What a world that conveys! Ah, > democracy, the Great Insulator: it enables you to commit crimes without > exposing yourself to physical or moral payback. You can impose your will > on others at gunpoint -- which is rape, and also politics -- but without > having to dirty your precious palm with an actual gun, not to mention risk > actually getting hurt. > > Our society calls this "citizenship." I name it cowardice and hypocrisy. > > Let's get real: what you want is for mercenaries -- paid in part by > wealth looted from gun owners -- to do your bidding by disarming us at > gunpoint: kicking down our doors, stomping our pets to death, killing us > and our families if we resist complying with your desires. That's about > the size of it, isn't it, Mr. Democracy? > > Because we will _not_ flop onto our backs and let you stick it in. The > gun owners of America will not disarm themselves. If you want our guns you > must come and take them. > > I take for granted that you won't try this yourself: that would be > exposing yourself to harm. And it would be, rest assured. > > Instead you'll send hirelings. Or should we perhaps call them > scapegoats? For you imagine they can absorb your sins -- including the > additional sin of exposing others to risks you're too craven to take > yourself -- and leave you pure and safe and infinitely holier than Neil or > Vin or I or scum of our ilk. > > We will not be disarmed peaceably. It is illegal. It is immoral. > Ultimately it would be fatal. For if we are disarmed, our property and > lives become entirely dependent upon the judgement and humanity of those > who rule us. > > For some reason this puts me irresistibly in mind of the "medical" > experiments carried out in Nazi concentration camps. That's what happens > when humans are placed irremovably under the control of others. When the > minions of the benevolent State can act without any fear of consequences. > > Don't imagine it's any different here. You obviously believe there are > evil, slavering, kill-crazy freaks in the world -- it's how you see us gun > owners, no? It's how Charles "Julius Streicher" Schumer and Morris > "Goebbels" Dees portray us. Are you absolutely confident that _no one_ who > resembles your vision of us will ever occupy a position of power in your > disarmed America? > > Dream on. > > Consider Waco. Passing up opportunities to capture David Koresh on his > frequent and predictable solo trips out of Mt. Carmel, declining an > invitation from Koresh to come out and inspect his guns, BATF deliberately > chose to stage a firefight at a church filled with women and children -- > the flashier and bloodier, the better the media play. They were willing to > kill kids for appropriations. > > Maybe you're still in denial over Waco. Maybe you think it's all "right > wing anti-government hate;" the pro-government hate groups certainly want > you to believe that. So maybe you're a good German and accept what you're > told. > > But I challenge you: look into a mirror. Look into your soul. Do you > _really_ want the men who made the plans, sent the troops, or pulled the > triggers at the Seventh Day Adventist Church outside Waco to have absolute > power over you? Would you like for the confessed felon from the FBI who > destroyed an internal critique of the Bureau's handling of Ruby Ridge -- > for fear that the man they had set out to destroy every bit as thoroughly > might be able to use it to ensure himself a fair trial -- to have the power > to poke his finger against your name on a computer screen and say, "This > one dies"? _That's the power you want to give him._ > > Think it'll never come to that? You're probably right. Let's say you > win: your mercenaries disarm us. _Then what?_ You have the votes, and the > warm fuzzy sense of accomplishment. > > They have the guns. > > In which case you're _slaves_, mother******. As we are, so shall you > be. You shall know the feel of a suppressed MP5 muzzle in your ear and a > jackboot's **** up your ***. That's the price of being conquered, always. > > Though you will have raped us, plundered us, enslaved us, and killed us > by proxy, by proxy we will have our vengeance. Through the agency of your > own myrmidons. Your hash will be settled long before you have to worry > about Michael Kahoe or Larry Potts in charge of the Bureau of Population > Reduction. > > Yes, the world is becoming more "democratic." It's also filling up with > strife. Your democracy is upheld by bayonets -- like all political power. > The brute truth we see around the globe -- from Somalia, where US and UN > troops disarmed the common folk and left them to be butchered in thousands > by bandits, to central Africa where megamurder is brewing fresh, to Kabul > where over a million unarmed citizens cower in shadows praying for > deliverance from a few thousand religious cranks with Kalashnikovs, and > that their deliverers don't exact a greater price than Taliban -- is this: > only those with guns _count_. The rest are livestock. > > So hear my warning: fear the wrath to come. > > And it's not even _ours._ We'll never hurt you, unless testosterone > poisoning actually induces you to get off your futon and try to grab our > guns yourself. And we both know that won't happen. > > You are bringing on a civil war. _You_ are, because of your sick need > to dominate, because you cannot bear to let others live who are different > from you. You will not like the results. > > Because if civil war does come, you'd best hope we win. That's > specifically we libertarian types; in the society we'd build, you would be > perfectly free to spew your anti-gun hate: only if you tried to put your > ideas into effect would you be at risk -- like any violent criminal. If the > populists or conservatives dominate -- well, you'll just have to go along > with whatever they want, because they have the guns and you have your self- > righteousness, and guess which wins. > > But above all things pray _your_ side doesn't win. Because then you'll > learn the hideous truth: your selfless servitors, those ninja-clad > upholders of democracy, are really Jeffrey Dahmer with a Black & Decker, > and you're an Asian teen. > >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >Unsub info - send e-mail to majordomo@majordomo.pobox.com, with >"unsubscribe liberty-and-justice" in the body (not the subject) >Liberty-and-Justice list-owner is Mike Goldman <whig@pobox.com> > > ======================================================================== Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. : Counselor at Law, federal witness email: [address in tool bar] : Eudora Pro 3.0.1 on Intel 586 CPU web site: http://www.supremelaw.com : library & law school registration ship to: c/o 2509 N.
