“Catholics Shall Have No Weapons.”

Most of you know about the Resistance of the Vendée, a group of fervent Catholics who valiantly fought with weapons against the leaders of the French Revolution.  This is partly because the French Revolution was killing priests and nuns, as well as doing other unspeakable atrocities.  From a human point of view, the Vendée lost the war.  But traditional Catholics will always honor them as martyrs for the faith.

Later, the French Revolution became the precursor to every communist revolution from Cuba to Cambodia.  As I have written before, I estimate that communism killed 14x the amount of people as the Nazis.  All dictators require the disarmament of its own citizens before executing the troublemakers. The site Firearms Owners Against Crime lists some of the genocidal results of 20th century governments disarming their own citizens:

• 1911: Turkey; citizens disarmed – 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered
• 1929: Russia; citizens disarmed – 20 million Russians murdered
• 1935: China; citizens disarmed – 20 million Chinese killed
• 1938: Germany; citizens disarmed – 6 million Jews murdered
• 1956: Cambodia; citizens disarmed – 1 million “intellectuals” killed
• 1964: Guatemala; citizens disarmed – 100,000 Mayan Indians massacred
• 1970: Uganda; citizens disarmed – 300,000 … put to death

Yes, we are so de-sensitized to mass killings by this point.  But the next may be us, as the website Bearing Arms just reported a court case last week:  “In his ruling, Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci, Jr agreed that ammunition should be considered ‘arms’ that are protected by the language of the Second Amendment, but still found the law in question to be constitutional because it’s meant to keep ‘dangerous’ people from acquiring guns and ammunition.”

The ruling then continues with this shocking explanation in reference to an 18th century law against Catholics: “The government offers several historical examples of laws that were enacted to disarm dangerous individuals, but the Court will discuss only one of the many analogues offered. In colonial Virginia, the legislature dictated that no Catholics ‘shall, or may have, or keep in his house or elsewhere, or in the possession of any other person to his use, or at his disposition, any arms, weapons, gunpowder or ammunition‘ because it was determined that ‘it is dangerous at this time to permit [Catholics] to be armed.'”

Now it begins to make sense why the FBI admitted in 2023 to targeting Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) Catholics.  Mr. Kyle Seraphim wrote last year at UncoverDC:   “The FBI’s Richmond Division would like to protect Virginians from the threat of ‘white supremacy,’ which it believes has found a home within Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass. An intelligence analyst within the Richmond Field Office of the FBI released in a new finished intelligence product dated January 23, 2023, on Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) and their interests in ‘Radical-Traditionalist Catholics’ or RTCs… The acronym, new to many in the Domestic Counterterrorism field, comes with a footnote by the writer explaining RTCs are ‘typically characterized by the rejection of the Second Vatican Council.'”

It turns out that “rejecting the Second Vatican Council” has nothing to do with “white supremacy” after all!  Rather, the left fears potential armed resistance to their totalitarian state.  This is why the Obama/Biden Administration proposes disarmament of specific citizens, namely, traditional Catholics who value the Second Amendment.  This is not a problem of misunderstanding, as if we conservatives simply have to reach across the aisle a little harder.  It’s because the left is morally bankrupt: “Everyone who does evil hates the light.” (Omnis enim qui mala agit odit lucem.—Jn 3:20.)

Don’t take my word for it.  Put all of the above website links together and the conclusion becomes very obvious:  The US government does not want conservative Catholics to have weapons because disarmament of undesirable citizens is always the precursor to the eradication of those exact same undesirable citizens. Again, the US government has admitted to not only using the FBI to specifically target TLM Catholics in 2023, but now even admits “it is dangerous at this time to permit [Catholics] to be armed.”  

I believe they won’t accomplish their goal before our country enters a large scale war (perhaps against China?) but still I suggest you keep your weapons, anyway.   We need to stop insisting our rifles are exclusively for hunting.  The founders of our country did not envision her citizens to be less armed than the government as seen in this recent testimony.

The leftist Administration in this country has no right to disarm Catholic families as the communists did everywhere across the world in the 20th century from Croatia to Cambodia (before killing millions of them.)  Keep in mind that the disarming and genocide of the exact same civilians always came faster than the victims expected.
