Cats, Guns, and National Security

COMMENT :  We wouldn't have this threat to American/Western culture if we regain power and silence those people . The Left always has the advantage in words. "Freedom of speech" is not work the loss of our heritage--and thus, ironically, the loss of that very freedom.

Do watch Sargon's video. MY BRILLIANT OBSERVATION OF THE PROBLEM: Technically meritocratic, but one thing people are too PC to point out is that who it really invites. From the book: A "blind paraplegic" can be enlisted to count the hairs on a caterpillar by touch. Totally useless work, yet after two years he or she can vote. Virtually all seriously disabled people will enlist, while a lot of able folks will choose the civilian life. Then the disabled vote themselves and other disabled welfare from the public largesse. Sound familiar? To be totally un-PC, while in a "democracy" only half the people making the decisions are "below average" (as I heard a flaming liberal put it after the 2004 election), in Heinlein's idea, MOST of the people who make the decisions will end up being that. Sargon's reaction to a bleeding-heart analysis:

If/when the time comes that White people are an oppressed, contained minority ala "Time Trax," this may be one of those folk songs about the good ole days before we let White Guilt kill us.

BEAUTIFUL! The people of California deserve all of this. (I don't care which way a given Californian votes. Collective responsibility is the nature of our democratic system. And calling it a "republic" doesn't change that.)

My statement in the title is not necessarily that of the host of this video. Doesn't matter, I'm still right. COMMENT : Perhaps the law should be changed, but not what Colbert has in mind, I'm sure. Had Rittenhouse been of age to carry a concealed weapon, he would still have had the means to protect himself, yet things may have happened differently. I personally see flexibility on age limits in our constitutional jurisprudence, but it's a consideration.

  MY COMMENT 1. MY COMMENT 2.

Age of majority has long been a flexible issue in Western society. It can range from 14 (sex), 16 (driving and some non-firearm weapons), 18 (most things, including long guns), and 21 (handguns, long guns in some jurisdictions). The TDF argument is at some provision must be made for 18 year olds to possess defensive arms in the home and travel, though it need not be a handgun. The young man Rittenhouse was rightly exonerated of all charges in his acts of self-defense against racial agitators during the 2020 racial insurrection. The gun charge--possession by a minor--was tossed due to the law actually only applying to short-barreled rifles and shotguns. While the SBR provision is arguable on constitutionality (SBS's are sure to be held to be more criminally suited, and there is long-standing jurisprudence allowing for restrictions in that area), this event shows the benefit in actually following the law when it is not an impediment on the core principle of RKBA.
