A friend of mine reported absolute pandemonium from the gun show today. People waited hours in line to get in, spent hours on the phone for background checks, and overpaid by at least 50% for substandard merchandise on fear of Feinstein’s gun ban. Much of the sentiment was repeated from person to person, but it wasn’t about any kind of apocalypse. The people were afraid of their government. People should never be afraid of their governments.
I think this is an artificial run on guns. If I were Feinstein, I would have had my rich husband buy up a bunch of gun stock, announced the ban, and then raked in the dough as thousands of desperate citizens voluntarily handed over their money in a panic. What I think will happen is that this will die down and then it will happen again in a few years. That will allow the elites to make far more money off us than it will to put us under tyranny. Why steal from us when they can set up a situation in which we voluntarily hand them our money? If you’re going to buy something now, buy bullets, otherwise you might as well go out and buy a big wrench, because guns are only a tool by which to propel bullets, without which they are only good as a truncheon.
When Obama bans guns, if he does, he will do so suddenly and without warning. There will not be a bill out of Congress. He has shown thus far great disdain for the fact that Congress “interferes” with his plans, so I expect him to sign an executive order and skip Congress entirely. He views the Constitution as an impediment.
People are afraid of this government. They are talking riot and insurrection, which are unbecoming of citizens whose rights are still even marginally protected. Some Americans forget that the talks with King George lasted for over a decade before the states reluctantly revolted, even after blood had several times been shed by the British. Last I checked, the government hasn’t been killing citizens let alone locking them up. Our answer is to resist evil with whatever other means remain to us before we result to any kind of weapon besides words. While the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words shall always retain power, and with enough people behind them the right words can change the world- We the People. Remember that this government also fears us.
I have heard all week people who are in positions of power talk about how the ban will not actually go into effect. Mostly, I suspect Feinstein did this to appeal to her base. Many Democrats equate action with accomplishment, that if the government is doing something it has achieved something, no matter how nonsensical that notion may be. On the other hand, I will not be surprised to discover if it ever comes to light that Feinstein made a ton of money creating a run on guns. What politicians threaten to do carries a great deal of weight, so sometimes all they must do is feint in order to get the reaction they like, and then they can back off and seem reasonable as they line their pockets when they are the least reasonable among us.
If I'm wrong, I will eat my words. They have done this before. I know it seems dire. If it mattered that much to you, then why didn't you throw the incumbents out of office and turn over the government to the GOP? You get the government you deserve, and Republics turn to despotism when the people are incapable of governance by any other. If you really want to do something about it now, repent, and secure the protection and inspiration of the Almighty to tell you where to go, what to do, when to go and how to act. Only He will chart you a course that ultimately leads to a land of promise. No politician ever has managed what God promises us. He is the strength of my arm and my arms. I will buy tickets to His gun show...
