The Time Has Come to ARM
The case for an American Revolution Movement for Self-Defense.
By Lloyd Billingsley • July 3, 2020
Last week in St. Louis, an angry mob trespassed on the property of Mark and Patricia McCloskey and threatened harm to the couple. “I was a person scared for my life who was protecting my wife, my home, my hearth, my livelihood,†McCloskey told reporters, describing his state of mind as he brandished an AR-15 and Patricia brandished a handgun. Their actions kept the mob at bay and brought to light another chilling reality.
Local prosecutor Kimberly Gardner faulted the McCloskeys for protecting their lives and property. Missouri State Representative Rasheen Aldridge, who organized the protest, claimed “We’re not doing anything where we’re hurting anyone or putting anyone in danger.†The McCloskeys, both attorneys, recognized the danger but no local, state, or national organization came to their aid.
Democrat politicians have held the police and National Guard at bay as violent mobs loot, burn, and take over sections of major cities such as Seattle. No local, state, or national network came to the aid of these embattled Americans, who had done nothing wrong. Victims of mob violence could use such a network, and its foundation, the American Revolution, already took place.
A network such as ARM, the American Revolution Movement for Self Defense, would preserve the revolution’s gains. That means bourgeois trifles such as the rights to life, liberty, and property; freedom of speech; and of course the right to keep and bear arms. These need restating, and ARM could clarify other realities that have escaped notice in all this excitement.
No moral defect accrues to any human being because of factors they cannot control, such as age and skin shade. Likewise, no person automatically gains status or privilege for those reasons. ARM would welcome all who recognize those truths.
