Jorge Ramos Pens Another Anti-Gun Screed
newbusters.org ^ | 5/26/2019 | Jorge Bonilla

Posted on 05/28/2019 9:57:37 AM PDT by rktman

As sure as the Sun rises in the East, Univision senior anchor Jorge Ramos will find a way to renew his all-too-frequent calls for anti-gun legislation. A recent opinion column mashes violence in Mexico with incidents in the United States in order to make the same old points.

The column, titled “Run, Hide, or Fight”, rehashes some of the same old tropes that Ramos has been peddling for years. This brief sampling below pretty much sums up the entirety of the column:

*In the United States there are said to be more guns than there are people. In some areas of the country, buying a gun is easier than getting a prescription filled, and officials lack the political will to stand up to the National Rifle Association or other groups to restrict their distribution or use.

Mexico faces a different problem. Drug traffickers and other criminals have a vast supply of weapons — most of them smuggled into the country from the United States — and ordinary citizens don’t generally put their trust in the police or the federal government to protect them. If someone is robbed, or even kidnapped or killed, they know the crime will almost certainly go unpunished.

I live in Florida, a state where politicians think the best way to fight gun violence in schools is by giving teachers their own pistols. The ludicrous argument goes something like this: We must fight fire with fire, and weapons with other weapons, even in the classroom. Elected officials don’t dare take the more logical and reasonable step: banning the use of rifles, pistols and other weapons of war. Who came up with the brilliant idea that more weapons somehow equals less violence.

Gee, Jorge, did you ever stop to think that those probems in Mexico are partially as a result of the average Mexican citizen being denied their own right to self-defense?

How many articles did he write about Obama and Holder forcing thousands of gun sales to narcoterrorists in Mexico?

Aother though, Jorge. Maybe this 'fact' should cause you to support the construction of a wall. Walls work both way, you know, Jorge.

Normal people would learn after getting arrested and then deported by Nicolás Maduro’s dictatorship back in February. Not Ramos; he’s a good useful idiot.

A new law needs to be passed banning Dual citizens from voting in any elections.

[[I live in Florida, a state where politicians think the best way to fight gun violence in schools is by giving teachers their own pistols.]]

Awesome! Because hiding under desks, and throwing school rulers and chalk at criminals just aint cutting it jorge- You claim to care about the kids- but your idiotic liberal arguments prove you don’t- At least Florida wants to do something rational to protect the kids- your moronic ‘duck and hide’ agenda is despicable! So please=- don’t lecture us about how to protect the kids- there has to my knowledge never been a teacher that has goen on a shootign spree- even in schools where teachers are allowed to be armed- infact jorge- teachers have gone out to their cars during shootings, retrieved their own guns, and stopped the carnage- saving countless lives- https://www.weaselzippers.us/132783-teacher-with-gun-stop-crazed-gunman-from-shooting-up-school/

An Armed Principal Detained a Campus Gunman. But He’s Against Arming School Staff.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/us/school-shootings-teachers.html

so take your stupid duck and hide agenda and go sit in the corner- here’s a hat for ya to wear! Our kid’s lives are too precious to allow folks like you to determine how they are to be protected! Armed teachers save lives- period!

Another Anti-American wants Americans disarmed so that the Tyrants can maintain control.

Laws are meaningless now. We have coup conspirators walking around freely. We have 100,000 illegals a month pouring over the border. Why are we even pretending? Let them make whatever laws they want. Why should we obey their laws any more than they do?

We just moved to MS (from CA) where Constitutional Carry is the Law of the Land.

Let me just say this, an armed society is a polite society isn’t just a bumper sticker slogan.

Anyone who refuses to acknowledge the difference between aggressive and defensive gun use will get everything else wrong.

I guess Ramos needs to be told that it would take American and Canadian criminals (along with the token few Gamil Gharbis, Dylan Klebolds, and Adam Lanzas) hundreds of centuries to equal the number murdered by just only four governments in just the last century who had disarmed citizenries (Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Communist China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia).

He wants the US to become Mexico: lots of Latinos, English not required, don’t need to obey laws, and no legal guns!

He can advocate and lie about it all he wants; this being America.
