better or worse is better than best or worst,

and good with bad is not not bad.

Correction, the situation in the US **might** play out quite differently…

Rest assured, the Cathedral is aware of the guns and it has factored them into its plans. The Cathedral plans to win while ensuring that the guns are never used in an organized fashion.

If current trends continue it appears that they will accomplish this.

But NRX is ultimately more interesting than mainstream defense of gun rights, because widespread ownership of the means of force is useless without the will to use them. The Cathedral operates upstream of the means of gun ownership.

The Cathedral’s gun control propaganda has achieved its purpose in making gun owners fervently and loudly commit to being law abiding and not using their weapons for non-authorized purposes.

This is simply not accurate.

On a state level, many states continue to make more restrictive laws, some requiring registration (such as Connecticut and California), some requiring licensing (Illinois), many limiting magazine capacity (about ten states), and many limiting SBRs (about ten states). Many states are looking at implementing ammo purchase laws.

On the federal level, the only reason the Assault Weapons Ban went away is because there was a Sunset Clause in it and the law expired. George W. Bush wanted it renewed, by Larry Craig kept it from coming to the floor to be voted on. Had there been no Sunset Clause, the AWB would still be with us today. The original AWB was actually supported by most Republicans until their constituents had a fit when it came up for a vote, and they turned away from their previous support.

Also, the ATF continues to restrict imports of firearms, parts, and ammo… this is an area that has become more and more restrictive since the 1980s. Unconstitutional laws restricting the movement of firearms across state lines, especially SBRs and in the realm of private sales, continue to get worse, as well.

Will there be a gun ban where everything gets banned all at once? No, it’ll be done piecemeal over several decades.

How many DE/NRx theorists own an AR, AK, M1A, SKS, FAL, Mini 14, SCAR, Tavor, AUG, ACR, or some other semi-automatic rifle, or even a quality bolt action rifle and optic, or a semi-automatic handgun, along with ammo and spare parts for future maintenance? Very few, I think. How many of those who do actually train with it and know how to use their weapon of choice?

I, for one, have read very little discussion on this matter from DE/NRx theorists, which is why I come to this conclusion.

Now I recognize that many DE/NRx theorists are behind enemy lines in nations that do not permit ownership of such weaponry. But for those who are in the U.S. or Canada or some European countries, what’s their excuse?

Norm a productive unit so that if 100% of the population is self-sustaining, they on average create 1 unit each.

If 50% of the population is parasitic, then each host must create at least 2 units. But some marginal producers produce only 2 units, and since half of that is taken, net only 1 unit. They have a strong incentive to join the parasite class – which they can, as both are human. As opposed to malaria, you can’t retrain as a malaria. (Even feudal aristocracy only slows this, not stops this, due to downward scion mobility.) But when this marginal (say) 10% joins, the ratio becomes 60:40 and each host must create 2.5 units. Previously nonmarginal producers, who were netting 1.25 units, are now netting only 1 unit. They convert too…and this function is accelerating. 75:25 :: 4 units. 80:20 :: 5 units.
