So… President Obama’s gun regulation proposals are the
answer, eh?
The far left, the really extreme left, say,
“Take the guns away so that any wackadoo out there who might want
to shoot-up a bunch of civilians won’t have the guns to do
so!”
It also seems that the mainstream media want us to think
that mass-shooters are, by overwhelming majority, white American men, since we
practically only get publicity surrounding events where white American men were
the shooters. As if to say, ‘The problem can’t be blamed on immigrants, or
nonwhites – white American men are the shooters in these mass killing sprees –
so eliminate the guns!’
As Ann Coulter denotes in the following segment of her
weekly column found at http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2015-10-07.html
:
“The
media act as if they're performing a public service by refusing to release
details about the perpetrator of the recent mass shooting at a community college
in Oregon. But we were given plenty of information about Dylan Roof, Adam
Lanza, James Holmes and Jared
Loughner.
Now,
quick: Name the mass shooters at the Chattanooga military recruitment center;
the Washington Navy Yard; the high school in Washington state; Fort Hood (the
second time) and the Christian college in California. All those shootings also
occurred during the last three years.
The
answers are: Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, Kuwaiti; Aaron Alexis, black, possibly
Barbadian-American; Jaylen Ray Fryberg, Indian; Ivan Antonio Lopez, Hispanic;
and One L. Goh, Korean immigrant.
The
perpetrator of the latest massacre, Chris Harper-Mercer, was a half-black
immigrant, so the media are refusing to get too specific about him. They don't
want to reward the fiend with
publicity!”
My point is, we can’t blame this on a particular
demographic. American or foreigner on American soil, black or
white, young or old, and so-forth.
Plus, look… we already HAVE gun regulation and gun laws.
We hardly enforce them.
We could start there.
If we REALLY HAVE TO support some of these regulation
proposals, let’s stick to the ones
that generally stand to bar folks such as those with diagnoses like
paranoid
schizophrenia from
legally owning weaponry… that’d be a good way to
go.
As if there’s no way to predict who might be a
mass-shooter. Oh please.
Yes, you know what? We have more privately-owned guns
than most other countries. But, as Ann noted, “Between a third and half of
all Americans have guns in the home.”
Don’t you suppose that if GUN OWNERSHIP PLAYED THAT MUCH
OF A ROLE IN FOLKS COMMITTING MASS MURDER, we’d ALL BE DEAD BASED ON THE
GUN OWNERSHIP RATE IN THIS COUNTRY?!!?
Last point worth noting from Ann: “While a tiny percentage of mentally ill are
violent, a gigantic percentage of mass shooters are mentally
ill.”
Let that SINK
IN.
The only GUN REGULATION we need is to KEEP THEM OUT OF THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE A HISTORY OF VIOLENT INSTABILITY.
The only GUN REGULATION we need is to KEEP THEM OUT OF THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE A HISTORY OF VIOLENT INSTABILITY.
But it sounds as though the Left would rather disarm law-abiding citizens on the chance that it'll decrease violent crime.
Take a look at history books and see
what happens when the GOVERNMENT DISARMS ITS PEOPLE? Yep, there comes the
inner-Libertarian. Let’s not forget, “You cannot defend the First Amendment
without the Second Amendment.” [–anonymous]
The following proposed regulations by President
Obama are, in my opinion, there to do NOTHING other than INFRINGE UPON THE
RIGHTS of Americans - likely to guarantee compliance and control under an ever-growing authoritarian U.S. government:
- Ban military-style assault weapons and limits
magazines to a capacity of 10 rounds (WHY? WHAT FOR?)
- Provide additional tools to law enforcement. The plan
proposes a crackdown on gun trafficking by asking Congress to pass legislation
that closes “loopholes” in gun trafficking laws and establishes strict penalties
for “straw purchasers” who pass a background check and then pass guns on to
prohibited people (WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE MENTALLY-UNSTABLE PERSON
WHO TOOK HIS OWN LEGALLY-OWNED GUN, OR BORROWED IT FROM A FAMILY MEMBER/FRIEND,
TO USE TO COMMIT MASS MURDER?)
- Urge Congress to pass the administration’s $4 billion
proposal to keep 15,000 state and local police officers on the street to help
deter gun crime. (WHERE’S THE PROOF THAT ADDITIONAL POLICE ON THE STREETS WILL
DETER GUN CRIME?)
- Launch a national gun safety campaign to encourage
responsible gun ownership and authorizes the Consumer Product Safety Commission
to examine issues relating to gun safety locks. (I PERSONALLY VERY MUCH DOUBT
THAT A GUN SAFETY LOCK WILL KEEP A MENTALLY-ILL INDIVIDUAL WHO IS HELLBENT ON
COMMITTING MASS-MURDER FROM DOING EXACTLY THAT… NOR DO I THINK THE AUTHORITIES
HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT GUN SAFETY LOCKS HAD A ROLE IN THE PAST SHOOTERS’ KILLING
SPREES.
At least we’re not to the point where the FAR-LEFT is actually ANYWHERE NEAR seeing the citizens of America truly defenseless. If THEY want to hand over their liberties, by all means… but so long as there are liberty-loving Americans out there who will defend the Second Amendment, and its importance in defending the First Amendment right, God willing, we will never quite see the day.
The questions remains, however, as to how much ground we
WILL eventually sacrifice, & how much money we WILL eventually spend, in
misguided attempts at controlling situations that, QUITE LITERALLY, are
based in INSANITY, like mass shootings?
Yours in freedom,
