This morning on the John McDonald talk show his question was, who do you think is supporting this outpouring of support for gun control? I have been a regular caller for years and usual he ducked my question when I asked him who he thought was the national organization disciplined to pull off this protest. The answer which I am sure he knew was the Democrat Party.
They have the experience, organization, discipline and money for any rent-a-mob they wish to support to push their agenda. They know of course that there is no answer to the issue they seek to prevent. There has been a law against murder throughout history and is hasn’t stopped people committing it.
I believe the act of murder is the frustration of not getting your own way or the loss of hope in the future. It would explain not only spousal abuse but that which will face many of today’s youth when they find themselves not able to get a job, live off their parents and when they die will end up like the homeless that are increasingly populating our major cities. Fortunately they don’t realize that all they have to do is commit a crime and the government will see they get more than they have, which is nothing, because their freedom has gotten them nothing at all. The government supports the women who have children, but the men are left out in the cold. If you have watched this problem develop you cannot but realize it is an overwhelmingly male only population. If the government doesn’t create or subsidize jobs the private sector will continue to find ways to reduce human employment because it is the only variable cost they cannot control and if they cannot control it they must increase prices to recover the cost. When they face foreign competition they will ultimately go out of business or be dissuaded from starting any. It is why we are rapidly become a service economy because direct contact service can only be performed in your own country.
It is why the costs of medical care and prescription drugs, continue to rise because these are government protected monopolies. Try and get your Medicare payments if you see a cheaper doctor overseas. Or, move overseas to try and avoid the high cost of living and get your Social Security check sent to a foreign bank. You can do neither. I have a friend who has a government pension and lives overseas but has to have her retirement checks sent to a U. S. bank. The account is in her daughter’s name because she doesn’t have a U. S. address.
There is no answer to the problem but there is a way to discourage its commission to reduce it to a lower level. That is to follow the law as laid down to Moses but emasculated by governments for time immemorial. Theft of life, freedom and property was punishable by death. We have retained the law but do not exert the necessary effort to find the perpetrators and when we do, we fail to punish them. Countries that exact the severest punishment have far fewer incidents per 1000 population. If you don’t believe me, just look at the statistics.
The Democrat leadership knows full well there is no way the law can be changed to stop people killing each other for whatever reason. They are merely pandering to their base so they don’t lose them and can point to the Republicans who they brand as being against them. For the Republicans it is a no win situation. Remember, the November elections are just around the corner and they needed a cause to take the public’s mind off the Clinton debacle and the loss they have been unable to hang on Trump.
