Thanks to Canon 212, I came across this very interesting article regarding the insane progressive push to hamstring our abilities to defend ourselves: from threats against our persons, our communities and our nation. The call-out sentence sums things up quite well; "A fearless citizen with the will and means to defend himself is a threat to left-wing bureaucrats who want to boss him around". That is why New York City is hell-bent on prosecuting for murder that shop-keeper who defended himself against someone who might have murdered him. That is why they are all having snit-fits after the Supreme Court ruled that we do not have to "show cause" for exercising our right to bear arms.
Let me say a word now to friends who may be wishy-washy regarding the Second Amendment, thinking that it's the government's job to protect us. The Supreme Court ruled in 1948 that such was not the case, although modern progressives lie through their teeth to pretend that it is. Consider that the United States Constitution puts constraints on the government so that it does not unjustly deprive innocent people of the right to life, hearkening back to the Declaration of Independence that stated that God endowed us with that right. With the passage of abortion laws, governments at all levels in this country arrogated from God the prerogative to deprive innocents of their lives. In so doing, they assume tyrannical personas. So many pro-life people realize, even if only instinctively, that they have no recourse but to rely on their Second Amendment rights to defend ourselves against governmental tyranny, if it should come to that. To do so, we must have the means adequate to meet modern threats.
Let's take a look at the death penalty (again). I've written much on that over the years. Here is a link that detail why the clamor to end the death penalty is its own sin. Please read them. I will post below tonight's episode of the Anchor Team. In it, Michael and Alyssa Hichborn mention that the clamor to end the death penalty might be a manifestation of the progressive attempt to dispel belief in hell. I wonder if the progressives' attempt to dispel the Just War theory might be a way to dispel belief in the incompatibility of good versus evil.
Uvalde police did not protect the children as they were being murdered. The Government will not find malfeasence and certainly not cowardice for a reason. The killer of Kate Steinle has been found not guilty regardless of the fact that the criminal did shoot her. Her death will go unpunished for a reason. The Jan 6th protesters rot in jail awaiting a show trial while Ashely Babbit's shooting goes unpunished and likely rewarded covertly for a reason. The reason is to showcase that the citizen is nothing as compared to the state. The state will only support the citzen's right to murder themselves via abortion or euthanasia - for the state views itself as permanant and the citizen is disposable.
