New gun control thread!


Recommended Posts

Might as well throw this in here:

"A liberal paradise would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns." "And believe it or not, such a place does, indeed, exist, It's called prison."

--Sheriff Joe Arpaio; Maricopa County Sheriff's Office

Wow! Maybe we should do what they do

In Switzerland, in the year 2008, there were only 20 non-suicide related gun deaths!

Is Switzerland near Austria? Get it? LOL

 

So how do you suggest we get rid of all the guns say in the "flatlands" of Oakland?

Why do you care? Will you have a right to own a gun in Costa Rica?

Have you looked at the gun laws in the country you are running away to?

 

Have you looked at gun laws ANYWHERE? Or are you just bloviating from the simpleton's "UK bans guns, US allows them" perspective?

 

Rhetorical question, no need to respond. We already know the answer.

Black shooter? Gee...

There has to be a cop behind it. Somehow. Three times as many black victims as in the Michael Brown case and nary a peep from the protesters carrying the "Black Lives Matter" signs?

 

Black lives apparently only matter when a police officer takes them. Never mind that number being in the neighborhood of 100 or so a year. The 12,000 black lives that are taken annually by other black people are virtually meaningless.

Why Gun-Control Advocates Lie about Guns :The facts aren’t on their side.

By Charles C W Cooke

 

Angered by the news that American voters are now more supportive of the Second Amendment than they have been in two decades, the New York Daily News’s Mike Lupica used his weekend column to vent. Over the course of 900 words, Lupica lambasted the public for continuing “to protect gun nuts,” chided the “mouth-breathing” NRA for its murderous myopia, and contended emotively that “there are no words” available to describe the horror of “a recent poll that says a majority of Americans believe it is more important to protect the right to own guns than it is for the government to limit access to guns.”

 

And then, having established his moral bona fides for all to see, he tried to sneak a brazen lie past his audience:

The flyers on the table feature a picture of a beautiful, smiling girl with a pink bow in her hair, with Christmas and her whole life ahead of her until Adam Lanza walked into her school on a Friday morning with an automatic weapon — the kind of gun we are told must be protected or the Second Amendment is turned into a dishrag — and started shooting.

 

That Lupica would knowingly write these words should be of great concern to anybody who is concerned with the truth. There were no “automatic” weapons used at Sandy Hook. Rather, Adam Lanza used a standard semi-automatic rifle of the sort that millions upon millions of Americans have in their homes. Moreover, Mike Lupica knows this full well, for on every other occasion he has written about the AR-15, he has described it correctly.

 

{snip}

 

It is a matter of fact that the worst mass shooting in all of American history was carried out at Virginia Tech by a disturbed young man who had nothing more than two handguns in his possession — one of them a thoroughly unimpressive .22-calibre Walther. How, one wonders, does Lupica explain this? Moreover, one wonders what evidence he can marshal to support his presumption that AR-15s are causing particular havoc on America’s streets. In 2011, FBI data show, 6,220 Americans were killed with handguns, 356 were killed with shotguns, and 323 were killed with all types of rifle. In the same year, 1,694 Americans were killed with knives; 728 were murdered by “hands, fists, feet, etc.; and 496 were slayed with blunt instruments. The number of incidents involving AR-15-style “assault” rifles, meanwhile, was so tiny that the FBI didn’t even bother to keep statistics.

 

But who cares, right? Black gun scary. NRA crazy. Shootings sad. Automatic, shmautomatic. The real question: Are you on the right side? No? Me good. You bad. Let’s not get bogged down in the facts.
