This is a working theme of mine. The laws are irrational. So who would work to enforce irrational laws? Irrational people, or people who either by nature, or occupational adaptation turn off independent thought and become bureaucratic automatons.
So, you have some place in America where, I suppose, some sort of special uber citizen has guns and can defend himself and property just fine. Then for some reason, New Yorkers are mentally, morally, or physically not able to do this, and laws have been implemented to protect them from themselves.
How the NYPD recruits from this weird population, with this weird gun disease, and then by some magic makes them gun capable, escapes me.
Of course the above is all bunk, and up until the rise of leftist, Marxist era Progressives, just before the turn of the 1900’s, New Yorker had plenty of guns, and were, by order of magnitude a much poorer population, from all over of different ‘cultures’ and with out the modern ID’s and every other clutter of the modern security bureaucracy.
So, we have irrational politicians, making irrational laws, that you must either be irrational or mentally shut down to enforce.
And, this is good exactly how?
My pro-gun argument tends to hinge upon evidence (No.. PROOF) that firearm ownership, appropriate and easily available training as well as issue-awareness CREATES a better citizen.
Never before have I been more aware of the world of defense, laws, morality and good-manners as I had after being given basic NRA approved firearms training. It’s made me a nicer person. And still, some of the nicest people can be found at gun stores and shooting ranges.
