Information Central: Articles of Enduring Interest

This collection of articles are mostly what I've written on the various subjects I feel are of enduring interest and which ought to be available any time. Some are links from several of my web sites and others are links to articles on other people's sites. Others are reposts with permission. But all are important. The links are posted alphabetically by subject.

Guns and Self Defense

This should probably more correctly be under "Power Seeker Scams," since it is that: disarming the people is a necessary step. As they draw the noose ever tighter on us, the chance that we will fight back becomes ever greater. Which is why every government building is for the most part an "armed camp" where you're required to submit to a warrantless search in order to enter when they demand your presence. But since people will be looking for articles about this problem under "guns," I must give it its special place.

After Gun Control, What?

Every time real "gun control" (total disarmament of the population) has been achieved, there followed a period of mass murder in which hundreds, thousands, even millions of people were rounded up and murdered. They're trying to disarm the population of the United States. Do you think such massacres can't happen here? They already are starting and they don't even have complete disarmament yet.

Anti-Gun Lies Corrected:

The militant anti-gun freaks tell lots of lies in support of their agenda. And anti-gun politicians refuse to even read the truth. But here are facts and figures that refute most of the "anti-gun" lies, with sources for you to use in checking the assertions therein.

Drugs for Killers:

The anti-gun freaks want to use the recent spate of mass killings by teenagers to put more unconstitutional controls on our right to self-defense and to own and carry the means to accomplish it. The power seekers are also using them as a means to gain more control over us by being able to commit sane people on someone's unsupported word and forcibly drug them. This answer to a MSNBC poll notes that ten of the recent teenage killers were already on psychiatric drugs when they went in and started shooting. Gives names and places, and in most cases, the names of the specific drugs they were on at the time they "went berserk." If there was ever a better reason to stop the "social engineers" from doing any more damage, this is it.

Extortion by Example:

We've always known the "gun problem" was nothing more than an extortion scam. The same type of scam they ran on the tobacco industry, yet another legal industry from whom they extorted billions. But now they've proven it with their announcement of their own suit against gun manufacturers.

Fist Control:

This article, from another web site, absolutely destroys the premise that the "anti-gun" people are pushing: that the guns are to blame and without them, there would not be any violence. I couldn't have written a better one so I'm not going to try.

Gun Control Kills:

Gun control laws actually kill people by letting crooks know people will likely be unarmed.

Guns in Self Defense:

This will be a collection of some of the millions of stories of people who were legally armed when confronted by a criminal with an illegal gun, and the result of the confrontation. These are stories you won't read in the national media because they routinely suppress such stories, preferring to highlight stories where a (usually illegally obtained) gun is used to injure or kill someone who is unarmed and thus pretty much defenseless. The point of this page is to give you a place to go to print out such stories as examples to misguided people who have "bought" the "anti-self defense (anti-gun)" people's lies and false statistics. We will be adding to this page on a regular basis until these stories take up more room than we've got in this web site, then we'll create a new site and link to it from this page. If you come back here regularly, you'll soon have plenty of ammunition to use in any debate about self defense and gun control and the efficacy of honest citizens being armed.

Letter From A Criminal:

This is an imaginary letter. But it could have been written by just about any armed criminal out there. It is a letter of appreciation to all those who have demanded that in order to stop his depredations we must disarm his victims. To the deluded anti-self defense people who think that if we make laws banning guns they will miraculously disappear and criminals will not be armed. This probably states the foolishness of the anti-self defense position better than anything else I can name.

Not Guns, Self-Defense:

The "pro" gun people are playing into the hands of the "anti" gun people by emphasizing the "hunter" aspect in their arguments rather than the "self-defense" aspect. No one in his/her right mind would argue against the right to self-defense, but if so conditioned, will against guns. This article tells about several countries that attained the gun control our leaders envision and the bloodbaths that followed, perpetrated by the government involved.

"Rambo Granny":

In Melbourne, Australia, where guns are mostly banned, two thugs carjacked a car driven by a young girl and raped her. Her grandmother got so mad she hunted the thugs down and shot off their manhood. We think she should be punished with a severe hand-slap. You'll get a big laugh out of this answer to crime.

(The) REAL Militia:

This is a letter from the sheriff of an unnamed county in the United States to holders of concealed carry permits in his county. He is asking for their commitment to help should order break down and his people be too few to be able to handle it. This is what a militia really is, and should be. I wish there were many more police politicians who realized it.

Sillygisms:

A "sillygism" is a sequence of statements which appear logical but which produce nonsense. For example: people who die after jumping out of airplanes are almost always wearing parachutes. Therefore, if people jump out of airplanes without parachutes, they will be safer. That's a sillygism. Those who are against honest people owning, carrying, and using the means for self defense because they might go crazy and kill somebody speak in "sillygisms." The views espoused by this writer are the same as my own: that you have "inherent" rights, just by being born, with or without a Constitution. It's a concept not often espoused.
