Notes From HPS

A balance sheet appearing on a German government website for Armatix GmbH, the German company behind the controversial iP1 “smart” handgun, shows significant financial losses. Further, a German journalist has provided Gun Rights Examiner with documents purporting to show gun developer and Managing Director Ernst Mauch is not only no longer with the company, but that he has been banned from its facilities under threat of a criminal complaint.
The sweet smell of success. It’s all I ever wanted with “smart guns” – i.e., for the engineering value (or lack thereof) to govern the process of growing or killing the technology in the free market rather than forcing such a monstrosity on the public by edict.
“Let’s take all the guns away,” he proposes.
Think about that for a moment.
“Let’s…” he advocates. That would be he and those who believe like him, albeit odds are he’ll send a paid proxy in lieu of trying to disarm anyone himself — no matter how truly entertaining it would be to see him attempt it.
Like most advocates of confiscations, he’d never be on the deadly SWAT raids to effect such draconian measures. Which reminds me to remind you again in case you’ve forgotten. To all the LEOs who would actually do such things, you understand that the elitists don’t want any part of it, don’t you? They consider you to be knuckle-draggers and bad people and thugs. You’re just their thugs, and that makes it okay with them. Do you like being thought of that way?
The Constitution of the United States, as brilliant a document as it is, does not, cannot defend the rights it guarantees all by itself. The pen may indeed be mightier than the sword, but the sword is a great deal more effective for hacking people to death. One retains only the rights one can defend.
Yes, it’s like when folks have told me “they can’t do that, it’s a violation of the constitution.” I always respond that they (whomever they is) can do what they want until they are stopped with guns. And what if those trying to squelch free speech weren’t the bad guys affiliated with the Islamists? What if they were the guys affiliated with the government? Do you see the value in guns now?
