Title: Myth of Gun Control
Post by: Teresa Heilevang on March 17, 2010, 07:38:29 PM
This is one of the best, mainstream media TV shows to completely expose the "Myth of Gun Control" so even the unenlightened, gun-grabbing types will question their ridiculous anti-gun claims.

"Gun Control - A theory espoused by some monumentally stupid people; who claim to believe, against all logic and common sense, that a violent predator who ignores the laws prohibiting them from robbing, raping, kidnapping, torturing and killing their fellow human beings will obey a law telling them that they cannot own a gun."

The video is simple common sense. 

I ask the same question of every anti I meet:  "If strict gun control laws prevent violent crime, then why are D.C., NYC and Chicago some of the most dangerous, highest crime-rate cities in the nation, and why do the areas that allow LAWFUL concealed carry have some of the LOWEST rates of violent crime?"  That question is normally met with a response that goes something like this:  "Well.......yeah.......but...................."

Common sense is uncommon.  Sad but true.

Most anti's can't think logically and don't respond to logic.  They respond to emotion.  Focusing on controlling the gun is the only thing they can do, and they must do something in an effort to feel good.  How many times have we heard, "If the law saves just one life it is worth it."  Plus, since most anti's are liberal (I said most) they find it difficult to call out bad behavior.  If you call out bad behavior you are being judgmental and you can't judge behavior of an individual bad.  Too many of the liberal platform is dependent on people's bad behavior.

In the year since the Heller decision forced the D.C. government to allow firearms to be kept ready in the home for self defense the murder rate in the city has dropped 30%

Thirty percent of the murder deaths could have been prevented each year for 20+ years?.

That number is utterly astounding.

There isn't sand deep enough to bury your  head far enough to not be aware of that number.

That number should be enough to consider bringing criminal negligence charges against any government official who does not act positively to remove firearms restrictions that hinder self defense.
