Liberal Statist Control Freaks: Begging not for the boot to be taken off their throats, but for a different boot to be placed on their throats, maybe one that has a tread pattern that isn’t quite as uncomfortable as the current one....at least only for them...

Tell the Lakotas at Wounded Knee about state protection.

Or the Branch Davidians at Waco.

Posted here on FR:
Police have no responsibility to protect individuals (reference)

It is well-settled fact of American law that the police have no legal duty to protect any individual citizen from crime, even if the citizen has received death threats and the police have negligently failed to provide protection.

This is an excellent time to remind everyone that Jim Robinson is not a “gnome.”

Her argument all suggests that simply having a firearm tempts you to commit murder.

"Should the government have the right to regulate access to something that makes it incredibly easy to turn a dispute into a death? Hell yes. This is common sense."

Of course the government already has this right and there are already many, many laws on the books regulating access to firearms. What the author really means is, "shouldn't the government have the right to ban private ownership of guns". She just doesn't have the guts to say it.

It is a primary function of the state to protect people. If the State fails, for any reason, in meeting that obligation then the people must intervene. To organize the necessary intervention Vigilance Committees are formed. Such committees are not nice, warm, fuzzy and cuddly but they can be effective. See San Francisco in the 1850’s.

Same old same old. Yawn.

The Brady crowd do love to keep on trying.

They should all move to Connecticut.

WHY DO THEY WANT OUR GUNS?

"Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn't allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians." -Alexander Hope, from the novel 'Hope' by L. Neil Smith and Aaron Zelman

Roger that. You need a proximity indicator that measures the increase in your desire to act out when near a firearm.

LOL! Yeah, did you check her bio and creds? Typical nut case. She should be prohibited from ever even writing about guns.

Thanks for that reference ping.

A few weeks back I actually had someone from the Commie left dispute that and it much easier to obliterate their silly talking point when you have the information at your fingertips.
