Guns, Love 'Em or Hate 'Em

Guns, Love 'Em or Hate 'Em

 

No matter what Americans think of them, guns, although inanimate objects, by their nature and construction are fearsome things capable of sending projectiles of various sorts into military targets, into animals, and into people. 

Likewise, no matter what Americans think of them, efforts at passing gun control regulations aimed at restricting the possession, shipment, or sale of firearms, by their nature and construction are fearsome things capable of inflicting what could be irreparable damage to our freedoms and our Constitution.

No one in his right mind would be opposed to restricting gun possession by mentally ill individuals, precisely the public rationale used by President Barack Hussein Obama in his recent proposals to bypass Congress through executive actions issued by the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services.  Intentionally key in both proposals is state sharing of all information gathered with the federal database, effectively an administration end-run toward national gun registration.

Foiled repeatedly by the Republican House of Representatives in accomplishing that goal and other sweeping gun controls, our firearm-fixated president is committed to imposing his will on the American people out of allegedly deep concern over protecting innocent victims from such massacres as Sandy Hook, regardless of the reality that his planned measures will have no real effect in preventing future, similar tragedies.

A new study–the latest of many ignored by liberal-leftists intent on controlling everything in our lives, especially guns–once again essentially confirms that strict gun control laws actually lead to higher murder rates and that regulating so-called “assault weapons” has little impact on murder rates.

The study, conducted by Quinnipiac University economist Mark Gius and published in the journal “Applied Economics Letters,” is titled, “An Examination of the Effects of Concealed Weapons Laws and Assault Weapons Bans on State-level Murder Rates.” 

Based on data accumulated from 1980 to 2009, the controlled study also clearly indicates that states with laws governing concealed weapons had higher gun-related murder rates than other states.

See the complete study, which will have absolutely no influence on the un-thinking lib-left, here http://tinyurl.com/kgjm2mf . Gun control fanatics refuse to be intimidated by contradictory facts or differing points of view.

For example, amid all the administration-staged, anti-gun propaganda on Sandy Hook–the congressional testimony by grieving parents, the photo-ops featuring fearful children, the emotional declarations condemning firearms–little attention was paid to the words spoken by the father of a Sandy Hook Elementary School child last January 28th. . . .

Exploiting Sandy Hook Victims

Exploiting Sandy Hook Victims

 

The sickening tragedy visited on twenty innocent kids and six school personnel by a deranged madman a year ago was gut-wrenching for the residents of Newtown, Connecticut and for all Americans.  Capitalizing in any way or for any purpose on that horrific event represents a disgraceful insult to Adam Lanza’s victims and the people of Newtown and the frenzied anti-gun lobby is in the vanguard of those shameless Sandy Hook exploiters.

Despite incontrovertible evidence that guns save more lives than end lives; despite statistical proof that gun violence is more prevalent in states and municipalities with the strictest gun control laws; despite the reality that criminals will always be able to find and use weapons against law-abiding citizens no matter the law; despite the trite yet true axiom that people, not guns, kill people, liberal-leftists continue their cynical campaign to exploit what happened in Newtown.

Led by our propagandist in chief who used his Saturday radio address to push for national gun controls and seconded by his acolytes in the US Senate like Sen. Dick Durban, et al., their exploitation is having little effect as Americans are purchasing guns in record numbers, an estimated 300 million Americans now own one or more, and Obama’s much-beloved Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment industry continue to churn out ultra-violent movies and video ”games.”

One of Barack Hussein Obama’s most ardent supporters committed one of the most blatant exploitations of the Sandy Hook horror.  WaPo, WashingtonPost.com, saw fit to publish a story clearly designed to create fodder for future diatribes against the Second Amendment. 

Titled, “What’s Your Gun Number? Share Your Gun Story,” the article even provided an online form asking questions such as “How many people do you know who have been killed or injured by gun violence?” and . . . " (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=34610.)
