Berlin, Germany—I have some
very dear friends in this beautiful and sophisticated city. I love Europe for may reasons, primarily its
civilization, elegance and art. I am
very fond of the European people.
Most Europeans were not alive
between 1933 and 1945. It’s safe to say
that they all lost family members in the Second World War that extinguished 70
million lives before it ended. At least
historically, Europeans know well about government tyranny and violence.
As the European nations were resurrected
from that horrible war the new leaders understandably feared armed
citizens. Like their Fascist
predecessors they continued to ban or at least severely restrict gun
ownership.
All dictators and politicians
love their governing power. They all
seem to fear the people they rule. They usually seek to disarm the people so they cannot be overthrown when they
fall out of favor.
In America our founding
fathers realized this and established a Constitutional Right that allows
citizens to keep and bear arms. This is
unlike any other nation in that regard.
America had its problems. Slavery, a Civil War along with a huge
population of people from every kind of competing race, religion or culture
pushed together in our largest cities.
Multiculturalism has been a
failed experiment everywhere it has been tried.
People are simply unwilling to adapt to the nation where they or their parents
sought to live. When the cultures clash
it generally results in both violence and majority oppression against the
minority.
The large American cities all
became and still are hotbeds of multiculturalism-fueled violence.
Europe is beginning to learn
about the dark side of multiculturalism with the massive migration of
Muslims. Violence has been going on in
France, Germany and the UK but it’s being swept under the rug. Crime statistics are what the government says
they are, and as always they are never candid.
The United States has nearly
350 million residents. But for our
largest cities we have a crime rate as low as any European nation.
The gun ownership rate
outside of the major cities is always substantially higher but without any of
the big city violence.
Multiculturalism is problematic,
but we’ve allowed the African-American population to create their own lawless
society. All of the brawls happening on
streets and in malls these days are posted on YouTube and they exclusively showcase
African-American savagery.
Our prisons are filled with
an excess of African-Americans that have committed the most cruel and
despicable crimes imaginable. They have
created an unabated culture of ignorance, drug dependence and violence. This is a very real form of genocide.
Guns are not the
problem. It’s a failure to keep known,
violent people behind bars. It also
stems from a grotesque form of tolerance for bad African-American behavior by
the guilt-ridden White society.
In recent years there has
been study after study that has shown that the more guns in the hands of law-abiding
people the lower the rate of violent crime.
In the USA the right to not
only own firearms but to carry them concealed in public is the practice in all
but a few places. Violence has been
reduced as a direct result.
Amazingly Europeans are
actually afraid to even discuss gun rights!
If one dare suggest a person should have the right to use a gun to
protect, home, business or family there is Hell to pay. It’s not politically correct. Free speech in Europe is not nearly as
acceptable as it is in the USA.
As for private gun ownership
in Europe, it still exists. In most
places it’s difficult and heavily restricted.
However in the Scandinavian nations one can obtain a license to carry a
concealed handgun with a silencer!
In March there will be the
huge annual IWA Outdoor Classics fair for Hunting Guns and Outdoor Equipment in
Nuremberg. Tens of thousands will
descend on the convention center to see the latest and greatest firearms. It’s one thing to own them and another to
dare suggest gun rights.
European must understand that
government has won a propaganda war against gun ownership and rights. They have been brainwashed into believing
that guns not criminals cause crime.
They are somehow convinced that a cop on the phone is somehow better
than a gun in their hands.
The Muslims are a violent lot
and the body count of their victims grows daily. They can simply suffer or learn that training
and guns will deter the violence or stop it should it begin.
Europe needs their own
National Rifle Association and an honest dialog about how guns actually save
lives must begin.
Emotion must give way to
reality before the multiculturalism-fueled violence will end. Self-Defense is a basic human right.
Comments
I feel compelled to correct you on a couple of important issues.
Our Constitution grants no rights whatsoever. The source of rights is not the Constitution or government. This is what makes our country so unique in all the world and what we mean by the phrase, “American Exceptionalism”. Our founders realized that the things that make us unique from all other life forms on this planet or any other were gifts from our Creator and that no legitimate government of man may regulate those gifts. Now you don’t have to believe in a creator to understand that the elements that comprise our humanity are considered beyond the reach of our government and that is what the Constitution protects.
The Constitution grants nothing but prohibits much. It prohibits our government from regulating our humanity. In every other country in the world rights are things considered to be granted to their people and anything a government grants can be taken back by that granting power. Uniquely in our country since we consider the source of rights a higher power then the government then they have no authority to control them.
That is the important difference and after establishing this concept over 240 years ago we remain the only country in the world that respects it. This is what makes the United States of America exceptional.
