Gun Control Debate

 

We are born evil but can work to become better, even good. To be born depraved is to be a selfless, groupist, without self-esteem. Without self-esteem, one hates the self, and hatred is what evil is psychologically and when the hater acts.

 

To grow evil, we need people group-living, to group-identify, to live under the moral code of group-morality; when people are joiner-nonindividuators, they live and work in various institutions or hierarchies and that is where tyranny and injustice abound.

 

Thus, to grow government is to grow evil in our lad, so thus more gun control and government intervention and regulating fun rights is to grow evil in the land, and this is insufferable.

 

There is no middle ground on gun control. Governments always turn on the people, and tyranny ensues where the masses are disarmed. Part of our precious American heritage is the blessing the masses have here to keep and bear arms, a constitutional right. It keeps power hungry elites at bay.

 

There is no workable public solution to gun violence: we must improve the odds that the moral character of each gun owner is more inclined to be peaceable and law-abiding and this solution is solid, not glamorous, slow, and private.

 

The solution is to teach young children religious and moral self-control. But we live in a post-Christian era where the young have not spiritual and moral foundation, so social aberrations like transgender mass shootings increase, as can be anticipated.

 

3 years ago, a trans-woman--used to be a guy--took a shine to me at a job we worked in South St. Paul. I am as conservative as they come, but I treated him with dignity and respect, because I treat people that way. She was hated by everyone, very flamboyant, very in-your-face outspoken. I do not pile on when a mob of workers go after someone. She told me that she transitioned about 10 to 15 years ago in her late 40s. She confessed that she was no happier today than before when she transitioned, but that her therapist had talked her into the transition. She kept repeating: "My therapist thought it was a good idea. My therapist thought it was a good idea."

 

Jordan Peterson is mistaken on a lot of points, but he is right that we must live with our burdens and suffering, and vow never to take it out on others, or ourselves. We must create, love, and bring beauty and moral goodness to society, and that is how we transmute our anger, our frustration, our hurt, rather than allowing to fester until one gets a gun and blasts innocent little kids.

 

Liberty is the most important virtue in the world, and we all need to be armed to the teeth to let government at all levels know, we are in charge, and they had better not try to set up tyranny here; we will not allow elites to enslave us. That is why the Founders wanted us armed, and that is why Leftist elites take advantage of such tragedies to rile up the people to confiscate guns--it is their ruse to grab power and legislate gun confiscation. We must not allow them more illicit power-grabbing which happens, and they restrict gun rights. These are evil people doing evil things, and we must disallow their attack on gun rights.

 

The postmodernist/Leftist/ secular tilt in America is or was post-Christian in actuality or intent since the 60s; historically when the grand narrative guiding a nation is abandoned or weakened, angry and lost souls like the Minneapolisls child-killer may lash out against society. The violent American loner white male mass killer is another issue— these young men need religion, values and a personal plan to self-realize to canalize their horrible suffering into sublimated, socially ,acceptable channels. There is no home in America yet to offer these misfits help but my philosophy could help them.

 

If a youngster is a troubled, perhaps mentally ill misfit like many of these transgenerder youth are, a course self-actualization would give them a constructive create outlet for their anger and rage, so they then would be far less inclined to become a domestic terrorist. They must have an constructive outlet for their bitterness and frustration.

 

 

I said earlier that liberty is the most important virtue in the world, but that requires extensive contextualization to be believed. Christians (I am a fringe Christian, which is not relevant here.) are largely altruistic morally, and altruism requires a complementary, coercive political and legal framework; notice how you ask if we, the human community, should allow people access to firearms if they are not attending church or going to therapy.

 

The gun-control ideologues possess presuppositions not based in liberty: as a liberal and Leftist, they assume and insist that the community, or the government, its authoritarian branch, are or will be justified in deciding if the individual is competent, tested, certified to own a firearm. If he fails some communal or legal test, he is denied a firearm.

 

I repudiate the community or the government telling or meddling with the individual, who has a constitutional right to bear arms. I am a proponent of egoist morality, that freedom and power to decide to own a firearm resides with the sane, law-abiding individual, who will make the decision to bear arms or not, not the state, not the community.

 

The gun control proponents most certainly are altruists and  collectivists, more or less, so they believe it is moral and legally right for the community and government to decide which individual is allowed to bear arms, and that is not promoting liberty, but is promoting tyranny, and the growth of government power, intruding into private lives and the citizens right to bear arms.

 

Their solutions are what I call evil, and my solution is likely what they call evil. They see government, especially large expanded government as a benevolent, civilizing force. As a conservative, I prefer strong, lean, limited government, free markets, maximum freedom and power to the individual citizen to run his own affairs. I see government as inherently evil, a necessary evil, but not one to be given ever expanding powers to run people's lives. We live in a blessed country of constitutional republicanism, and to cede to government the mandate to do gun control is to open the door to tyranny, even Communism here. The gun controllers often mean well, but your legislated solution will bring the federal demon down upon our heads. We hate mass killers, but it is the collectivists both Marxist and Fascist, secular and theocratic, that murdered over 100 million citizens since 1910.
