Why Gun Bans Fail

Why do gun bans fail, all the time? Save Japan? The answer is simple human nature. Guns are very useful objects, and people want them. There is a global supply of guns, and gun manufacturers globally, including Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, China, Pakistan, and other places are happy to supply guns to the world. In Africa the AK-47 goes for about $50 or so. Criminal networks are happy to smuggle guns where they can reap profits, as they do for non-tax cigarettes, drugs, semi-enslaved prostitutes, and other contraband. Human nature guarantees gun bans always fail. Save Japan.

America’s Gun Culture and Anarcho Tyranny

The late Sam Francis defined anarcho-tyranny as the State punishing and micro-managing in a tyrannical way, the life of ordinary (White) middle and working class people, while enabling the anarchy of violent, dangerous criminals (often though not exclusively Black and Hispanic). This is a feature of the Western world. But America’s gun culture, which is fairly ancient, is a response to anarcho-tyranny. Francis felt that anarcho-tyranny was an outgrowth of the “managerial state” of an elite embedded in massive bureaucracies in government and elsewhere that rule almost every aspect of daily life. But in fact this feature of anarcho-tyranny is very, very old, dating back to the Puritan colonies of New England, and the Cavalier colonies of Virginia.

Americans cling bitterly to their guns because the State has failed to protect them, through lack of resources, incompetence, corruption, nasty deals with foreigners, or all of the above, consistently from the days of the Great Warpath to the LA Rodney King Riots and last year’s flash mobs. This has profound consequences for any attempt to get rid of the guns of ordinary Americans (while retaining arms for the Secret Service, celebrities, etc). Nothing less than a revolution will happen if the safety valve of guns is removed.

Yoko Ono Explains Obama’s Policy

Our Country is in the very best of hands. Really.

Will it be Yoko succeeding Hillary as Secretary of State? Why not?

Jonathon Last Reads Steve Sailer, Plus James Burke’s Predictions

What do James Burke, from the old PBS series “Connections” and Jonathon Last of the Weekly Standard, have in common? They are both looking at the “trap” of technology that the entire modern world has found itself in:

Jonathon Last from the Weekly Standard has some good observations culled from Steve Sailer, Heartiste/Roissy, (and myself). Full article here. Take-aways: the Gender Gap and Hispanic Gap is less than the Marriage Gap. White Women are two thirds of Single Women. Obama took +16 for Single Men and +36 for Single Women. Most White women have the “life of Julia” where they have one kid, not married, at the mid-thirties and depend on the government for everything. Single voters increased by six points, while Hispanic voters increased only 1 point.

As I noted well, a long time ago, the marriage rate for Whites is declining. Last confirms that with this quote:

Teixera noted that 47 percent of all women are now unmarried, up from 38 percent in 1970. “Their current size in the voter pool​—​more than a quarter of eligible voters​—​is nearly the size of white evangelical Protestants, who are perhaps the GOP’s largest base group,” he writes. “And since the current growth rate of the population of unmarried women is relatively high (double that of married women), the proportion of unmarried women in the voting pool should continue to increase.” In the medium run, he’s almost certainly correct.

How did we get to an America where half of the adult population isn’t married and somewhere between 10 percent and 15 percent of the population don’t get married for the first time until they’re approaching retirement?

Last goes on to note the end of religion, and birth control, being the over-arching stories of single White women (and men too). Last notes studies predicting up to a quarter of East Asian women will remain single, and a third will remain childless.

Now, you might ask yourself, have women suddenly stopped liking sex? Or kids? Or is it just the revulsion of women against Beta Males, that accounts for the massive epidemic all across the West and Asia, of singleton rejection of marriage and kids? And is it the comparatively greater supply of Alpha males, among Black and Hispanic men, that accounts for greater fertility?

Fall Television Review 2012

As the new year fast approaches, it is time to review the Fall TV season for 2012. As noted by many, politics is not just politics, but well, culture. And there are some good and bad things to note in the culture of the Fall 2012 TV season. The good are that the sophomore season for both NBC’s “Grimm” and CBS’s “Person of Interest” shows promise, with some fairly interesting plot twists and adult discussion of previously forbidden topics (though larded over with a good heaping of political correctness and “diversity” fantasies). As well, National Geographics “Preppers” series shows how people are realizing that something is very, very wrong with America, though they don’t know what. Thus “prepping” for all sorts of laughable disasters instead of recognizing the insane fiscal and cultural and political trends heading for the abyss in modern America. The AMC show “Walking Dead” pulled in an amazing number of viewers for its midseason finale, breaking cable records and out-drawing Broadcast TV shows at the same time in the Adult 18-49 demo.

This (as Martha Stewart would say) is a good thing. As it underscores well, something is really, really wrong with modern America.

The bad is of course, a plethora of PC and “diversity” and multicultural idiocy, even among otherwise interesting shows, and a rather horrific view of technology and collapse prevalent in NBC’s “Revolution” which is a Hunger Games copy and hit among young women and girls.

Questionable Results from Philly

The Fox News report here shows that other people are questioning Obama’s turnout and vote totals.

As the Philadelphia Inquirer first reported last week, six of Philadelphia’s 66 wards handed the president victory shares of 99 percent or better. In 20 of the wards, the Obama vote totals exceeded 97 percent.

On Monday, the Inquirer reported that in 59 of Philadelphia’s “divisions” — these are subsets of wards, wherein fewer than 1,000 people might be registered to vote — GOP nominee Mitt Romney failed to win even a single vote. Collectively, the votes for Obama across these divisions added up to 19,605, to Romney’s zero.

…

However, Barone noted that turnout rates in these areas was sometimes reported to have exceeded 90 percent, a level of enthusiasm that he said should arouse suspicion. “Philadelphia’s been a place that’s had some pretty irregular election procedures in the past,” he said.

State Rep. Sam Smith, the Republican from the 66th District who serves as speaker of the Pennsylvania House, called the results “questionable.” “In some precincts in Philadelphia, I think you’re going to see, as they finish the official count, places where there are more people voting in a precinct than actually signed in at the poll book,” Smith told Fox News.

Asked what gave him that idea, Smith cited the electoral history of the city and said he thought it would be “predictive” this time around, as well.

Turnout for Obama was 10 million votes south of his 2008 total. So obviously there was massive fraud. Even in Black areas, there would be SOME votes for Romney, from gentrifiers, and a few Black outliers. Romney got NONE. NONE. It doesn’t make sense. Save fraud.

Paula and the General: the Road to Slutdom

News of General Petraeus’s resignation, over an affair with married biographer Paula Broadwell, shows how America and the West has changed. Into a nation of sluts and Alpha males. With almost no exceptions. From the Daily Mail, we learn that Broadwell’s husband, though a radiologist, is a true beta male. No wonder she fell for a man age 60, a full twenty one years her senior. Five minutes of Alpha beats well, decades of marriage. To a doctor. With whom she’s had two kids. Welcome to the new world of marriage. One as unsustainable as everything else in the West.
