Here we go again.
It's Groundhog Day for gun control which we see after every tragedy. The ghouls of the gun grabber lobby have come out of the woodwork.
Their repetitive calls for even more restrictions on our common-sense human right to own weapons are illegitimate and unconstitutional.
It's the same playbook passed down from the brown Bolsheviks of the Third Reich that is being used by violent leftists today.
As we said in the headline, the brutal truth about gun control is that it's never meant to work, and that there are several secondary issues that descend from this, starting with the fact that it's only to constrict freedom.
The stark reality is that if they could, the ghouls would have already grabbed our guns.
Or forced us to turn them in, with the additional Orwellian twist in calling it a 'buyback' program, given that they would just be paying us with our own tax dollars, and they never owned our guns anyway.
If they were at all honest, the ghouls of the gun-grabber lobby would openly tell you that none of the old measures were going to work, and they would tell you that none of the new measures – whatever they happen to be – are going to work, either. Feelings and failure drive the system to get to its ultimate goal – gun confiscation eventually.
The ugly truth comes from comparing how gun control is advertised and how it actually works.
Start with so-called "assault weapon" bans.

You’re right. Just look what Tampon Tim just did in Minnesota.
there is no support in human rights jurisprudence – nor in State practice, according to the survey responses – for personal self-defence as an independent right that States are obliged to uphold. Further:
‘Even if there were a “human right to self-defence”, it would not negate the State’s due diligence responsibility to maximize protection of the right to life for the society through reasonable regulations on civilian possession of weapons… The State must consider the community as a whole, and not just the single individual, in carrying out its obligation to minimize physical violence.’11
Thus, the legally enforceable right to guns for self-defence puts the USA at odds with other countries – and with international law.12
The gun control masses deign to lecture America that we are Neanderthals because we are lax about guns in the face of murder and mayhem.
Quite the contrary….it is NOT a sign of Americans’ mental deficiencies, that America still has a relatively free right to keep and bear arms in the face of many “mass murders” and shootings etc.
Rather, it is a bold sign, that rights are given by God, and not up to a vote, in this Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.
In the movie “Demolition Man” comedian Denis Leary’s character goes on a rant, that’s relevant here - especially the part line:
I'm the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've seen the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Mayer Wiener." You live up top, you live Cocteau's way: what he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here... and maybe starve to death.
I’ll take America, warts and all, over Australia et al any day of the week.
“brown Bolsheviks of the Third Reich”
Yeah, my eyes tripped and fell over that. I suppose he didn’t want to use something as trite as “Nazis” so tagging them Bolsheviks, brown rather than red ones, as if they were any sort of Bolsheviks...as if anyone remembers anyway.
But we do. :)
Speaking of history, the Turks took the guns from the Armenians, for starters. Then they took the able men. Then the less able men. Then the women, children, elderly. A planned extermination.
Gun grabbing makes criminals safer, especially those in power.
Democrats: "See? A government program that actually works!"
and in an absolutely remarkable coincidence, the same countries that grabbed the guns....Britain, Canada, Australia, Germany, etc then moved on to censoring free speech, censoring the press, claiming all their political opponents were criminals and dispensing with jury trials after they grabbed the guns.
ALWAYS in that order.
Yes, it truly is amazing but all just a coincidence I’m sure. Those events couldn’t possibly be related. Perish the thought.
Having police is racist. Having a border you control is racist. Throwing criminals in prison is racist. And you're just crazy if you respond to all of this by getting a gun.
It is worse than that.
Well, they have finally thrown off the sheets and are now going after their real target of the 1960s, HANDGUNS. Here are the democrat promises beginning in 1962...
Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
In 1976, the founder of handgun Control Inc told in a New Yorker interview his goal was to make ownership of all handguns “TOTALLY ILLEGAL”.
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, They came for the rifles.
1994, they got an 10 year “A-s-s-ault Rifle” ban hoping it would be forever. Instead of turning off the lights and going home they immediately found another target to attack, 50 Cal Rifles “That can bring down an AIRCRAFT!”
Gun owners know they are always up against a stacked deck.
Next phase like this...
From 1976.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.(now rifles)
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
Yep. If they can’t blame guns then they would have to focus on who the perps are. And they really don’t want to do that.
The National SOCIALISTS were......wait for it......socialists. Fascism is a branch of socialism. Mussolini was always a man of the Left. Hitler even openly said that Commies make the best Nazis. They're not far apart at all. Their opposite are what the Nazis called "Reaktion". ie Western Democracy. We who believe in "liberal democracy" with guaranteed individual liberty and express limits on the power of government are the Right Wingers. As in the lyrics of the Horst Wessel Lied
"Kamaraden die RotFront und Reaktion erschossen"
Comrades whom the red front and "reaction" have shot (and killed).....
How Josh Sugarman proposed to get rid of semi-auto rifles..
HCI, around 1984, made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed. Then Josh Sugarmann tuned in. This has been the mantra ever since.
“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
The only way they get mine is bullets first.
They want you to feel guilty about resisting their nastiness, just a general form of the derangement syndrome that they are engaging. Sort of like burning opponents at the stake for refusing their concept of religious advancement of their beliefs. They become the victims and you worthy of severe rejection.
“The proud red state of Tennessee is in the process of adding extra regulations on guns. For some reason firearms instructors will soon have to have an Enhanced Carry Permit but that’s not the only new reg they are trying to pass. The state may be red but the cities are very blue.”
Tennessee has been overrun by the people who used to make fun of us as ignorant rednecks. The gun control measures are coming out of Mike Bloomberg’s organization in New York. I live in Colorado now and we’re all going to have to take new training to renew.
If the far left piggies feeding at the U.S. government teat don’t like guns, they need to move to Australia. They’ll be really safe when only the Marxist government has guns.
Here is a brutal truth: You volunteer for slavery when you let gov’mt take away your guns — you give away your human right to self defense. You declare that you are less than human.
The NSW coppers arranged Bondi.
Don’t think that could happen? Remember the “serpico” scene where he is pinned in the doorway and his copper buddies just walk away?
That really happened. NYC coppers LET one of their own get shot in the face.
So, how come you think it is not possible for some Aussie coppers to let some Jews get slaughtered (and other Aussies who tried to help while DEI coppers hid) to enable the central gov’mt to take another step towards a CCP-style gov’mt. ?
Australia has had draconian gun control for decades. No one can own an “assault”: weapon, legal shotguns and sporting guns must be disassembled and under secure lockdown and most Aussies aren’t willing to go through the government hassle of owning a firearm. Despite this two terrorists had no problem obtaining guns to kill 15 people on famous Bondi Beach. Even the police by US standards are not well armed nor particularly well trained as evidenced from the tepid police response to the shootings. Despite this glaring failure of strict gun control to prevent a mass shooting, the likes of Governor “Tampon Tim” Walz are calling for more gun control as are local jurisdictions in Minnesota trying to enact ridiculous gun control ordinances.
Our Founders added the Second Amendment Amendment to prevent the takeover of tyrannical governments. They knew an unarmed populace would be powerless to resist tyranny.
