One More Thing.

I couldn’t resist this one.

David Hogg, who’s claim to fame is that he was inside of Stoneman Douglas High School during the mass shooting there and is a rabid gun control freak, made one of the dumbest statements on Twitter this weekend.

I would expect that a guy who is going to Harvard, who shouldn’t be there because he didn’t do that well in school and his SATs weren’t great, would know how to read the two lines of the Constitution that make up the Second Amendment.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Let’s break this up a bit:

  • A well regulated militia… – This is the quote that gives everyone fits.
    • What is defined as a militia? Is it federal (no), state (could be yes) or individual groups (could be yes).
    • In Federalist Papers 29, creating a state run militia is ineffective economically and not practical. People were required to be armed after the American Revolution to form a militia when necessary.
    • There is no mention of who forms it that militia. State government? Individuals?
    • There have been dozens of Supreme Court cases on this.
  • …being necessary to the security of a free State… – This one is obvious.
    • The Founding Fathers were very afraid that our government could become very tyrannical and try to take away the God-given rights of the First Amendment.
    • Thomas Jefferson was clear about this. They did not want the federal government to overpower the states’ rights or take our rights away through the force of the federal government’s army.
  • …the right of the people to keep and bear Arms… – This is a big part of the amendment.
    • That word, “people” has changed opinions of Supreme Courts.
    • If the Founding Father had used “militia” instead of “people,” that would have changed the entire definition of the Second Amendment.
    • By using “people,” that means that the right to bear arms is an individual right.
    • That was not an accident.
  • …shall not be infringed. – Very straight forward here.
    • The government is not allowed to prevent us to own a gun or take guns away.
    • The government does not owe us a gun.
  • Some things that the Left is pushing:
    • The Second Amendment did allow you to buy a cannon. That was taken away.
    • The Second Amendment did allow you to own an automatic weapon. That was taken away.
    • The Second Amendment did allow you to have no limits on bullets in the weapon. That was taken away.
    • The Second Amendment was not written for hunting. It was written for self-protection (which is a God-given right) and to topple tyrannical government. By the way, that right is being taken away.
      • Chicago, New York and California openly say you don’t have a right to protect yourself.
      • Canada and Europe have already taken that right away.
      • So has Cuba, Venezuela, China, Russia and North Korea. Hmm, interesting.

The Founding Fathers had some things to say about this:

  • “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined…” – George Washington.
  • “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson.
  • “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” – Thomas Jefferson.
  • “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Ben Franklin (1759).
  • “To disarm the people…[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.” – George Mason (1788).
  • “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.” – Noah Webster (1787).
  • “Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.” – James Madison (1788).

The Left always says that this is not what the Founding Fathers meant. Seems to me the Founding Fathers were very clear about what they meant.

So, in conclusion, David Hogg is an idiot that happens to go to Harvard.

 

Get Rid of the Second Amendment, Huh?

I just spent 15 minutes talking about why the Second Amendment and why it is important. Here is a reason we, as citizens, need to be armed. I know that Joe Biden thinks we don’t a hundred rounds to hunt a deer (though the Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting).

Over the last couple of years, there has been extensive reporting on how schools and hospitals are sterilizing and mutilating children all for the ideology of the trans community and the affirmation care crap. Matt Walsh reported that Vanderbilt University was mutilating kids so they can make money. He did this by using video the hospital posted on their web site. This led to protests in front of the hospital and a suspected bomb threat. Libs of TikTok cruises the Internet looking for videos people post, supporting trans-ing the kids.

Here’s an example from Libs of TikTok:

This is good reporting. These people are not commentating, they are reporting. They are using these perverts’ words against themselves and people are pissed about it and becoming very vocal about it.

Well, leave it to the Left to use the weaponized bureaucracies.

The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatricians and the Children’s Hospital Association wrote a letter to the Department of Justice and Attorney General, Merrick Garland to stop reporting on the trans-ing of the kids. Let’s go through it.

 

Some things:

  • Carrying out and coordinating a bomb threat is already illegal.
    • +–`The word “provoking” is a very ambiguous word.
    • News reports can always be considered “provoking” violence.
  • I also want to point out these organizations are extremely Left wing.
    • They are about money and ideology.
    • There are a lot of doctors that are trying to create competitive organizations.
  • “Evidence-based health care” includes men can be women.
    • There is no evidence about puberty blockers being temporary.
    • There are studies that dispute that trans-ing kids leads to happy adults.
    • The suicide rate is at 40% for trans people.
  • I question the number of threats and acts of violence. We’d be hearing about this day and night for weeks. Look at what the Left has done with January 6th.
  • The E-mails, the protests, the phone calls. These are all legal and peaceful protests. I have sent E-mails to Vanderbilt University and used choice words. No threats or cussing, but I was harsh. Not illegal.
  • Paragraph 3 hits it on the nose. Get rid of opposing opinions and shut down free speech.
