Criminal Minds

November 29, 2006

By de Andréa

In spite of the fact that most of the Democrats that were elected to the Congress this fall were at least somewhat conservative, the far left wing politicians again have won control of this once Constitutional Republic. Some of these leftwing extremist Government officials are bigger perpetuators of crime than the criminals on our streets. The following are some of the biggest Criminal Minds in American history, hiding behind the cloak of an elected government representative: Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Patrick Leahy, John Conyers, Dick Durbin, Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, Herb Kohl, and Charles Schumer, just to name a few.

These are just a few examples of the people in Government who have not only sworn to uphold and protect our inalienable Constitutional rights, but should be at least interested in ways to reduce crime in our society, but they nevertheless have been, while in office, doing everything possible to cultivate and perpetuate crime in our cities, and even in our homes.

Anyone with half a brain, (and I am sure that these afore mentioned people have at least half a brain,) is cognizant of the fact, that when a government outlaws guns, only outlaws will have guns because criminals do not respect or obey gun laws or any other law for that matter. So if these people are not brain dead, at least not totally, then could they possibly have a reading problem? If in fact they can read statistics as well as the rest of us, then the only remaining logical conclusion one can come to, is that they have the worst criminally warped minds in history, and are purposely creating and perpetuating gun crime in our Cities and States, through there legislation of un-Constitutional gun laws. The question always begging to be asked in the cases is why? Why would one want to disarm the citizens of a Nation? Simple answer, tyranny; as long as a government has nothing to fear from its citizens, there is tyranny. This is why these Liberal extremist gun banning legislators pass laws restricting and eventually banning guns, the obvious agenda is to create a police State.

Every time our legislators, State, Federal or local, pass yet another gun restricting law, three things are accomplished, one is, that all of America looses a little more of its Constitutional rights, the second is that more criminals are enabled an encouraged to commit violent crimes, and the third, we get closer to a Police-State. More and more violent criminals can confidently wield guns in the commission of a crime without fear of getting shot because law-abiding citizens are restricted by law and therefore are not likely to possess a gun. Eventually only police and criminals will have guns; this is definitive of a police State. Moreover, this is diametrically opposed to the purpose of the Second Amendment (…”being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms”,…) a police State, is not a free State. The extreme liberal agenda is the surreptitious and incremental destruction of liberty by passing more and more laws restricting guns, first by banning certain guns and then ultimately the banning of all guns, all in the name of fighting crime, an obvious masquerade for governmental power and tyranny.

One must understand that these anti-gun laws are specifically directed toward law abiding citizens, and not criminals, because by their very nature, criminals do not obey laws. No amount of denying guns to the law abiding is going to improve crime, it will only enable it, and in most cases innocent citizens such as school children, will be totally vulnerable to gun crime. This is why as anti-gun laws increase, gun crime eventually increases at nearly the same rate.

Crime statistics prove that when fewer guns are in the hands of law abiding citizens, more guns are in the hands of criminals. Putting it another way the more anti-gun laws there are, the more gun crime there is. Moreover these Government legislators with at least half a brain, know this as well as you and me, and still they continue, with purpose to pass these crime perpetuating laws.

In case one is not convinced of these statistics one only needs to go to the FBI crime Stats, the latest available Stats are through 2004. A prime example of this is the crime rate in our Nations Capital where since laws passed 1977 the District of Columbia has had a virtual gun-ban. So, are their no guns in D.C.? Of course there are guns, they are just not in the possession of law abiding citizens, and as a result the violent gun crime rate is among the highest in the Nation, and in the world, per capita in any city including Baghdad. The law abiding citizens of the inner city of D.C., are virtual prisoners in their own homes, gun crime exceeding Baghdad where most are killed by other means such as explosives. In D.C. approximately 80 percent of all murders are committed with a gun, this, in a city where there are no legal guns? This typifies the statement that “more gun laws, more crime”, as well as, “if one outlaws guns only outlaws will have guns” or as John Lott a leading statistician puts it “more guns less crime”. John Lott wrote a book by the same name, where he proves his statement. Ironically the mayor of D.C., who in the past has embraced the gun ban; two years ago was robbed at gun point in his own home, and has since softened his stand for the gun-ban. It is amazing how sometimes personal experience can be the best teacher.

According to the 2004 FBI crime data, guns were used in 61.1 percent of homicides in New York City, 75.2 percent in Chicago, 77.5 percent in Baltimore, and a whopping 79.6 percent in Washington D.C., all in direct relationship to the amount and extent of anti-gun laws these States and Cities have. By contrast the entire State of Vermont has the lowest gun crime in the nation, maybe in the world (per capita) at only 9.1 percent. Moreover, Vermont has no State gun laws whatsoever; if under Federal law, one can legally own a gun, then one can carry a loaded gun anywhere in the State of Vermont without any kind of permit whatsoever, with the exception of a Federal building, because of course Federal laws must still be enforced.

Despite these high murder rates in these so-called gun-free zones, the overall crime rate in the U.S. has been going down at approximately the same rate that the right to Carry Concealed Weapon CCW in the U.S., has been on the increase in our Cities and States. 40 of the 50 States now have Shall Issue CCW permits. (Shall Issue, means the State shall issue a CCW permit on demand to anyone that is at least 18 years old and passes all the requirements) Again more statistical proof that the more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens, the more the crime rates decrease.

Anywhere in the world where the restrictions of gun ownership is at its lowest, the crime rate is at its lowest as well, and by contrast where gun restrictions are at there highest, not only gun crime but all violent crime and home burglaries are also among the highest. Several years ago now, all in the name of lowering the violent gun crime rate, a number of countries have all but completely banned some or all guns. Among these countries are Canada where since their extreme gun restrictions the crime rate has gone up 35 percent, Australia’s virtual gun ban has caused an increase of 68 percent, and with the gun ban in the U.K. where people are afraid to leave their homes, especially after dark, have experience and increase of 87 percent in gun related crimes. One has nearly a 70 percent chance of getting mugged and or robbed on the streets of London if walking alone after dark. Moreover if one were to protect themselves with a weapon of any kind such as a ball-bat or a knife, one could find themselves arrested for battery or worse, and their [would be attacker] set free to mug and rob again the following evening.

Is it any wonder that the crime goes up in these cases? No, especially when the insanity of these government criminal minds is allowed to prevail. What is typical is that the innocent are prosecuted in this upside down world, while the criminal perpetrators go free. A friend once said to me, yes but there is more to it than that. (My answer); While I am sure that is true, the fact still remains, that if criminals go free, and the innocent are prosecuted, and our governments legislate more and more anti-gun laws, crime goes up no matter how much more there is to it.

A classic well known case of this happened in the UK. The following is a true story that occurred just outside London, shortly after their gun ban went into effect...

Shot guns are still allowed out in the country side of England but if one should use a gun to defend oneself even in a rural area one would not only go to jail, but could, with the aid of the British Government, be sued by the perpetrator of the crime. Just such an incident happened to a Mr. Tony Martin, an English farmer, living out in the country just outside London, and during the third in a series of early AM break-in’s and burglaries, with again no response or help from the police, Mr. Martin pointed his shotgun down the stairway inside his house at two armed men; and with a gun pointed at him, he fired his shot gun killing the first man and wounding the second. Mr. Tony Martin was sentenced to 20 years in a British prison and was sued, with the financial aid of the British Government, by the family of the dead criminal as well as his wounded accomplice, and to add insult to the wrongful imprisonment of Mr. Martin, the wounded burglar went scott free.

THE BOTTOM LINE: While similar cases have happened in the U.S., so-far none have been so blatantly outrages as what has happened to Martin. However if the insanity of these unprincipled anti-American Government officials with the worst Criminal Minds in the history of this country, are allowed to continue on this incremental path of crime and destruction of our Constitution; what happened to Mr. Tony Martin, will become common place in America as well as an increase in unopposed government power, and tyranny.

Vote Freedom First
Remember, the purpose of the second Amendment is to protect the security of a Free State. Please write or call your Federal and State Representatives, and ask them why they insist on promoting crime and tyranny by legislating anti-Constitutional gun laws???
