If eroding Americans' Second Amendment right is your
thing, then I suppose your choice for president this election year is pretty
simple. That would be Hitlery, who, by
the way, just received the backing of 20 groups who support stricter gun
control. I always find myself
questioning what actually motivates someone to be in favor of forcing the
citizens of this country to become utterly defenseless, not only within a
society that has become increasingly dangerous, but also against a government
that has grown increasingly powerful and intrusive. And it would seem that there is a mountain of
evidence available that would show that stricter gun laws have no effect on
increasing public safety. That’s just
part of the continuing propaganda effort we see coming from the left.
According to Guns.com, Hitlery, who has a ‘broad
package’ of gun control initiatives to harass law-abiding gun owners and do
nothing to stop violent crime -- oops, I mean initiatives to curb gun violence,
already had the support of the Brady Campaign, former New York Mayor ‘Nanny
Mike’ Bloomberg’s ‘Everytown for Gun Safety’, and former U.S. Rep. Gabby
Giffords’ ‘Americans for Responsible Solutions’. A coalition of 16 more smaller groups
endorsed her Tuesday as well, including the Newtown Action Alliance, States
United to Prevent Gun Violence Action Fund, CeaseFire Pennsylvania, New Yorkers
Against Gun Violence, and Rabbis Against Gun Violence. I’d be more than a little curious to know
from whom it is that these groups acquire their funding, from some pretty shady
sources I’ll bet.
And it was someone by the name of Po Murray, described
as being the head of the Newtown Action Alliance, told Guns.com via an email:
“The 2016 Election is one of the most consequential for the gun violence
prevention movement. For four long years
since the Sandy Hook School shooting, Congress has failed to take any action to
strengthen the nation’s lax gun laws. Since that tragic day, Congressional inaction
has contributed to 400,000 Americans being killed or injured by guns and
increasing incidents of mass shootings that have devastated more and more
communities across the nation.” The
nation’s lax gun laws? Really? And what is someone named Po likely to know
about the state of our nation’s gun laws?
Obviously, not very much if she’d advocating for even more laws.
In addition, the Coalition to Stop Handgun Violence
issued an endorsement of Hitlery on Wednesday, one that praised her platform of
gun restrictions and blasted Trump in a statement also emailed to Guns.com:
“Donald Trump has embraced the gun lobby’s irresponsible rhetoric and policies
that contribute to our nation’s gun violence epidemic. The NRA has broken its
campaign advertising record by spending at least $26 million to help elect Trump.
At best, a Trump administration would simply accept the status quo on gun
violence in America. At worst, Trump and the NRA would dismantle existing laws
that keep guns out of dangerous hands and instigate violence.” Well this group certainly has the propaganda
spiel down. Too bad they don’t have a
clue what they’re talking about!
According to the Center for Responsive Politics,
Everytown has contributed $61,694 to Hitlery while Bloomberg’s Independence USA
PAC has donated $788,926. Second Amendment groups like the NRA and their
Institute for Legislative Action have spent at least $26.8 million in support
of Trump. Two other large gun rights groups, Gun Owners of America and the
National Association of Gun Rights, have restricted their spending this year to
congressional races. Which, I suppose,
may look like a good idea paper but I question the wisdom of such a decision. Because over the course of the last 6 years
how many times have we all been lied to by those running for either the Senate
or the House? How many times have they
promised to stop Barry, and done nothing?
Hence, we have now have Trump.
Look, the founders of this nation knew that
regardless of the form of government, those in power would likely become
corrupt and then seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the
populace of the colonies. It’s not
difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a populace that is much
easier to control. Thus, the Second
Amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. And it must be preserved and safeguarded at
all costs. These idiots seem to think
that the Supreme Court or some executive order illegally issued will be able to
do what they cannot get done in Congress, i.e., a gun ban. The problem with that is there are 45-50
million gun owners in America with 400 million guns. What do they plan to do if
we all simply refuse to comply with their mandates?
Or are the anti-gun loons really stupid enough to
think that every gun owner in America will simply fall into line because that’s
what they always do? I hate to be the
one to have to tell them but most of us who do own a gun will likely be telling
them to go piss up a rope! Because most,
if not all, of them have no real concept of how intensely many of us view those
which are deemed to be our GOD-given rights or that living in freedom is more
important than anything else. And where
is it, exactly, that these clones came up with their claim of 400,000 Americans
being killed or injured by guns. As is
usually the case with these people, whatever the cause, did they just pull that
number out of their collective ass and assume that it would be believed? Do they really think that most Americans are
that stupid?
So anyway, we have 20 gun control groups now
endorsing Hitlery. Big f*cking deal.
These groups, along with Democrat politicians at any level, want to see
the Second Amendment gutted forever. We already know when it comes of strict
guns laws, these laws are not working in cities and states controlled by
Democrats. I’m still waiting for a
solution to the car trunk loophole by some Democrat politician. But I know they have none when it comes to
buying a gun off of the street illegally, which is how criminals get their
guns. What is needed is not MORE gun
laws, but the enforcing of those gun laws that are already on the books. But see, if we were to actually start doing
that, then there would be less violence occurring and therefore less of an
apparent need for MORE, and stricter, gun laws.
The more accurate claim, as long as we’re going to
be throwing numbers around, is 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms
in a country the population of which is 330 million, give or take a few
hundred-thousand. Now after doing the
math that’s roughly 0.0000925% of the population that die from gun related
actions each and every year.
Statistically speaking, that’s relative insignificant amount! But the part of the story that is never told
is what the actual breakdown of those deaths actually are. Which is: 65% of those deaths are by suicide
which would never be prevented by gun laws, 15% are by law enforcement in the
line of duty and justified, 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug
related or mentally ill persons, and 3% are accidental discharge deaths.
So technically when taking all things into account,
"gun violence" is not really 30,000 annually, but is actually
5,100. Still too many for our anti-gun
friends? Because if so, let’s just see
how those deaths are dispersed across the entire nation. And in using the most recent data available
what we would find is that there were 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago, 344
homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore, 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit and
119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior
years). So basically, 25% of all gun
crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of
those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the
root cause. So it’s simple really, gun
control is about ‘people control’; nothing more, nothing less. And that’s what we need to be focused on.
