Like a lot of people, I was wathing some sunday night football this weekend when I was lectured by the talking chimp Bob Costas about gun violence. Bob’s theory is that in the fantasy world of his where guns cease to exist, all violence also ceases to exist. Bob’s dream is to eliminate guns and thus eliminate the general populations right and ability to defend themselves. Like a typical lib, Bob likes to take isolated incidents such as the fatal shooting by a Kansas City Chief player earlier in the weekend, and extrapolate that to the normal for all of society.
You see, Bob is a utopian idiot. He takes this incident and makes it the norm to push his ideology, a world without guns. Bob fails to realize that the nature of some humans, much of whom are in our government structure, seek to dominate and oppress their fellow man. Typical of any utopian concept, you end up with an elite ruling class making decisions for the plebes, or the rest of us dopes. I guess Bob sees himself in the enlightened category and thus, would be a member of the elite class. This way, he would be free to participate in the creation of rules that the rest of us would be forced to live by.
The problem is, this was just an isolated incident. Millions upon millions of lawful gun owners go through their daily routines without any incident. There is one thing that stops ideologues like Bob from forcing his opinion and his ideal of life on the rest of us through the force of the federal government and that is the 2nd amendment. For any utopian, the concept needs to be issued by force as most reject this simplistic view of the world. Just as most who pay taxes only do so at the point of the federal governments gun so to speak and not because they feel that it’s the best use of their money. Bob simply feels that he and those of his ilk, are better equipped to make decisions for you and me. One of which being that he does not see the reason or need for us to own firearms. It would be best that they just disappear.
As we are all well aware, this will not happen. The governments meddling in the owning and possession of firearms has only hurt law abiding citizens. The criminal and those who seek to torment and harass others, can easily purchase or steal firearms to commit their crimes. Instead of dealing with the problem of those who need mental help to prevent violent crimes, libs go after the tool used to commit these crimes. If it was not a gun, maybe it would have been a knife, or let’s face it, a football player could probably just as easily have choked this woman to death. If the libs have their way, our society will slowly fall into the same tyranny that we fought a revolution to escape.
