Authoritarians confiscate guns. Why? Because gun rights are the linchpin protecting citizens from loss of all rights.
Modern history provides troubling proof that loss of liberty is preceded by disarmament of citizens. This week, the most obvious example is right before our eyes as we watch the Cuban people pleading for freedom.
Fidel Castro took control of Cuba in 1959 and immediately called for removing all guns from citizens. His new communist regime sent agents door to door to coerce citizens into turning over their firearms. If you think it could not happen here, recall the confiscation of thousands of home-defense firearms during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Local and “imported” law enforcement officers from outside states went door to door to take firearms from U.S. citizens at a time when the citizens needed them most.
Totalitarianism and gun confiscation are always intertwined. An excellent article by author Jose Nino called “A Brief History of Repressive Regimes and Their Gun Laws” provides important research regarding this pattern.
Nino outlines the recent example in Venezuela:
The day of reckoning came when Venezuela banned the sale of firearms and ammo in 2012, under the guise of fighting crime. Despite the gun ban in place, crime rates continue to skyrocket.
Our “leaders” announcing they are not prosecuting “small crimes” anymore.
Murderers being released with no bail (after the third murder).
Police being attacked and killed while the killers are being worshipped.
Entire blocks of cities burning (including police stations) and our “leaders” yawn and make excuses.
Criminals so emboldened they just walk into stores, take what they like (by the armful) and just walk out, knowing the police aren’t coming and if anyone DOES try to stop them, it’s “racism”.
WHO THINKS THIS IS GOING TO GET ANY BETTER?????????????
You sheep can profess all the love you want for these ghetto animals, but they will still rob and kill you when it comes to YOUR TURN.
Better have some guns and ammo and know how to use them because it IS NOT going to get any better.
They will run rampant (want spend a weekend in Baltimore, Chicago, or Philly?
Right…
Entropy. Racing through civilization like wildfire through the Western forests.
Keep cheering.
