Cognitive Dissonance

The Russians want Americans disarmed? [More]

Wait a sec -- I thought Adam Schiff said they wanted us to shoot ourselves...?

It must be something to have cult followers so malleable you don't even need to keep your lies straight.

When I was being robbed at a gunpoint, beaten up and nearly killed in 1994 in Moscow, the gang who attacked me had a handgun, and I didn't.

To add to that: both in my own and my wife's families there were MULTIPLE victims of democide in 1930's in the Soviet Union.

Now that I am a U.S. citizen and a responsible and proficient gun owner, I want to tell everyone who advocates ANY gun-control measures:
DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS, ALL OF YOU, FUCK OFF AND DIE!

I came to this country to be free, not to watch it turn into yet another socialist/commie shithole. But this is exactly what I see happening.

On a bright side: the amount of people who had never shot a firearm in their life and whom I taught the basics of safety and shooting in the past several years, has recently exceeded a dozen. If something makes a gun grabber angry, this should be it, and I am happy to teach newbies and convert them into gun owners, or at least tilt them to our side in the gun-fucking-control so-called "debate".

In the stilted translation from Russian to English, you can detect that they have difficulty with the word "militia" in the U.S. Constitution, conflating it with "police" ("militziya" in Russian), "National Guard" and pre-U.S. Civil War slave patrols. The organized, armed Americans who fought British Regulars at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill and forced the evacuation of the British Army and Navy from Boston on March 17, 1776 do not have a ready equivalent in Russian history for comparison.

The Russian serf peasant class, wealthy enough to own farm land, cattle and to hire labor to work the land, were known as "kulaki" ("kurkuli" in Ukraine) - "fists" (in both the good and bad senses of the word). The kulaks who resisted collectivization by the government in the 1920's and 1930's did not fare well. As owners of private property, they were treated as hated capitalists.

Farmers, their hired labor and tradesmen who owned their own arms and drilled on Sunday for the common defense of their community did not exist in Russia and the Soviet Union.
