President Obama again wants to use the latest
terror attacks, this time in San Bernardino, California, to weaken the Second
Amendment. You can be sure that, if he thought he could get away with it, he
would do away with the most vital of Amendment’s by executive fiat/decree. Some
in the mainstream media have said that guns are the one constant in all the
recent terror attacks, but that is patently untrue.
The one constant is Islam. Radical
Islamists using car-bombs, I.E.D.’s, machine guns, pipe-bombs... or knives and
machetes for their signature beheadings.
Look at the history of American
gun ownership. When nearly everyone was armed in our formative years….there
were no mass shootings of innocents, other than at Lexington and Concord. We
could not have won the Revolutionary War and thrown off tyrannical government
if nearly every able-bodied male didn’t own a firearm. Period. One had to have
a firearm to protect oneself and one’s family from wild animals and others who
would do them harm, as well as to put food on the table, of course. In frontier
times and on into the early twentieth century in rural areas, some kids brought
their guns to school! That’s a fact. The result? No school shootings, no terrorism.
In more modern times, the
enacting of conceal-carry laws in some states has had a dramatic affect on
crime, just not the affect that liberals- predictably- predicted.
In 1993, there were seven
homicides by firearm for every 100,000 Americans. By 2013, that figure had
fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 per 100,000. This decline directly correlated
with an enormous increase in privately owned firearms over the same period of
time and the related increase in the granting of concealed-carry permits to
law-abiding citizens.
Liberals are always keen to know
why people do bad things or why bad things “happen.” In this case, there are reasons. (Liberals default position
is that anyone who is successful or makes money or is in any way in a majority
is the reason for others committing terroristic, evil acts. This couldn’t be
farther from the truth).
These horrible atrocities are
occurring so frequently now because of, 1) the rise of radical Islam, 2) the
rapid coarsening of our culture, with violence and depravity as entertainment
pervading our television and movies, internet and video ‘games,’ 3) the
similarly rapid decline in the numbers of those who are practicing Christianity
and 4) the feminization and infantilization of our culture, leading to large
numbers of people who no longer even believe in fighting for their own cultures' survival, and are willing to accommodate evil, if by doing so the heady light of intellectual and moral martyrdom shines upon them.
