The America Speaking Out website for Republicans to take input from constituents lacks a critical topic: the second amendment. As of this morning, its second week of operation, the site is still down.
I'll speak to the Republicans from here: the second amendment is critical to our independence, and any public servant who wants the job of service needs to understand first how one's duty is to make constituents as independent of lawmakers and bureaucracy as possible. This is not the extreme No Government goal, don't be silly; it is that the exclusion of the citizen has been instilled in our governance beyond the unreasonable, now into the predatory. Without this independence from our public servants as a personal and professional value of officials as much as ourselves, the bureaucracy itself is part of the problem and not part of the solution. For many servants, including the Republicans, it seems, this dependency is a picnic they do not wish to spoil by assisting us in our increasing independence from them.
The key is very simple: dependency on government as a picnic for career public servants begins with removing safeguards put in place by the Founders purely against such boondoggles. This is always a predatory move on our sovereignty. Those safeguards make the very idea of dependency on bureaucracy laughable against a backdrop of personal dignity and being on your own as a personal value.
But delete those safeguards of liberty and you have a void in how violent predators are met. Bureaucracy then fills that void with an illusion, never actually fighting crime and violence, never really filling that void created by disarming people. It makes the problem of violent crime seem intractable. This illusion itself then preys on all of humanity in every nation except the elite who are well-armed in every nation.
When crime is not fooled by that illusion, it thrives and creates an evergreen crisis. it creates a picnic for officials. Bureaucracy then has an evergreen emergency upon which to build more of the picnic, programs which operate to the detriment of the taxpayer and child alike.
Is this going to change merely because republicans say it will? The problem is that everybody likes a picnic, and the conservatives, libertarians and independents will have to run on a ticket of calling the picnic off and getting back to the work of maiing more sure every day how little citizens need to depend on officials.
