Second Amendment How and Why. What Can Happen When the Citizenry Is Made Vulnerable.
Posted by M. C. on December 26, 2012
Most do not appreciate that the second the Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting nor protection in the street mugger context. It is about protecting one’s self from malevolent government. We are living in a time of government reading all communications, TSA searches on planes and trains and beginning in 2003 the start of domestic government use of drones for spying on anyone. Going to a rally or protest? Assume you are being watched and biometrically scanned. Combine that with the government’s successful efforts in destroying our economy, but not that of their bankster buddies and it is no wonder there are those that feel they must gather protection from the government. We common folk certainly can’t expect to attack and win against the military/militarized police. Hopefully the current regime will collapse from its own folly as did the Soviet Union but without the widespread suffering. We must be capable of defending against the mobs that will ensue as a result of government generated economic and social collapse.
Here is an excellent summary of second amendment how and why. Here is what can happen when the citizenry is disarmed.
Disarmament is always a precursor to genocide.
Disarmament is mandatory for government control of the populace.
An armed guerilla citizenry is the best defense against an invading army. Our experience in Viet Nam and Afghanistan, the invaders graveyard, prove this. The greatest army in the world, the US, was summarily defeated in both places.
Murray Rothbard’s wonderful history “Conceived in Liberty” tells us what a disaster George Washington was as a commander. Washington was trained in the British military where you lined up in rows against the other guy’s rows and duked it out. His ragtag army met defeat most of the time. Victory resulted where we employed citizen soldiers, trained on the farm to shoot, that fought “Indian style”. Shooting from cover and disappearing into the woods. It was militias, the original citizen soldiers, that kept the British at bay.
Militias armed in a manner equal to the invaders (substitute drug dealers, roving gangs and home invaders in today’s world).
I agree with Gary North that we cannot even come close to overthrowing malevolent government. The real concern is it is quite obvious. The government cannot protect. Feeble attempts at control of markets and warfare-welfare mentality generate chaos that has not peaked. Indeed the government’s drug war causes more crime than it stops. As the economic and crime conditions continue to deteriorate big government will keep the peace even more ineptly than it does now. Law enforcement will devolve to local authorities and will need the help of armed citizens. Particularly when the economy double and triple dips and the gangs knock at more and more doors.
This is where an armed citizenry will be most critical in the near term.
One of the most peaceful countries on the planet mandates an armed citizenship and has a weak central government. Switzerland.
The US has the citizen armament. The government part is out of whack.

The sheeple have been dumbed down. Spoon fed propaganda for generations. They have an updated version of bread and circuses. An invasion of vermin from outside the nation that have an alien culture or none at all. Unguarded southern border. An out of touch imperial government. A justice system that does not work any longer. A sick economy that is terminal. A shrinking white middle class that is wary of the future or terrified of the future, depending on their level of awareness. Perpetual war around the World against made up enemies that we are told are everywhere. FEMA camps that are just waiting for the State of Emergency just around the corner to fill them up. I’d say we’re screwed.
