An Armed Citizenry Is A Free Citizenry, Which Is Why Liberals Want You Disarmed
Townhall.com ^ | March 18, 2019 | Kurt Schlichter

Kentucky recently became the 16th state to amend its laws to get rid of onerous restrictions on healthy, law-abiding adults bearing arms, conforming its concealed weapons statutes to the Constitution and irritating liberals who prefer that we citizens remain helpless sheep. Some of us channel the Founders and believe it is every eligible citizen’s duty to own the kind of guns liberals label “assault weapons” in order to be able to personally protect themselves, their families, their communities and their Constitution; others just want the option of carrying a .38 at a house of worship or elsewhere in public where evil might manifest. But liberals oppose this natural right. Why? Well, there are only two kinds of people who object to Normal Americans being able to protect their lives and freedom, felons and aspiring tyrants, and it just so happens both of them are key constituencies of the Democrat Party.

The trend in most states is to “shall issue” concealed weapons permits, with a third of the states tossing out even those useless obstacles to free citizens exercising their personal choice when it comes to packing heat. In 2019, Second Amendment is evolving right, with society increasingly recognizing that this essential freedom should not be arbitrarily restricted. Liberals should be all aboard. Remember how liberals keep telling us that our conception of rights is supposed to take changes in society into account? We always hear how the Constitution must evolve when it’s a fake right that Democrats like, as opposed to one that’s actually written in the Bill of Rights. Well, the overwhelming trend lately is for legislatures and governors across the country to democratically enact gun freedom measures, so we need to ask our liberal friends, “Where’s your ‘living Constitution’ now?”

For some reason, gun-grabbing liberals seem to think that the existence of people who want to shoot random civilians should make us want to be less able to defend ourselves. Uh, no. The horrifying New Zealand terrorist attack would usually have drawn universal attacks by liberals on law-abiding Americans and their rights. On the upside, the dishonest and disgraceful slander of fellow Americans that usually accompanies these events was comparatively muted, perhaps because this loser (who should die anonymously, his videos unviewed, his manifesto unread, and his name unspoken) was so transparently attempting to provide everyone with fodder to hate their political opponents. To rile liberals, he mixed in references to Trump and Candace Owens; to outrage us Normals, he embraced leftism and environmental wackoism. It was a scam to set us at each other’s throats. The proper response to this creep’s crude manipulation is to not pretend that he was motivated by anything other than resentment over his own manifest inadequacies and failures. To hang this idiot’s acts on one’s political opponents for cheesy short-term rhetorical advantage is to play his game; instead, we should come together in the hope that the Kiwis hang that idiot.

But, of course, some leading liberal lights and their gimps could not resist. Fredocon Max Boot blamed Trump for the killing of many Muslims, which is weird because supporting every war in the last two decades that killed Muslims is Max’s jam. Shannon Watts, the Annette Benning of American Beauty of American liberal fascism, gave Mike Bloomberg his money’s worth on Twitter. AOC could not resist *checks notes, shakes head*  attacking people for praying for those massacred while praying. Boy, the bloom is sure coming off the rose of that celebutwerp. It’s convenient that she has such a big mouth because she’s always sticking her foot in it. Oh, and Dick Blumenthal (D-Da Nang) had to pipe up too, blaming Trump, but we need to be compassionate and take into account how he suffers from PTSD from not going to Vietnam.

Democrats recently slid a “common sense” gun grab bill through the House that would not have actually prevented any of the massacres we have seen over the years, but would have made you a felon for lending your neighbor a .22. They were also annoyed at an amendment requiring ICE be informed whenever an illegal alien tried to buy a gun, which is a great demonstration of their real objective. It’s not to stop violence, because we Normals are not violent without legitimate cause. It’s to stop us Normals from having a veto over leftist excesses. 

Their goal is to slowly chip away at our gun rights until we wake up one day without our weapons living in Great Britain West, where the cops focus on busting dissenting subjects for mean tweets while Normal people can’t walk the streets without getting stabbed or splashed by acid by thugs who know damn well their victims are defenseless. It’s interesting to note that the UK’s ruling class, having been instructed by the voters to leave the EU, have so far declined to do so. And when the referendum is ignored, what will the British people do about it? Nothing. They’ve already submitted. They gave up their guns because civilized people don’t need guns, don’t you know? Of course, when the ruling class tries to sell you “civilization” what they are really peddling is submission. It’s a sad irony, since our recognition of the natural right of the people to keep and bear arms derived from the same right recognized in England during its Age of Testosterone.

Cede a monopoly of force within society to the elite and those wonderful, competent and honest folks will totally respect you and work on your behalf. Also, here’s a profitable high-speed rail line from Bakersfield to Fresno I’ll sell you cheap. Just don’t look at the Russiagate soft coup behind the mirror! The fact is that an armed citizenry is a true backstop to tyranny, an obstacle to total control over society by a small elite that seeks unbridled power. Will we ever have to use it? We hope not, but think of it as a fire extinguisher for fascism – better to have it lying around than not to have it when you need it.

This, along with the joy of rubbing your noses in the fact that they can strip you of the dignity that comes with being a citizen and not a subject, is the real reason the urban coastal left is so hellbent on taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans and leaving guns in the hands of people they control. Remember, the left is pro-guns. It’s just anti-you having guns too.

The existence of murderous creeps, combined with a rising crime rate and the media beaming us scenes of oppression in Venezuela, where those dummies compounded their foolishness in electing socialists by allowing themselves to be disarmed, reinforce the imperative of American citizens remaining armed and unruly. I write about an America split apart into red and blue nations in my novels People’s RepublicIndian Country and Wildfire, and in my novels one of the main reasons the country splits apart is an attempt by the left to disarm Normal Americans in an effort to ensure its permanent hegemony. My books are fiction, but every day I get messages from readers pointing out how my predictions of liberal perfidy that seemed outrageous when I typed them are coming true. If the left wants chaos, an attempt to disarm us is the way to get it. We will never back down from our absolute and Creator-given right to defend our lives and freedom because disarmed, we stop being free citizens and become neutered serfs. And we’re not cool with that.

Freedom is necessary for spiritual growth as if someone else is holding your will, it is not available for you to surrender to God.

Thus they are anti religion too.

I agree with you on most everything you stated ,

" If the left wants chaos, an attempt to disarm us is the way to get it. We will never back down from our absolute and Creator-given right to defend our lives and freedom because disarmed, we stop being free citizens and become neutered serfs. And we’re not cool with that."

As another FReeper put it quite well: They want to take your guns so they can do things to you they couldn’t do if you had them.

Funny, I have been saying this very thing for a decade or more. America will eventually split and the left can have the top half the bottom half, the left half or the right half. No need to worry about it because in twenty years we Americans will buy all the lefts land back for just pennies on the dollar. I always said this tongue and cheek but in reality I felt we were actually on that path. Today I'm convinced we are still on the same road with no exit in site. There is simply no way to coexist with one group of people who hate the other and want to control every aspect of the others lives in including life and death itself. To answer rodney kings question. No We can't.

You know, the leftist/socialist V’zuela’s don’t actually hate guns,’cause Maduro and his military/police force, who are V’zuelans all have ‘em. Right?

Leftists/socialists suffer from Dunning/Kruger and they’re never, ever going to get it through their steel-reinforced, kevlar-coated, armor-protected, EMP-proofed thick skulls!

Our God given rights and our guns are our only insurance against tyranny!

Thank you for your great post. May I recommend to my fellow patriots the video “The Fight of Our Lives - Defeating the Ideological War Against the West” from Emet Productions. I have the dvd, but I hear it may be avail on Amazon Prime for streaming. I urge you all to get and watch this...it features some exceptional minds who tell it like it is. If your kids are open to it, get them to watch it. I’ve not seen anything as competent, well written or complete. Warning: it is difficult to watch, because it helps one understand how bad things really are now...I couldn’t watch it all the way thru in one sitting.

We are obligated to provide for our families which includes protection,

1 Timothy 5:8
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Another aspect is that it's easier to get unarmed people to quietly submit to oppression, under threats of violence.

Antifa is far less likely to violently attack people, if they are CCW'ing in a state with strong self-defense laws.
