The Central Planning Solution to Evil (Guns or the Tyranny of the Police State?)

We are not a violent society. We are a society sheltered from violence. No one in Rwanda spends time wondering what kind of man would murder people. They probably live next door to him. If your neighborhood is diverse enough, you might be unfortunate enough to live next door to war criminals all the way from Eastern Europe to Africa.

Guns are how we misspell evil. Guns are how we avoid talking about the ugly realities of human nature while building sandcastles on the shores of utopia.

It's not about the fear of what one motivated maniac can do in a crowded place, but about the precariousness of liberal social control that the killing sprees imply.

The gun issue is about solving individual evil through central planning in a shelter big enough for everyone. A Gun Free Zone where everyone is a target and tries to live under the illusion that they aren't. A society where everyone is drawing peace signs on colored notepaper while waiting under their desks for the bomb to fall.

That brand of control isn't authority, it's authority in panic mode believing that if it imposes total zero tolerance control then there will be no more shootings. And every time the dumb paradigm is blown to bits with another shotgun, then the rush is on to reinforce it with more total zero control tolerance.

Zero tolerance for the Second Amendment makes sense. If you ban all guns, except for those in the hands of the 708,000 police officers, some of the 1.5 million members of the armed forces, the security guards at armored cars and banks, the bodyguards of celebrities who call for gun control, and any of the other people who need a gun to do their job,

Outstanding article about human nature, evil, government, tyranny and the police state. People refuse to acknowledge that evil exists in the world so we continue to suffer the results of it.

Very good read. Will forward it to friends.

Excellent treatise on the base nature of the human condition, both as regards violence and authoritarian control methods. Good posting!!

I thought the article was absolutely brilliant! Also confirms my tagline and my thoughts on the “ObamaNation!”

Here is a list of mass killings stopped by armed citizens before they became “critical”:

Many will claim that these incidents do not exist, or try to define them out of existence by saying that if a planned mass killing is stopped before it becomes a mass killing, then it was not a mass killing. Therefore a mass killing was not stopped.
