When it comes to more recent New York City politics
it’s pretty obvious that the nut doesn’t fall very far from the tree. But since he has served in both Boston and
Los Angeles, Mr. Bratton’s rather leftward slant regarding gun rights, besides
coming as no surprise, likely made him the ideal choice as, current communist
mayor of ‘The Big Apple’, Bill de Blasio’s police commissioner. This is his second shot at being the city’s
top cop, the first time around Bratton was forced to resign while under
investigation for accepting unauthorized trips from corporations as well as
individuals. Which I guess, was seen as
being a resume enhancer.
Anyway, it was on Communist News Network (CNN)
earlier this week that New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton was discussing
terrorism and Donald Trump, and after watching a clip host Don Lemon played
featuring Trump saying that Americans are under threat from foreign terrorists
coming in to this country, Bratton responded by saying that it’s Americans and
guns that are actually the biggest problem we face. This has become the typical mantra of many on
the left as they work to increase their efforts to rip from the hands of law
abiding Americans that which is something constitutionally guaranteed to them.
Frankly, it’s this kind of idiotic drivel, that
Americans are somehow more of a threat to the country than are these Muslim
terrorists, that is so offensive and on many fronts. But is especially grotesque when hearing it
from the top cop in the city that is now home to a somber memorial at Ground
Zero. Terrorism, both domestic and foreign-born, has nothing to do with the
availability of guns. The notion that the Second Amendment enables terror of
any kind is demonstrably false -- because that is what he is saying: not that
we face a threat from criminals who use guns, but we face a threat from
Americans "who have access to firearms."
It's all the gun's fault, you see. It's the EASY
access. It’s not the threat from Islamic
terrorists. A threat that is on the
rise, is brutal, leaves many casualties in its wake, is frequent, and has
consequences well beyond just the tragic deaths and injuries. And too many of our leaders, mostly
Democrats, seem not to be all that concerned.
And you would think that a police commissioner should know these
things. That a New York City police
commissioner, especially, should live and breathe them. What a despicable, politically correct,
factually bereft rant from a committed leftist gun-control fanatic. How
typical. How utterly predictable. How
dangerous.
But Chief, if guns are illegal in Chicago, what the
Hell is going on there? How many gun
related deaths have already occurred there in this still very young year? Hold on a minute, I’ll tell you: As of yesterday (30 Mar) 128 were shot and
killed, 673 were shot and wounded. Now I
would argue that if guns were legal in ‘The Windy City, both numbers would not
only be lower, but would likely be significantly lower. But then, Bill, you don’t want to hear
that. But look, this latest example is
but one more reason, on what apparently is a very long list of many, why
Bratton is hated by the NYPD rank and file, and basically anyone with an ounce
of sense who knows him.
Bratton’s idiotic premise that "Americans with
guns pose a bigger threat than terrorism" is so patently false and for any
number of reasons. Not the least of
which are: 1) It is physically impossible to eliminate the 300 million guns in
America; only the LEGAL ones can regulated, but it’s the ILLEGAL ones which do
the most damage. 2) Firearms accidents, etc., like far more pervasive
automobile accidents, are relatively constant year-by-year, whereas terrorism
has demonstrated at least the potential to grow exponentially, as it has
recently in Europe. 3) And then, as we saw in San Bernardino, Americans WITHOUT
Guns are really nothing more than soft targets for these murdering
Muslims. Imagine if just one of those
victims had actually had a gun. How much
lower would the body count have been?
And what’s scary is the fact that this imbecile is
responsible for keeping New Yorkers safe.
New Yorkers should be afraid, VERY afraid! The biggest threat to our Constitution and
our way of life are people like this guy who think our 'rights' are the
problem. My guess is this nut believes that
Mike Brown was "shot with his hands in the air". It’s the dumbing down of America. It should frighten every single American that
complete morons like this boob are able to get into such positions, being
responsible for things that are so far beyond the capabilities or their
intelligence. We insist upon granting to
these losers on the left far too much control over our lives.
