Vox Writer Dylan Matthews Advocates Civil War

Realistically, a gun control plan that has any hope of getting us down to European levels of violence is going to mean taking a huge number of guns away from a huge number of gun owners.
Other countries have done exactly that. Australia, for example, enacted a mandatory gun buyback that achieved that goal, and saw firearm suicides fall as a result. But the reforms those countries enacted are far more dramatic than anything US politicians are calling for — and even they wouldn’t get us to where many other developed countries are.
Always remember that. The progressives who really understand what’s going on know that in order to disarm the American public would require taking a “huge number of guns away from a huge number of gun owners.”
But here his understanding stops, because he thinks the American people will acquiesce to a buyback. Either this is a red herring or he’s stupid.
It may be a red herring and he knows there will be untold bloodshed and doesn’t care, or he’s stupid and thinks that something that worked in Australia will work here, where armed resistance is the amelioration for tyranny, always has been, and always will be. Or said another way, being armed is the amelioration for tyranny if and only if it is exercised, and apparently the Australian people didn’t want to go down that road, being “subjects of the crown” and all of that.
We won’t give up our guns. If Dylan knows that, then he also knows that the notion that confiscating guns wouldn’t end bloodshed – it would cause it to crescendo into a river of red. But be careful, Dylan. If you’re not armed, you won’t fare well in a period of armed resistance. Fair winds and following seas isn’t the way your life will be described.

It’s too bad that comments aren’t being accepted to Dylan Matthews essay, I would have assisted in his enlightenment.
The basic response to essays like Matthew’s holds, “No, your move”.

The drop in firearms related deaths is not attributable to the buyback. New Zealand saw the same drop without gun confiscation.

As has been said many times to this sort of thing:
“Turn in your guns.”
“No. Your move.”

As much as these articles madden me, it is very good when they just drop their mask. It neatly counters all the useful idiots who scream, “Nobody is coming after your guns!”

I think they are preaching to the choir, and I think they know it. The recent success of ‘The Hunger Games’ series of movies very vividly displayed a society in which only the authorities have weapons, and I am sure the lesson was not lost on the bulk of those who watched: a disarmed society is an oppressed society and only those with guns or special favor eat well.
We rail against those who mouth threats against our ability to fight back, but we know, don’t we, that it’s all just words. Disarming 100 million people who already have 350 million guns and 200 billion rounds of ammo is not something that’s going to happen quickly or soon or without a great deal of bloodshed from exactly the class of people who think it can’t happen to them.

He should check his history. Bill Clinton’s rules of engagement included the press. That would make him a fair target.

FYVM, oh, and ES&D too.

Huh.
Maybe the European levels of violence are more due to having higher levels of Europeans living in European countries.
However, the phrase “What difference, at this point, does it make?” comes to mind, as Sweden is now the capitol of grenade attacks, despite grenades being very illegal there.
Must be another one of the “correlation is not causation” arguments that I’m making, and I’m an Ebil Hwite Man for noticing it…

Just another (pathetic) Example of a libtard advocating for something that the beta-males like himself are Incapable of Enforcing… Never Mind how F**kd his kind will be when the “Troubles” get started.
I’m beginning to Wonder if the bolsheviks have any Idea as to how Badly their ‘program’ is headed for Disaster.
“Your Move”

What the aussie reporters didn’t report was… After gun confiscation took place…only from law abiding citizens…criminals did not turn in, or lose a single gun. Gun related crimes increased over 400%. crop and animal losses due to unopposed predation cost Australia more than any gains from the gun seizures. It was, and is, a major lose/lose situation.

Please keep in mind that this is by no means the first instance where the national Socialist Left has advocated gun confiscation. Although it was written only a few months ago and needs updating, it does provide one with a good list to eviscerate the “We’re not talking about taking guns away from people” LIE:
