The Most Important Lesson of the Iran War Is to Buy Guns and Ammo<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s remarkable how the real world always illustrates the Founders\u2019 wisdom, graphically and undeniably. Take the current situation in Iran. It\u2019s a country with a great history, full of intelligent people run by a bunch of backward, semi-human savages with a ridiculous apocalyptic theology that is so brutal it killed 30,000 or so of its own people a few months ago just to stay in power.<\/p>\n

And now it\u2019s still in power, at least over its own people, despite the United States and Israel righteously devastating its conventional military capabilities. You can sync its navy, shoot down its Air Force, and smash its missiles; the power on the ground requires contending power on the ground. Our glorious alliance with Israel – suck on that podcast dorks \u2013 cannot kill every goat molester with an AK-47 and a conviction that the more he murders, the more virgins he gets.<\/p>\n

That job belongs to the people of Iran, and unfortunately, they don\u2019t have the tools to do it. They are disarmed, and therefore, they are serfs, not citizens, much like the English and Australians. In Iran, the answer to the problem of securing freedom and justice is the same as it is here in America and everywhere else:<\/p>\n

Guns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Guns are freedom. Guns are liberty. Guns are the last bulwark \u2013 a real one, not one that enjoys watching the pool boy cavort with his wife \u2013 of freedom. Of course, it\u2019s not actually guns that secure freedom. It\u2019s violence. Some dumb people will tell you violence never solves anything.<\/p>\n

The only people who can tell you violence never solves anything are people for whom the problem of violence has been solved by other people who know what the hell they\u2019re talking about and who use violence to solve the problem of violence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You know, like in America. Only in a place like America can people be so safe and secure and prosperous \u2013 something secured by men with guns \u2013 that they can belittle and be right those who do the dirty work of doing so. It\u2019s particularly galling that those who benefit from freedom use their freedom to trash the way \u00a0those who give it to them do so.<\/p>\n

And who gives people freedom in America? Well, technically, it\u2019s God who gives Americans their freedom. The right to be free was endowed by our Creator and is not granted at the whim and will of mere mortals in government or elsewhere.<\/p>\n

But having a right doesn\u2019t mean anything unless you can defend that right, unless you can protect that right from people who would take it away from you. The people of Iran have a God-given right to be free and look at them. They live or die at the whim of a bunch of psychotic primitives who pack heat and have ensured that they can\u2019t. Freedom without firepower is just words.<\/p>\n

In America, we are free because We the People maintain the ability to use violence against those who would suppress us. Yeah, the government has cops and an Army. That\u2019s about 2 million or 3 million people who can be put on the street to suppress us, should the government choose to do so. But it\u2019s outnumbered by about 30 to one by Americans with a rifle in their closet.<\/p>\n

A lot of dumb people will tell you that normal people can\u2019t stand up against a military that is turned against the people, even with privately owned firearms. Hollywood is famous for trying to\u00a0run down the idea<\/a>\u00a0of armed citizens protecting themselves, their families, their communities, and their culture with firearms.<\/p>\n

But, even putting aside the fact that a significant part of the military is never going to turn on its brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, and friends in order to impose the will of some dictator, there\u2019s no way to get past the tactical problem posed by being outnumbered 30 to 1 by members of a culture that, in its genes, loves to fight.<\/p>\n

If you give the government a monopoly on violence, you give the government a monopoly on power. And that\u2019s exactly the opposite of what our Founders wanted and what our Creator directed. That\u2019s because violence is power. Violence underlies every human relationship. Oh, that doesn\u2019t mean we regularly go out there and beat the crap out of each other. Manifestations of violence are not particularly common here.<\/p>\n

Some people may have never gotten in a fistfight \u2013 sadly, those seem to be senior members of the Republican Party \u2013 and others may not have thrown fists since junior high. But the reality is that our system is based on violence. In theory, if you do a bad thing, people with guns will come and stop you or arrest you.<\/p>\n

And while this doesn\u2019t necessarily apply to degenerates in blue cities, where scumbags are allowed to wreak havoc, while citizens protecting themselves are mercilessly prosecuted, it does apply in general. And it applies in the macro. When all hell breaks loose, Americans have the ultimate veto on government overreach by breaking out their AR15s – I\u2019ve\u00a0written about how that works in practice<\/a>. It\u2019s ugly, but no one ever said freedom was free.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why Democrats hate our AR15s, because it limits their power. The first thing that CIA fraud Abigail Spanberger did in taking office was work to disenfranchise 50% of Virginians. The second thing she did was work to take away their guns. If you don\u2019t see how those two things are linked, you\u2019re either not looking or you support it.<\/p>\n

The people of Iran don\u2019t have guns, and therefore, they can\u2019t fight. The people in Iran can\u2019t be free because they can\u2019t fight. A people who can\u2019t fight can\u2019t be free. That may not be how the unmarried cat lady third-grade teacher who forces her kids to celebrate Kwanzaa wants reality to be, but that\u2019s how reality is. If we don\u2019t have our guns, we don\u2019t have our freedom, and the Democrats don\u2019t want us to have freedom.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re currently giving a tongue bath to Hassan Piker, a guy who says Hamas is great, that the most terrible thing to happen in the last half-century is the fall of the Soviet Union, and that we deserved 9\/11. Mainstream Democrats \u2013 there are no moderate ones now \u2013 are all over him and his bizarre, communist ideology. Think about that guy in power. Think of that guy with no check on his power.<\/p>\n

Can you think of any reason why he and his pals wouldn\u2019t happily slaughter you to maintain their power? The dude just told you he thought we deserved planes flying into our buildings. If you want to put yourself at his mercy, go for it, but count the rest of us out.<\/p>\n

The undeniable fact is that fanatics will slaughter anyone in their path to keep it, but they can\u2019t slaughter you if you can fight back. We\u2019ve seen what it looks like in Iran when a people can\u2019t fight back. It\u2019s a bloody mess. But the best way to avoid that bloody mess is to deter it. The only way to deter it is to guarantee that the killers will be lying dead themselves, and the only way to guarantee that is to guarantee the right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

Our Founder understood this undeniable reality. The only people who don\u2019t are either stupid or think you are.<\/p>\n
