Author and columnist John Longenecker writes on American Sovereignty, and individual sovereignty figures big. His emphasis has been on citizen authority and tapping into it as the first recommended solution to school shootings and, in fact, all disaster planning.
In the critique of school shootings and other massacres, Longenecker's forecast has been that panels, law enforcement and other official bodies will freeze citizens out of the analysis and planning. It's happening again on schedule.
"This short-circuits citizen authority by hiding the ball," notes Longenecker. "Officials have only that authority we give them, and that has never meant exclusivity and complete refusal to include the supreme authority of constituents."
Longenecker emphasizes his one recommendation: "Gun control fails because it obfuscates citizen authority to act. So do panels which freeze citizens out of the critique. This means forecasting the next shooter is useless; we should be preparing the next victims to act with their authority and stop frustrating that authority."
Longenecker says that over-reliance on agencies - including critique and planning - is a trap. Catch his analysis at his column's base of operations, www.GoodForTheCountry.com
