Joe Nathan DeWight, The Western Center For Journalism — It is not about the little children and it never has been. The Liberals have been hiding behind the “Children” just as a bank robber might hide behind a hostage. Consider this: The same people who are saying that we need more gun control “for the children” are the same ones who have been saying “we need the taxpayers to pay for abortions for anyone who wants one.” If it had been up to the Democrats, some of these children might never have reached childhood because they could have been aborted. You are crazy if you think the left cares a twit about the children.The left has been trying to take away America’s Second Amendment for many years. First they will say it is only the machine guns and that it is to protect the children. Can anyone tell me of any child that has ever been killed by one of these guns they want to take away. The fact is, the laws we have in place now would have prevented what has happened in any of these school shootings if the bad guys had simply obeyed the laws that are in place. We have this little problem though: bad guys don’t obey the laws. That is why they call them the bad guys.
If stricter gun laws were the answer, there would be no shootings in Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York. There would not be any drug use violations because we have strict drug laws. No pedestrian would ever be hit by a car because the pedestrian would not walk when the law said “Don’t Walk” and a car would never go through a crosswalk when the law said “Stop.” No one would ever beat up their wife, or husband because we have laws against that. The fact is, if you take guns away from the good guys, only the bad guys will be left with guns. How do you think that will work out?
While the Conservatives have been mourning the deaths of the children killed in any of these schools, the liberals have been excited that there is another situation that just might help them take more freedom from the American citizens. You might be thinking, that is a terrible thing to say. I am thinking that is a terrible way for them to act. It was Rahm Emanuel—one of the President’s advisors—who said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” I can just hear the people in the White House saying, great news boss, we have a serious crisis in Connecticut that I think will help us do away the Second Amendment. Then they can start on the First or Tenth Amendment.
Just a little math test for the Liberals out there.
1: If there is a bad guy with a gun and he is 4 feet tall, and there is a good guy without a gun and he is 6 feet tall, who is the tallest?
A: They are the same height
B: The bad guy is taller because he has a gun.
C: It does not matter who is taller because the bad guy just shoot the good guy.
2: If you have a bad guy who has a gun and he is 6 1/2 feet tall, and you have a good guy who also has a gun and he is only 5 feet tall, who is the tallest?
A: They are the same height.
B: They are the same height because they both have a gun.
C. It does not matter because when the bad guy saw the good guy’s gun, he ran away.
3: If there is a bank with 5 cashiers, 1 manager, and 21 customers and none of the cashiers, manager, or customers have a gun because it is a “Gun Free Zone”, and a bad guy walks in with a gun and tells the cashiers to give him their money, how many might be killed?
A: None, because the bank manager explained that they didn’t have any guns.
B: 27 because the bank robber already knew no one in the bank had a gun.
C: 1, the bank robber, because he felt bad about what he was doing and shot himself.
4: If there is a bank with 5 cashiers, 1 manager, and 21 customers and some of the cashiers, the manager, and some of the customers have guns, and a bad guy walks in with a gun, and tells the cashiers to give him their money, how many might be killed?
A: None, because the robber didn’t see a “No Gun Zone” sign so he went to a different bank.
B: 27, because no one in the bank wanted to hurt the robber, because he must have a reason.
C. 1, the bank robber, because 1 manager, 3 cashiers, and 16 customers shot him.
Just something for our liberal friends out there to think about.
Did you know that if you take a gun, any gun, load it, cock it, and then just place it somewhere in public, it will not kill anyone? Did you also know that if you take a gun, any gun and hide it somewhere, make sure there are no bullets in it, and just leave it in its hiding place. If a bad guy found it he could use it to kill some one? But in either case, the gun was innocent.
In simple language, for our educated Liberal friends:
Cars do not kill people. Bad or careless drivers kill people with their car.
Bicycles do not kill people, people riding bikes, but not being careful enough, die.
Guns do not kill people, bad people kill people, sometimes using a gun.
