just point to the crime statistics and the drug cartels which overwhelming show the inadequacy of law enforcement notwithstanding their often brave and best efforts?

You bring up an interesting point and I would like to take it one step further.

We have had several heinous mass shootings committed by mentally unstable people with guns. The left's response is to curtail the rights of law abiding citizens to participate in constitutionally guaranteed activity.

Meanwhile over the past 5 years the Cartels have taken over much of the interstate illegal drug trade. Most of this is being done by illegals. If the right even suggests tighter immigration enforcement against those that have broken the law to enter the U.S., we are called racist.

Very good point. The narco traffickers blend within the illegal alien community, and yet we don’t blame the illegals for the drugs.

Why does the left want to punish law-abiding gun owners for those few who commit heinous acts with the guns. How many guns exist in America? And how many crimes are committed with guns. Only a tiny amount of guns — .001 percent? — are involved in crimes. How many people own guns? How many people commit crimes with guns? Only a time amount of people — .001 percent — of gun owners commit crimes.

I am sick of the broad brush with which gun ownership is painted in order to target a tiny segment.

There are thousands of people killed by drunk drivers each year but do I have to lose my right to drink or to drive simply because a lot of other idiots drink and drive?

The left simply doesn’t like guns, and I haven’t yet figured out why?

Our politicians do as they are told. They all are sellouts. They do not want the righteous to apply self defense at school against bullies, even punching is a no no.

The whole meme is accept corruption, be issued and shut up, dont be smart.

You could be challenging authority. The comformity has gone completely nuts in America.

These people want a dictator.
