Historic Gun Control: Wounded Knee Massacre, December 29, 1890

Burial of Native American dead at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, 1891.

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)-– When people are disarmed, they are at the mercy of those who have disarmed them. History is full of instances where mercy was in short supply.

The desperate fight, which became a massacre at Wounded Knee, on December 29, 1890, was one of the better recorded of such events. From Britannica.com:

Forsyth was clear in his terms: the Miniconjou must surrender all their weapons. Big Foot was hesitant, but he surrendered a few guns as a token of peace. Forsyth was not satisfied and ordered a complete search of the people and their camp, where his men discovered a host of hidden weapons. The increasingly intrusive search angered some of the Miniconjou. A man named Sits Straight began to dance the Ghost Dance and attempted to rouse the other members of the band, claiming that bullets would not touch them if they donned their sacred ghost shirts. The soldiers grew tense as Sits Straight’s dance reached a frenzy. When a deaf Miniconjou named Black Coyote refused to give up his gun, the weapon accidentally went off, and the fraught situation turned violent as the 7th Cavalry opened fire. Because many of the Miniconjou had already given up their weapons, they were left defenseless.

In the end, between 150 and 300 Lakota Sioux, of which the Miniconjou were a part, were killed.

Nicolo Machiavelli gives advice to those who desire to obtain and keep power. From The Discourses:

“For it is enough to ask a man to give up his arms, without telling him that you intend killing him with them; after you have the arms in hand, then you can do your will with them.”  The Discourses end of chapter XLIV

For those who tell Americans to trust the United States government to protect them, if only they will give up their guns, consider the words of the British poet, Rudyard Kipling, in Gods of the Copybook Headings:

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.

They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”

In China, 300,000 disarmed soldiers and civilians were killed by the Japanese army in Nanjing (Nanking).

These events are not limited to the recent past. In India, Muslim invaders routinely captured tens of thousands of soldiers, disarmed them, and killed them. From hinduwebsite.com:

Akbar ordered a general massacre of 30,000 Rajputs after he captured Chithor in 1568. The Bahamani Sultans had an annual agenda of killing a minimum of 10,0000 Hindus every year. The history of medieval India is full of such instances.

Those who disarm others seldom do it for the good, of the others, although the excuse is frequently used in democracies. In the 1920s the British government took steps to disarm its own people. The excuse was crime (crime was at historical lows). The real reason was a fear of revolution. It has been well documented by Joyce Lee Malcolm and Colin Greenwood. 

The founders were aware of the history of disarmed peoples. It is one of the main reasons the Second Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights.

The reason many Americans own weapons is that they have a very long memory of the terrible things that happened in history to people without weapons, whereas fools soon forget

and this is why full auto IS necessary ,you dont even have to go back 50 years to the last government atrocity, no one was jailed for waco, janet reno should have been hung use tanks against citizens , anything like this happens those in charge directly to jail agency dissolved all employees blacklisted cant work for government or companies with government contracts you want a agency to self police tell everyone if anyone at the agency violates bill of rights they are out of a job no pension no ss contribution , there would be more internal cleansing power… Read more »

They got around it (legally, not morally) with “loopholes.”

One that allows the military to get involved if there is evidence of a drug operation. The government fabricated evidence in both cases (there were no drug operations).

The other “loophole,” is the military can provide equipment, consumables, training, and “advice.” Also, the military has civilian employees they can send in for technical roles – electronic surveillance/jamming.

I wonder how many military lawyers weighed-in on those decisions.

Russn8r

Demonized with “child sex abuse” too. Janet Reno got a natl standing ovulation. Better to have a child burned alive than “abused”!

Most “R” authority-fellaters made excuses. Often-pro-liberty ex-prosecutor Dave Kopel decreed they would’ve been convicted of kiddie sex crime: Easy since the dead can’t defend themselves. Why F with trials? Save time & $. Let DAs or cops sentence the “accused”. It’s the reality anyway with the destruction of jury power & fair trial since the late 1800s. Trials are for show.

If local, rural, Texas law enforcement had not called-in the BATFE to investigate possible violations of unconstitutional firearm laws, the local child services agency could have continued their investigation into allegations of sexual abuse of minors.

Unnecessary, since Dave Kopel decreed them guilty.

When I wrote about that that before, a former enforcer said I was wrong and he “heard from the horses mouth” that local law enforcement did not call-in the BATFE. I provided the link to the public hearing in which local law enforcement testified that it was them who initiated contact with the BATFE.

The silence (when abuses of power are discussed) is deafening (and indicative).

With the insanity of the Chinese virus going on in Australia, I fear they may be the next victims of an unchecked ruling class.
When guns are outlawed, only rogue governments will have guns.

JSNMGC

The Australians still have plenty of guns.

Their problem is they are too polite to the police who are arresting them and sending them off to internment camps.

We suffer from the same problem in the U.S. – a large percentage of the people back the Blue, no matter what they do.

Support for law enforcement should be conditional.

Australians are the victims of police.

Aussie ≈ Wussie. The problem wasn’t turning in their guns. It was turning in their balls to the police. The USA isn’t far behind. Look at Ted Cruz. “Assault” on “courageous” capitol police officers = “violent terrorism”. He committed public suicide fellating the enforcer lobby.

What would have happened last year (around August), if 10 Australian police simply disappeared? I wonder if the relative value of the government job of the rest of the police would have decreased.

I think perhaps your focus may be a bit off. The Aussie gestapo are simply tools in the hands of the real problem. The focus should be on the puppet master politicians ‘disappearing’.

Russn8r

Everyone who passes them, and everyone who enforces them, should disappear.

Finnky

Masterminds behind the action may be the root of the evil and deserving of whatever justice you can mete out – but if you waited to act the enforcers are the immediate threat and the more accessible target.

Russn8r

Yep. What will the authority-fellaters do when the police get a bogus “red flag” tip & come for the “arsenal” or take the kiddies for “abuse” (spanking, not vaccinating, not using their special pronouns, not letting them take birth control, getting upset if they were raped in school by trannies, not letting them have a sex-change, “just” saying no, etc)?

No, my focus is spot on. There are people in Australia (just like in the U.S.) who did more than vote and donate to organizations who lobby on their behalf. Those people met each other in person, made plans to influence the political outcome through activism, and executed the plans. They did everything they could, and it didn’t work. Then, armed government employees did the bidding of those tyrants in power. When armed government employees (whether they are the Red Guard, the NKVD, Allgemeine Schutzstaffel, Gestapo, Social Security Ministry, State Security Department, Angkar, or Australian Police) begin confiscating firearms or hauling people… Read more »

OlTrailDog

Looks like you may have focus may have thought your focus was spot on, but you didn’t account for the extreme windage, so to speak. The “armed government employees”, i.e. the soldiers, paramilitary groups, secret police, police, and the many many permutations of such groups, rarely are acting alone without the direct input from their superiors, aka politicians leading the totalitarian efforts. Sure it may happen, but that is indeed the exception to the rule. Next time I’d suggest check for range and windage and you might be spot on.

JSNMGC

Oh, I’ve checked. Of course they are not “acting alone” – they are following orders. It’s what those kinds of people do.

I suggest you consider that if the NKVD had started disappearing, there would be less NKVD interested in murdering people or hauling them off to gulags. It would have been in the NKVD’s best interest to have a discussion with their bosses.

Next time, I suggest you not appologize for thugs and murderers and not haul out the tired “just following orders” excuse.

OlTrailDog

See, it must be an extreme windage problem. I searched high and low and do not see myself or anyone hauling out the “just following orders” excuse. Go ahead, hit ctrl F enter “just following orders” and you too can be spot on.

JSNMGC

The NKVD had apologists in the tenements too. As Solzhenitsyn pointed out, the people would have been better off if they had bashed in the brains of the NKVD as they entered their residences. You continue to argue against that point of view. You wrote: “I think perhaps your focus may be a bit off. The Aussie gestapo are simply tools in the hands of the real problem.

So you think cops should get a pass on accountability for enforcing unconstitutional, unconscionable laws and order. Thanks for coming out with that.

JSNMGC

Can you imagine some Soviet citizen in the Fall of 1936 telling his fellow tenement comrades: “the NKVD are just following orders, let them eat their Ponchiki, collect their pay, and haul off our neighbors – the real problem is Stalin, let’s go get him!”

I guess this is as good a place as any to reply to the ‘straw man twins’. Not only do I not see anywhere that I asserted any of the government employees were to be excused from “just following orders”, I also fail to see where I stated “cops should get a pass”. (Let’s also remember this is about many other categories of armed government employees too, e.g. soldiers as well as the multitude of agency LEOs) Sorry that I can’t fall for the straw man assertions, but what I did state is that the ‘focus’ should be on the… Read more »

You believe the “focus” should be on the politicians.

What do you think should have been done in 1936 when groups of NKVD agents came to apartment buildings and hauled off individuals to be murdered or kept in gulags?

swmft

the protectors of the people should have taken down the politicians, but instead served them no pass if you enforce criminal edicts and laws YOU ARE A CRIMINAL

JSNMGC

Exactly. The NKVD was more terrified of the politicians than the people. If they were more terrified of the people, they may have chosen to have a discussion with the politicians. The Australian police should have protected the people from the politicians (by doing absolutely nothing). When they didn’t (and started hauling people off to internment camps), the people should have taken Solzhenitsyn’s advice. There are posters here who back the Blue, no matter what they do (including hauling-off their neighbors to internment camps). If it wasn’t for police, mask mandates would have no effect. They would merely be the… Read more »

OlTrailDog

If the government employees acted independently, a rarity, or at the behest of their superiors, most often the case, they should be held culpable. But you are failing to get at the root or focal point of the problem that typically occurs and that is those who are directing the government employees, aka politicians or those in positions of power. Both groups are, or will be, accountable for their actions as individuals and hopefully collectively too.

JSNMGC

No one is “failing to get at the root or focal point of the prroblem [sic] that typically occurs and that is those who are directing government employees, aka politicians or those in power.”

We all know the goons are “just following orders.”

We don’t accept that excuse. When armed government employees attempt to follow orders and haul off their neighbors, people should follow Solzhenitsyn’s advice.

swmft

you are failing to understand what the framers of the constitution did. the police will do whatever criminal act that is postulated and have, it is up to the few good people to stop them and their bosses if police in general were good they would oppose anything that would harm others, and they would stand in harms way not run and hide, a stand down order would be met with a polite no sir peoples lives are at risk and their livelihoods

Russn8r

Nice projection, Agt Straw. JFOs is descriptive, not an alleged quote. “cops should get a pass” translates your POV that only higher ups should be accountable, impossible when millions of enforcers are “doing their job”. Try some windage. Who do you think you’re kidding? You’re not that simple.

Twins? Your coy deflection is akin to WB’s. Straw socks?

You’re on to us. The abuses of the Red Guard, the NKVD, Allgemeine Schutzstaffel, Gestapo, Social Security Ministry, State Security Department, Angkar, and the Australian Police are all made up.

There are some places where it doesn’t make one bit of difference if the people knocking on the door are wearing medals signifying they are heroes of the Soviet Union, or whether they are wearing U.S. federal costumes, local county costumes, or if they are sportin’ U.S. Army collar brass.

The only thing that matters is if they are hauling off their neighbors who did nothing wrong.

Unintentionally or on purpose, you have it wrong again. I discourage civil war, while you two try to manipulate others into it.
Ambush is just one basic tactic that every 11B officer learns, along with patrolling, attacking a fixed position, hasty defense, overwatch, break contact, check point operations, retrograde operations, and MOUNT.

JSNMGC

I don’t try to manipulate people. I don’t want a civil war. You’re lying again (like you did with “ah”). I work to prevent legislation that would lead to more oppression (which is one of the underlying reasons for civil war). Another way to mitigate the probability of civil war is for enforcers to refuse to enforce the most egregious, unconscionable laws. No one needs a rundown of the 11B training.

A corollary fear of the Framers was a standing army, which local & federal police have effectively become in addition to the official standing army, which is bad enough.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Caree Vander Linden April 26, 2018 (301) 619-2285 Fort Detrick, MD [email protected] Study of Bat Natural Immunity to Marburg Virus May Shed Light on Human Disease Scientists examining the genome of Egyptian fruit bats, a natural reservoir for the deadly Marburg virus, have identified several immune-related genes that suggest bats deal with viral infections in a substantially different way than primates. Their research, published online today in the journal CELL, demonstrates that bats may be able to host viruses that are pathogenic in humans by tolerating—rather than overcoming—the infection. Bats are… Read more »

Funny how they put it in your face. Look at the 2020 state quarters. One has the fruit bat on it. Any idea how long it takes to make these in advance from drawing, to making the first strike ?

And, what of our government agents that funded the development of the virus????

Including, apparently, DARPA

You know what is missing?
By June 2020
China only claims 85,000 deaths.
18 months later they are at only 103,000 deaths.
Either they are lying or they vaccinated everyone before the rest of the world knew about the virus.
Either way they need to go.

“…ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars…all these things must come to pass….” The “tribes” were no different than any of the other “tribes” that have occupied this world throughout history. That is, they shall war against each other. The warring aboriginal tribes and the conquering Europeans are just another chapter in the same old book and not some fairy tale of an admirable “way of life”. Unfortunately, this will continue and each of us must decide our part in life. Make no mistake, the Chinese CCP, Russian oligarchs, or the American leftists will slaughter us without a… Read more »

You might get your wish. The following is a private email from a friend of mine in the AMC. I have redacted it to keep that person anonymous: “…One thing public health have suppressed are autopsies.  A recent study of autopsies of people who died soon after receiving the mRNA drugs show 14 of 15 of the deaths were due to mRNA drugs;   https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/bhakdiburkhardt-pathology-results   I was recently asked to research blood donations and the status relative to the pandemic (Scamdemic).  There is currently no waiting period to donate blood after using mRNA drugs.  However, if you have a Covid-positive test you… Read more »

Make the lies big.

Make the lies obvious.

Be outraged if the lies are not believed.

Lie: The numerous and vast organizations (that are lavishly funded) that are supposed to ensure people do not live in the U.S. illegally, do a good job. That’s all they do, so they must do a good job.

Fact: There are tens of millions of people living in the U.S. illegally.

Dementia Joe imports 2.2 million per year, after other presidents imported 1-1.8 million per year for decades. They represent foreign countries’ citizens over American citizens.

I agree. It has definitely accelerated significantly, but it’s nothing new.

It was also not that complicated to fix. Very few politicians (over many decades) have been interested in doing what was necessary to put the brakes on.

Immigration was 100k-200k/year for 40 years from Coolidge through Eisenhower, culminating in the USA’s greatest quality of life in the 1950s-early’60s. Destroyed by the 1965 Immigration Act, Nixon opening China, progressive border subversion, deluge immigration laws, amnesties & 1-way “free trade” deals.

JSNMGC, Reading this I am reminded of the Jan. 6/21 Democrat Lies to Incarcerate the Protestors at the Capitol for ……trespassing !

Laddyboy

“insurrection” was the key phrase. However, NO ONE has been prosecuted for insurrection. As you have stated; Trespassing has been used. Even though Government Agents REMOVED fencing where “later” arrivals did not know of the fences. Antifa/anarchists were there breaking and entering. How about the video where BATS were being handed OUT of a window of the Capital Building! THAT video has been REMOVED from the internet.

well, when i was a kid, I knew a black boy who lived with his grandmother most of the year, I asked once why he stayed with her not his parents, and he told me they worked picking fruit and did not stay in one place for him to go to school , today his mother would have kids and get government money. discourage hard work bring in illegals to keep pay low. corral people in jobless cites no pride no hope then tell them if they do what you say things will get better my child hood friend did… Read more »

Murders by gangs and other non-government employees are insignificant compared to those committed by government employees. This is an area where government employees really shine.

Vasily was just following orders and doing his job:

Quite the conundrum. By your logic, and the excellent links provided, LEO also equals soldiers. Unfortunately, us soldiers have been both the guarantors of liberty and the tools of slaughter. Sobering thoughts.

JSNMGC

The military in those countries enforced laws and in other ways carried out the domestic directives of political leadership.

the police became militarized, look around it is happening here

JSNMGC

I agree and the U.S. military is sometimes involved in domestic law enforcement.

The military also sometimes participates in political theatrics:

how about the Oklahoma court win half of the state belongs to the tribes, how many treaties has the government made and then ignored or ran over with the excuse of “overseeing” Indian affairs black hills anyone?

Russn8r

Indian “treaties” & genocidal massacres by “whites” are another shameful part of US history, like slavery. But not surprising in context. The myth of the humane, noble, politically correct, eco-sensitive savage is easily exposed. Horrific torture was a given. So there was great hatred on both sides.

Extra sad is the treatment of tribes that were Christianized or Christianizing, ranching & farming as “whites” claimed they wanted them to do. Then greedy racist “whites” who wanted their land would take it in genocidal pogroms &/or new “treaties”.

Forsyth was promoted after the Massacre at Wounded Knee. His orders probably didn’t specifically include the murdering of elderly women and small children, but he apparently followed the orders he was given. More collar brass and more medals. I wonder how much he received in pension payments.

Some folks were excited that a Republican was going to be Governor. They were not interested in having a rational discussion of Youngkin’s past (when I posted about it before the election) or that it was fairly clear Youngkin was about as pro 2nd Amendment as Romney and McCain (people they probably not only voted for, but cheered for).

It’s like Lucy holding the football.

Still going on today – mask mandates are only possible because local law enforcement are following orders because they are terrified at the thought of having to work in the private sector.

It seems now to be a ruse……there is, at this time, no proof it is from a reliable source….thank you for reading… if you did

Oldman

Nope! It is not a ruse! Washington has a proposed amendment to state law that will allow the board of health to send WA. State families that violate the vax mandates to be confined to, basically, internment camps. it is: WAC 246-100-40. That sounds pretty much like a Stalinist environment to me.

Wild Bill

From the article: “The Washington State Board of Health may soon amend state law to authorize the involuntary detainment of residents …” So how does the state board of health amend state law?

Oldman

Just about anything lawful or unlawful can be changed by a CCP style government. They will do anything Hitler Inslee wants. He will just do a few ‘special things’ for those that follow his orders.

Wild Bill

Hmmm … I see.
