There is only one reality. Criminals (including people like Holmes and Lanza) do not obey laws.
In maryland they posted signs saying they doubled the fines for speeding in posted areas *near* schools.
But these speed free zones obviously didnt work so they posted signs that say ‘photo enforced’ and they post white speed camera (laser) vans on the main roads that go through the ‘no speed’ school areas to send fines to those speeding (I report them on my waze app.)
Clearly the signs alone didnt work.
What John Hawkins, author of “The Five Things” article, doesn’t understand is that liberals do indeed understand all these things quite well. What Conservatives don’t understand is that liberals do understand. Liberals are not stupid or misguided as so many conservatives want to believe. Liberals just have a different set of beliefs which one is a huge distrust of the Great Unwashed or sometimes referred to as Joe and Jane Sixpack. Actually, they’re scared of us, thus their desire to disarm us. Pretty simple actually.
Ah, the People’s Republic of Maryland, where the new face of fascism has emerged.
LOL, now Rosa demands that we pay her bus fare and is on TV whining that the sequester might make her pay a few cents of her own money for the ride.
You are correct that liberals are not misguided, but they are definitely stupid
Just use the Left’s logic, tell them it’s just like abortion....Law of the Land!
Get over it!
The gun grabbers are using misdirection to accomplish their goals. Their claimed goals are crime reduction, but the actual goal is civilian disarmament.
There are two types of anti-gunners: one is the example of the bedwetter who is afraid of the scary guns because he or she has been propagandized against guns their whole life. Another term for people like this is "useful idiot." The second type (usually an office holder or journalist) is the one who knows full well what they are doing and why, and uses lies and obfuscation to accomplish their agenda.
“You are correct that liberals are not misguided, but they are definitely stupid”
Some are stupid no doubt. But, to use a word coined by GW, never “misunderestimate” your adversary.
Now there's a tagline for ya.
One more thing they don’t know.......gun grabbers do not plan on disarming themselves.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence and stupidity...
BUT DON’T RULE OUT MALICE.
As an aside, has anyone ever tried this?
“That’s why gun sales have blown up like a can of shaving cream in a microwave.”
100% in agreement with you here. Listen up all you business owners, school administrators, Church officers, etc. out there with "gun free zone" signs or something similar. Putting up a sign and hoping for the best is not a valid defensive strategy. If I am forced to use your establishment know that I am probably going to come in armed anyway if I believe I can do so without causing a disturbance. You'll never know. If you do know, it'll be because I stopped something bad from happening. If I have to come into your establishment unarmed, and something bad happens. I am going to hold you professionally and personally responsible (liable) for failure to enforce your zone and my safety. I (or my heirs) will sue you for every nickel you have. I will own and shut down your business. I will own every dime you have ever made and every dime you ever will make personally. You will end up living in a trailer by the interstate. Does that sound like something you want to risk?
2) Criminals and lunatics don't obey gun laws: The belief that someone who's planning to go on a killing spree is going to turn in a gun because it's made illegal is almost as nuts as going on the killing spree. Yet, the gun grabbers in the Democrat Party operate on the assumption that nut jobs like Adam Lanza or a gangbanger who sells crack for a living is going to get rid of a high-capacity magazine if Congress says he can't have it.
I agree with you on this, but I think you're missing the point. You're taking them ('rats) statements at face value. The "gun control debate" is not and never has been about public safety. Anyone can look up the statistics and realize that firearms bans increase violent crime. Anyone with a greater than room temperature IQ knows that in a confrontation with a criminal it is better to be armed with your fate in your hands than to not be armed and rely on the good intentions of said criminal not to hurt you or your loved ones.
What the so-called liberals (aka socialists and fascists) are really after is simply the control part of gun control. They can't get to where they want to go while we still have the means of successfully resisting them. So enacting so-called "gun control" is really just the first of many steps towards people control. They'll push as hard as they can, take whatever incremental gains they can get. We should not give them an inch. This isn't about saving a few lives, this is about saving America, freedom, and liberty. Many, many lives have been lost - willingly risked and sacrificed - to ensure our continued freedom. We cannot stand by and surrender those freedoms and dishonor their memory.
How about, “I only obey ONE gun law, the second amendment. period.”
Let the feds figure out what the rest of that means. You F’ing jerks, come and get them.
