In Chicago, where I practiced law for some time, despite some laws that strictly prohibit private handgun ownership, gangs and criminals have as many guns as they want, bought on the black market....The only people who ever get in trouble for that are honest white folks....I suspect that it's the same in most cities....to quote Dickens, "the law is an ass."
"It will take a revelation more than a revolution to return to the lives we should be leading. It will take, I’m convinced, some catastrophe as absolutely destructive of any semblance of law and order, a wiping away of organized government to build again on a proper foundation. I say this because it’s not just the state of politics that is wrong, but also the state of the economy, the state of morality, the state of religion (I mean gay pastors praying for Islamification is a step too far), the state of and use of the military, the state of the judiciary, etc. But what will it take?"
----To fulfill your reasonable requirements, the 'revelation' would best start with a revolution sparked by spontaneous combustion; a general agreement on principles understood, not negotiated, similar to the beliefs you share with local Hispanics. By the time people as disparate as we, even in agreement on some important things, cobble together a basis for agreement that would support such action, the State would either snuff us out or have moved on to something impenetrable.
Today's governing body is what the founders envisioned when they produced the second amendment.
The communists in modern government turned technology inward to monitor every aspect of information flow from the people to the databases. Algorithms became the jackboots on the necks of the populace, watching and organizing every move. Technology meant for protecting us from terrorism gradually turned inward to spy on the people. No greater example of this was shown than by the J6 rally in DC where thousands of attendees were harassed by the FBI for months afterward. This was a warning not to congregate with like minded people because they knew who you were and where you lived.
Silently, Obama purged the leaders of the military with a loyalty test to make sure no patriots were left in positions to threaten the real insurrectionalists of the country. There will be no coup led by military commanders exercising the oath taken for centuries. It was forgotten with the next breath taken. The mission now is the next star or bar on the shoulder grooming for a retirement job with the MIC.
The last vestiges of a return to the constitutions original intent ended not by a foreign enemy, but the enemy within spearheaded by a media that once was the gatekeeper of liberty. RIP America, your days are numbered.
The sellouts, betrayals, lies, deceptions, thievery, grifts, and character assassinations will continue until the (real) American people finally band together and begin taking heads... literally. The Tree needs watering and the nation needs a cleansing unlike any other. We either do it ourselves or other nations will do it for us.
"The firearm restriction laws, therefore, are to protect the criminals from the people..."
Absolutely, and plenty of the politicians and bureaucrats, from local through federal, are part of that criminal class. Oh I believe there are plenty who are just cogs in the machine, and I know a few personally. They are just trying to put food on the table and keep the lights on, while keeping their heads down. Ultimately, I don't think the Blob, Deep State, or whatever you wish to call it can be voted out, bargained with, or even talked to. They are doing what is best for themselves, and screw those who get in the way. Eventually it will end, and as much as I wish it were otherwise, I fear it will end badly. All I can do is keep with the plan I started 20 years ago, by doing my best to ensure me and mine survive. It may be futile, but having no plan, hoping for the best, and trusting in government to be my keeper, is a definite loser.
First off, NEVER on the guns! Don't let em' have a single thing! Defy as required.
For the most part, politicians have little REAL LIFE experience. They study politics in college, then they run for office, then another, then another. So all they know is politics and the quest for power. Therefore, it is time to TAKE ALL POWER AWAY FROM THE POLITICIANS and make them do what we DIRECT them to do. The PARTY Caucuses must have no say whatsoever. ELIMINATE the PARTIES. I guess on the 28th of March, there was a no Kings day. Well, the people are speaking, but I think they're not protesting the whole story, because they're protesting against Trump. What the people really should be demanding is exactly as I said above. Take all power from all of them. Haven't I heard in some 250 year old document that the power resides in the people? Rise up folks!
Finally people, return to the leadership of God and beware the chareletan preachers because they are as corrupt as the politicians.
