If anyone is interested in viewing an extremely twisted literary investment from obviously one of today’s most subjectively inept writers, they only need open the Independent Journal in Marin County to the B section. An article from a few weeks ago called “Guns-they’re a smoldering public health issue”, stretches the truth so far it is sure to snap rather smartly in the author’s lap.

The writer, Dustin Ballard, has the audacity to claim that it is guns which create, and codify, the problem of violence in this nation. Truly, Mr. Ballard? If this nations citizens were to relinquish their guns, as the violence invariably took some other despicable form, who would he blame then? Should all knives be taken from the market? Maybe auto accidents will cause him to demand cars be banned as well. Possibly chicken should be snatched from every menu because some over zealous eater choked on a bite of it. Perhaps this nation should also do away with theatres because fervent adolescents engage in acts of violence when leaving a Schwarzenegger film.

These types of solutions are all indications of a mentality which insists that the cart lead the horse, or that the ends justifies the means. Truly, who will engage the question when the answer is alleged to be the problem?

Mr. Ballard actually insists that bullets are to be likened to a pathogen, carrying disease across the nation. Really now, and just what pathogen is directed specifically at one particular person? Just how many diseases stop in their proverbial path at the behest of their instigator or creator? None, that’s how many. Unless one begins to investigate the bio-weapons being employed in the world today. Maybe Ballard should write about that.

Must this nation be constantly conned into acqueiscing to the incessant whiles of fear mongering malcontents who are tantamount to some propagandistic enablers of a tyrannical government? Why must this nation be required to proclaim its innocent right to freedom, and the right to bear arms over and over again?

People must be allowed to protect themselves. There is no police force able to protect and defend anyone when the chips are down and some criminal is attempting to rob or kill someone. Police forces are only there to sweep up the pieces, and write reports. Why are so many people being raped, kidnapped and murdered like fish in a barrel? Because gun restrictions make it harder, and harder for law abiding citizens to own personal firearms for protection.

Where are most of the Uzi’s and assault rifles? In the hands of criminals that is where…military and otherwise. However, there would be a lot less murderers in jails, and more of them in graves if people were required to arm themselves for protection.

Regardless of what the media insists, as they sell violent movie upon violent and bank robbing, war glamorizing, twisted serial murder fearing movie, while simltaneously claiming it is guns which kill people. Baloney, it is the lack of guns in legal hands which proliferates mass murdering gun violence by cowards who know damned well other people in their murderous path are not armed as well.

Writers such as Mr. Ballard expose, quite explicitly, their penchant for assisting legislators who request the media implicate the many law abiding citizens of this country as the enablers of the latest in mass shootings. Indicting freedom loving citizens, hunters and household protectors for having the nerve to engage in their second amendment right to purchase firearms is insolent and contemptuous.

It would be more logical to indict the manufacturers of prescription drugs which mentally destabilize people with anti-depressants and mood altering drugs that cause people to lose control of themselves and consider murder the only viable option. Censoring violence on all forms of media wouldn’t hurt either…truly, what does this nation need such violence on television and movie screens for? Oh, that’s right, to make despicable and salacious people rich beyond any form of necessity, so that they can then attempt to control and contort entire societies…but I digress.

Mr. Ballard has made a complete mockery of the Constitution of the United States of America, and has been paid to do it. By whom, one might ask. By a community of rich authoritarian masochists who truly intend to trample the Constitution daily.

This is a community who’s lawyers will actually claim, when one demands they follow the law, that “this is Marin County, things are different here”. Really, hmmm…so, law don’t go ‘round here, huh?

Be certain that this is the way many of the residents in Marin County view the rule of law in this nation.

The Constitution of the United States of America was written for the purpose of legalizing freedom and enabling people to exercise their inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To constantly insist that this document be changed because there are people in this nation who do not respect it, is completely absurd.
