Why is gun control really in the news? Is it because of local shootings? Is it logical to ditch guns because bad guys use them? I think if we look at this economically and politically we will see what is going on with the gun control debate.
Before we delve deep into the context I speak of we have to understand the real purpose of the founding fathers putting guns into the constitution. Remember, they came from a land where tyranny reigned. Soldiers could do anything they wanted and they can take whatever they wanted so when the founders created the nation they built it around one basic philosophy: the difference between a right and a privilege.
After they discussed the difference in terms they came to a conclusion that people needed the right to protect themselves against tyrants who looted their hard work. It is not lawful for government to steal so the people had the accord to protect themselves from government.
Fast forward to today, we hardly see the need for gun control because the government doesn’t knock on your door to take money anymore. So we reasoned that the use of guns were there for open season hunting and gaming. However, government never forgot the purpose of gun freedoms. They also knew their purpose which was to keep government officials in check.
Today we stand on the brink of tyranny, the last four presidents paid little to no regard for the constitution which is a document that is meant to state the obvious not to govern or direct freedoms in some way. The people and government both know there will be major changes in our society.
1) Because the ideals of American society are changing toward socialism and
2) The dollar is decreasing at a rapid rate
There may be a transition of government authority as we saw with the EU and the government intent is to render the people defenseless to make the transition easier. Of course, with all the socializing happening in school people believe it is okay for govt to take over. The only ones who will fight are those who know their history.
The intent of gun control is not to make a safer society its to make an unarmed society.
