JUST DON'T GET IT

Nazism didn't work.   Eventually you run out of people who will believe your lies about the people you want to hate.
Imperialism didn't work, after a time, because the people they were using eventually got fed up and stood up for themselves, whether by violence or by passive resistance.
Socialism/Communism didn't and doesn't work, USSR proved that.  What DID work for 70 years was a serial autocracy that called itself Communism.  And that was a failure as well in the end.

Ivory tower intellectuals keep returning to the concept that it would be nice if all the people would just behave and let themselves be organized the world would be a perfect place. Their tunnel vision seems incapable of seeing the real world through the dream of the One World Order.

Of course, it is self evident (to them) that they are smarter and better educated than the hoi polloi, and therefore, they should  be the ones making the rules.  Just watch them on the TV giving interviews about a whole range of subjects.  Their arrogance is self-evident.

Gun control, on the other hand, DOES WORK!  Just not in the way they advertise.
What it does is give the government absolute total control over its citizen/subjects and every aspect of their lives.
Americans already live in a police state.  More people in prison than any other country in the world, including China.
Americans pay almost 50% of their pay to the government in taxes, fees(taxes), penalties(taxes), surcharges(taxes), and other hidden charges (taxes).
Which the government proceeds to spend on wages and perqs for aristocrats, senators and representatives, while exempting them from laws bought and paid for by megacorporations, like Obamacare.

Police are even now training Military units in riot suppression and crowd control. For who. They can't control Afghan or Pakistani militants or military who continually backshoot and ambush our troops and they are our allies.
So who are they prepping to control and contain.?

These self-appointed Aristocrats who rule America have one goal... More and better CONTROL. And that means gun control.  Removing the means of self defense, The Final Solution to the American Problem.
They're just not ready to unveil the ovens yet.
And I am sure you and I will be hearing about Terrorist cells, drug dealers, tax evaders, and religious fundamentalists and the actions of the alphabet agencies to "deal with" such criminals before those terrible criminals can kill children.  And they must be criminals because that is what it said on TV.
TSA can't find a terrorist to save their own lives, much less ours, but the threat has been enough to allow them to grope women and children.  So, who's happy about that?
Police across the country shoot people down in the street and walk away with little or no investigation, because the victim's cousin had gang connections and that is reason enough.
Botched searches on bad warrants get back paged by the media along with territorial violations and mass murder by drone operations, while local turf wars get national headlines.
And don't forget mass shootings.  Misanthropic loners on psychotropic drugs somehow manage to stockpile weapons and ammunition that the average joe can't even afford until the voices make them go out and shoot a bunch of people.
Funny thing, when they run down or are stymied, they seem to realize what they have done and commit suicide so no one will hear their side of the story, you know, about the voices from the computer, the attic or whereever.
Have you noticed that this time around, there just happened to be a Liberal push for this bogus UN arms treaty?  And suddenly we are awash in mass murder.
As my first wife would say,"what a coinkydink."
Just a few thoughts to pass along. thanks.
