<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Monday column for The Herald-Times<\/em><\/a>, forensic and clinical psychologist Paul Shriver called for the complete repeal of the Second Amendment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shriver reasons that there is no legitimate purpose for the right to keep and bear arms. Not even in the context of personal defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirearm use is by definition a violent act (homicide when a human is the recipient) and has no place in civilized society. Nothing ever invented is easier to obtain or more lethal with less effort than a firearm,\u201d he writes.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo reasonable person could possibly imagine that expressing one’s feelings or opinions with a bullet could be equivalent to \u2018free speech\u2019 or even exist as a \u2018right\u2019 on the same piece of paper,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No offense to Shriver but these sound like the musings of a slack-jawed idiot who hasn\u2019t read the Constitution (or, quite possibly, inflammatory drivel from an anti-2A Internet troll).\u00a0 Civilized society remains civilized because there are noble men with guns to keep the peace and enforce the rule of law.\u00a0 Disarming these good men opens the door to full-blown tyranny. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case in point, Ukraine.  There\u2019s a reason why Ukraine\u2019s leadership did a complete 180 on its gun laws <\/a>with respect to certain rifles in the face of the Russian invasion.  Because an armed citizenry is kryptonite to hostile forces.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violent acts by good men are a necessary reprisal against those who seek to harm our families or imperil our sovereignty.   But Shriver doesn\u2019t think so.  On the contrary, he contends that it\u2019s time to turn the 2A from a fundamental right for all into a privilege for the select few.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only real solution must begin with the repeal of the 2nd Amendment in its entirety and without delay. It might then be re-written in clear language as a privilege to be strictly regulated \u2014 the details to be worked out later by usual democratic means. This would include specifics as to legal and reasonable legitimacy of uses, manufacture, sales, types, and related products,\u201d he argues.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He goes on to say that all guns in \u201ccurrent ownership\u201d would need to be \u201crecalled\u201d and if not \u201cre-legalized, eliminated,\u201d and that this call for widespread disarmament is not \u201cnot anti-gun per se, nor in any sense extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Study: Small Group of Known Criminals Driving Crime (Not Law-Abiding Gun Owners!)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And as for the natural right of self-defense, he completely rejects the notion that firearms are the best tool for the job, indicating that less-lethal measures are good enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPersonally, I would not recommend self-defense either by pre-emptive or counter attack as an appropriate use, as there are many effective and less lethal options,\u201d he writes.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, under the new laws, it would still be true that if (some) guns are outlawed, only outlaws would have guns, but non-compliance would make (possibly) you, (former law-abiding citizen) one of them, now wouldn’t it? (And good luck with that.),\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, Shriver\u2019s ignorance shows through in his analysis.  As the gun community is fond of saying, disarming good guys does not make dangerous people harmless.  Hyper-violent criminals are never turning their guns over to the state, which means his call for compulsory forfeiture would leave millions of compliant Americans at the mercy of these predators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shriver is, therefore, suggesting that law-abiding citizens should be relegated to bringing a taser (or a flashlight or pepper spray or some other less-lethal implement) to a gunfight.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe that’s a sufficient safeguard for his family but it’s not for mine.  If myself or one of my loved ones comes face-to-face with an armed and determined killer, we won\u2019t be defending ourselves with a rape whistle or some bureaucratic-approved less-lethal device — that I can promise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a 2A that \u201cshall not be infringed\u201d for a reason.  It wasn\u2019t by accident that the founders and framers put it into the Bill of Rights at the number two spot.  Highly educated people who seriously question its enduring importance to this nation and its free people should have their heads examined, perhaps, starting with Dr. Shriver.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
