No Gun Control

 

My niece, a strong Democrat, is reacting online (Facebook) to the school shooting by a trans-woman of children at a Catholic grade school in Minneapolis in 8/28/25.

 

With some light editing, here are my remarks which I posted to my niece: “

 

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.

 

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 mass shootings increase, as can be anticipated.

 

Ben Door of Minnesota Gun Rights offers a conservative Chritian solution to why these senseless killings are happening, if you want to Google his video.

 

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 goofy 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 as they restrict gun rights. These are evil people doing evil things, and we must disallow their attack on gun rights.
