These days, there are few few things to
admire about the socialist, bankrupt and culturally degenerating USA,
but at least so far, one thing remains: the right to bare arms and use
deadly force to defend one's self and possessions.
This will probably come as a total shock
to most of my Western readers, but at one point, Russia was one of the
most heavily armed societies on earth. This was, of course, when we were
free under the Tsar. Weapons, from swords and spears to pistols, rifles
and shotguns were everywhere, common items. People carried them
concealed, they carried them holstered. Fighting knives were a prominent
part of many traditional attires and those little tubes criss crossing
on the costumes of Cossacks and various Caucasian peoples? Well those
are bullet holders for rifles.
Various armies, such as the Poles,
during the Смута (Times of Troubles), or Napoleon, or the Germans even
as the Tsarist state collapsed under the weight of WW1 and Wall Street
monies, found that holding Russian lands was much much harder than
taking them and taking was no easy walk in the park but a blood bath all
its own. In holding, one faced an extremely well armed and aggressive
population Hell bent on exterminating or driving out the aggressor.
This well armed population was what allowed the various White factions
to rise up, no matter how disorganized politically and militarily they
were in 1918 and wage a savage civil war against the Reds. It should be
noted that many of these armies were armed peasants, villagers, farmers
and merchants, protecting their own. If it had not been for Washington's
clandestine support of and for the Reds, history would have gone quite
differently.
Moscow fell, for example, not from a
lack of weapons to defend it, but from the lieing guile of the Reds. Ten
thousand Reds took Moscow and were opposed only by some few hundreds of
officer cadets and their instructors. Even then the battle was fierce
and losses high. However, in the city alone, at that time, lived over
30,000 military officers (both active and retired), all with their own
issued weapons and ammunition, plus tens of thousands of other citizens
who were armed. The Soviets promised to leave them all alone if they did
not intervene. They did not and for that were asked afterwards to come
register themselves and their weapons: where they were promptly shot.
Of course being savages, murderers and
liars does not mean being stupid and the Reds learned from their Civil
War experience. One of the first things they did was to disarm the
population. From that point, mass repression, mass arrests, mass
deportations, mass murder, mass starvation were all a safe game for the
powers that were. The worst they had to fear was a pitchfork in the guts
or a knife in the back or the occasional hunting rifle. Not much for
soldiers.
To this day, with the Soviet Union now
dead 21 years, with a whole generation born and raised to adulthood
without the SU, we are still denied our basic and traditional rights to
self defense. Why? We are told that everyone would just start shooting
each other and crime would be everywhere....but criminals are still
armed and still murdering and to often, especially in the far regions,
those criminals wear the uniforms of the police. The fact that everyone
would start shooting is also laughable when statistics are examined.
While President Putin pushes through
reforms, the local authorities, especially in our vast hinterland, do
not feel they need to act like they work for the people. They do as they
please, a tyrannical class who knows they have absolutely nothing to
fear from a relatively unarmed population. This in turn breeds not
respect but absolute contempt and often enough, criminal abuse.
For those of us fighting for our
traditional rights, the US 2nd Amendment is a rare light in an ever
darkening room. Governments will use the excuse of trying to protect the
people from maniacs and crime, but are in reality, it is the
bureaucrats protecting their power and position. In all cases where guns
are banned, gun crime continues and often increases. As for maniacs, be
it nuts with cars (NYC, Chapel Hill NC), swords (Japan), knives (China)
or home made bombs (everywhere), insane people strike. They throw acid
(Pakistan, UK), they throw fire bombs (France), they attack. What is
worse, is, that the best way to stop a maniac is not psychology or jail
or "talking to them", it is a bullet in the head, that is why they are a
maniac, because they are incapable of living in reality or stopping
themselves.
The excuse that people will start
shooting each other is also plain and silly. So it is our politicians
saying that our society is full of incapable adolescents who can never
be trusted? Then, please explain how we can trust them or the police,
who themselves grew up and came from the same culture?
No it is about power and a total power
over the people. There is a lot of desire to bad mouth the Tsar,
particularly by the Communists, who claim he was a tyrant, and yet under
him we were armed and under the progressives disarmed. Do not be fooled
by a belief that progressives, leftists hate guns. Oh, no, they do not.
What they hate is guns in the hands of those who are not marching in
lock step of their ideology. They hate guns in the hands of those who
think for themselves and do not obey without question. They hate guns in
those whom they have slated for a barrel to the back of the ear.
So, do not fall for the false promises and do not extinguish the light that is left to allow humanity a measure of self respect.
