socialist version of policing is to exercise police powers where it is convenient for the powerful, and withdraw it where it is contrary to their agenda.
Where your life and the life of your loved ones is concerned, you cannot afford for government to have a monopoly. Do not let government control your food or water supply. Do not let government have control of your energy supply. Do not let government be your sole recourse to resist criminality; be your own first responder with a gun of your own. Do not let government get between you and the doctor willing to treat you. Do not let government have a veto over your housing. Do not let government interfere in your ability to trade with other willing people at mutually agreeable terms. For better or worse, do not let government control your information sources, and always assume that what they say is self-serving to their purposes, even if it happens to be true in that moment, which is in no way guaranteed. We have seen in very recent history that every one of these principles has been violated by the government of allegedly “free” and “just” countries, to the advantage of the government bureaucracies and elected figureheads, and always to the detriment of the people they intend to rule.
How true. It’s easy to see an external threat and gun up to repel invaders. When the invaders are already resident, it’s harder – particularly when they are the ones making the laws.
The militia is always the first line of defense. When seconds count, the police are minutes away and the military is hours away.
“The police as enforcers of the will of the city counsel and mayor’s office are a recipe for Chicago-style corruption and oppression.”
Never forget that police are the armed agents of government and that paychecks and pensions dictate their behavior. And, until control of those paychecks and pensions is wrested from bureaucrats who have no interest in you except as a source of funding for their wishes and desires, you are not only very much on your own, but at severe risk from the involvement of government agents, especially armed agents protected by government policy.
“… you are not only very much on your own, but at severe risk from the involvement of government agents, especially armed agents protected by government policy.”
When the cops were “peace officers” instead of “law enforcers” it was generally not dangerous or costly to intentionally deal with them to handle problems. Now, it has become a definite potential hazard to call for help. It’s not uncommon to have them show up and kill or injure people on the scene, for various and sundry reasons. You have to realize that their “looking for law breakers or trouble” mental radar is always on and searching. Always.
A big problem with cops is that they quickly develop the mental mode of placing everyone they meet into two, and only two, categories. “Victim or perpetrator”. The first person they talk to is automatically put into the “victim” file, in most cases. So, you want to be the first person who calls 911, or the first in line to talk to them at an accident or incident situation.
Don’t be polite, if you have to leave footprints on the back of the other guy to get there first, go for it. Getting them to move you into another mental file tends to be a hopeless case. Not an exaggeration how set in concrete their thinking is in this regard.
