Why is it that for attacks on our 2A, “If it saves just ONE LIFE” is sufficient to commit sedition against our BOR.
But when Tens of Thousands die of poison smuggled in by illegal aliens acting as mules for the cartels the border remains wide open?
It is past time for such rancid, immoral, “situational ethics” liberal hypocrisy to be ended!
Dug deeper.
Accurate up to date statistics are hard to pin down due to data collection and reporting lag.
So we have to go back a year or so, and look at averages.
To put the “Assault Weapon” deaths vs Fentanyl into perspective.
ALL deaths from long guns, not just AR-15’s (Or other “AW”’s) are less than five hundred per year. Most of those are suicide, and firearms are certainly not the only way to do that.
AR-15’s are not counted separately but appear to only be about 5% of the long gun total from what I could find, so less than thirty per year!
“Blunt objects” are used more often than all long guns combined, and swimming pools kill over 3,000 people per year.
But Fentanyl?
Here is an excerpt from Fox news:
Fentanyl overdoses have surged to the leading cause of death for adults between the ages of 18 and 45, according to an analysis of U.S. government data.
Between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people between 18 and 45 years old — 37,208 in 2020 and 41,587 in 2021 — died of fentanyl overdoses, the data analysis from opioid awareness organization Families Against Fentanyl shows.
Mexico and China are the primary sources for the flow of fentanyl into the United States, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
AND THE BORDER REMAINS WIDE OPEN!
Dem priorities are insane, I have to ask yet again.
WHAT do the Dems have in store for us that they are so desperate to render us defenseless ASAP?
It wasn’t the gun that caused the deaths, it was the much heralded news that the guy who murdered 17 people in Florida did not get the death penalty.
Pot. SSRIs. Fatherlessness maybe? Being told by public schools he is the most evil creature ever spawned because he is a white male. Government is brainwashing an entire generation of angry violent boys and mommas are all too happy to allow it.
I am a reformed follower of Joe Biden. The first couple years I followed his advice I shot two Jehovah Witnesses, four UPS drivers, a girl scout selling cookies, and my neighbor Ted.
I nearly went deaf from blasting my shotgun in the house, and I bought 8 doors at better than $750 each. I only reconsidered when shotgun shells disappeared during Covid.
Sometimes I think Joe Biden gives bad advice.
I remember when a city had six murders in a weekend. The police Chief immediately called for more gun control even though none of the murders were committed with firearms.
I remember Bill Clinton making the same demand for bullet proof vests when a policeman was killed, in a car wreck. No guns involved.
