Gun control advocates like to pretend that the facts are on their side. Of course, we also know that the research they like to push has…let’s just say it has problems.
The truth of the matter is that there is a tendency among the anti-Second Amendment types to simply ignore anything inconvenient. When the polls say that the public no longer supports infringements on our right to keep and bear arms, they simply cite older polls that tell them what they wanted to hear in the first place, just to name one example.
But I came across another example.
It comes from a letter to the editor of the LA Times and is a prime example of how your rank and file anti-gunner will present only the details that bolster their argument.
To the editor: The recent killing of a 4-year-old in his car during a road-rage incident is just the latest tragedy that shreds the idiotic argument that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
We need more restrictions on gun sales, fewer guns in the public’s hands and laws that advance these objectives. Voting out every politician who supports guns at the expense of humans is a necessity.
Now, road rage is a legitimate issue. People’s anger, in general, is a legitimate issue. That means a four-year-old child being killed in a road rage incident is beyond a tragedy.
But would more restrictions on gun sales actually do anything? On first blush, based on the facts presented in this letter to the editor, it might suggest that maybe they would.

“NOT having firearms kills more innocent people than firearms do” L.Star
The most dangerous things in history have been totalitarian, leftist movements. Communism/marxism - 150+ million, islam 200+ million. Citizen gun ownership could have made these killings a risky thing to do.
Well said.
That’s true.
As the famous fraudulent book “Arming America” showed, even scholarly anti gun history books are outright fabrications. So bad was it that the Bancroft Prize for history had to be returned.

Willful ignorance is one of the hallmarks of left wing politics.
They absolutely refuse to believe anything that discredits their belief system, no matter how glaringly obvious the evidence.
Indoctrinated idiots, dangerous morons.
My favorite is their statistics on children who die because of firearms and the talking point that all firearms must be banned to protect children from a violent death.
OK, so their definition of children includes 18 to 21 (or older) gang members. It also includes younger children who are gang members or involved with drug trafficking. Further it includes suicides.
Now if you look at the type of “firearms” used, they are almost exclusively handguns. No, not AK’s or AR’s nor rifles of almost any kind. The truth doesn't matter, nor do logical arguments. It is all about emotions and image.
100,000+ ODs/yr but guns are THE problem.
Every anti gunner needs to be required to stand at the gun counter at Bass Pro and watch someone purchase a gun. Its an ordeal. Mr. GG2 just picked up his new CZ P-07 pistol the other day. By the time we got out of there I had lost the will to live. And he has a CCL.
These people have been ignoring the Constitution for years!
Same with the SCOTUS!
In Marbury v. Madison the Supreme Court announced for the first time the principle that a court may declare an act of Congress void if it is inconsistent with the Constitution.
“All laws that are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.”
Marbury v. Madison
Guess ignoring for a set length of time equals “precedent”?
That’s what they want everyone to believe!☹️
And a bunch do just that. If no one objects for X years.....must be okay. Much dumbassery going on.
That comes from not understanding or even caring about the Constitution.
Ask any number of people what the Constitution is about.
Number one answer: “It gives us our rights!”
IT DOES NO SUCH THING!🥴☹️
LOL! And, according to branDUHn, they are not absolute either. Anyone think there would be an issue with messing with the 13th or 19th amendments?
The only solution is to take them to the range, get them some training, and shoot up a few bricks of ammo.
