one of the reasons illegals are being welcomed with open arms is to drive up the crime stats. The 61 people who own half the world’s wealth are scared of our guns.
Do you see a solution to this problem? It’s not a short-term issue of Obama, Hillary, and Bernie being anti-gun while Trump and Cruz say they are pro-gun. It’s a much longer term problem. Restrictions on our natural right to defend ourselves are rarely rolled back in states, nationally, or globally, so this is a multi-generation problem.
The only solution I see has two prongs: fight the immediate political battles with all we have, and teach the net generation. It is not enough merely to keep shooting and to teach our own children to shoot; we’ve been doing that for generations, and we have been losing ground gradually for those generations. It’s not enough to give the other side what they claim to want, when we can work around their restrictions, in the hope that that they will then leave us alone.
1. One of the practical uses of guns (hunting) is nonexistent in an urban environment.
2. Neighbors often live near each other in complete anonymity, so a culture of distrust is often prevalent in an urban area.
3. People who live in an urban environment are already completely dependent upon others -- mainly faceless corporations and government bureaucracy -- for the things they need to live from day to day. It's no big deal for this type of person to willingly surrender more and more of his rights to those corporate and government masters.
While some find immigration the biggest issue facing America, I find preserving the Second Amendment to be the hill to die on. I pick all candidates accordingly and that issue is the only one I will politic for publicly on social media. That is where we will educate the younger generations.
In the book THE WASHING OF THE SPEARS, there is an interesting chapter on early gun control in South Africa.
It was imposed by the British on all blacks who had to turn in their bought and paid for trade muskets for registration. The guns were then confiscated.
When the natives demanded them back, they were returned so damaged they were unusable.
Many of the blacks had worked an entire year to earn their trade musket.
Note: Those muskets were made in Birmingham, England and known as a “Brimingham Gaspipe” They were proofed by pouring water down the bores. If there were no leaks, they passed.
GUN CONTROL FACTS
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
