Myth of Gun Control
« 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."

Thank you Marshal'ette.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

they forgot John Howard though
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

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.
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

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.
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies." (Groucho Marx)

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.


Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
