You know they are counting on you...

The Founding Fathers were hard folks, they didn't have air conditioners, refrigerators, automobiles, airplanes and instant gratification through mindless streaming media. They had to go to plays, read books, discuss issues and be roused by the rabble. Who were armed and dangerous.

Current culture isn't like them, so their expectations of responsibility, honor, liberty, justice, death and life were totally different than yours. They were better for theirs, you I am not sure about.

The current culture expects that most of you are law abiding citizens, and will disarm properly like you stopped drinking during Prohibition. Most of America did, the gangs got lots of money from selling alcohol, but the government got no tax revenue - so Prohibition was repealed when the government needed more tax revenue, and the losing tax/alcohol control agents went after guns in the ATF, a tax enforcement agency. Anyway, not drinking is totally healthy, drinking just a little is basically harmless, and being an alcoholic is classified as a disease and needs treatment. Being drunk is lost time in a very short life - time that one never gets back. My point, is that the government has no competence in making great personal choices - just using drinking as an example of personal choice.

So, I expect the fools in politics, will bow to the Main Stream Media's bias on GUN CONTROL, which is silly but politicians are smart about how often to consider the voters (once, the day of balloting) and the MSM (constantly in the 24 hour news cycle of cable vision.) And no, FOXNews isn't really different that the others, they are just more inclusive for more audience. They are all selling ad space on the airways - their primary job is attracting viewers for commercial exploitation.

Now, you could call violations of the Constitution acts of treason, since the Constitution is the foundation of all law in the United States of America. Most won't, but I would if I weren't so fat and lazy, I do know there are procedures to change the Constitution, new amendments or just trash the whole thing and write a new one -- since they don't do it long hand now, it would be a long written always unread document, I will vote to keep the current one. Imagine the tax code, if written in long hand or carved in stone, short and vigorous, written by cut and paste on computer long and pages more than ever needed - and never followed nor cited.

Anyway, they are going to try this Gun Control thing, it will pass in many stupid States - like New York and California and looking like Colorado and Illinois.  The criminals that don't do drugs, run criminal enterprises will disarm immediately, NOT! The law enforcement will go to eight round magazines and never shoot innocent bystanders or ladies delivering newspapers again, honest. They will use drone strikes, and give the operators medals honoring their service far above those WWII warriors in real battlefields. But many of you weak kneed citizens will quiver in fear of failure and turn in great grand-pappy's blunderbuss, and that beautiful thing you never fired but bought just in case.

Those that care about many things will finally realize that the government hasn't a clue about crime, drugs, morality, liberty, responsibility, economics, agriculture, energy or science and ignore thems in government.. Just ignore them, they will eventually die, go away, or destroy themselves. Take good care of yourself, all those you love, those you tolerate and pray for those sinners and saints and always your enemies. For in the end, what you do as your personal choice is always going to trump what the fools say you must do because they made it a law. I am working on getting close to Heaven, before they decide that believing in Salvation outside of government goodness is against their law.... silly folks.

  1. Great post Earl, and a home run with this comment

    "For in the end, what you do as your personal choice is always going to trump what the fools say you must do because they made it a law."

    THAT is what people who are trying to run our lives do NOT understand!

  3. Frankly, until the government can control people's minds, ala 1984, they can only help us help ourselves. Get to know your neighbors, and you will be better off.

    1. At least you read the post, not sure why you think 'they can only help us help ourselves', that is what they say they are trying to do... and then do something totally unhelpful. You do know my neighbors have assault rifles with thirty round magazines and shoot on Sundays?
