This
bill begins a logical progression to a total weapons ban. The I introduction of
a more lengthy waiting period, so that criminal records can be checked before a
firearm is released to a member of the public might seem :;; sensible but is
practically useless and will do absolutely nothing to combat the rising tide of
violence and firearm deaths. The most recent mass murders were not perpetrated
by the so-called 'superiorly armed criminal element'. The guns were purchased
legally by citizens free of criminal records and besides most 'professional
criminals' steal their weapons, purchase second hand or simply have a friend
with no police record buy the weapon of choice, get paid for their trouble and
then have the gun reported to the authorities as stolen .
The
most dangerous aspect of the Brady Bill is that certain types of weapon are to
be removed from the market place. Now the Brady Bill has been passed, it can be
expected for reactionary elected officials to introduce even stricter gun
control bills into state legislature that will further restrict various
classifications of firearms. This will be the second step in their drive to
remove any potential armed resistance from the oppressed sectors of Amerikkkan
society and the right to defend oneself with equal quality fire-power as is used
against you. The third and next step after state legislatures hop on the Brady
Bill -bandwagon, is the removal of various types of ammunition currently
available to the public. For example, if it finally comes to pass that 9mm
calibre weapons are proclaimed as illegal to own and possess, then 9mm ammo will
become -impossible to purchase. Immediately following the passage of this bill,
the government influenced, or owned mainstream media began a publicity
saturation campaign against 'Black Talon' type ammunition. The Black Talon
projectile produces sharp edges when the bullet makes impact with the target to
effect maximum damage. The pigs routinely use this type of high-tech. killing
ammo in their firearms to commit murder in the streets but they are very vocal
in opposition to anybody else having access to such deadly ammo for means of
protection. After the restriction, or complete banning of various types of ammo
becomes reality then will come eventual massive searches of working class areas
for 'illegal weapons', justified to the more gullible sectors of society by
media propaganda campaigns proclaiming that poor, working class areas are
breeding grounds for highly dangerous criminals. When their guns are gone the:
working class will be even more at the mercy of those with guns. First they come
for the weapons, then without warning or risk of serious opposition they come
for the 'enemies of the state', the radicals, anarchists, troublesome leaders in
the minority communities etc...
Since the 1960's the extreme right
wing, fascist, racist groups such as the kkk, Nazi scum, Aryan garbage,
Nationalist trash have been waiting like vultures for stricter gun control and
quite probably praying for the day a total ban of firearms is enacted, making
all possession illegal, because an unarmed enemy is of little importance in an
armed combat situation. The vast majority of anti- racist, anti-imperialist,
anti-government organisations are light-years behind the extreme right in terms
of fire-power, even though our future survival ..:. realistically depends on our
ability to defend ourselves !
The
climate on the streets is that everybody either has stockpiled weapons or are
engaged in doing it right now. The situation is entirely comparable in the. free
community as it is within the gulags. Within the gulag the possession of a knife
or gun is illegal but not having one when needed for self defence is often
fatal. Burying our heads in the sand, hoping trouble will merely 'go away' only
says two things: 1. Your arse is exposed while your head is buried in the sand
and 2. you cannot see the danger coming ! The organized stripping of your means
and ability for self defence is clearly happening right now, so if we, as
individuals and anarchists allow this to happen without taking adequate measures
to negate the intended effects of legislature like the Brady Bill and the more
restrictive laws logically coming right behind it in future, then we are
deserving of elimination. A revolution is ultimately won or lost through
fire-power and the ability of revolutionaries to survive as a force of change,
aboveground and underground beyond the eyes and ears of the government if
necessary. Any movement that cannot, or will not defend itself with any force
necessary is doomed to failure from the start and will be crushed by reactionary
forces like the fascists, the pigs, the state etc...
The
best advice I can give my anarchist comrades on this most important subject is
to arm yourselves today to meet tomorrow's need of arms to survive! This is a
wake-up call before the ability to effectively arm is forever lost to us! . We
are responsible for our own protection.
