> LETTER TO A GUN-GRABBER: THE WRATH TO COME
> By Victor Milan <vicmilan@ix.netcom.com>
> Exclusive to _The Libertarian Enterprise_
>
> I'm here to deliver an indictment -- and a warning.
>
> You speak of "gun control legislation." What a world that conveys! Ah,
> democracy, the Great Insulator: it enables you to commit crimes without
> exposing yourself to physical or moral payback. You can impose your will
> on others at gunpoint -- which is rape, and also politics -- but without
> having to dirty your precious palm with an actual gun, not to mention risk
> actually getting hurt.
>
> Our society calls this "citizenship." I name it cowardice and hypocrisy.
>
> Let's get real: what you want is for mercenaries -- paid in part by
> wealth looted from gun owners -- to do your bidding by disarming us at
> gunpoint: kicking down our doors, stomping our pets to death, killing us
> and our families if we resist complying with your desires. That's about
> the size of it, isn't it, Mr. Democracy?
>
> Because we will _not_ flop onto our backs and let you stick it in. The
> gun owners of America will not disarm themselves. If you want our guns you
> must come and take them.
>
> I take for granted that you won't try this yourself: that would be
> exposing yourself to harm. And it would be, rest assured.
>
> Instead you'll send hirelings. Or should we perhaps call them
> scapegoats? For you imagine they can absorb your sins -- including the
> additional sin of exposing others to risks you're too craven to take
> yourself -- and leave you pure and safe and infinitely holier than Neil or
> Vin or I or scum of our ilk.
>
> We will not be disarmed peaceably. It is illegal. It is immoral.
> Ultimately it would be fatal. For if we are disarmed, our property and
> lives become entirely dependent upon the judgement and humanity of those
> who rule us.
>
> For some reason this puts me irresistibly in mind of the "medical"
> experiments carried out in Nazi concentration camps. That's what happens
> when humans are placed irremovably under the control of others. When the
> minions of the benevolent State can act without any fear of consequences.
>
> Don't imagine it's any different here. You obviously believe there are
> evil, slavering, kill-crazy freaks in the world -- it's how you see us gun
> owners, no? It's how Charles "Julius Streicher" Schumer and Morris
> "Goebbels" Dees portray us. Are you absolutely confident that _no one_ who
> resembles your vision of us will ever occupy a position of power in your
> disarmed America?
>
> Dream on.
>
> Consider Waco. Passing up opportunities to capture David Koresh on his
> frequent and predictable solo trips out of Mt. Carmel, declining an
> invitation from Koresh to come out and inspect his guns, BATF deliberately
> chose to stage a firefight at a church filled with women and children --
> the flashier and bloodier, the better the media play. They were willing to
> kill kids for appropriations.
>
> Maybe you're still in denial over Waco. Maybe you think it's all "right
> wing anti-government hate;" the pro-government hate groups certainly want
> you to believe that. So maybe you're a good German and accept what you're
> told.
>
> But I challenge you: look into a mirror. Look into your soul. Do you
> _really_ want the men who made the plans, sent the troops, or pulled the
> triggers at the Seventh Day Adventist Church outside Waco to have absolute
> power over you? Would you like for the confessed felon from the FBI who
> destroyed an internal critique of the Bureau's handling of Ruby Ridge --
> for fear that the man they had set out to destroy every bit as thoroughly
> might be able to use it to ensure himself a fair trial -- to have the power
> to poke his finger against your name on a computer screen and say, "This
> one dies"? _That's the power you want to give him._
>
> Think it'll never come to that? You're probably right. Let's say you
> win: your mercenaries disarm us. _Then what?_ You have the votes, and the
> warm fuzzy sense of accomplishment.
>
> They have the guns.
>
> In which case you're _slaves_, mother******. As we are, so shall you
> be. You shall know the feel of a suppressed MP5 muzzle in your ear and a
> jackboot's **** up your ***. That's the price of being conquered, always.
>
> Though you will have raped us, plundered us, enslaved us, and killed us
> by proxy, by proxy we will have our vengeance. Through the agency of your
> own myrmidons. Your hash will be settled long before you have to worry
> about Michael Kahoe or Larry Potts in charge of the Bureau of Population
> Reduction.
>
> Yes, the world is becoming more "democratic." It's also filling up with
> strife. Your democracy is upheld by bayonets -- like all political power.
> The brute truth we see around the globe -- from Somalia, where US and UN
> troops disarmed the common folk and left them to be butchered in thousands
> by bandits, to central Africa where megamurder is brewing fresh, to Kabul
> where over a million unarmed citizens cower in shadows praying for
> deliverance from a few thousand religious cranks with Kalashnikovs, and
> that their deliverers don't exact a greater price than Taliban -- is this:
> only those with guns _count_. The rest are livestock.
>
> So hear my warning: fear the wrath to come.
>
> And it's not even _ours._ We'll never hurt you, unless testosterone
> poisoning actually induces you to get off your futon and try to grab our
> guns yourself. And we both know that won't happen.
>
> You are bringing on a civil war. _You_ are, because of your sick need
> to dominate, because you cannot bear to let others live who are different
> from you. You will not like the results.
>
> Because if civil war does come, you'd best hope we win. That's
> specifically we libertarian types; in the society we'd build, you would be
> perfectly free to spew your anti-gun hate: only if you tried to put your
> ideas into effect would you be at risk -- like any violent criminal. If the
> populists or conservatives dominate -- well, you'll just have to go along
> with whatever they want, because they have the guns and you have your self-
> righteousness, and guess which wins.
>
> But above all things pray _your_ side doesn't win. Because then you'll
> learn the hideous truth: your selfless servitors, those ninja-clad
> upholders of democracy, are really Jeffrey Dahmer with a Black & Decker,
> and you're an Asian teen.
