There was a movie once about a society where on the police and the military had weapons.
I’ts called “Shindlers List”.
It is not but the left has never let a lie get in the way of the message.
That got me too. So what would have washington do without guns? Use peace signs? The stupidity of libtards knows no depths.
(1) “The NRA spends billions buying votes (as is the American way) to ensure that anti-gun legislation is blocked.”
Actually, the NRA spends an average of $25 million each year on lobbying and election contributions.
They spend around $75 million a year keeping their membership informed on pending legislation and on media bias. Members pay annual dues for that information, so I'm not sure why that would be “vote buying.”
(2) American “gun death statistics are the highest in the world per capita...”
Completely false. Even when you include USA gun suicides, many Latin American countries and South Africa rank higher than America.
Even though America has the highest gun ownership in the world, we rank 110th out of 210 countries in gun homicides, which include murder, self defense, and accidental shootings.
The USA gun murder rate is also misleading. When Black and Hispanic murderers are excluded, the USA white gun murder rate is only slightly higher than the European rate, on average, about 1.0 to 1.5 per 100,000 higher.
Few Americans realize that private gun ownership and the right-to-carry in Israel is severely restricted.
Gun ownership in America is about 10 to 1 higher than Israel.
Two recent events in Israel show the consequence.
Eight Israelis were stabbed on a bus, but only one fought back, the bus driver, who only had a can of Mace.
Four Israelis were shot and killed in a Synagogue. Not one person in the Synagogue had a firearm.
When seconds count, the Police are only minutes away.
I hope Jeremy Rosen gets stabbed.
Idiot is a bleeding heart antihunter.
hunters are the number one line of defense against poachers and animal eradication. They pay for guarding the wielderness they share with the animals. The whale hunt moratorium almost destroyed the whale population because the poaching Soviets were not controled and without ordered competition from commercial licensed whalers.
The same is true for the 2nd amendment. Without guns to protect life and property, criminals have no competition whatsoever, and the underfunded police is a joke. Criminals can roam and poach in neighborhoods and grab business with the mafias without problems.
It is a sociological phenomenum, but liberals supposedly into sociological manipulaton do not understand it as political aprentice sorcerers.
Indeed, he will then feel the Stalinist political correctness misery: a gun death by a toddler is a tragedy, but millions in systematic genocide at a slaughterhouse called gun free zone is a statistic.
The political class wins only if he or she is elected politician, but not the citizen.
They have revised their policies since then, allowing people to get their license a bit more easily in Israel now as a result of these attacks. But for a Brit, Israel is a well armed society.
The thing is, if the criminals have no opposition, then only the police becomes their competitors, and that right there is hell on Earth.
Hunting cruel? It is not genocide, for goodness sakes’. Linerals choose painless genocide over a little bit of pain with freedom.
Language has consequences.
Who is the “gun culture”? Is it the people running around killing people, or is it NRA members?
NRA members of course, don’t confuse them with misunderstood yoots unable to find employment.
Minutes are a long time. I believe the elapsed time between Officer Wilson's call for backup in Ferguson and it's arrival was about 90 seconds, though some sources think shorter. In any case, everything was over by then. A lot happens in a minute.
Kind of gets it, but still burdened by those misconceptions. But the conclusion valid, though it will never happen in Europe.
There have been a few threads on than doomed request.
Kind of. Left out of the movie, likely due to the producers political positions, was the fact that Schindler amassed arms for his works, and in at least one instance is said to have sent out a group to kill a difficult SS officer. Obviously the workers at his factory couldn't have prevailed, but they could have defended themselves, possibly allowing some to survive.
And there are tens or hundreds of people who have been mislead as much.
The problem is mind boggling.
