Gun Ignorance of the Liberal Left: Case in Point - Daily KOS
By Douglas V. Gibbs
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one. If liberals don’t like guns, they don’t want anyone to be able to buy one. Liberal prejudices against guns are primarily born from their ignorance – not only about human nature, but the firearms themselves.
Also, The United States Constitution’s Second Amendment restricts the federal government from regulating guns at all. Technically, it is a State issue, but a concept like State Sovereignty normally flies high above the heads of today’s American Liberal. The Liberal Left believes that a strong, centralized federal government is what we need. . . except when someone like George W. Bush is President. Then they think it is a bad idea.
In Mexico gun control is in full swing, and as a result the drug cartels are practically running the country. Notice that the criminal element could care less about the laws, and found ways to get their hands on guns. In Britain and Australia, after instituting gun control laws, the occurrence of violent crimes went up.
Criminals love unarmed victims.
Tyrannical governments love unarmed victims even more.
The American Liberal Left is salivating over the current talk about gun control. These people have been waiting for this for so long, and now their dream of disarming the “gun nuts” has come to fruition. Sites like the Daily KOS are not shy about proclaiming they support bans on not only “assault” weapons, but all guns.
The liberal left can’t stand the fact that guns are considered a right, and that owning guns is even allowed in our country. The conservative “right wing” extremists, as they like to call us, are rebellious against their version of America, and the private property of firearms must be confiscated.
The first plank of the Communist Manifesto is the abolition of private property.
The fourth plank of the Communist Manifesto is the confiscation of all the property of emigrants and rebels.
Sporks, a writer for the Daily KOS, recently wrote a piece titled: How to Ban Guns: A step by step, long term process.
The writer is not shy about stating that they believe all guns should be banned. However, this person speaks from an incredible position of ignorance. Let’s use the article to explain my point.
Paragraph 1: The vast majority of firearm deaths occur with handguns. Only about 5% of people killed by guns are killed by guns which would be banned in any foreseeable AWB.
Paragraph 2: Furthermore, there seems to be no talk about high powered rifles. What gun nuts don’t want you to know is many target and hunting rifles are chambered in the same round (.223/5.56mm) that Lanza’s assault weapon was.
Paragraph 3: I like that we’re talking about assault weapons, machine guns, and high capacity clips. But it only takes one bullet out of one gun to kill a person.
Paragraph 4: The only way we can truly be safe and prevent further gun violence is to ban civilian ownership of all guns.
The Turkish Ottoman Empire established gun control in 1911. It then proceeded to exterminate 1 and a half million Armenians from 1914 to 1917.
The Soviet Union established gun control in 1929. Subsequently, from 1928 to 1953, 60 million dissidents were imprisoned and then exterminated.
China enacted gun control laws in 1935. After the communist takeover, from 1948 to 1952, 20 million Chinese, unable to defend themselves, were murdered.
Nazi Germany fully established gun control in 1938. That helped the government to round up 13 million defenseless Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill and impaired human beings. Many were imprisoned in concentration camps, then destroyed.
Guatemala passed gun control laws in 1964. Then, from 1964 to 1981, 100,000 defenseless Mayan Indians were exterminated.
Uganda established gun control measures in 1970. Predictably, from 1971 to 1979, 300,000 defenseless Christians met a similar fate.
Cambodia established gun control measures in 1956. Subsequently, from 1957 to 1977, 1 million Cambodians met their deaths.Paragraph 6: The very first thing we need is national registry. We need to know where the guns are, and who has them.
- Knowing where the guns are, and who has them, enables the government to know who to confiscate the guns from. Criminals will not participate in the national registry, and since their guns are largely obtained illegally, they have no fear of the firearms being traced to them. Therefore, the only guns you would know where they are, and who has them, is those owned by law-abiding citizens, which are not the ones behind most of the gun deaths in America. Also, this sets up the opportunity for a tyrannical government to disarm the public, and for a totalitarian system to rise up. Before you scoff at that possibility, remember that the Germans didn’t think that could happen in their country, either.
Paragraph 7: Along with this, make private sales illegal.
- Is this really a Pandora’s Box Sporks wants to open? The author of the Daily KOS piece wants to ban private sales because if the gun is not registered, nothing needs to be done. An individual, who is not engaged in the business of firearms sales, and who wishes to sell his own personal firearm to another individual, has a right to do so freely. This person-to-person sale does not require a background check because it is a non-commercial, non-dealer transaction founded on the fundamental right to engage in personal commerce. Is Sporks suggesting that the federal government should regulate person-to-person sales? Once you begin with one thing, the government will take a mile. Well, there is that, in addition to the unconstitutionality of the federal government getting involved in such a manner. Perhaps the Constitution means nothing to Sporks.Paragraph 11: I would suggest an immediate, national ban on concealed carry. A ban on internet sales of guns and ammunition is a no brainer.
it appears to produce no increase in accidental deaths.” http://www.law.uchicago.edu/files/files/41.lott_.final_.pdf
Paragraph 12: A national Firearms Owner Identification Card might be good, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary if we have a national database. We should also insist on comprehensive insurance and mandatory gun safes, subject to random, spot checks by local and federal law enforcement.
Paragraph 13: We must make guns expensive and unpopular.
Paragraph 14: I know this seems harsh, but this is the only way we can be truly safe. I don’t want my kids being shot at by a deranged NRA member.
