Denial is a remote river

John Longenecker sees gun control as a fraudulent transfer of sovereignty and personal authority -- from the people to those who would rule them:

Attacks on guns are attacks on personal sovereignty to undermine the power of the People to remain in control over the country: gun control is an attack to wrest that control from the people in an immense transfer of authority, convincing people or coercing people out of it. Remove the lawful force of the people, and the rest can simply be taken unopposed.
Longenecker sees the reluctance of some Americans to defend themselves as being deliberately exploited:
Equally realistic is the fact that some Americans believe preparedness in self-defense to be an unwanted burden. Their over-reaction of being expected to grow up and protect loved ones manifests itself as name-calling gun owners as Cowboys and Vigilantes. It's merely a denial or a refusal to take responsibility for something that unavoidably belongs only to them.

For an example of this, please visit the YouTube Video Confession Of A Rat: An anti-gun newspaperman admits to his wife (and to himself) that he can't be counted on to protect her life.

'Governance' over guns and people who rise to meet their responsibility is a ruse to disarm individuals to pave the way to grow crime to the advantage of officials. In a very obvious way, the anti-gun crowd uses the crowd who refuse this burden to increase numbers of anti-gun voters. Minions. Minions by the millions.

As I say often - very often - personal disarmament is a trap for the American household and a payday for officials.

While it's tough for me to believe that people would be gullible enough to imagine the government is going to protect their homes and families (especially during emergencies), denial is a very powerful phenomenon.

It's as easy as changing the channel on the TV set.

But just try pointing your remote at the guy who just broke into your house!

UPDATE: My thanks to M. Simon at Power and Control for the link and the comment.
