On 4-20-23, the Seattle Times posted: "WA’s momentous new gun laws draw a line | Editorial", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
If you must brag about your gun-toting rights and harangue those citizens who see your radical rights arguments as callous, stop and consider this. Those citizens may be quite content with our organized militia consisting of military and police as adequately armed for their protection. And your wimpy arguments that our government lacks what you see as necessary has become quite tiring and unproven.
Why would you think we'd put any trust in your like-minded cadre that proved on January 6th that a radical agenda for change by force, (to install a loser), could have involved an assault on that organized militia who were there charged with just protecting the orderly transfer of power provided for in our Constitution? And really, has there been any of those hundreds of prosecuted participants found not guilty because their cause was right?
Let's face it, the millions of dollars spent by the National Rifle Association to support the gun industry and like-minded legislators, (millions of dollars), does not come close to equating to those who profess being legitimate gun owners paying dues. Yes, the NRA is one of those dark money outlets that care more about creating chaos in the country than the safe practice of firearm uses and controls. What possible benefit comes from having more firearms manufactured and sold in this country than its number of citizens?
We have rules of sale that are so loose that straw buyers can purchase and resale, (without traceability), to the very element that shouldn't have them? Been to a gun show lately? Seen any sales that concerned anything but the exchange of cash? Let's face it, the gun owner lobby's got problems. And instead of a fix they just want to blame you for not being manly enough.
Well, I've had my say, and frankly if you find reason to fault my thinking, be assured I've lived a good life. I've served my country, paid my taxes, and respected my neighbors. I've traveled and experienced other societies, (even a communist one), and found without fail that it you get past their government's claims and excuses, the whole world of citizens only want to be left in peace and have the opportunity to realize their own potential. And not by the cause of a gun.
