Case in point, California SB 1160, introduced on Valentine’s Day by anti-gun fanatic Anthony Portantino, which would require annual registration, with fees, for every firearm owned. The purpose given: “to remind all citizens of the civic responsibility that comes with owning a firearm.” $1,000 fine for non-compliance.

Being quasi-religious zealots, post-Bruen their fervor has only increased to punish the heretics who refuse to conform. They aren’t even pretending any more it’s about safety or reducing crime.

Zealots always make things either:or extremes. So if there is still a middle ground, it needs to denounce loudly and fast what amounts to a pogrom.

The large number of first-time gun buyers in the years since 2020 is supporting evidence for this view.

I’m an Armenian American. When the Turks invaded Armenia, they disarmed my ancestors, telling them that they could rely on the government to protect them.

Instead, the Turks slaughtered 1.5 million, innocent, men, women and children, in the most vicious, cruel, and heartless manner conceivable. My grandmother’s family was annihilated, leaving her an orphan, and she was sold as a sex slave to some Turkish official.

Every single time a government has set out on a course of genocide – Russia, Germany, Cambodia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Rwanda and Syria, they have made sure to disarm people before they began.

The Jews like to embrace the slogan “Never Again” to describe their views on their own Holocaust. Those words are meaningless, without the tools to back them up. No amount of gun control, no matter how “common sense”, is ever acceptable to those of us who have read the history of human civilization, and understand that an armed populace is the only defense against the evil that is inherent in every person’s soul.

When your opponent is not merely wrong, but actually evil, understanding his motivations is tantamount to advocating for the devil. It’s not that they don’t want to understand the evil people. It’s that they are emotionally and morally incapable of even attempting.

Every day I’m told that I’m actually evil because I care more about my “hobby” than about “dead children.” Never mind that guns aren’t my hobby and the worst thing I’ve ever done to children was trick them into taking a nap by pretending that it was a game.

There’s no middle ground. There are a lot of people who just don’t give a damn, but there’s nothing in the middle of the road but roadkill and yellow stripes.

Upon further, barn-chore inspired reflection, I’d add ‘gun accepters’ to the mix somewhere; while not fully ‘enthusiastic’, they recognize the utility of or even need for a firearm. This demographic would comprise both owners and some curious/skeptics.
