James O’Keefe recently released an undercover video in
which Jason Beck, a Department of Defense employee, asserts that firearms owners
should have their guns confiscated. By force. By the National Guard.
Constitution? What Constitution?
Individual rights? Pshaw!
The DoD employee casually
noted that he “would like to do
some work on the state’s monopoly on violence.” When asked what state’s
monopoly on violence meant he replied, “It’s the idea that the state, meaning
the country, uh, is the only sort of legitimate purveyor of violence…” Anyone
else feel a chill?
Speaking of that pesky Second
Amendment’s protection of firearm ownership, Beck stated: “I think we should
repeal it and take them all away. You have to take them.”
He then implied that the National
Guard would need to be employed, and that those in it would have to follow
“lawfully given orders.” Except that the order to ignore the Second Amendment
and forcefully take private property from law-abiding citizens could not be
a “lawfully given order.”
Oh, and our military is supposed to
protect us, not take our possessions and leave us defenseless.
Beck also spoke of another favorite
Democrat idea, packing the Court, saying “We need the majority on the Court so
that they can’t stop” any potential legislation to disarm the American
populace.
This is anything but trivial. This
hits at the heart of society and whether the people need fear the government or
vice versa.
Disarming the citizenry is the
hallmark of totalitarian rule. It is one of the first steps in enslaving a
people. It goes hand-in-hand with one party rule, censorship, and “re-education
camps.” If the people put up with this, they deserve to be treated like
livestock.
The state is the only legitimate
purveyor of violence? Yeah, like the Third Reich, the Soviet Union,
Imperial Japan, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, and mullah-led Iran?
