RSSAddendum to “Guns Don’t Kill People, Liberals Do!”
Gene Lalor | June 17, 2009
Please see previous article, “Guns Don’t Kill People, Liberals Do!” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1058.
On reconsideration, that article title is woefully incorrect due to misuse of the word, “liberals.” In point of fact, that word is really another language distortion by the Left, a distortion comparable to their calling abortion “reproductive rights.”
There’s nothing remotely reproductive about aborting a pre-born baby’s life and there’s nothing even vaguely liberal about today’s American liberals.
The first definition for “liberal” on Dictionary.com is: “favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs,” whereas those who purport to be libs in America are diametrically opposed to true progress or to anything remotely resembling reform in either politics or religion.
What they endorse and advocate is not progress and reform. It is nothing less than retrogression and deformity, destruction, dissolution, and deviance from what Americans have long held true and inviolable. And it is the responsibility of all Americans to resist any efforts to impose those deviances on the rest of us.
Take the whole issue of guns, for example. Conservatives are often accused of living in the past, thrashing about in antiquated ideas and seeking to preserve the outdated meanings and intent of our Constitution, such as Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.
(Again, to save the writer the onerous task of repetition, please see the previous article on this subject.)
The past has many enticements, aside from outdoor plumbing. However, we do seek to preserve those beliefs which are anything but antiquated and which were, and are, the foundations of the greatest nation ever created on the planet.
We do indeed believe in less government, greater individual responsibility, moral and national integrity, and we believe in the Almighty God that helped make all we are and all we have possible.
We may not always live up to our ideals but we hold dear those values of patriotism, honor, and morality without which America would long ago have ended up on the scrapheap of so many other pretenders to greatness and success.
We are accused of being flag-wavers by liberals who often seem ashamed of our flag and we are often sarcastically reminded of the definition of patriotism by the 18th century curmudgeon, Dr. Samuel Johnson. 
“Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel,” but only for those who wrap themselves in a nation’s flag while living lives antithetical to that nation’s values. (Johnson also defined oats as “A grain which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.”)
Aside from the incessant, discredited, blather about banning of guns in order to keep our streets safer, refuted in my original article on this subject, another distortion of intent behind that lib nostrum, is absolute gun, and ammunition, control.
Such is the dream of the pacifist minions of the Left and such is the quickest path to subjugation and tyranny by unbridled, usurping government.
Similar to the proven wisdom of the adage that, “Si vis pacem, para bellum–If you wish for peace, prepare for war,” if we wish to continue as a free, independent, and democratic republic, we must be prepared to struggle and fight for that privilege. 
Before some dolt reports me to the FBI as an insurrectionist, let me clarify that to mean a passive struggle, in the form, under rights conferred by the Second Amendment, of possessing arms. 
To repel and deter a government with designs on depriving Americans of their freedom and independence is not an option but a requisite. That deterrence is rooted in the 50% of households and the 60 million adults in America currently in possession of legal weapons.
The primary threats to our freedoms today come not from law-abiding citizenry but from our law-defying, elected and unelected officials, in ravenous government entities bent on denying God-given rights.
There they go once more! The pervasive paranoia of un-reconstructed conservatives!, the left will rant, forgetting that even paranoiacs have enemies. When government adopts inimical, suffocating laws and mindless bureaucratic regulations, it does become the enemy of the people.
Do I expect governmental brownshirts to swoop down on households throughout America and physically and violently confiscate legal firearms? Well, not tomorrow and perhaps not soon. I’d unwillingly surrender my 20 year old pellet gun if they insisted since I only train it on those damned fluffy-tailed rats, aka squirrels, that ravage the bird feeders.
Other patriotic Americans with legal weapons 
may not be so compliant.
The world has witnessed the results of such compliance in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia, where people were compliant, willingly or forcefully compliant. And the rest is history, a very sad history.
It can’t happen here? If liberals believe that, settle down and mellow out with some pot or a crack pipe and pretend you’re Michael Phelps. If you hear that knock on your door, just offer the gun police a toke.
In reality, guns do kill people but only when they are in the hands of reprobate murderers, or in the hands of agents of repressive governments.
