I am worn out. Almost feeling defeated.
I don't want to have to spend so much time talking about the stupidity of further violating liberty in the name of "safety". I don't want to have to talk about the self evident truth that you don't protect anyone by disarming them, and that bad guys don't care what your rules are- they are perfectly willing to violate the Zero Aggression Principle in the most hideous ways imaginable, so any more rules are less than nothing to them.
I know I have to gird my loins for a fight I don't want, didn't ask for... and can't afford to lose.
I was already emotionally exhausted because of an event that happened on December 19, nine years ago, which I have never recovered from. Every time that date rolls around the pain washes over me and I feel close to drowning. Plus, this year it is even more overwhelming due to factors I won't mention.
The deaths of those innocent kids in Connecticut, plus all the insane debates, and even some misguided (and utterly disgusting) "support" for them, cuts me to the bone. But, just like watching a predator coming through a village, and seeing it eating children as it makes its way to my house, I know I don't have the luxury of grief- because my house is right in the path. Sure, the lead predator is dead (good riddance, Filth!) but his pack (congress, president, and the rest of the anti-liberty bigots) is smelling blood and is even more dangerous than he was.
We fight or we die.
Don't back us into corners, and don't give us reasons to believe we have nothing left to lose. But, it may already be too late for that.
I know more anti-gun "laws" are coming. I will not comply. In fact, if I find I am accidentally complying with any now, I may stop. I have had enough. I am too tired to worry about your "laws". I am angry. I have no intention of pretending the anti-liberty bigots have any legitimacy to their "arguments" at all. They enable mass murder. Period. Disgusting vermin.
I had to drop out of some discussions on Facebook, because I was just pissing people off. Even good people, who I agree with. My diplomacy is at an all-time low ebb. I have no patience left right now for those who seek to appease evil.
So I should probably just shut up until I feel more patient.

Hawk, I'm certainly not one of those who "..seek to appease evil.." -- I think you know that. But at the same time I can't let "evil" psychopaths have the power over me that they desire and will receive if I cave in and whine and moan over their machinations and attempts to encroach upon my freedom.
ReplyDeleteI am a sovereign state. I'm constantly aware of the predators about who would like nothing more than to find a weakness in my sovereignty. They will attempt to pry the hole larger and wider.
I refuse to give emotional control to those sovereignty defeaters. They're power is limited. Let them "pass laws" and encourage the passage thereof.
Like you, if I wish to carry I'll do so. If I wish to blow a reefer, that's what I'll do. It will do me not one whit of good to complain about their "laws" or the hordes of folks who would like to interfere in my life to make me "comply".
I just quietly do what I need to do. I have no fear of speaking up -- they're too stupid to recognize truth anyhow, but many of my family, neighbors and friends are not. With some of them I will in time be able to communicate.
Meanwhile, my duty is to me. You do not have to agree with me to fulfill me. We can be friends and seek truth together even when maintaining differences.
Don't let the bastards getcha down.
