A relative is a retired law enforcement officer, who worked on international borders with multiple three-letter agencies, stopping human trafficking and drug smuggling (and more). He would completely agree with what this individual has written, based on intensive experience with a part of the world that most of us do not contact in our daily lives (or not consciously, anyway). On the other hand, a dear friend who is a barrister in Melbourne, Australia, has been shaking his head at our Second Amendment rights, but the way the Australian government treated its citizens/residents during the Covid Plandemic began slowly waking him up to the reason our Second Amendment is as important to a functional democratic system (constitutional republic for the U.S., of course) as it is. I, too, am a former Democrat. But initially not because of the gun issue - Trump's aggressive stance towards trafficking was the first thing to win me over, as a friend who escaped from Satanic cult abuse made me aware of this horrific issue. Thanks again, Dr. Malone, for giving voice to those whose views are changing in light of what we have witnessed these last few years.
Here is a vignette from Bari Weiss's Free Press this morning. This is exactly what put Germany on the path to the death camps:
Andrew Goldberg, the filmmaker, described how his 11-year-old was also targeted with antisemitic taunts. This past fall, he said, a fellow sixth-grade student at a public school in Westport, Connecticut, leaned toward his son as they were leaving class and said, “Hey, I have a fun camp for you. It has great showers. Camp Auschwitz.”
He then added that another Jewish classmate “has already joined.”
Months later, the same student jeered at Goldberg’s son in the hallways, yelling and laughing, “We must exterminate the Jews!”
But after Goldberg and his wife complained to the principal and superintendent of the school, the officials responded with a “support plan,” reviewed by The Free Press, which mainly recommended his son “try a new table at lunch.” Nothing in the plan referenced antisemitism.
Goldberg said he and his wife felt they had no option but to take their son out of public school and enroll him in a private Jewish day school. Through a lawyer, they asked Westport Public Schools to help pay their child’s tuition, and the district agreed—but only if the Goldbergs would sign a nondisclosure agreement swearing them to secrecy, he said.
The Goldbergs refused.
“We viewed this as hush money,” Goldberg said.
Westport Public Schools did not return calls from The Free Press for comment.
I live in Westport CT. The cowardice of the public schools, school board and Town officials is appalling. I am calling for the sacking of the richly compensated superintendent of schools and the resignation of the entire BOE. This is the madness that grips our leftist friends and will lead to grief and sorrow if not stopped.
Oh how I wish my anti-Second Amendment Democratic friends would read this and more importantly, understand it! I belong to a group of Concealed Carry women who are prepared to defend ourselves, our families and our country, if need be. We are called the 2A Sisterhood and meet twice a month to train and for education. I am so proud to be a part of this group. My husband encouraged me to become proficient in firearm use and after he passed away, it became more important for me to be able to defend myself. As most women believe, I thought he would be my familiy’s defender. No. We are ALL responsible for defense of self, family and country.
Communist/Islamist Democrats want to be able to tell you and me, how to live, what we can and can't do. Communist/Islamist Democrats want total control of America. They want to replace you and me, with Mexicans and Muslims, eliminate our current population base. Communist/Islamist Democrats are evil, they lie, deceive, and subvert you through the media, educational facilities, and government. Communist/Islamist Democrats stole the last election, will steal it again in 2024, because no one was able to do anything about it.
Our government has been taking control of all of our lives over the past 30 plus years. We are so dependent on them at this point they could shut down our computers and most of us would be penniless. Years back I was going on vacation and there was a small soft covered book I bought at the airport on the American constitution and what our founders based it on. The founders were all historians and many used the history of Rome as a guideline for our rights. At the beginning of Rome it was required that every man must have a spare in the home to stop invaders from taking over the city or town. The idea of the second amendment and a militia in our constitution was based on this idea to protect our communities from invaders and yes tyrannical government. Rome of course began to get foreign armies to protect Roman citizens and we all know how that ended. When I hear brilliant historians like congressman Dick Durban say he wants to let illegal aliens join our armed forces I can’t help but think what complete fools we have running our country. Imagine handing felons M16’s. As they say, without the second amendment, there would be no amendments especially with the tyrants we are forced to live under today. J.Goodrich
Only the gun allows the most helpless to stop the most predatory.
NO other tool on the planet can do so as easily and safely.
God may indeed have created man, built it was Col Colt who made them equal.
Until the invention of a reliable, safe multi fire pistol, you had to have a lot of practice, to be effective with a gun, at any range. Ditto with a sword. Us peasants did not have the time or money to do so.
The ruling class, and the thugs, did. Hell, a lot of the thugs were ex military.
Today, ANYONE that has very minimal training, can use this tool to stop the biggest predator, armed or not. Mainly because it is the victim that is right next to the predator. At 5 feet everyone is Annie Oakly. This is one reason why cops shoot so many innocent bystanders. They have to catch the bad guy. All we need to do is make the rabid democrats go away.
Well over 90 percent of the defensive gun use (DGU) in the USA, involves showing the rabid democrat your gun, and he scurries back under his rock. Up to 2 million times a year. Even the Gov that wants you disarmed admits to 800k DGU a year.
And yet, we have so many democrats and other rabid leftist vermin who work very hard to;
Disarm the victims (no gun zones)
Violate the law abiding (gun control laws)
While they protect more criminals (sanctuary cities and democrat SOROS DAs)
No wonder those rabid rodents want to disarm the victims, it makes it safer for them to practice their evil and spread their rabies. .
Nicely put. The problem with guns is not the guns themselves but the culture of violence that inspires people to use guns inappropriately. This includes the use of psychopharmaceuticals, the cultivation of hatred for opposing groups aka factionalism or identity politics, and a culture which fails to instill proper reverence for morality and ethical behavior as aspirational for all humans who cohabit this planet. Governments will always be prone to abuse of power. The second amendment is a safeguard agains this. The unanswered question is how we can change our culture to enable us to get along better with one another. Philosophers have been debating this for centuries and still have no answers. We still need the answers, and more so now perhaps than ever before.
It's natural to over-generalize about what humans are like at first. And politicians do their best to solidify false notions about that, for obvious reasons.
The truth is that people have different social and cognitive "styles" on top of hormonal differences, etc. These result in perspectives that are biased. Because the very goal of logical induction is to predict as parsimoniously and/or with the greatest explanatory breadth possible. We crave the simplest and, therefore, the most analogical explanations/predictions.
Unfortunately, this tendency to analogize causes us, until we learn better, to think the behaviors of others implies the same feelings and motives as we would be having doing the same behavior even though this turns out to be false much of the time. So false stereotypes are easy to reinforce by the State.
We're at the point that many on the left actually believe that disagreeing about what is right or wrong on a matter indicates a hate in the opposing party. It never dawns on them that disagreements work both ways and that such reasoning would imply that both sides are haters. Worse, they assume that State "science" has proved what they prefer to believe, and that, therefore, their opponents are anti-science/reason.
This state of affairs is both dangerous and hard to reverse since the State plays it like a fiddle for their own ends. The only hope of arresting the tyrannical momentum, short of divine intervention, is if enough of us realize who our real enemy is and resist it together. Praying for all of us.
In Canada, the Trudeau liberals (our demorats) is progressively trying to disarm the country. He has abolished new hand gun purchases and semi automatic high capacity magazines. He has left the door open to ban more rifles in the legislation. On the other side of the crime wave he has reduced sentences for gun crime. So where is his thinking? I think you can guess. He is part of an organization dedicated to stripping Citizens of the rights and abilities to defend themselves from an over reaching government. I fully expect him to blame the rise in crime here due to number 2 above to not having banned all guns when the real reason is his catch and release program for criminals.
Excellent article! I would like guns away from criminals & to think we’re safe the too. But our world isn’t like that. We’re actually safer with law abiding citizens being able to get guns. Since Covid I’ve learned just exactly how so many of our so called leaders & politicians are liars. Very many seem not to really care about the people other then being able to get a vote. I’m not comfortable any more letting those people try to convince us we’re better off with the government restricting the 2nd amendment. We’re not just as this guy says.
There was a study done many years ago on which countries were least likely to be invaded. The winner was the US, not because it has the best army in the world and not because of its advanced technology but rather simply because there are so many citizen with guns. The crazies aside, the old expression of a citizen with a "gun behind every blade of grass" (quoted by admiral Yamamoto as to why not to invade the US) is still true.
The media - both news and entertainment - have now politicized nearly everything in our society as an extremely powerful mechanism of control.
Most people will not act to secure their future, so long as they feel they have an advocate fighting for them in the public or political arenas. This is why Republican vs Democrat equals divide and conquer. The human mind is binary. Our thought process can often be boiled down into terms (often ultimatums) of – this or that – and our adversaries understand - very well - the art of this war.
They know that politicization is so effective at manipulating us because most emotionally connect their personal belief system to the belief system of their political party, and so then any attack on their party – legitimate or otherwise – is interpreted by their brain as an attack on themselves. Reason and logic then jump out the nearest window as raw emotion takes the helm, thus making them even more susceptible to the predatory controlling influences.
The flawed voting system was deliberately designed to birth the Frankenstein uniparty—that parasitic two-winged predatory vulture perched on our sacred Constitution like a toll-bridge troll and who uses that divinely inspired Document as a platform to pick and peck us clean down to the bone. Here is how to fix the elections and prevent this from happening again (once we get them back) https://tritorch.substack.com/p/solutions-volume-1-the-us-voting
We lost our way as a society when we eliminated personal responsibility and substituted it with feelings. Feelings are emotional, can be irrational, invoke anger, desire, empathy and most often are fleeting. Responsibility is critical to self respect, determination, honesty, and achieving results. The everyone gets a trophy for showing up, everyone is a victim, has created a society of wimps walking on egg shells to avoid being shamed for saying the wrong thing or even looking at someone the wrong way. Losing builds determination, failure builds experience necessary for further attempts and eliminating the pain only weakens the individual and society as we now see. I’ve lived the transformation of the enormous progress of opportunity for blacks, gays and women only to see it squandered with a delusional illusion that anything short of perfection is absolutely unacceptable and deserves hatred and condemnation. Most of those calling others evil Nazis are themselves guilty of a vile hatred that is consuming their souls. The truth has become whatever hides the truth and those vilifying anyone who refuses to cower are complicit in the destruction of the progress we have all witnessed with our own eyes.
