After
every shooting, politicians and activists rush to the cameras or their
keyboards to tell people exactly what should be done to stop mass
shootings in the future. Gun control proponents demand more gun control.
Gun rights advocates dig in their heels and explain why new laws won’t
stop evil people from doing evil things, especially when current laws
aren’t adequately enforced.
Unfortunately, the debate between the two sides is rarely
illuminating, as it usually devolves into tired recitations of worn-out
talking points about the issue. These talking points are invariably
littered with myths and factual inaccuracies. Here are 7 myths about gun
control that just won’t die.
The only thing we should remember is that the LEFT wants to take the guns so we do not have the POWER to defend ourselves. It is not about the guns......it is about the control. It is part of undermining the Constitution. Has nothing to do with guns. I
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteThere is an 8th myth about gun control that was not mentioned and perhaps is the most important myth of them all, namely that those who are in favor of even more restrictive laws can be...
ReplyDeleteA) Reasoned with and are reasonable.
B) are interested in objective reality.
C) that Truth matters
D) are willing when presented with facts and evidence will at the minimum consider
that they just might be wrong and be willing to change their mind.
Too many that I have debated the matter with have their minds fossilized shut to every thing that would contradict their view. They generally have no interest in facts, other factors contributing to the misuse of a firearm. It is all about their feelings. They have zero interest in how well gun control has worked out in reality where it has been implemented. They refuse to accept the reality of unintended consequences. They have a standard stock reply that the reason why some gun control measure does not work, is because it was not given enough time to work, or expanded to cover a larger area. Lastly, the refuse to consider that evil is real, and some people are evil. They refuse to consider that some one can be sane and still commit an evil act.
So with the Liberals I know, gun control is one topic I won't discuss with them. It is waste of time. They are the useful idiots and expendable cannon fodder to those for whom gun control is a front for disarming the masses as part of the total control of the masses.

DeleteThanks and same with Communism. :)
In addition, many gun control advocates will admit that their ultimate goal is confiscation. They are liars. They will never compromise, honestly. They operate on pure hate. Firearms like the Confederate flag represents a symbol of your willingness to defy and resist those who want absolute and total control over your life. This they can not abide.
DeleteRemember too, a firearm also represents some thing more than an object. Suppose you go to your local gun store and buy a firearm (what kind and how much does not matter). You have to pay for it with money. What is money? Money represents man-hours of your life (time) which you labored/worked in order to exchange those man-hours for a thing or a service you want. So to have your firearm confiscated from your without consent and without due compensation, means you have worked for nothing. There is a word(s) for that: Slavery and Theft. The word for those who would impose that condition on you, Tyrants. Those who would lie and deceive you: evil.
Thanks and well said.
