Kurt Hofan believes that If armed resistance to tyranny is 'un-American,' America has died

St. Louis gun rights: "Stanley Fish, professor of (in?)humanities and law, wrote an op-ed for the New York Times Monday speculating that perhaps the NRA is 'un-American.' Not all NRA members, mind you--not the recreational shooters, or those who believe that the Second Amendment protects the right of self-defense (although Fish describes himself as 'deeply unpersuaded' by that argument). So to whom does he refer? Only the 'militant' members, and most of the leadership. Let's have him explain who the 'militants' are:

'I mean those who read the Second Amendment as proclaiming the right of citizens to resist the tyranny of their own government, that is, of the government that issued and ratified the Constitution in the first place.'"

Michelle Obama Endorses the States Monopoly on Violence in a Message to Chicago

Michelle Obama Endorses the States Monopoly on Violence in a Message to Chicago: Of course there is the alternate collectivist narrative in which Stefan Molyneux correctly observers: That if a person claims they are non-violent and are for “gun control” they are not truly anti-gun nor are they non-violent people - because the reality is that guns and violence will be needed to disarm innocent law abiding people.

Those people who claim they are anti-gun and anti-violence who claim to support “gun control” will need the credible threat of police violence and the police’s guns to take away other people’s guns should they resist the attempt to centralize violence.

So those who claim to be anti-gun and anti-violence are really very pro-gun and very pro-violence. They ultimately believe that only government officials (which are of course portrayed as reliable, honest, moral, and virtuous) should be allowed to have guns. This obviously flies in the face of reality as the 20th century’s genocides at the hands of government has proven once and for all.

It’s important to note that those who advocate this type of centralized monopoly of violence do so as cowards, because it’s not their lives on the line, rather they advocate others using violence on their behalf in order to force their misguided views on innocents.

There is no such thing as gun control, there is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small, political class and the forces they control, which as recent history has proven a murderous nightmare for the peace loving, disenfranchised, and disarmed citizenry.

A typical collectivist rational with lethal consequences.

The Truth Leads People to Stand Against Gun Laws and Regulation

John Lott gives us something to think about as he asks: "Is the drop in support for gun control since shortly after Newtown due to memories fading or that people learn more about the legislation? The media and Democrats always claim it is the former, but it isn't obvious how they can be certain about that. Note for example how Democrats in New York and elsewhere feel the need to push through regulations before people even have a chance to read the legislation. They seem to fear people being able to read the gun control bills. From CBS News:"

Democratic lawmaker apologizes for suggesting women afraid of rape can't be trusted with guns

Democratic lawmaker apologizes for suggesting women afraid of rape can't be trusted with guns: The true misogynists are those who would disarm women--men like democrat Joe Salazar here, who was arguing in favor of disarming college students in Colorado. Salazar said Friday on the Colorado House floor that women fearing rape may suddenly and haphazardly ’pop a round at somebody.’

‘It’s why we have call boxes; it’s why we have safe zones; it’s why we have the whistles — because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody,’ Salazar said."

We Keep Our Semi-Automatic Assault Rifles To Defend Ourselves Against Rahm Emanuel And Any Other Politician Attempting to "Beat Us Into Submission"

I really don't care for Rahm Emanuel. Rahm and his pal Michael Bloomberg are both out doing everything they can to personally benefit from the massacre of 21 children at Newtown as evidenced by Rahm Emanuel's latest broadside reported by the Chicago Sun-Times: 

He’s pushing gun-control legislation at the federal, state and local level, while also launching an aggressive national campaign to beat into submission companies that make and sell assault weapons.

His latest is a call for U.S. mayors to sever ties with companies that manufacture or sell assault weapons, pitching the idea at a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington over inauguration weekend. He has asked the city’s five pension funds and sister agencies like the CTA to do the same. Two funds already have moved to divest.

Then, on Thursday, Emanuel contacted two major banks that provide lines of credit to two gun manufacturers, urging them to “use their influence” to get the companies to support President Obama’s gun-control agenda.

So to be perfectly clear... the reason we keep military style assault weapons with large magazine clips is to defend ourselves from tin-pot fascists like Rahm Emanuel, Michael Bloomberg, Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer who will attempt to "beat us into submission".

Molon Labe.

Obama Goes Nuts and OffersAnti-gunners Wish List

Surrounded by child-props, Barack Obama yesterday proposed a semi-automatic ban so extreme that it could potentially outlaw up to 50% of all long guns in circulation and up to 80% of all handguns.   

 

Originally, Obama's allies had announced they would reintroduce the 1994 ban on commonly-owned, defensive firearms.  That was until they found out that they would look like fools, since that semi-auto ban was largely the law of Connecticut on the day the Newtown shooting occurred -- and didn't cover Adam Lanza's AR-15.  After that, gun grabbers just kept adding more and more guns until they would register (or ban) a huge percentage of the defensive guns in existence.

 

So where are we now?
