Apparently there’s a swell of anti-gun fervor in Oregon. The Democrats who infest that state want it to go the way of states like New York, Connecticut, and Colorado with regard to stricter gun control legislation.
They don’t know what “shall not be infringed” means.
During the gun control debate which shouldn’t be a debate, several notable gun control advocates have said that their suggestions, if adopted, wouldn’t end gun violence. So, not only are these people advocating unconstitutional legislation, they’re also recommending ineffective legislation.
Don’t take our word for it. You can see them saying as much on the video below.
You’ll see the governor of Oregon himself, John Kithaber, testifying to that effect. Also, you’ll note the husband of Gabby Giffords echoing the sentiment. Ceasefire Oregon’s Penny Okamoto is also featured explaining that gun control doesn’t mean an end to gun violence. A Portland police officer and a disgraced Multnomah County Commissioner also make an appearance.
Have a look at the video below.
Please Re-post the link to the video
Besides, we as a society that loves it’s children *Sob* need to have a real conversation about some of the real dangers stalking our babies on a daily basis – Stairs, buckets, fire extinguishers and of course the granddaddy of them all: Di-Hydrogen Monoxide!
Since reduction in crime is not really the intention of gun control, why is this a surprise?
Thanks!
These people were advocating FOR gun control, correct?
It’s always one more ‘commonsense’ law here or ‘sensible’ measure there as being the first step to somewhere the don’t specify.
But we know what the ‘end game’ is don’t we?
BTW, I use the word ‘commonsense’ in my admonition for the 2nd amendment as an in your face refutation of the gun grabbers use of the word.
Trust me, it ticks them off to no end and all the more reason to keep it up.
No surprise – it’s more like here they are admitting the obvious.
I never realized how many of the gun grabbers have admitted to this however.
If they were oh so concerned about ‘the children’ then why aren’t they up in arms (pardon the pun) about other dangers to the little tikes?
Why aren’t they concerned about the guns in the hands of the government?
Everyone's missing the point!
The lefty libs don't want to take away your guns for the purpose of ending gun violence... don't be absurd. They want to take away your guns to take away your guns. The means IS the end.
Thus George Orwell:
"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me."
George Orwell
1984
They don’t give a rip about child safety or protecting the children, if they did they would also be focusing on other dangers – not just the ones they can use for political advantage.
And if they were REALLY concerned about ‘Gun violence’ or guns being stolen by criminals or whatever BS they happen to be spouting at the moment they would do something about guns in the hands of the criminals and the government.
THEY DON’T!!
Instead they focus on doing whatever they can to deprive you of your Commonsense civil right of armed self-defense.
The rest is but a LIE, just like most of their Commie national agenda.
BTW, that quote sounded eerily like the words of Saul Alinsky doesn’t it?
