Credit where it’s due.
Even though Right Vs Centre Vs Left politics was born from the French Revolution of 1789 - 1795-ish…
(Point 1.)
…there’s no other country which influences modern global politics in terms of economics, militarisation and reordering global hierarchies (eg: UN, NATO, AUKUS). Which is why as an Australian I have the fucking right to involve myself in American politics and will continue to do so, because what that narcissistic orange creature in the White House does impacts me as much as anyone else.
This constant American need to have a finger in the money pie is what started this shit in the Middle East in WW1 when the US and Britain carved the place up for oil resources.
I’ve said before, look at the relative security of Jews, Muslims, Christians living under Ottoman rule for 600-odd years there.
The Poms and Yanks couldn’t have all that money sitting there under the control of the Ottomans, so they removed it, created the Republic of Turkey, carved up the rest of the region to allow for licensing deals on the oil resources, refineries and exports and solidified this in 1948 with the creation of Israel to solve the humanitarian diaspora issue AND keep an ally smack-bang at the front door to Oil Central.
Further, they setup the wealth of the Saudi Arabian monarchy and similar UAE states with paid access grants for exploration to find more fucking oil.
Ever wonder why some nation states over there are indescribably advantaged when it comes to money, while others like Yemen fall straight into the “We Don’t Give A Fuck” pile?
Access to oil. Money. America. Power.
Which brings me to…
Point 2.
Guns aren’t the issue.
The issue is that paid gun rights and licenses for the individual are prioritised by Congress and Federal/State licensing authorities and agencies over the safety and security of the collective society.
Fuck all time and energy is thrown at mental health, so when you get someone like a Palestinian Muslim who has been generationally marginalised, moved into ghettos, had water cut off and their land stolen by the filthy and greedy Israeli government, combine that with mental health and ease of getting guns, then you have the current issue. Which brings me to Point 3.
Point 3:
The gun issue is solely about protecting the insane amount of money which gun ownership generates for the government, sold to honest and good people as their Constitutional Right.
Then assholes break in to homes/cars and steal guns or generate a black market supply of them and now we have even more open access.
I’m not for removing guns. But until someone comes up with a way to make sure they’re not so easy for mentally ill lunatics to get their hands on, then what’s a better solution?
It’s similar to the abortion issue.
Conservatives lose their fucking minds when it comes to keeping babies alive until they’re born, but none of you give a shit about that baby afterwards. Where’s the same fanatical level of concern for the baby as a child or society more broadly?
Same with guns.
Conservatives lose their minds when it comes to making guns accessible for people to “keep and bear arms”, but where’s the same level of concern for all of you signing up for your local “well regulated militia”???
And are you equally concerned about said guns falling into the hands of mentally ill mass shooters?
Do you wear T-shirts saying “God, Guns and Adequate Mental Health Programs”??
Do you go down to the range to Rambo up a paper target and then go by the local psych clinic to make sure Crazy Tommy has his meds?
Do you know any Palestinian refugees (I’m NOT talking about Hamas terrorists here) and their families who’ve been on the receiving end of fucking 75 years of government sanctioned deprivation of human rights to see if it’s maybe, just maybe, fucked with their minds, even just a little bit??
Of course not. But hey, guns for all, right ?
