The Federal Gov. Wants More Mass
Murders

Why would I say the government wants more mass murders like
Sandy hook, Chattanooga, Aurora, Columbine, etcetera? Because it’s true. The
more mass murders the more support for gun bans and so-called GUN FREE ZONES. The more GUN FREE ZONES the more mass murders, and again, the more support for gun
bans and so on! But the question is,
what would be the motive for the government to encourage mass murders , or to ban guns?
If you think this is just another pro-gun pitch, you would be
right. But I believe the Second
Amendment is the most important Constitutional law in America. Everything that
America stands for, hangs on this one law. Without it, there is no America! So one cannot say too much about this
important Issue.
Recently I had the opportunity to speak with a small group of
people, a good cross section of America as it turned out. Some were pro-gun, some were anti-gun,
neither really knew why. I asked the
question: What would America look like if all guns were banned? Some said the
crime rate would go down, until I asked why the per capita violent crime rate
in the U.K., where there has been a near total gun ban for nearly 30 years, is four
times higher than that of the U.S.? You
see, it is the criminals that do not obey gun laws, bans, or GUN FREE ZONES! I went on to say: No guns - no
freedom…at all! Which created an
understandable amount of discussion pro and con. How do I know that all
freedom will be lost? History my friend.
Every time in history where a government confiscated arms from the citizenry,
it opened the doors to despotic tyranny. More importantly, the promise of total
power and control, is what ultimately drives the banning and confiscation of arms.
With the Communist media’s contemptuous attack on gun rights which
uses mass murder attacks as their “ammunition,”
some kind of response is necessary to combat this
misinformation. We are a nation of over three
hundred million people, and an estimated
270 million to more than a half billion
guns are spread out among approximately a 190 million legal gun owners. We are
the freest nation in the world because we are the most well-armed nation in the
world. It is a heritage passed down to
us from the framers through the 2ndAmendment to the Constitution,
which guarantees the right of every law-abiding American to own and carry a
firearm.
Even with these garish numbers of guns and gun owners, gun
violence in America among legal gun owners is statistically insignificant. In fact, the vast majority of
gun crime is committed by criminals who carry their weapons illegally which
would continue even if there was a total gun ban. Meanwhile, in America, a
gun in the hand of a law abiding citizen is 7 times more likely to stop a crime than to
commit one.
So why ‘is there’ a constitutional law that guarantees Americans
the right to keep, as well as to bear arms? Why indeed! Let’s look at the law: “A well regulated militia, [originally included the words “comprised of the people” later removed
because it was agreed that it went without saying] being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of
the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. So what is the answer to why ‘is there’ a constitutional law that
guarantees Americans the right to keep, as well as to bear arms? The law itself
says ‘why my friend, it is “necessary to
the security of a free State.” Without
guns in the hands of citizens the security of freedom is gone, gone, gone.
Furthermore, consider the recent and
most famous instances of mass shootings in the news. All of these rampages took
place in areas described as “GUN FREE ZONES”. The
movie theater in Aurora, CO, the school in Newtown, CT, the military base in
Fort Hood, TX, and the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. All of these places were
gun free zones where the shooters took advantage of the guaranteed indefensible
state of their victims. In fact, if you try to remember back to other infamous
mass shootings from Paducah, KY to Columbine, CO the gun free zone is a common thread. However, the media
has placed the idea of blaming gun-free zones out of
bounds in the political discourse – anyone who considers eliminating
these so-called “safe” zones (or un-safe zones depending on your reality) is
immediately labeled an extremist. In fact, a simple Google search of gun
free zones returns stories of mass killing and
liberal attempts to deflect blame from gun free zones. The gun free zone is one
of the useful idiots of the Communists’ “hills to die on”, even though it’s many
times their own children who are facing death. All of the perpetrators choose these
unprotected areas because they offer the path of least resistance for the
killer. Consider that in the killing at the Aurora, CO movie theater the
shooter had his choice of seven theaters within 20 minutes of his home… yet he
chose the only theater that did not allow patrons to carry weapons even thought
it was the farthest away. It was a gun-free zone. Even more telling is the
shooting that took place in Oregon just days before the attack at Newtown. In
the Oregon shooting, a killer marched through a mall, shooting at helpless
victims -- that is until he
encountered armed resistance. Immediately after seeing that one of
his intended victims had a weapon, the Oregon shooter retreated and fired one
last shot… the bullet that ended his own life.
Just imagine how Sandy Hook would have turned out if the teaching and
office staff would have been armed.
Likely the only one that would have died that horrible day would have
been the would-be killer.
In fact, situations like this are more common than you realize,
perhaps, as the Oregon story illustrates, because the media doesn’t seem to
cover the cases that end well because of an armed citizen. BuzzFeed
has a neat collection of mass shootings that were
stopped by armed citizens, who were in the right place at the right time. Had
you heard of any of these instances? Are they commonly brought up in the media?
The honest truth is this. When you couple the fact that so few of
our gun crimes are committed by legal gun owners, with the fact that most of
these mass shootings happen in gun free zones by mentally imbalanced people… we get a completely different
picture than the portrait painted by the alphabet soup media and the Democrat
Communist Party.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Murder is always evil. It is always a violent and destructive act
that attacks the very fabric of our communities. We must respond, and we must
try our best to ensure these things happen less and less in the future.
However, we cannot allow the emotion of the moment to overcome our abilities to
think independently, reason and consider logic as well as statistical truth.
The gun control ideas of the left wing Communists are a red herring. They
create more problems then they solve. The best answers to violence and public
safety come from pro-Americans who love liberty and value independence.
Don’t let the hate America media mislead you – we are safer with a
gun in our hands than with our empty hands in the air begging for mercy. Without arms you will not only lose your
freedom, you could lose your life…
