Since before and now at the rise of her New
Prophet, America’s slaughterous gun culture
is thriving non-stop with or without the world
glamour and drooling adulation toward the man
they hail as her “Black Obama.” For a strange
moment, one would easily forget that the USA
only elected a president and no a pope or
purposely paved the open Christian road
for The Second Coming of the Messiah.
A donkey did he not come on, yes? But
not on an American Democratic-one ...

America, some might argue, would have been
alot better off had it been able to vote in last
week’s 2oo8 Presidential Election to have out-
lawed the manufacture and sale of all guns
instead of electing her symbolic first black
president to run the world’s most powerful
military machine and to sit on top of what is
the most pathological and deadly gun culture
on God's earth. Ironically, and hopefully not
prophetically, it maybe that same dangerous and
volatile American gun pathology that could well
endanger the very life and very limb of Barack
Hussien Obama, either now or in the future.
Such a sad scenerio would only lead perhaps to
him then being crowned almost messianically by
some of his diehard followers with a "Crown of
Thorns" on his secular and political cranium.
For heavensake, God forbid.

So aside from, and yet also because of, Black
Obama's rise, America’s gun culture is thriving
now more than ever, thank you very much.
There's no let up. In fact, there’s been a surge of
gun-related stories and gun-buying since America
picked its first black president last Tuesday. So here,
I present just three online news stories that have
been posted since the end of the Nov. 4th U.S.
Presidential Election that provides us with a dis-
turbing insight into the whole gun culture that
is gun-crazy and gun-absorbed America.

The first story here tells of how Black Obama’s election
has triggered a run on gun purchases by gun citizens.
While, the second grim story is of an 8 year-old kid who
killed his own dad and a friend after his dad had taught
him "not to be afraid of guns." And, the last story is of
the convict that wrestled the gun from the court guard and
then shot the judge dead who had sentenced him for rape.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - Sales of rifles, pistols and ammo are surging in parts of the United States, as many gun owners fear President-elect Barack Obama's administration may seek to tighten ownership of certain weapons. "The day after the election, I had many more calls than usual from people looking for semi-automatic rifles," said David Greenberg, the owner of the Second Amendment Family Gun Shop, in Bisbee, Arizona, who sold out of AR-15 rifles in recent days.
"There seems to be a fear they will be banned, and it's fairly likely," he added. "Obama and Biden are driven to eliminate firearms from the face of the country." Gun stores and trade groups have reported a spike in firearms sales in the run-up to the November 4 election victory of Democrat Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden, who many perceive as strongly pro-gun control. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association for the shooting, hunting and firearms industry, reported a 10 percent jump in gun sales this year based on its analysis of an excise tax placed on firearms and ammunition, and a spokesman said the increase had grown dramatically ahead of the election. "Gun owners are afraid of what Obama is going to do as far as guns," said spokesman Tony Aeschliman. "He has a clear record of being against us."

ST. JOHNS, Ariz. – A man who police believe was shot and killed by his 8-year-old son had consulted a Roman Catholic priest about whether the boy should handle guns and had taught him how to use a rifle, the clergyman said Saturday. The father, Vincent Romero, 29, was from a family of avid hunters and wanted to make sure the boy wasn't afraid of guns, said the Very Rev. John Paul Sauter of St. Johns Catholic Church. The boy's stepmother had suggested he have a BB gun, the priest said. Romero taught his son how to use a rifle to kill prairie dogs, Sauter said. Police say the boy used a .22-caliber rifle Wednesday to kill his father and another man, Timothy Romans, 39, of San Carlos. The priest did not say how he advised the couple but said Saturday that the boy "was just too young." "That child, I don't think he knows what he did, and it was brutal," Sauter said. The boy, who faces two counts of premeditated murder, did not act on the spur of the moment, St. Johns Police Chief Roy Melnick said. Police are looking into whether he might have been abused. "I'm not accusing anybody of anything at this point," he said Saturday. "But we're certainly going to look at the abuse part of this. He's 8 years old. He just doesn't decide one day that he's going to shoot his father and shoot his father's friend for no reason. Something led up to this." The boy's father and stepmother had gotten married in September, said Sauter, who presided over the wedding. Now read the full story. Priest: Slain dad had taught boy, 8, to use guns.

Alright, so America is gun crazy. Well, we all know
that pretty well. But watch out "Little Britain." We're
the next to follow our gunslinging American cousins.
We are moving more and more to our own deadly
gun culture that is seen almost every day now
with our cops armed to the teeth and running
about using their police-issued guns to kill
whoever they bloody please in the scary name of
“protecting” society and us. The same rationale is
used regularly by American cops who kill whoever
they want no matter what and they invariably
“legally” get away with it. Rarely, a week passes by
that some trigger-happy Yankee cop dosen't pulls out
his gun to shot to kill some citizen for some reason.
***
The same mindset to shoot first and ask questions
later is now becoming the same attitude and gun
rationale of those armed cops in England, too.
Once guns become the "be all and end all" of
“lawful” police action, then it simply grows
dimensional to the point that the gun always
becomes the first, and not the last resort, to
resolving whatever the problem may be.
***
The individual is of no importance in the
equation of the power and use of the gun
by the armed state and individual gun-
holders. Those who have such guns rule the
day against those who don't have guns. To
legally or illegally carry such weapons in the
name of stopping terrorism or combating violent
suspects or disarming armed dissenting groups,
simply feeds into the whole gun culture and
deadly pathological mindset of whatever
party or entity holds the most guns and
killing power. The individual is no more pro-
tected and secure by those who are armed,
either by the state or militia or group, to
allegedly keep us all free and safe. In fact,
guns only protect the strong and not the
weak and powerless despite all the talk.
Look at the picture below and tell me if you
feel any safer and freer by bumping into such
armed British cops on your way to work or
travelling on the tube or taking the kidz to
school or taking the dog for a walk? I don't.
The picture speaks volumes of the Britain now
lost to the present all-consuming power of
the state and the police unto itself over the
controlled and pacified and silent citizenry.

British Cops Armed To The Teeth.
So the gun culture on both sides of the pond
will continue to grow by the simple nature
of guns, guns, and more guns. The world it-
self is now so full of guns, too, it has become
a global gun culture with America always
leading the way with such daily and deadly
dose of gun murders to fill the graves of
America's cemeteries from coast to coast.
Truly, Uncle Monty.
+The Armistice, 2oo8.

Next, I'll be visiting and writing about Europe's "New Temple of Greed."
