With all that being said the current media injustice is their push for greater gun control. There’s a few no brainer, common sense, logical thoughts that would serve anyone well when they think about the need for more and stricter gun control….
1) Violent CRIMINALS don’t care about laws, hence the name, criminals…..so strict gun laws do not pertain to criminals just the people who abide by the law.
2) Assault weapons sound and look scary but often time and especially in close quarters shotguns are deadlier and the wounds can be much more devastating.
a. A Joint Service Combat Shotgun Program report on the lethality of shotguns in war states, in support of the use of the shotgun in warfare stated that… "the probability of hitting a man-sized target with a shotgun was superior to that of all other weapons" So why all the fear of assault weapons when shotguns are just as or deadlier then them. It’s because of the PR part of the liberal con. It’s easier to scare people showing pictures of military style weapons and they can conjure up more emotional reaction.
3) A 30 rd magazine sounds and looks scary but it doesn’t take much time to reload 3 10 rd magazines. Again going for emotional reaction rather than rational sense.
4) Most mass shootings happen in gun free zones. There has been times someone tried to do something in an area where citizens are allowed to carry firearms and the bad guy ends up dead quick.
5) Shooting bad guys cut down on repeat offenders!!
6) If we outlawed all guns, you would have to rely on law enforcement to be your only line of defense, and a lot of times that will work, but have you ever called 911 and waited 20 mins for the cops to get there? 20 mins is an eternity when your life is in peril. And crime is worse in gun free areas so the cops would be guaranteed to be busy.
7) The right to defend your life and the life of your loved ones is the most basic and undeniable right you have. No government should be able to hamper your right to protect yourself from those who mean you harm.
8) Violence is increasing in this country but it’s not because of firearms. It’s because of our judicial system that favors the criminals and makes light of violent crimes. If you wanted to cut down on gun violence it would be relatively simple: Make using a firearm in the commission of a felony an automatic 20 year sentence that cannot be reduced, plea bargained, or thrown out on top of whatever sentence comes with the felony when found guilty. Bad guys will still be bad guys but less of them will be using firearms if instead of serving 5 years for robbing a liquor store they end having to serve 25 years for robbing a liquor store with a gun. PUNISH THE BAD GUYS!!! Put violent people where they belong and encourage education and training for average citizens to learn how to use firearms effectively and safely. Between a well-educated armed society and heavy penalties for committing violent crimes, I’m pretty sure that would cut down in violent crimes more than saying 30rd magazines are outlawed and those scary assault weapons are banned.
So yeah that’s my 100st rant. LOL. I know a lot of people will disagree with me but it set me off yesterday when I looked at the front page of the USA today and on the bottom half of the page I read this headline: “Police now tell schools: As last resort, take out shooter. Arming teachers not advised, nor is cowering” REALLY???? Last resort? Take the shooter out!! Take a bad guy out before he takes the lives of our most precious of lives, children. We have armed guards to protect our money at every bank. I believe children are more important than money and thus should be protected more effectively. Put a bullet into these psychotic monsters before they take a life and stop letting the media make them into celebrities and encouraging more psychotic rejects desperate for attention to commit heinous acts of violence and malice. But then again the government and media aren’t really interested in protecting children….if so they wouldn’t ignore the amount of children whose lives are saved because someone used a firearm to stop a killer, and if the number of lives lost was actually a big deal why not ban alcohol????? 1350 children 14 years and younger died last year as a result of alcohol related accidents. 6000 teens 14 year old and older died last year in an alcohol related deaths. 2132 children under 14 were murdered by a family member while the family member was intoxicated. Seems the greatest threat to the lives of children is alcohol. No mention about those statistics, or mentioning the culture that rap music has reinforced in inner city communities to keep teens in a life with no future. But then again Obama really can’t be seen blaming rap music or alcohol….too many rappers and celebrities were on the campaign trail with him LOL. I won't even mention the hypocrisy of being pro abortion and then preaching about the sanctity of innocent lives...that may be considered a low blow for the morally confused and challenged left.
Thanks for reading and putting up with my rant!!! If you want to add something please do, if you’re going to be ugly then keep it to yourself.
p.s. I hate anyone who flies a flag at half-mast for celebrities…Chris Christie is a RINO, Half-mast should be reserved for those whose service to the nation will be missed and is appreciated. R.I.P Chris Kyle, a great American hero! Whitney Houston…a loser who had money, fame, and notoriety and pissed it all away with drugs and alcohol abuse…great example for future generations. Guess which one had more flags flying at half-mast around the country? The answer is disgusting.
