The 32-page study, which is titled “Defending Democracy: Addressing the Danger of Armed Insurrection,” not only revisits and revises the Jan. 6th protest – even though no protesters were armed and the only casualty was 35-year-old Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by Capitol Police – it resurrects actual armed insurrections from American history, such as Shays’ Rebellion of 1786, the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791 and the American Civil War.

Johns Hopkins: More Gun Control Needed to Prevent Second Civil War
A recent report by the Center for Gun Violence Solutions, which is part of Johns Hopkins (Michael) Bloomberg School of Public Health, conflates private gun ownership with armed insurrection in order to advocate for expanded gun control.

Then there are those of us out here thinking. List the steps to start a civil war.
ReplyDeleteDumb fuckers don't understand that their actions are exactly the reason for the 2nd Amendment.
ReplyDeleteThe same institution of experts that backed up expanded the covid lockdowns.
ReplyDeleteThis is what the left wants: ONLY guns for CRIMINALS: https://youtu.be/2h_WG6B47jc
ReplyDeleteThere were two ladies killed that day. Say her name - Rosanne Boyland. She was beat to death by the stinkin cops.
ReplyDeleteAshli Babbitt wasn’t killed by Capital Police, she was MURDERED by Lt Michael Byrd.

DeleteWow is all I have this morning
ReplyDeleteThey mis-spelled the title. It should read "Defending Democrats...." - Democrats do not believe in democracy as evidenced by their cheating in rigging elections to subvert the real will of the people.
ReplyDeleteLike the water cascading on rocks the left keeps eroding the constitution away. They are dedicated neurotic, obsessed power-hungry control freaks. It's what they live for every moment of their waking day and dream of every moment they sleep. They will never ever stop. Their behavior is the yin part of the yin/yang human ability to reason duality. In the meantime us "conservatives are to occupied with the bread & circuses like sports, big ego boosting vehicles, electronic toys and the internet. While we enjoy our pleasures their every ounce of energy is decidated to destroying us.
ReplyDelete"they will never ever stop"... Bogside, they will stop once we assist them in reaching room temperature. We are simply slow in grasping the truth that violence is the only thing that will make them see sense. "They" have used it against us, although through their proxies... the coming kinetic disagreement will thus surprise them, as the disagreement will visit their front door. No proxies, us versus them. They asked for it, what's coming is a reckoning
DeleteWork on curing cancer or other real sickness. You might still have peoples respect!
ReplyDeletePaul J
President Nixon started the “war on cancer”. But, despite major improvements in Cancer care, a cure for most types is still evasive.
DeleteFunny how a lot of cancers can be treated like diabetes is treated, but not cured. Almost like there is a financial incentive to not cure cancer.

ReplyDelete“Shall not be infringed”
ReplyDeleteI’m sure that many of the people involved in drafting the Constitution would be puzzled, “But armed insurrection against a oppressive government is the whole point “
ReplyDeleteThe Whiskey Rebellion was about economics and rich people stepping on poorer farmers. Pretty crappy overall.
I would sign in to yahoo for my mail. If there was anything completely stupid in yahoo and they wanted someone to back it up, the backup was done by john hopkins or harvard.
ReplyDeleteBack in 1964 or so (probably sometime after the Kennedy assignation where Oswald used a gun he'd ordered through the mail) the issue of gun control came up between my dad and a few of his friends one evening. I, a wee lad at the time, was tolerated among the men, as long as I kept my mouth shut and cause no problems. I have always remembered my dad's take; for some reason it resonated with me even at that age. He said, "I have no problem with gun registration; I'll register a couple." He explained: let's say that on average 100,000 guns have been sold per year for the last 100 years. This is a very conservative in a country the size of the U.S. 100 year-old guns still use ammunition available today, so they are viable weapons. Let's stipulate for the sake of argument that 50,000 guns per year are somehow destroyed. That still leaves 5,000,000 unregistered guns in the hands of civilians. You are never going to get guns out of the hands of Americans. Ever.
ReplyDeleteEver? What if they promise you that you no longer will be forced to wear a facemask and get quarterly booster shots for whatever disease they come up with if you give up your guns?
DeleteWould you give up your guns then?
(Or buy more?)
🤔🤔🤫🤫😇😇🙂🙂
As my dad said, I'll give them a couple...but they have no way of knowing how many more I might have.
DeleteAnon @ 8:05 PM
DeleteOh yeah? Juxtaposed to everything else they know about you, your willingness to give them a couple guns is suspicious, out of place, quite odd.
They reason, he has more. That he gave up two indicates he has multiples of more.
Let's see; past purchases show this and that caliber, this new trigger, that optics. A holster, a sling, new gun cleaning kit.
Even though you paid cash for every purchase, video shows you visiting this store. In-store video shows your many visits.
Of course, there is your pal, Form 4473. But I only purchase face to face, private sales. Pay cash too.
Hmmm, we see you made several withdrawals the day before or the day of that 'hidden' purchase.
Truth is, you put yourself on their radar when you gave up a coupla guns.
In America, the mean average per gun owner is, what?, six guns or so. Therefore, it is reasonable to figure that giving up two in the false belief of having sated fed leviathan, you must be hanging on to more.
And somewhere, sometime, yiu made a comment about this or that gun which you own. The internet is forever. You may have forgotten but they haven't.
If King George only would have created gun laws to prevent the first one from happening we would all still be called 'serfs'.
ReplyDeleteHe tried.
DeleteGC will start the CW.
ReplyDeleteI am and have been a follower and HUGE FAN of Kenny's blog for bout 20 years now , but still just a random Canadian Patriot ... Lot's of us up here too on your side guys/gurls/Patriots ... GVMNT is never your friend , always and only trying to fool the sheeple into being there to help, while fleecing them the whole time through , over and over ... But yet I must still be old enough to have been raised with a sense of honour/dignity/common sense, still remember and honour the memory/history of a rather small bunch of anarchists/individualists that fought and won a war for the freedoms , for every man/woman and individual to have the right to be free as long as they , nor GVMNT infringed upon anyones , right to live/choose/... Not to mention any/all wars that have been fought since in the name of freedom ( not that they all were , but in name only , kinda like RINO's ,besides being a collossal waste of time/blood, $$$/resources as most wars always are ) ... I gotta ask , WTF happened to our love of freedom/individual liberties that society has become so F,n damn complacent to tolerate all this BS ??? ... signed : A very dissapointed Canadian Patriot ( btw , Hi Al in Ottowa , I'm not that far away from you , lol )
ReplyDeleteTime for Rush Limbaugh's wall. Put those opposed to the second amendment in with those who commit gun crimes. Put those in favor of the Second Amendment in with gun owners who do not commit crimes. Opposition to the Second Amendment wouldn't last long.
ReplyDeleteThe attempted confiscation of guns from Protestants was one cause of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. After the Protestants drove out King James II, the new Parliament passed The English Bill of Rights of 1689 which states in part -
ReplyDeleteThat it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal;
That levying money for or to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative, without grant of Parliament, for longer time, or in other manner than the same is or shall be granted, is illegal; (Taxation without representation, in other words)
That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law; (King James II and his court were all Catholics so they started disarming the Protestants)
That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted; (Bloody Mary had 276 Protestants burned at the stake in the 1550s)
That jurors ought to be duly impanelled and returned, and jurors which pass upon men in trials for high treason ought to be freeholders; (Trial by jury)
That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void; (Civil asset forfeiture, anyone?)
80 plus years later, the crown levied taxes against the colonies and tried to confiscate guns in New England triggering the American Revolution.
What do the experts at John Hopkins think is going to happen when today's US government tries to confiscate guns? There's a reason that the founding fathers started the tradition of swearing to uphold the constitution and not the government.
