So there was a story in the news recently where a guy went on a stabbing spree (Apple River?) and he killed one of them with the knife.
Now let's say that he gets convicted and goes to prison. After a while lets say he gets paroled. Because a lot of convicts do. But because he is a felon so he won't be able to have a gun. The only problem is he didn't kill with the gun. He killed with a knife.
So if you want to be apples to apples in the justice system you would say that he could also not have a knife in addition to not being able to have a gun.
So what is he supposed to butter his toast with in the morning?

Now there was another case where a man ran over his girlfriend with a car. Went to jail. Got out. Got in a car and ran over a whole bunch of people in a parade in Waukesha WI.
So the law should be he should never be able to drive a car again, in addition to not having a gun? Everyone is going to say, "How is he supposed to get to work?" What work? Running over people with a car?

Okay lets change the direction of this a little bit. A bear attacked someone. The justice system had no problem finding that bear and killing it.
So can the comparison be made that we should have no problem instituting the death penalty on people that kill the innocent? I think that is what is required to maintain justice. And the whole thing gets distorted when you have organized crime in your country. The propaganda you might see is that the death penalty is horrible. That it is inhumane. That a lot of times the wrong people were convicted of the crime and were on death row and by the luck of something evidence was found and they were released. And oh boy are we lucky as a society we didn't have the death penalty?
And what else is likely part of that propaganda motive? Because people know you have organized crime in a country perhaps the don't want the death penalty because organized crime knows they go to far sometimes? And could there be an issue where someone got made at a criminal of that nature who victimized them and killed them? The point here being is that you should not have the death penalty for someone who killed a member of organized crime? IMHO. And it is a great thing that there is a new law to the effect that if someone is being human trafficked and they kill the pimp they are not likely to be charged....and forgive me if I don't know the exact wording of that law.

What am I getting at here with this? A United States Citizen is either guilty and in jail and obviously can't have a gun in jail? Or they are free and all Constitutional Rights apply to them? Should someone be allowed to have a gun in jail? Do they not still have the right to protect themselves from violence in jail? When you have members of organized crime in jail shouldn't a nonmember of organized crime be allowed to have a gun in jail? And what am I implying with regard to the fate of organized crime?
And what did that brain surgeon Republican who ran for President say? That black men are not gay when they go into prison but when they come out they are?
Shouldn't a man have the right to protect themselves from homosexuality in prison? I always like to make a comparison. If Lot from the Bible had had a gun perhaps the city he lived in would not have been destroyed by God? And lot would not have had to flee that city, because he had a gun. To protect himself and his son when men came to his door wanting to have sex with his son.

And what else am I seeing in this great nation of ours? I am seeing an undertone of propaganda that the founding fathers were blockheads for creating that Second Amendment? That everyone in this country is a blockhead because of our Constitution today? That those who believe in every right that is written in the Constitution are somehow an antiquated blockhead?
Our Founding Fathers were not blockheads! They were highly intelligent.
Do you get the notion that some people on the television news media really hate our country? By how they characterize people, freedom and the Constitution.
And there is going to be a questionnaire on the ballot that will read about like this, "Do you believe you should have less Constitutional rights concerning...." It really doesn't matter what right it is does it.
But our Founding Fathers were not blockheads. And therefore we can say without a shadow of a doubt they didn't create the United States for blockheads?

How Americans were murdered in 2016:
Firearms | 14,415 |
Cutting/Piercing | 1,781 |
Suffocation | 502 |
Striking | 217 |
Poisoning | 135 |
Fire/Burning | 131 |
Drowning | 44 |
Motor vehicle | 27 |
Fall | 5 |
Other/Unspecified | 2,105
|
Table borrowed from: The Most Common Methods of Murder | American Council on Science and Health (acsh.org)
So if you want to be fair about the law a released felon who murdered by one of those means in the table would be restricted from it?
Striking? Oh the poor dear can no longer be a construction worker with a pick axe?
Drowning? Oh the judge ordered that the poor dear can longer go by any pools of water?
So lets say that someone who murders isn't as intelligent in some way. Something wrong with them, right? How can you have someone who is free like that....for example, how can you tell them not to go near water, because they are likely to drown someone again? How can you tell them not to pick up a hammer because they killed someone by striking them?
How can you say, now don't you dare get behind the wheel of a car again, because you intentionally ran people over. So you are free, but don't you do that again.
Poisoning? "We don't want you around any chemicals. So you are not allowed to have vitamins in your house because you could give someone an overdose with them? And you are not allowed to clean with bleach. And you can't have antifreeze in your car. And you are not allowed to start a fire ever again with matches or anything else because you burnt someone to death in arson."
Do you see what I am getting at? Take the word gun out of it, and you get a better idea of what the real problem is?
I think if that Second Amendment falls a lot of us will be taken out to "killing fields" somewhere and shot to death. A lot of us who are not blockheads. Shot to death for what? For the shooter having a love for blockheads?
Okay I am just starting to scratch the surface of an archetype that doesn't belong in our Democracy?

And I did indeed find it a relief that Dick Chaney came out against Donald Trump recently. Dick Cheney a former CIA person, head? And here I thought a lot of Trumps actions had to be orchestrated by the CIA as false flag events or whatever?

Indeed ,this article is just me talking aloud. Did you ever meet a prudish person who acted like everything you said or believed in was some kind of taboo? I mean; what?
What? How come you sat through all of those history classes and didn't come to conclusions like this? When you learned of our country in history class what belief system were you applying to that knowledge? How were you thinking about United States History? You would have to have a broken walnut!
