It would be awful if the Democrats decide that the latest massacre by a non-Tea Partier means its time for yet another high-profile Congressional push for gun control. Awful awesome.
You should never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake, so those of us who dont think the Bill of Rights is optional need to keep this on the down low. Gun control destroys Democrat politicians. While Im against gun control ever being enacted, Im always delighted to see the Democrats push it. Though they probably wont get the red statey analogy, go ahead and throw us in the briar patch, you liberal fascist clowns.
Now, if Democrats were rational beings who operated by assessing stuff like facts and evidence before deciding on a policy prescription, they wouldnt be Democrats. The Party of Fail is notorious for enacting programs that make problems worse and then concluding the way to remedy their defects is to double down. Hey, I know how we can win the War on Poverty lets pass more laws that encourage people to stay poor!
Still, its hard to understand a decision-making process that concludes the slaughter of a dozen helpless occupants of a gun free zone in the middle of a gun free city indicates an urgent need to ensure that all American citizens be rendered helpless occupants of a gun free country. This is the same kind of pro-science, rational analysis that concludes every kind of weather proves the existence of global warming.
Oops, I mean climate change. Oh, and I meant gun safety. When youre liberal, its important to use language that obscures your intent.
And their intent is a complete elimination of private weapons ownership, hence the latest talking liberal point about reasonable gun regulations. Whos against reasonability? I love the term reasonable gun regulations, but then Im a lawyer and I have a professional appreciation for people who dissemble effectively.
Of course, arent the places with the least reasonable gun regulations often the most violent, most Hobbesian killing fields? For instance, theres a state where you dont have to even have a permit to carry a concealed weapon! No wonder that every weekend, you open up your paper and read about the slaughter on the mean streets of Vermont.
Oh, wait, Im sorry. The slaughter is on the mean streets of gun-free Chicago. My bad Im using facts to make my point. As any liberal pundit can tell you, I should be exploiting the emotional impact of a terrible crime to ensure that you ignore the facts.
Those of us who support freedom and an armed populace is the ultimate guarantor of the freedoms God endowed us with and which the Constitution merely acknowledges should keep talking about the facts, and some of the most important facts are expressed with numbers. Lets start with the homicide numbers, in freefall over the same two decades as states began to conform their gun laws to the requirements of the Constitution. And how about 500,000 to 3 million the estimated number of times per year citizens defend themselves with guns?
Lets look at another number 329,999,999. That the approximate number of Americans who did not go on a killing spree at the Navy Yard and the number of American citizens whose fundamental rights Democrats would strip away in a heartbeat if they could.
Then theres the number 2 thats the number of Colorado Democrats booted out of office for their anti-gun freedom stance a couple weeks ago. Heres hoping that the Democrats find the courage to ignore the Colorado recall numbers and bravely pursue their fanatical assault on our basic freedoms.
And it is fanatical weve seen not only how it defies basic reason but also how it puts their political careers at risk. Liberals know that we conservative Americans are the last people who will ever use our guns to commit crime that dirtbag ex-cop in Los Angeles wrote a mash note to the Lightbringer and the Navy Yard loser was a fan too. Gun control is not really about controlling guns but about controlling us, real Americans who infuriate the liberal elite by stubbornly refusing to conform our behavior to the dictates of our urban betters.
And if we submit to the whining of the metrosexual liberal mob and give up our guns liberals love the guns they control it wont end there. They have plenty of other ideas for improving us on their To Do list. Our religion, our big cars and trucks, our red meat, our Fox News viewing they will address all of these deficiencies and more in their eternal quest to perfect us. And by perfect us I mean turn us into subservient robots eager to heed their commands.
But Americans dont appreciate a bunch of coastal city liberal fascists with delusions of moral superiority telling us what to do. The Democrats from red America running in 2014 get it endangered Senators Begich (D-AK), Pryor (D-AR), Hagan (D-NC), and Landrieu (D-LA) have got to be sweating it out as safe Senator Feinstein (D-Leftopia) starts with the gun control nonsense again.
Rock on, DiFi. Remember, you have a moral obligation to push those reasonable gun regulations right up to a public vote! Dont let Harry Reid weasel out of it you get those senators on record! We conservatives are totally with you.
Note to self - do not EVER get the author of this angry at you. D__n. Well said and may it be so.
*And by perfect us I mean turn us into subservient robots eager to heed their commands.*
This is at the core of everything the Left tries to do.
Very well written article!
All these sensationalized shootings much more than the norm during past presudencies when there was no push for disarmament. Now hat they’re really pushing hard on it, there’s lots of horrific shootings; the latest one by an ex-Navy reservist who happened to get a security clearance and job in DC with access to a Navy shipyard just one month before it occurred who claimed someone was following him and that someone was shooting microwave beams into his head....It really makes one wonder doesn’t it?
Now, if Democrats were rational beings who operated by assessing stuff like facts and evidence before deciding on a policy prescription, they wouldnt be Democrats. The Party of Fail is notorious for enacting programs that make problems worse and then concluding the way to remedy their defects is to double down.
Other than going to the moon and back, can you name a single feral government program that has succeeded in the past 50 years? How's that War on Terrorism coming along? How about the War on Drugs? How about Whip Inflation Now? Maybe the War on Poverty?
Go ahead. Name a Democratic [sic] party success story. I dare you.
Nice job, Kurt. I love it. It matches my tagline. :-)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Treatments and drugs
Obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment can be difficult, and treatment may not result in a cure. (Democrats) may need treatment for the rest of (their lives). However, OCD treatment can help (Democrats) bring symptoms under control so that they don’t rule (their) daily (lives).
A type of therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be effective. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves retraining (Democrats) thought patterns and routines so that compulsive behaviors are no longer necessary.
One CBT approach in particular is called exposure and response prevention. This therapy involves gradually exposing (Democrats) to a feared object or obsession, such as (gun control), (tax cuts), and (balanced budgets), and teaching (them) healthy ways to cope with (their severe, gut churning) anxiety(,bigotry, hatred, and greed).
Therapy may take place in individual, (caucus) or (party) sessions. But antidepressants and other, off-label drugs may also prove successful.
In rare cases, other treatment options may include:
Psychiatric hospitalization
Residential treatment
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation
Deep brain stimulation
Trepanation
Being voted out of office or otherwise dismissed from government service
I would encourage everyone to give the author and Townhall a ‘hit’ by clicking on the link.
And that after they've slaughtered 90% of the population, as some of them surely intend to do once they get the chance.
The discussion has already begun in the Socialist state of Maryland with the Rats wanting to BAN all semi-automatic guns.
Put a gun free zone in all their yards!
Amen! Wish I could articulate my pissed-offedness half as well.
“No, do push back, because if you don’t they may enact new laws when no one is watching.
Always remind people that good people with guns are not the ones causing the problems.”
Agreed! Yeah we may have booted oyt two Democrats from the legislature in Colorado but guess what... The laws they passed are STILL in place! Kind of like shutting the barn door after the horse is out in my opinion. Just because we extracted retribution on two Democrats fixes exactly nothing!
Kurt has it. It’s not about controlling guns. It is about controlling the people and unarmed people are much easier to control.
Don't you believe it!
The "deterrent" effect of actually REMOVING "any" politician from office by recall election will be huge. Such an action is almost totally unheard of in American politics. Removal by impeachment has happened more often, and that not very frequently at all.
You can bet that every "anti-gun" politician other than the most rabid or those in absolutely safe districts are re-examining their public stances in a more "pro-gun" direction and will be voting accordingly.
And given that these two were "supposed" to be in districts safe for Democrats, even the most rabid cannot absolutely know that they are "safe".
“Go ahead. Name a Democratic [sic] party success story. I dare you.”
That is just too easy!
1. Make voter registration and voting so easy that fraud is easy to commit and almost impossible to prosecute.
2. Make black people so dependent on government handouts that they will always reliably vote Democrat.
3. Make the EPA so strong and the regulations so burdensome that huge amounts of industry, including mining and petroleum refining are forced out of the country.
4. Keep the border porous to encourage illegal immigration to increase the Democrat voter base.
I could go on, but I suspect most readers could add numerous examples to the list.
It should also translate down to business and social association.
If you have elections for “whatever” Club and one of the candidates is a gun control nut then simply don’t vote for them.
This inclues:
Rotary
Lions
Moose
Book Clubs
Chamber of Commerce
Church Boards
PTA
Republican Club
Democrat Club (we have a few here)
sport clubs (byclcle, running, swimming, soccer, baseball etc)
and so on...
those control nuts need to be shut out of ANY leadership position.
I called Di Fi’s office the 1st day she called for gun control and the aide said that she DIDN’T call for gun control. The next day I hear AGAIN that she called for gun control.
Anyway, my message is, “when the people have guns, yes a few people get killed. But when the people don’t have guns, the government KILLS MILLIONS.”
I wonder who Di Fi wants to stick in the ovens? my guess is the Republicans would go first.
