Arizona GOP candidate says Democrats are behind most mass shootings
Yahoo News ^ | 5-18-14 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 05/18/2014 6:47:39 PM PDT by windcliff

An Arizona rancher and Republican congressional candidate said during a primary debate Saturday that the vast majority of mass shootings in the United States are committed by Democrats.

“If you look at all the fiascos that have occurred, 99 percent of them have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people,” Gary Kiehne, who is running for the state's 1st U.S. Congressional District, said during Saturday's GOP primary in Florence, Arizona. “So I don’t think you have a problem with the Republicans.”

When asked how he would protect gun rights, Kiehne, a hotel owner and member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, said he probably owns more guns and ammunition than any of his fellow candidates ("I'm from the country; it's a long ways to town to buy ammo," he said) and that "everyone should own a gun."

Look at the ‘regular’ gun crime figures as well. It is not Bible thumping hunters who vote Right wing populating America’s jail cells. Nor is it VRWC members and TEA types putting arses in the vast majority of correctional facility cots.

It is mostly by a wide margin, people of a liberal/Democrat supporting ideal. Most crime is committed by liberals/Democrats. Regardless of the category. Scratch a criminal, find a liberal/Democrat.

Despite all the hoopla in the media, ever see a story about Right wing serial rapists? Or any other crime of violence? They had to reinvent reality with McVeigh to even put him in the same universe with Right wing politics.

Since they froth at the mouth to attach right wingers to evil, where are the stories? That is the most telling part.

The media is trying to make this another “stuck your foot in your mouth” statement. Only problem is that it’s basically true, especially when you consider that at least half of the killings in this country involve a minority pulling the trigger.

The RINO candidate in this race is Andy Tobin.

Kiehne and Adam Kwasman are the others.

Visit the average prison - over 90+ percent of inmates are democrat...

If democrats pushed through comprehensive gun control it would result in criminals taking over the billion dollar gun industry in the United States. The mob and Mexican drug cartels would double or triple their reach and power.

Insider democrats know this - - especially the corrupt ones out of places like Chicago.

As much as the press likes to portray democrats as innocent foolish white women who are afraid of guns that's just NOT where the big money going into ‘gun control’ is coming from...

Kiehne said deporting every illegal immigrant isn’t realistic.

“I don’t believe you can just grab every one of them and send them back to Mexico or wherever they came from,” he said. Instead, he would take an inventory of the people who already are here and place them in work programs if they’re not criminals.

Kwasman is the only choice for that district.

The common thread behind these democrats shooting innocents is the philosophy of the democrat party. They preach hatred, envy, racism, and victimhood day after day after day. The mentally unbalanced or just plain evil think their actions are then justifiable and right. The Democrat party has a hand in this violence due to their evil philosophy.

Loughner was registered independent. You have to scrub this list if you want credibility.

Adam Lanza?

The Columbine shooters?

Tim McVeigh?

You’ll have a hard time convincing lefties if you don’t have those on your list. This is being debated on the ABC news site right now.

While some things are true, it doesn’t mean it should be said. People running for public office need to have a section of their brain that tells them when things won’t work out well

Of course there was this more recent example: [December 14, 2013]

Student On Arapahoe School Shooter: “Very Proud Of Being A Socialist”

The gunman responsible for Friday's shooting at Arapahoe High School in Colorado is being described as a “socialist” by his fellow students.

“He was friendly enough. Very proud of being a socialist. He was very outspoken on his political views,” student Angie Mock said. “To him, it just meant economic — more economic equality.”

Projectionism. They know they can’t be trusted with guns, so they think nobody can.

Prohibit Democrats from having guns, then we will all be safer.
