Yes, why do democrats love gun laws?
The blogger touches on the main reason why we have a second amendment: The gun owners who helped establish the republic were to keep their arms in exchange for supporting the new Bill of Rights and the new republic. Over time, the reason remains unchanged: RKBA is a bulwark against tyranny imposed by fiat.A search engine sent someone here searching for "why are democrats eager to confiscate guns." Essentially, to facilitate remaining in power, and for self preservation. And for the full answer to that, let me turn to the recognized expert on the topic. Niccolò Machiavelli wrote Il Principe, The Prince, which most rulers of the past 500 years have had on their nightstand. While The Prince should take up a quarter of one high school civics or government class, one chapter in particular should be read and understood by every gun owner. The title and chapter number varies with the translation, but it is usually Chapter XX, twenty, and the title usually refers to either castles or fortresses. A faithful translation of that chapter will have a paragraph that could be summed up much like this, "There has never been a prince who was loved by his people who did not arm them; that they may defend him with their blood. There has never been a prince whose people hated him that did not disarm his subjects, that they may not overthrow him by force of arms." Read the whole thing. Posted by: badanov 2013-12-25 |
