Former Secret Service agent on People Control Not gun Control

This guy is pretty awesome. I would imagine at his age with his "progressive" thoughts, it may have had something to do with him being a former Secret Service agent.

No such thing as gun control, only people control

I agree with his initial arguments, it's not a "right" that can be granted or taken away. And "when they own the language they own the argument" is a good point too.

Unfortunately the solution he offers is completely backwards. He's saying that those who don't legitimize the system are to blame. But the system, by its very nature MUST disarm the population in its own self-interest.

Gun control isn't a battle that can be won through politics. If you need evidence, look at the gun laws in every country on the planet.

Good explanation of why here...

The rulers realize that the only way to retain their control over the people is to monopolize the firearms. The powers-that-be perceive that the people can never exercise their right to be free if they have no might to be free. Thus it is in part by gun control that Big Brother perpetuates his hegemony.
