September 11, 2001, was our new Pearl Harbor. One administration after another, regardless of political affiliation, has run unwarranted wiretapping and spying programs, wars of aggression and occupation, censorship of speech, drone strikes, etc. The twin towers, esoterically speaking, represent the root cause of this tyranny: the destruction of science and philosophy, beauty and strength, honesty and courage. In their place has been erected fallacy and suspicion of everyone.

Nevertheless, even those who ramble on about rights, like ‘to bear arms’, miss the point entirely when they make the issue about guns. The 2nd Amendment is an issue of “arms”, which properly defined in 18th-century language means a weapon of self defense. This could just as well mean your hands. There is thus immense confusion over the constitution, and the differences between civil liberties and civil rights, and a republic and democracy. Even if 51% vote to ban guns, this act of democracy is still unconstitutional and illegal. So tyrants have taken another approach, claiming that ‘rights’ are not absolute.

Michelle Grisham, governor of New Mexico, issued a public health order on September 8th, 2023, suspending legal possession of a firearm for thirty days within the state where there are, in a city or county, “1,000 or more violent crimes per 100,000 residents.” She acknowledged in a video that it is illegal but shot back with her authority to declare emergencies to override the law. She then admitted criminals won’t abide by the order, making it a direct assault on the right of self defense. She added, those rights are not absolute.

In other words, the order, which everyone knows is illegal, particularly in an emergency, is meant to set a precedent. After twenty days the order says the Department of Health will collect data on gunshot violence. As with disease data, how easy would it be to set a precedent with the order, and by the time a court or judge strikes it down, the “data” could prove how many “lives it saved.” Get the picture? Two weeks to stop the spread, thirty days to stop the crime.

The whole idea of guns being a public health emergency is also ironically contrary to push back against those who say the problem is mental illness and drugs. Yet NPR, the DCD, AMA, and others have been rambling on about guns being the source of mental illness, rather than drugs or the lack of general morals or values. And that’s what it all comes down upon.

Incentivizing crime, ordering prosecutors to not go after criminals, and refusing to enforce the law, creates an environment, on top of the lack of societal and cultural values, for which the order was issued in the first place. Create the problem out of negligence, ignorance, or vile evil, and then offer the solution, i.e., your desired outcome from the start, of striping away the perception of rights under ongoing emergencies.

Meanwhile, for someone like Grisham, who supposedly cares so much about public health, there is no emergency order on obesity, heart disease, ad infinitum. A recent study in the Journal of the American heart Association just showed that across two decades obesity related heart disease deaths alone have tripled int eh United States - a real emergency. These conditions are chronic, just as bad for children as adults, increasing by obscene numbers each year, and costing uncountable amounts to everyone. Gun suicides for black teens have also just passed white teens for the first time ever, according to Johns Hopkins. Suicides and gangs are already the root source of a majority of statistical gun violence data, yet they are, and their root sources are, ignored.
