Dear Friends,
It seems to me, those who advocate for gun control, don’t do it to stop violence, but to establish control. Even a cursory glance at the other positions deeply held by gun control advocates shows they have little regard for human life. Do a Venn diagram, with the center group as gun control advocates, and that circle would largely overlap with pro abortionists, transsexual manipulators, would be despots and know it alls. No sane person can argue that someone who supports the slaughter of millions of babies is someone who has a high regard for human life. Moreover, the arrogance of those who would disarm their fellows, in the face of human history, are either stupid beyond reckoning… else diabolical beyond imagining.
Gun control advocates say that if guns were not available there would be no gun crime. Which in a naive way makes perfect sense. Of course it ignores the fact that drugs are illegal and people get them, gun crime is greatest in the cities in the US with the greatest gun restrictions, guns are totally illegal in the nations on Earth with the highest violent death rates, Europe where guns are strictly controlled as is speech is seeing a rise in bombings and shootings, etc… all these facts are lost on the know it alls who demand we disarm, before those who have a history of mass slaughter… because, it’s for the children. In the inner cities where gun crime is out of control, the people committing it are barred from owning guns at all. Australia has seen a rise in general violent crime since it outlawed guns.
Which is to utterly ignore the elephant in the room of violent deaths, that most people murdered in the last two centuries, have been killed by their own governments. The number dwarfs that of gun violence by the hoi polloi, (less than 40 million in the 20th century). From the French Revolution on, every government that sought to rationally order society, the economy and people, has been the spring for rivers of blood. The stories of the guillotine in Eighteenth Century France are as poignant and informative as they are unread. After the Young Turks committed genocide against the Armenians, sometimes ripping babies from the bellies of pregnant women in front of the fathers, to get them to convert, Stalin exterminated the Kulaks and tried mightily to liquidate the Ukrainians. Hitler copied and exterminated the Gypsies and six million Jews.
Since then genocide has become a general practice. Mao’s artificial famines and the Great Leap Forward killed around forty five million people. Pol Pot attempted to eradicate the capitalist gene from Cambodia. The Tutsies were slaughtered largely by machete. Obama started ISIS that led to the genocide of the Yazidis and Christians in Iraq and Syria. So you see, the possibility of being killed by a random attacker is nill, compared to the possibility of being killed in some mass slaughter, by an unlimited government. In every case, the victims were disarmed before, sometimes long before their extermination. So they couldn’t fight back. Yet, despite the undeniable weight of human history, gun control advocates are willing to put all our eggs in that same failed basket.
The scandal at Rotherham England shows the utter uselessness of the police where the elite support the crimes. Children were being abducted and raped by organized gangs. If the fathers knew where their daughters were being held, raped and sold into slavery, and reported it, the police would arrest the fathers. That couldn’t happen where the fathers were armed. Only where the fathers are disarmed can our daughters be taken off the street, abetted by the police, government bureaucracy and elite, to be raped into submission and sold into a life of prostitution. Now, some people might say that such violence perpetrated against innocent girls should be stopped, that genocide should be prevented, that artificial famines should be actively fought… but not gun control advocates. They trust the government.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
