Gun Control

**Gun control** refers to policies and legal restrictions that restrict and regulate the possession of firearms among the general public imposed by governments. While the stated purpose of gun control is supposedly public safety, history has shown that the true purpose of restricting firearms ownership by the general population has more to do with preventing insurrection or challenges to political power, as governments are the biggest perpetrators of gun crime.

## Overview

The 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution was written to ban the federal government from regulating weapons in general, not just firearms.

*A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.*

During the early days of the Republic, as well as during colonial times, it was common for states and towns to maintain their own militias, and up until the American Civil War, the defense of the nation was largely decentralized. Such practices stemmed from the Old Testament, where God required all able-bodied Israelite men aged 20 years and older to serve in the army (Numbers 1:1-3). The army of the Nation of Israel was decidedly a decentralized militia, rather than a full-time professional force commanded by a king.

## Effects of Gun Control

Gun control legislation has largely been ineffective at preventing crime. Contrary to popular belief, the homicide rate of the United States is around 4-7 per 100,000 persons, which is extremely low by world standards. The rates of most states hover between 0.5 to 11 per 100,000 persons, with New Hampshire, Wyoming, Kansas, Maine, Utah, Idaho, and Montana having some of the lowest rates despite having the most permissive laws. Homicide rates in those states rank below 3 per 100,000 persons.

Countries with permissive gun laws such as the United States, Switzerland, Austria, and the Czech Republic enjoy considerably lower homicide rates than many other nations with stricter gun laws, including the Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and South Africa.

### Causes of violent crime

Actual evidence points to several facts that are not politically correct and rarely, if ever discussed by the mainstream media and politicians. Statistics show that while black Americans compose around 13% of the United States population as a whole, they commit over half of all violent crimes, including homicides. The maps on the right show a strong correlation between the black population of each state and the homicide rates.

The reasons for the exceptionally high rates of violent crime commission by blacks can be explained by the following factors:

* Promiscuity. Research shows that 30% to 70% of sexually transmitted diseases occur among the black population.
* Family history. Youths who grow up without a father in a home (particularly if the father is incarcerated) are much more likely to commit crimes.
* A culture that glorifies immorality. While not all blacks are criminals, it is interesting to note that the vast majority of black homicide victims have been killed by other blacks, and that whites are simply a miniscule threat. That, coupled with the high rates of incarceration, promiscuity, and irresponsible behavior among blacks, causes the black community to have much higher crime rates.

Despite such glaring statistics and evidence, no politician has ever advocated for banning blacks from owning firearms, even though statistically, such a policy would make the most sense. The politically correct culture has made it illegal to expose the truth, and the authoritarian woke culture constantly brainwashes the public with lies such as diversity, which is a code word for Muslim, Hispanic, and Black supremacy.

Instead, anti-gun politicians and totalitarians advocate largely useless measures such as raising the minimum age of firearm purchases to 21, even though statistics show nothing meaningful about 21 or 25, the magic numbers people often believe to be when a person transforms into a mature adult. Restricting ownership of AR-15 rifles and other "assault weapons" has largely been ineffective, as those weapons are almost never used in crimes.
