Getting rid of guns WON’T change anything.
I heard this from a friend. His name is Butch. Other than hugely reducing murders and suicides … I suggested. He also raised Canada. There’s always that chestnut. More guns in Canada than the USA, but Canada doesn’t have the same problems. People don’t go around capping each other.
Canada is always the interesting comparison. Canada & their guns suggests that America is just fucked up at its very core. But ask a Canadian … it’s really hard to get even a handgun up there.
According to the comedian, Jim Jefferies, if you have a home-owned weapon it is 80% more likely to be used by the owner, on themselves. Now I happen to know that 73.8% of all statistics are made up on the spot … but it sounds accurate.
One other theory exists – my own, no one else’s .. and it’s just a theory … it’s just a possibility.
Maybe the USA’s fascination with owning weapons is the subconscious desire to kill itself … themselves. Maybe? That it is within the national psyche – for national psyche’s do exist – to commit karmic seppuku for the guilt on its national soul. There is a lot of guilt, there must be. The blood on its hands, the deeply buried guilt for the extermination of the 500 nations of native Americans – The Great Clearing – that made way for European colonization of the land. It simply must exist. An entire continent cannot be dispossessed and dispatched without a spiritual cost to the interlopers.
Maybe.
Look at the Japanese reaction amongst their male society after their emasculation in World war Two, for example. A formerly proud warrior nation, with internal warfare for over a thousand years … suddenly and horrifically beheaded. Subjugated ever since by the west, not allowed to even defend themselves as a nation. Look what that’s done to their men. Infantilism … feelings of inferiority … rape clubs. Look at what they now find attractive in women – submissiveness … obedience. Strong women frighten the shit out of them.
The Scandinavians were bad bastards back in the first millennium A.D. Vikings. We had to redesign architecture in Ireland because of them. The monks built big tall round towers to provide a safe haven for people during Viking raids.
Germans, Portuguese, the Spanish, the French, the Brits, the Dutch … they went all over the world … fucking stuff up and killing people. They call it colonization in the history books. Nice hygienic word for it.
Europeans, eh?
Traumatic events are blocked out by the mind. Erased by the hippocampus, akin to an alcoholic’s blackout. Ask British youngsters what they know of the Irish genocide which lasted for 800 years. The what? Ask American youngsters about Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq, Palestine, Vietnam, Syria, Afghanistan etc.
Guilt exists in men, it’s real. National psyches are real.
Or maybe North Americans – well, let’s face it … Europeans – because that is what the gun lobby are … white Europeans – just really like to fuck stuff up and kill people.
School shootings don’t happen in ANY other country. Why not?
Because the USA is the only country where the people have guns and won’t give them up. Like Jefferies said. Australia. 1996. The Port Arthur massacre. Government says “Give us the guns”. Australia goes “Righty oh …” and just gives up their guns. No more massacres. When you arm everybody … see where that goes?
There is no logical or reasonable argument to support the main population having access to guns. Guns are for killing. That is their sole function.
The State will always be afraid of its populace being armed to the teeth. So what lengths will it go to to get the guns out of its people’s hands?
Kid shoots his dad, goes to school … shoots it up. Says he doesn’t know why he did it and asks for help.
Does it make any sense? Why would he say he didn’t know why he did it, unless that was the truth of it? He’s not getting away with it whether he knows why or not. Doesn’t need to say anything, he can plead the fifth as is his right and as his lawyer would have advised him.
So just maybe he’s… y’know … telling the truth.
I wonder how many school shooters don’t know why they did what they did a la Sirhan Sirhan shooting Bobby Kennedy.
If one supposes that the power elite, or the shadow government – or any government for that matter – wants guns out of the hands of its public …. then wouldn’t MK Ultra having kids shoot up schools be the way [in their minds] to expedite that? You can’t take the guns away, because people think it’s guaranteed to them in the Constitution.
“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.”
But if you get the people to tell the powers that be to take them away…
Is that crazy?
Operation Northwoods. Gulf of Tonkin. Prior knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack. Phantom WMDs in Iraq. A cruise missile slamming into the Pentagon on 9/11 as per Operation Northwoods …
Is it?
