If the last argument of kings is war, the best response from the citizenry is guns.
Machiavelli wrote that “The chief foundations of all states… are good laws and good arms.”
Those good arms must be in the hands of citizens, and the world is waking up to the need for guns for themselves to fight the tyrants who persecute them or seek their extermination. We Americans are not fools for holding onto our firearms. Corporate media stateside and around the world can laugh at us or condemn us for the high number of gun-related deaths, but when controlled for location (big Democrat-run cities v. Rest of America) and reasons (self-defense v. murder), the numbers even out, and America comes out better.
Americans are safer and freer than the rest of the world because of our guns.
In a previous article, I argued that Trump should pressure other countries to adopt their own version of our Second Amendment in their respective constitutions. If other countries want to make their countries great again, then good citizens need good arms to ensure the enforcement of good laws.
There’s no better example of this need than Iran. President Trump took out their nuclear capabilities last year. Israel and the United States have escalated the war to break the will of the Islamic militant government and finish them off.
The United States cannot finish the job alone. The Europeans are unsure about stepping in, and China has only pressured Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz. One key demographic must intervene for freedom: the Iranian people themselves.
How do we assist the Iranians? The Ayatollahs and the Iranian national guard are committed to global jihad, even if it means mowing down their own people, and nearly 50,000 have been wiped out.
For ancient Persia to be free once again, the Iranians need guns. We can supply them, too.
There is precedent for this.
In 1944, American forces airlifted weapons into Poland to assist the resistance against the Nazis. We also supplied the French maquis resistance fighters.
Arming Iranian citizens will serve several purposes:
-
Allow the citizens to rise up, which would force the unelected IRGC to focus on internal matters
-
By overloading and reprioritizing their attention, the Ayatollahs and IRGC would have fewer resources to police or frustrate the Strait of Hormuz.
-
This effort would save lives. The unelected IRGC will likely murder more of their own people. Arming those “defenseless citizens” would give the innocent a fighting chance to protect themselves.
-
This maneuver would cost the United States far less in terms of blood and treasure. Dropping arms into key locations across the country will assist the Iranian resistance and flip the balance of power in the country.
Can we trust them to fight back? Would they raise their arms against the regime?
They have every right to!
Their faith declares that killing one’s Muslim brothers is strictly prohibited. Quran 4:93 says, “But whoever kills a believer intentionally—his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.”
Despite this severe admonishment by The Prophet, the corrupt leaders in Iran have slaughtered fellow Muslims with irreligious abandon.
Between the corrupt regime of Iran and its proxy militia, they have murdered hundreds of thousands more Muslims around the world since 1979. In fact, the unelected Iranian leaders are an “occupying government” that has slaughtered far more Muslims than their inflated claims against Israel and America suggest.
Furthermore, Iran’s leaders are stealing the people’s money to foment revolution in Sunni-dominated countries. These funded militant radicals in other countries (e.g., Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, etc.) murder other innocent Muslims on Iran’s behalf. When the present conflict started, Iranian terrorist dictators attacked fellow Muslim countries more than the United States!
Indeed, Iranian citizens will rise if they receive arms to protect themselves. Muslim countries targeted by Iran could follow suit, and help provide weapons to their fellow adherents.
Iran has a whole smuggling operation to get weapons into other nations for their overthrow. There is even new evidence that Iran has previously helped Shia Muslims in Pakistan. It’s time to return the favor to destroy this megalomaniacal regime.
In the Wild West, Americans called the handgun “the great equalizer” for a good reason. In fact, they say that the handgun won the American West; it brought law and order.
America and the Arab alliance can take advantage of boots on the ground by arming Iranian citizens. Unlike the militants in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Gaza, the majority of the Iranians would be happy to overthrow their government.
As they continue begging America to continue its pressure until the government is overthrown, Trump has told them to wait. Receiving handguns would signal that they no longer have to hold on. Give them the means to fights, and you give them a chance at freedom and protecting themselves. On a related note, it is vital that the United States not allow Iran to continue to nationally televise their propaganda. US Military action must take block it or shut it down
Will there be objections to this proposal? Certainly, from the CIA and foreign policy brass still wasting space in Washington, DC. They are confirmed liberals who live and work in Northern Virginia. They watch MSNOW (formerly MSNBC) religiously, and they make large donations to the Democratic Party. Trump has hired better leaders this term, but those Deep State analysts embedded in the federal government are still causing trouble.
Let’s consider their possible excuses and refute them all.
CLAIM: Supplying guns to civilians will help topple the regime, but cause someone worse to take over the country.
FACT: Iran’s government is already a suicidal cult. They believe that global war will hasten Allah’s return, and dying in the name of Allah will assure their heavenly rewards. There’s no risk because only saner minds will take over.
CLAIM: You cannot air-drop firearms because they would hurt civilians on the ground.
FACT: Deliveries at night and in secure packaging would reduce serious harm. Private firms engage in similar delivery methods. The United States can follow their example. 100,000 to 150,000 units must be provided, which would arm a massive civilian army that can achieve a successful revolution for the people.
CLAIM: The Kurds stole the weapons that we had delivered to them for this effort. Iranian civilians might do the same.
FACT: The Iranian people will most likely use the guns to resolve the largest problem facing them: annihilation by their government. Let’s trust them to serve their best interests.
CLAIM: If the Kurds didn’t fight, the Iranians wouldn’t either.
FACT: Besides the Iranians, regional groups can lead a revolt, such as the Baloch, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and many others. Providing the weapons will help them all.
President Trump has initiated a military action long needed, but too long delayed.
Trump should release firearms in strategic locations to Iranian rebel groups prepared to organize and fight. With this savvy military move, Trump can finish off the IRGC, establish peace, and assure his party’s re-election chances in November.
