Scholarships and political correctness

One of my students was filling out his application for scholarships today. One of the questions asked his race. One of the available choices?

“I self identify as being of two or more races.”

That is the one I told him to pick. He will be eligible for more money that way. Putting down that you are a Caucasian is almost certainly going to disqualify you for a lot of scholarships. It isn’t even fraud. “self identify” is not a measurable or objective standard. It allows you to be whatever you wish. Nothing will destroy the PC culture and expose it for what it is (racism against whites) faster than having the entire movement co-opted by whites who choose to self identify as something else.

An arsenal?

Cops bust a drug dealer with what they call an “arsenal” and “more ammunition than I’ve probably seen in my life,” says the cop.

What did they get?
4 ammo cans of ammo
5 handguns
3 shotguns
1 AR pattern rifle
1 SKS
and a bolt action rifle.

This is an “arsenal” and more ammo than the cop has seen in his life? I’ve taken more than that to the range on a Saturday. If I have less than 10 military cans of ammo on hand, I am low on ammo.

Apathy

The reason why these crazed mass shooters are able to commit their acts is not because we need more laws. It is because we need to enforce the ones we already have. The Waffle House shooter should never have been walking free, he should have been committed to a mental institution:

[Redacted] said he wanted to meet with US President Donald Trump and told a Secret Service officer at the northeast entrance that he was a “sovereign citizen” who had a “right to inspect the grounds,” according to a Metropolitan Police Department incident report dated July 7, 2017.

He was charged with unlawful entry, an arrest report states, but the charges were dismissed after he completed community service.

Authorities in Tazewell County, Illinois, later returned the seized weapons to [Redacted]’s father, who (according to other articles promised to keep them from him, but) then gave them back to his son, police said.

In May 2016, [Redacted] experienced a delusional episode telling first responders that he believed pop star Taylor Swift was stalking him, according to a police report.

[Redacted]’s family also told police he had made comments about killing himself.

Rights violations

Banks have been telling commercial customers that they will not do business with them any longer, if the customer sells anything that the bank doesn’t like- including so-called assault weapons, sells firearms to 18-20 year olds, and certain other products.

Following this, we are told that this is not a violation of people’s constitutional rights, because the Constitution only restrict government, not private individuals or businesses. I disagree.

It turns out that the banks in question are doing so because they are being pressured by government officials to adopt these policies. This has been a trend as of late, where government is effectively deputizing private entities to make end runs around the Constitutional protections we enjoy. For example, using the Geek Squad to peek into computers and then turn in suspected law violators. When being done at government request, searching a person’s papers and personal effects is still a violation of privacy, which is exactly what the BOR was trying to prevent.

How is it any different if the government violates you second hand or first hand? The government telling a bank to keep you from buying firearms is the same thing as the government telling you that you cannot buy them. It is still a violation of your rights.

Threats

As I predicted, Florida’s new Gun Violence Protection orders are being used to silence free speech. I was posting on the Social Media page for one of the local student anti gun marches. One of the posters on that page was saying “no one is coming to take your guns.”

I responded with: “I love how all of you keep saying “No one is coming to get your guns. WE just want to ban xxx ….”

He replied: “All of you are crazy, maybe someone SHOULD come take your guns.”

 I said: “So are you going to be one of the people kicking in doors and coming to get them? I bet not. Pussy”


To which he replied: “how about I come and take them along with the cops when they find out what u r up to. Huh? Not everyone here is afraid of you. You been practicing your bullying technique again on a women? That’s all I have to tell them, and your guns go bye-bye.”

Krystalnacht

Three months ago, the US anti-gun movement was on the ropes. We were looking at National Reciprocity, moving suppressors off the NFA list, and the gun control organizations were all but bankrupt.

Then came February 14th. Almost immediately, there was a nationwide movement of students, demanding gun control. Within days, they had national fundraising, T shirts, hats, and an organized national set of demonstrations, complete with chartered buses, appearances on national television news shows, and access to congressional hearings. All of it supposedly spontaneous and grassroots.

The high school students I teach can barely accomplish getting their homework done, so I find it very hard to believe that they have the contacts, the funds, and the organizational skills to pull off organizing an entire national political movement in only two weeks. There is BIG money involved here. The kids are being used as pawns, and they don’t even realize it.

There is a historical parallel  here, and I have been thinking for days that I have heard a similar story, but I hesitated to mention it until now, simply because the comparison has been so overdone as to make it almost a cliche.

I have been saying for quite awhile that the US is facing a coup attempt by forces that want to topple our government. In order for a revolution to be successful, there needs to be an enemy. Some group of people that can be demonized, dehumanized, and blamed for all of that society’s perceived ills. The gun owners of the US are that group.

My belief is this: The shooting on February 14, 2018 was the US version of Krystalnacht.

On the night of November 9, 1938, violence against Jews broke out across Germany. It appeared to be unplanned, set off by Germans’ anger over the assassination of a German official in Paris at the hands of a Jewish teenager. In fact, German propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and other Nazis carefully organized the pogroms. In two days, over 250 synagogues were burned, over 7,000 Jewish businesses were trashed and looted, dozens of Jewish people were killed, and Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools, and homes were looted while police and fire brigades stood by. 

We have been seeing similar hatred of gun owners for more than 2 years. Antifa beating conservatives in the streets as police watch. A school massacre that happens while the police officer charged with guarding the students standing there and watching the massacre unfold. Then, the spontaneous response of companies persecuting gun owners: Dick’s sporting goods, Youtube, and now Citi bank. Florida passed a law that allows the state to take a gun owner’s property in a secret hearing when cops allege that he is dangerous.

Things are going to get worse. If this movement continues, more businesses will be lined up and waiting to virtue signal, each one coming up with more outrageous restrictions. It wouldn’t surprise me if the NRA was a target of banks -or even government soon, especially if the democrats win a majority in Congress.

Gun owners are the new target that is to be demonized. We are all being cast as a bunch of uneducated, overweight, racist white men who are using guns to keep people of color and women from getting the justice they deserve. We are being silenced, and now attacked by business. The rail cars will come out, as soon as we are disarmed.
