Musings on Bad Things Happening

Imperfect world

Any fan of the TV series Firefly and especially the movie Serenity knows that the quest for a perfect world has unforeseen and averse consequences and, like feces, those consequences always roll downhill.

No person, group of persons or governments can stop every single bad thing from happening into eternity. We can only reduce the chances of bad things happening using proven methods and, in a free society that explicitly acknowledges the existence of individual rights in its constitution, those methods should be subordinate to individual freedom. Should be.

The gullible, however, believe that freedom includes freedom from bad things ever happening and freedom from bad people making bad things happen. These also believe that if we take away the tools that some people use to do bad things, such people will never again want to do said bad things, much less find new ways of doing bad things.

Thus, do the gullible believe that taking away guns from the entire American populace will permanently prevent incidents like Parkland, Sandy Hook, Nashville, etc. It’s as if they believe that guns emit bad-things mind control.

Of course, we know that mass shootings, robberies, rapes, burglaries, gang warfare, etc. with targeting expanded to every home, school and business in the nation – except for those of the rich -- will become more frequent, simply because bullied psychotic teenagers won’t be the only ones freed up by the chances of surviving while committing, say, a home invasion burglary. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of street gangs and drug/human-trafficking cartels just salivating at the thought of a disarmed America.

And this leads us to the true reason that the Organized Left wants us disarmed. Any real attempt at confiscation will lead to a lot of death: of gun owners, of confiscators, and of bystanders. And after that dies down – no pun intended – there will only a terrorized remnant, beset on every side by tyrants, thieves, murderers, rapists and child molesters - and that’s just in the government.

Remember, the Organized Left is always looking to shrink populations and almost everything they advocate leads to some version of early death for existent generations and/or nonexistence for future generations.

Everything that happens before their projected endgame? Details.
