Dems and gun control -- they want it whether it works or not
Fox News ^ | July 1, 2019 | John R. Lott, Jr., Andrew Pollack

The two Democratic presidential debates last week in Miami were marked by calls to remember Florida’s Parkland High School shooting, which occurred only 50 miles away from where the debate took place. The Democrats agreed on two solutions to stop these attacks: impose background checks on private transfers of guns, and ban “military-style” “weapons of war.”

Gun control always works as actually intended. It creates an ever increasing population of scofflaws who can then be persecuted by the state.

...and ban “military-style” “weapons of war.”...

I recognize that Miller is a disfavored precedent, but even so, how does this service a challenge based on Miller, which essentially said that the only protected weapons were those which might have military usefulness.

Gun control = control of the populace

They want US disarmed for the very reason the founders foresaw.

Tyranny.

Thomas Jefferson wisely observed that the 2nd Amendment wouldn’t be needed until they try to take it.

A lot depends on how you define “works”.

If by “works” you mean reduces crime and murders, no it does not “work”.

If you mean does it “work” for enabling tyranny, disarming the peasants “works” every time.

How can you tell if you are a peasant?

If they are trying to disarm you, you are a peasant, or soon will be.

Personally, I don’t think we should kneel before badly decided precedent.

Shall not be infringed is as clear as humanly possible.

Gun control works extremely well if the objective is genocide.

They know it doesn’t work, but they want it so that “the well trained militia” cannot put down a government out of control.

You don’t really expect them to come out and tell everyone; we want your guns so you can’t fight back when we start killing all non conformist.

Leftists don’t hate guns, that’s a myth. They hate YOU.

Leftists were all about “free speech” prior to their hijacking the universities. Now, it’s “STFU”. They hated them some corporations too, till they can gain control.

There is no point in trying to reason or persuade a leftist. They aren’t negotiating from a position of good faith or open to facts, logic, or reason. They don’t care about any of that and never have.

Of course the aspiring Rat dictators want gun control. . .their actions betray their REAL intent . . . and that intent is, if we get shot for something, it is the Rat dictator that will give the order.

If they want gun control, Hollywood should not be allowed to have guns in movies. Too much violence!
