Guns In The Context Of The Progressive Project
BY Herschel Smith

Here’s the thing about Virginia Tech that some of us commenting at the time attempted to publicize: Nine months before the shootings, graduate student Bradford B. Wiles wrote a letter to The Roanoke Times in response to a campus manhunt for a murder suspect.
Rules against having guns are always designed for the moral amelioration of the immoral. The progressives know that law abiding men and women will follow the law, up to a point, and the liberal project of societal salvation through law-making was not intended for those who do not need it.
There are consequences for defenestration of the family and church. The progressives know full well that their rules will neither change the law-aiding nor allow him legally to defend himself. The immoral part of the progressive project is that it harms peaceable men and women, and the project masters don’t care.
The stupid part is that they believe they can change the behavior of the wicked with a new law or rule. But to what else would they turn? Without the church and family, the law is all that’s left.
