Anti-gun bigots do the gun control dance, as usual

(1/4) > >>

depserv:
Here are my thoughts on the reaction by bigots to the recent tragedy in Las Vegas:

Once again freedom-hating bigots are dancing on the bodies of the dead demanding civilian disarmament, even before all the facts are known. This is the dance of the demagog, which is the tool of the tyrant, and the demagog knows that it is best to strike quickly, before the facts are known and while emotions run high.

But here's one essential fact we do know: the biggest mass murders have all been committed with things other than guns, so freedom-hating bigots can do the gun control dance all they want, but the truth is even getting rid of ALL guns will not stop someone intent on committing mass murder from doing so. It will just change the method.

And here's another important fact: the biggest mass murders have all been committed by governments, against people who were disarmed, supposedly for their own protection. This is the reality of gun control.

And this leads to another important thing we know for certain: the hands of those who disarm victims are filthy with blood. This has proven itself over and over throughout history. Do not let the liars of liberal media cover up this truth.

The killer in yesterday's massacre was a multi-millionaire, a very successful, very intelligent, very capable man. He had lots of resources, even including his own plane, and lots of money, both of which gave him great power. And he had the ability to use that power to its maximum effect, as his financial success shows.

Even if all guns could magically be removed from the world, or if only government and those who protect first class citizens had access to guns, a man with those resources and capabilities, who was willing to spend days preparing for his act, would be no less able to commit mass murder. This is a cold hard truth that the enemy of freedom seeks to cover up.

One of the biggest mass murders in recent history was an arson fire committed by a man who used about a dollar's worth of gasoline. This mass murder was committed at the Happyland Social Club in NYC in 1990; 87 people were killed. And the guy who did it did not have the intelligence or the resources this recent killer had. And then there is the Oklahoma City bombing, that killed 168 people. Do you think this guy couldn't have planned and carried out something like that?

To try to use this tragedy as an excuse to disarm civilians is an act of a liar and the strategy of one who aspires to be a tyrant. It is the kind of thing that must always be opposed by those who would remain free.

In the aftermath of the nation’s worst mass shooting—at least 59 dead and 527 injured—former Congressman Brad Ashford, who wants his old job back, is pushing for a ban on at least some assault weapons.

“I support working with law enforcement to develop a list of assault weapons that should not be sold here,” Ashford posted on Facebook Monday night. “For my 18 years as a legislator I have supported responsible gun violence legislation. I will continue to do so. It is irresponsible to ignore the harm that is in plain sight.”

Same 'ol song and dance.  Only thing new here is that the shooter might have used a bump stock, which always seemed to be a silly flaunting of the law.  Either make full auto legal or don't, but I'm not a big fan of wink-and-nod workarounds.   See second photo on Fox news article.

They will go on and on about how deadly the bump fire stock and holographic sight are when in reality they are both worthless at that distance for anything other than indiscriminate discharging of rounds. I have fired a bump fire stock. There is no aiming involved, especially at distance. I told my friend after hearing the audio that I was sure what it was going to be. I heard "machine gun trainers" on the radio claiming that they were sure that it was full auto firing. It is obvious if you have heard the spastic rates of bump firing that it differs from full auto.

As sad and tragic as this event is, we can be thankful that the evil actor really did not plan it out any better. He had the means to kill thousands if he wanted to, without guns.

Which is why I could care less if the ATF changed their position on them, or if they were outlawed.  Good and honorable people don't do "indiscriminate" killing even in a self defense situation.  Good and honorable people are accountable for every round. 

I'm no expert but I consider Jeff Cooper to have been one, and he abhorred full auto fire not for some namby-pamby emotional reason but because it is "bad tactics", with just a few rather unique exceptions such as repelling piracy when you're out on the seas alone, or suppressive fire -- which only really works against non-suicidal adversaries.

That's a good argument to raise with one's liberal friends.
