I’ve remained silent for a while now, out of respect for the dead and because I don’t like exploiting situations like this.\u00a0 Unfortunately those who support gun control have no problem sensationalizing, over reporting, and frankly traumatizing the public with stories like these.\u00a0 They have been at it for years, they will be at it for years to come.\u00a0 Who wants gun control?\u00a0 The uninformed and those who do not like the idea that you may be able to stand against the things they believe in.\u00a0 Fascists, communists, socialists and progressives like gun control, history teaches us this.\u00a0 Unfortunately we are living in a period of history where we (the collective we) have forgotten the lessons of history and begun to believe that we are better than our predecessors, more civilized. \u00a0 These people think things turn bad quickly with easy to spot signs.\u00a0 History teaches us differently.\u00a0 From antiquity the story always plays out the same and unfortunately it always has the same ending, death and enslavement.\u00a0 There are many different forms of slavery, they all begin with fear.\u00a0 Guns level the playing field.\u00a0 The age old mantra of gun control proponents is that if we have no guns society will be a a safer place.\u00a0 Reality could not be further from that belief.<\/p>\n
Let us say that we could in fact remove ALL of the guns from society, including those that the criminals have.\u00a0 That would be utopia, no?\u00a0 I mean crime would go down, no more crazy people shooting up schools and theatres and such…right?\u00a0 Wrong.\u00a0 So the criminals are disarmed does that mean they will suddenly become law abiding citizens?\u00a0 No it does not.\u00a0 But now they have the advantage.\u00a0 How?\u00a0 Well guns have an equalizing effect on society.\u00a0 You see a 70 year old man being attacked by a 20-30 year old attacker is going to lose in 99% of the cases.\u00a0 What choice do the defenseless (the children, the seniors, the women, the weak, the timid) have but to submit under gun control?\u00a0 NONE.\u00a0 Think about the defenseless group of “the weak” for a moment, that group might include a 6 foot 5 inch man who weighs 300 pounds, if he is confronted by 4-5 thugs with baseball bats.\u00a0 The defenseless become anyone who is a law abiding citizen.\u00a0 The criminals know this, the police know this, the politicians know this, they are banking on the fact that you won’t realize this.<\/p>\n
Facts.\u00a0 People who want gun control HATE FACTS.\u00a0 They are emotional beings not willing to admit that bad things happen and life is often unfair and cut short.\u00a0 They do not want to solve the problem, they want to feel better.\u00a0 Unfortunately for them, only after we loose our freedom with they realize their mistake.\u00a0 Anyone who ignores all facts and rationalizes away anything that conflicts with their ideas, is probably… well probably suffering from some sort of insanity.\u00a0 I know that will make some cringe, but that is part of the problem.\u00a0 Evil relies on the fact that “good”, nice people are willing to try to find compromise.\u00a0 Good people do not compromise when the facts are on their side.\u00a0 If they did, we would be drinking a lot more tea today!<\/p>\n
Now that I have said most of my peace, I want to share a few videos that present a few different perspectives and some clarity on several issue I have not touched on.<\/p>\n
Let’s start with the facts about the current gun control move, a decent presentation without the sensationalized coverage:<\/p>\n
