You can reduce “gun violence” by disarming the people. The problem is that disarming good people leads to an increase in overall violence.

A man with his fists or a knife is more than a match for almost all women, particularly when he gets to choose the victim and the timing of the attack. A mob with tire irons and baseball bats is more than a match for one unarmed man, regardless of his physical fitness, particularly when the mob gets to choose the victim and the timing of the attack. In the interest of safety and freedom, we need to encourage more ownership of firearms and remove barriers to law-abiding citizens carrying those weapons.

As for “angry adults”, if the leftist thugs stopped trying to disarm free Americans, decent people would be a whole lot less angry.

Several years ago I visited my cousin in NY. My cousin's husband is a stereotypical brain dead Liberal. The conversation turned to guns, as I am an NRA instructor. My cousin's husband exploded.

"No one should be allowed to own a gun!" he roared. Why not, I asked. "Because if I had a gun there are several people I would murder!" he replied. And there you have it. No one should be allowed to have a gun because this guy is a murderous asshole.

The first gun violins I ever saw was on the old LAUGH IN TV show when comedian Dick Gregory came out with a violin case, opened it, pulled out a Thompson sub-machine gun, put the stock under his chin, pulled out the bow, and proceeded to play a violin solo on it.

Good thing it was on stage as if he had done it outside we would have had violins in the streets!

“”No one should be allowed to own a gun!” he roared. Why not, I asked. “Because if I had a gun there are several people I would murder!” he replied. And there you have it. No one should be allowed to have a gun because this guy is a murderous asshole.”

Exactly! I too was an instructor. And I too know a liberal activist who leans anti-gun, and would be fully anti-gun if he didn’t inherit a little snubby .38 from his father. This guy would ask me questions about what kind of rifle could he use to shoot his neighbor’s stereo out with when the music was too loud. Or he would talk about the need to shoot W. One day he confided in me that he was so mad at a dump truck that kicked up dust on a road they both traveled that he unloaded the .38 into the fuel tank of the truck! Needless to say, I didn’t give him any advice other than to seek help. I think he died a few years back, but he was the typical libtard, projecting his own thinking on to others.

The British hired the Hessians.
The Americans had the French backing us.

Yes, and that demographic is DEMOCRAT.

If we could prohibit democrats from gun possession, there would be almost no gun crimes.

Where’s the accountability??

I remember back in the ‘80’s when finances were tight and the Brits were discussing cutting the Gurkahs lose to save money. I favored picking them up. Should have done it while we could have gotten them for cheap!!!!

That pesky 2nd amendment prohibition on infringement is really getting the liberal knickers in a bunch. There's a little problem with "prior restraint" too. That silly notion of being innocent until proven guilty plays a part too. The control freaks hate being constrained by the law, yet they wish to inflict even more legal constraints. Ironic.

Remove one demographic from the stats and our homicide rates go down to Scandinavian levels.

Gosh. That demographic wouldn't be the Negro one, would it? Shocking!!

Love me some Claire Wolfe. Time to scoot over to Backwoods Home magazine and check in. Haven’t been there in a while.

There are still clinoon operatives/moles in place. Exposing all the appointees and the positions they are in would take years to resolve.

“angry adults” = “conservative” to this yahoo author and his ilk.

Actually, I’d like to see citizens required to own at least one firearm, preferably a rifle.

It would be constitutional under the “taxing authority” that got Social Security past the SC

Hmmm. Tie voting in with firearms possession. No gun, no vote.
