Buy Your Kids Toy Guns This Christmas

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

There was recently a Twitter kerfuffle when some frustrated harridan, this time in Nebraska, blew a crone gasket because a store is selling toy guns to kids. She’s one of those Moms Demand Action types, and it’s pretty clear she’ll be demanding for a while. She frets that kids playing with toy guns “will be a problem when kids start getting them for Christmas, learn to quickly assemble their guns & bring them to school,” as if – between perverts, communists, and children of degenerate parents packing actual heat – popguns are the big threat to the kids in the schools these days.

Won’t someone please, please, think of the children? Well, we are. Which is why they must be exposed to toy guns at a young age. And toy firetrucks and race cars and airplanes and the rest of the actiony, adventury toys that begin to teach little boys to be big men. And for girls – and only girls, because only girls will ever be mothers – there are baby dolls as well. Play is play, sure, but play is also practice. It is how children begin to model themselves on adults by copying adult behaviors. And one of the most important of adult behaviors is learning to use violence against enemies in order to defend themselves, their families, their communities, and their Constitution.

The sour squaw, who is bitter that young boys want to be like adult men and that young girls might not want to be alone and sad like her, hates this idea. She objects to firearms being normalized for children and adults as well, and hates and demonizes those who wish to do so. Ironically, she can only embrace this boutique bigotry against the people who make her country safe because those people she despises have made her country safe for her – by using guns.

All through human history, the weak – like her and the sissy biological males who simp for this type of woman – have been at the mercy of the strong. And strong means physically strong, not just loud, shrill, and grating. Chairman Mao, whom these people no doubt admire in every other context, observed that power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist mass murderer at least had that right. Power used to be the sole domain of the biggest and the strongest men. The guy who could swing that broadsword ruled over both the weaker men, and the women, who could not – no appeal, no negotiation. Put away these dumb modern cliches of 110-pound waifs taking on human ogres weighing in at three times their mass. Size matters. Or, rather, it matters when guns are not in the equation.

The modern gun – an effective, reliable, and affordable tool that one can operate capably with some basic training – changed that reality. Suddenly, that 300-pound berserker was no longer necessarily the undisputed boss because a 120-pound lady with a Glock could put him down. And a bunch of citizens with weapons could deter or defeat the forces of the local warlord. Just ask Great Britain. The invention and dissemination of modern firearms was a revolution in human liberty. The fact is that a gun is freedom. It is freedom from the tyranny of size and mass. You want equity? Buy a .45.

And dumb people like Demanding Mom want to undo that.

Remarkably, they believe that somehow stripping the physically weaker of the means to protect themselves from the physically stronger will result in…well, a world that looks just like their status quo. What she and her affluent ilk claim they are seeking is the kind of society we normals generally have already, one that is pretty much (though not completely) safe outside of the savage Democrat inner city hellscapes where the vast majority of violence happens. If you live in her neighborhood, the chances of someone being murdered, by guns or anything else, are statistically insignificant. Yet what she alleges she wants, via disarming you, is that in her neighborhood the chances of someone being murdered, by guns or anything else, be nearly statistically insignificant. Except it already is.

As far as normal America outside the Democrat chaos goes, she and the gun grabbers have a solution in search of a problem. She does not want to change the outcome; what she wants to change is a variable that leads to the outcome thinking the outcome will not change. But changing variables changes outcomes. If you disarm the law-abiding people outside the blue cities, you will get the opposite of peaceful as the degenerates, thugs, and criminals that the Democrats suck up to will come out to loot and pillage the suddenly disarmed populations. But that’s not important to her type – if lowering crime was their priority, they would be clamoring to send the Army into DC to suppress the crime wave. Their priority is you being disarmed, and therefore powerless.

Why? Hate. These gun banners hate normal people – their disarmament agenda goes hand-in-hand with the agenda of defunding the police for everything except persecuting normal gun owners and people who use weapons in self-defense. Why do they hate us? A lot is aesthetic – they find us crude and dirty and scary. So scary that we must be made vulnerable to the forces they think they prefer, like the government and the criminal class, though I repeat myself. That this is suicidal never occurs to them. They cannot conceive of a society where they are at actual risk, instead of the fake risk posed by angry insurrectionist Trump voters shooting up their Whole Foods with fully semiautomatic AR15s and hundred-bullet clips. So they pull blocks out of the social Jenga tower thinking it can’t possibly fall. Well, I was on the streets with the 160th Infantry during the LA Riots and lady, I beg to differ.

But their hate cannot be countered by reason. They want us disarmed on the way to being disenfranchised. The idea that there will be a new generation trained to be actual men and women, citizens instead of serfs, is therefore hateful to them. They want boys neutered and sitting quietly in class reading their pornographic textbooks about how some men menstruate. They want girls to be bitter, frigid faux girl-bosses like themselves – ignoring the truth that girl bosses exist now, for the first time in human history, only because people with guns keep them from being beaten into submission by physically more powerful men and other women, for that matter.

When you let your kid play with toy guns, you teach your kid about what an adult’s responsibilities are. Fighting bad people is one of them. And your kids are going to be covering for a lot of social freeloaders when they do. Her kids Kaden nor Ashliegh will ever carry their weight by carrying an AR15 – they are on the pre-school fast track to some Ivy League conformity factory. But your kid will, because your kid is going to be awesome. You will teach your kids starting young that they must be citizen-warriors. Then you will teach them to shoot real guns, and they will want to learn, because shooting guns is what free adults do.

Those with guns and the skill and will to use them will always rule. The “use your inside voice” fantasies of a nanny state controlled not by legitimate violence but by the nagging and hectoring of wine women can only last so long. So teach your kids early, because either they will be armed and rule themselves, or disarmed with someone else ruling them.
