Gun Control: The Ultimate Human Rights Violation

. . and one thing all human rights activists are perpetually ready to jettison is the right Americans enjoy in keeping and bearing arms.

Ironically, this right, summarily stated in the 2nd Amendment, should be the lynchpin of any honest pursuit of human rights. Thomas Jefferson made this clear when he equated a government-backed prohibition against defending one’s self with a government-backed denial of “the most basic of nature’s rights.”

Thomas Jefferson sure as hell didn’t equate, say or write anything like that. You, sir, are a big fucking liar. I said that. It’s nothing more than the motto of a gun-nut website: RKBA.

When one reads Jefferson’s statement in light of his many writings on nature’s laws and the benefits of private gun ownership . .

. . GAH. Sure, I’ll take a crack at that. On the 99th of Horseshituary, two-millie-vanillion-and-bazoolie.

. . it’s clear he was implying that the denial of the right to self-defense with a firearm is essentially a denial of one of the core aspects of what it means to be human.

Not gonna back down from this total bullcrap, eh? Don’t give a fuck if the world thinks you’re publicly demonstrating the brains and integrity of a thief? Awesome.

So, if I decided against having a gun, wouldn’t it be essentially the same problem? One of self-denial, but the same disaster? T’would be a “denial of one of the core aspects of what it means to be human”? Hmm, that sort of cement-headed logic just doesn’t sound like Thomas Jefferson. Sounds like an overwrought web-logger who makes shit up because, well, he doesn’t know what else to do.

By the way, what it means to be human would probably entail experiences like communicating through language, feeling empathy for others and coming to self-consciousness. I don’t see how owning a gun compares, it’s just a fancy tool.

In other words, gun control actually steals part of our humanity.

How much worse of a human rights violation can exist than one that actually separates the “human” from the “rights”?

What a comedian. ‘You took my bullet ejaculator! I’ve been reduced to scratching fleas and humping the vacuum cleaner! WOOF!’

Hawkins also believes that any ‘right’ he deserved that someone messed with would be a “Human Rights Violation!” If you gave him a jaywalking ticket, he’d scream “I have the right to cross the street! This citation is a Human Rights Violation!” Screw the crosswalk! Call The Hague!

None of this is hard to understand if we just imagine a woman who lives alone, and is being stalked by a dangerous man. She goes to a gun store to buy a handgun with which to protect herself, but because she lives in Chicago, Mayor Daley will not allow her to purchase a gun. Thus she goes home, and hopes the lock on her door will hold.

When he’s ready, the stalker becomes an intruder who breaks the door open, assaults the woman, and then leaves with a smile on his face.

After reflecting on the matter he realizes the woman has no means with which to defend herself, so he goes back for more, and in time, as his callousness increases, he goes back more frequently. He knows the woman is helpless to stop him because she has been denied that “most basic of nature’s rights.”

No, she is helpless to stop him because:
1.) ‘She’ is clearly your twink blow up doll.
2.) ‘He’ has the keys to his own fucking apartment.
3.) ‘He’ is you.

In this scenario, how long would it be before the woman felt less and less like a woman and more and more like a dog? How long would it be before she had a thorough understanding of what Jefferson meant when he coupled gun control with the denial of a core aspect of what it means to human?

WELL, let’s ask her:

” . .grrrRRROWRRRRRrrrrrrrRRRROOOWWWRRR . . “

WHOA! DOWN SCOOBY!

. . it won’t be long till you feel like the woman who sat in her apartment staring at the door, hoping the lock would hold up under pressure because it was the only line of defense she had against her assailant.

Gun control could just be the ultimate human rights violation.

And if we ever give up our guns in this great nation, we will ultimately give up our humanity.

BILL O’REILLY: Let me be very bold and fresh again. Do you believe that you are smart enough, incisive enough, intellectual enough, to handle the most powerful job in the world?

“I believe that I am because I have common sense, and I have, I believe, the values that are reflective of so many other American values, and I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the, um, the ah..kinda a spineless..a spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite Ivy League education and and a fat resume that’s based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles Americans are, could be seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership, I’m not saying that that has to be me.”

Presumably, if the state’s reserves were savagely embezzled, leaving Alaska bankrupt, the Governor’s fondest wishes for the people of Alaska would have been realized.
