If government can curb our rights to fight a virus, then why not to fight gun violence (barf alert)
Chicago S-T ^ | 21 mar 2020 | Mary Mitchell

I am just amazed how quickly the world changed.

Up to this point, the biggest threat many of us have faced was gun violence.

And despite the tens of thousands of innocent adults and children killed each year by guns in this country, no number of deaths has been enough to move government to take the drastic measures now being taken to stop a deadly virus.

Not "gun violence" Mary but rather your homies with guns.

Wait until the Rat politicos in a blue-hive vote-harvesting plantation (city) use mandatory “shelter in place” quarantine violations as an excuse for “red flag” gun confiscations.

This will not end well.

I've been thinking about that very thing. A number of folks are "ok" with what the gubmit is doing because "our guy" is the one doing it.

IF Shillary were in power I'm sure this board and every conservative outlet would be screaming dictatorship.

Now, going forward, a precedent has been set. It is amazing how quickly the nation has agreed to self isolation...for the most part.

IF a demoncrat gets in the WH they could martial this same concern against "gun violence". I wonder what that would look like.

No...I don't want to wonder. I know. And so do you.

Just read about copper as a germ killer.

Brass works too, containing copper.

I think I will handle some brass this morning.

This would make visiting a gun store mandatory for everyone.

If government can curb our rights to fight a virus, then why not curb all ‘PC’ speech?

If government can curb our rights to fight a virus, then why not curb abortions?

If government can curb our rights to fight a virus, then why not curb grievance studies in colleges?

Well there you go. You knew that was coming. Rats will point to the success of their fascism to end the ChiCom Flu to take more freedom and liberties in attempt to implement socialism, knowing full well that this virus will eventually end on its own and regardless of what government does. The reality of not personally getting the ChiCom Flu boils down to one thing: personal responsibility and personal action. Government can try all it wishes, but Americans (human beings) will find ways to associate. Example, given PA Gov. Wolf’s business shutdown orders, the reaction as been completely predictable. You just knew that businesses would go underground. There already is a speakeasy in Harrisburg, near where I live. Point being, people will thwart government attempts to control the virus and to control them, In the process of doing so more people will probably get the virus. However, the virus will go away. Government or no government. The Black Plaque even went away on its own.

So if the President ordered the military into Chicago with the orders to enter all black homes and seize any firearms found, would that be an acceptable solution for your problem?

The new face of stupid. However I do believe that one of the reasons our previous grand leader and CDC were pushing studies of gun violence was because they believed gun violence (not criminal behavior) were a public health issue. They may have thought showing such would give them a defense for a response usually reserved for epidemics of disease.

This might not mean outright banning but it would mean a lot more restrictions on who, what, where, and when of purchases.

Dear Mary the Crackhead.

It is YOUR People that are responsible for the vast majority of Crime and Gun Violence, Maybe you should look in the damned mirror for the answer to your problem. I suppose you could tell all these black feral men and women to start raising their own children instead of slinging dope and pimping out their little sister.

“I’ve been thinking about that very thing. A number of folks are “ok” with what the gubmit is doing because “our guy” is the one doing it.”


“Our guy” is doing what the President can do. The quarantines, curtailment of businesses, shelter-in-place orders have been issued by state governors, not the President. This is how it should be according to the design of our government. And as it turns out, the governors involved all happen to be “their guys”.

Mary Mitchell is a hack who sees EVERYTHING through a racial lens.

Be cause you’d have to sweep the ghettos and that would be racist.

I’d recommend the Illinois governor deputize Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense and send them into the Chicago ‘hood to clean out all the guns owned by felons.

I’m taking my two grandsons out in the boonies for exercise this morning (trigger finger exercise).

= = =

Just make sure anyone around you who coughs, spits, or sneezes, does so on your balls.

That will kill the germs.

Hmmmm.

How would HIV react against Brass Balls?
