Be prepared for the antis.
Take your guns and keep them under cover.
If you have any guns off the record guard them.
Of what “gun industry” company is he a former executive?
There is no middle ground, you are either for gun control or “shall not be infringed”.
The phrase “gun culture” is a talking point so a liberal can write a piece of nonsense.
The phrase ‘gun culture’ means nothing to me.
“...people are being killed in staggering numbers.”
With a properly placed shot, they don’t stagger at all, just drop on the spot.
Anything from the spaghetti-arm weenies at NPR is garbage. The NPR weenies are still upset that their BLM commie heroes were turned away by armed patriots at hundreds of communities across the US.
This is assumed and not even mentioned as part of the study. Total bogosity.
Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America.
A new version of Carl Bakal’s spew THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS! from over fifty years ago? That is the hardback title. Paperback book replaced the word “THE” with “NO” (No Right to keep and bear arms.)
Coincidence that this comes out while self defense is at issue in Kyle’s trial? I think not.
I stopped reading at “NPR”.
“Guns are used for recreation— hunting, target practice, and competitions— and self-defense in the United States. Recent studies show that the sub-culture of recreational use is falling, while that of self-defense is on the rise.”
So what.
“Amid those trends, people are being killed in staggering numbers.”
So .. what? In practical terms, their solutions are always to disarm peaceable, decent people and make it easier for criminals to prey upon their victims.
To a leftist, they tend to automatically and reflexively side with criminals, nobody knows why, and at the same time hold that there is really no legitimate use of a firearm by an individual for self-defense. There are no “good guys” and “bad guys” at best in their world view. Or something like that. I try not to delve too much on their convoluted nonsense. Because that’s what it is - their policies only serve to create more crime, and yet they claim to lament all these people being killed?
What did you think was going to happen?
When your worldview is that schizophrenic, post-modern word salad relativistic pseudo-intellectual twaddle that passes for erudite discourse these days, I would suppose sorting through these issues would be a real problem. “Unencumbered by the thought process” as it were. Oh well.
“..one that makes us world leaders in gun ownership and violence”.
This is a complete misrepresentation. Once you get into places like Montana or the Dakotas or Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire and other areas with high legal gun ownership, there is little or no violence. It is when one goes to places like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and elsewhere where guns are banned along with other restrictive laws, this is where the violence is at appallingly high rates.
:"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
I don’t what they think about guns…they can cry about them all they want. We will not comply to your illegal laws. We have guns because of tyrants like you.
In a Communist system actual criminals, the ones we call criminals in a rational Republican democracy, are Social Allies because they help keep the middle class in line.
People like that are known as Fudds.
