It's actually very interesting in the history of assassinations just how successful the complete morons are, and to such a frequent degree. Hinkley for example is just about inarguably a retard, and yet came within an inch of killing Reagan.
An enormous amount of people don't understand that safety is an illusion. That the sole reason no one kills you most days of the year is because of the combination of lack of desire to do so, and desire to avoid punishment for it.
Straight up.
We live in a free society. The only true way to prevent someone from having the opportunity of killing someone else would require an absolutely oppressive amount of control over everyone. Even protecting the president from a dedicated/determined (willing to die himself) attacker is extremely difficult.
You absolutely wouldn't want to live under a system in which the police actually had a high chance of being able to prevent such a determined murderer. I know I wouldn't want to, anyhow. What if your every day life was treated like going through the TSA to get on a flight? Dealing with that level of invasion feels disgusting/dehumanizing, and even that is still extremely porous, and ineffective.
This is honestly the biggest problem with allowing everyone (especially most women) an equal vote - there are an absolutely retarded amount of people who are willing to cast away a shockingly high amount of our freedom (not just theirs, but - more importantly - yours) so they can have that small illusion of being "safe". Look no further than what those stupid fucks were willing to give up (not just give up, but cheer on) to feel even a fleeting amount of safety from something as weak as COVID.
It goes back to that one Benjamin Franklin quote. It's one of those things where it'd debatable as to whether or not he actually said it, but God damn is it true:
While we're on the subject of women...
So, as most here are aware, my wife is insanely hot. Supermodel hot. She's also further to the right than most men here.
Well, every time she's been on an airplane the Touch and Squeeze Administration has made sure to molest her in a variety of ways. Patting down, strip searching, etc. Well the last time she just walked up and started undressing on the spot in front of the crowd and they let her go out of embarrassment.
Which is part of why we bought her a gun. Because she understands that freedom requires firepower, so to speak. She doesn't want "safety" and she certainly despises security theater. It's not many women, as you correctly stated, that will actually take the basic responsibility for themselves as to carry a weapon.
I believe you about your wife. Women are not inherently evil or something like that. I'm not TheImp, or someone like him. When they are around people with better values, they can take on and assume those values as well.
The problem is that, when left to their own devices, women are (as unfortunate as it is) extremely predisposed towards that sort of "we should definitely give up all sorts of freedom so I can feel safe!" way of thinking. It's especially bad when we exist in a society full of indoctrinated weak ass men that espouse the same views, because then it makes it even easier for the average woman to feel validated in, and get caught up in that dangerous way (if you value freedom) of thinking, and that's exactly the world we live in right now.
Quite correct. Women without guidance and leadership fall prey to all variety of evil.
