Washington Post: Be Scared That Congress Won’t Do Anything About Guns
First they tell us that the problem is only the scary looking assault rifles, so we have to Do Something. But, then they expose their true agenda. Here’s the Washington Post Editorial Board exposing the true agenda
Don’t be scared by NRA hysteria. Be scared Congress will do nothing.
IT WAS a stunning moment: The father of a 14-year-old girl killed in a mass shooting at her high school confronted a U.S. senator: “Look at me and tell me. Guns were the factor in the hunting of our kids in this school this week. And look at me and tell me you accept it and you will work with us to do something about guns.”
Those words from Fred Guttenberg at CNN’s town hall just seven days after his daughter Jaime (“the energy in the room ”) was one of 17 people murdered at a South Florida school were unnerving to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and we hope to other members of Congress. Finally they must recognize that there is a crisis of guns in this country, and that they have an urgent responsibility to do something about it. (snip)
The first step, as Mr. Guttenberg emphasized, must be to actually say what the problem is — and the problem clearly is guns. Yes, there are other issues at play, such as mental health and violence in our culture, and they too must be addressed. But troubled people and violent videos exist in other countries and yet only the United States is awash in gun deaths — from homicides, suicides, accidental shootings and the ever-increasing mass shootings.
There’s no other way to read this but that the WPEB is blaming guns, so, something needs to be done about them all. It doesn’t matter that Government at multiple levels utterly failed in the case of Nutjob Shooter Cruz in Florida, that the sheriff’s department failed to do their duty and go into the school, it’s the guns
To seriously confront gun violence — save lives and prevent injuries — there have to be fewer guns. We would start with banning the semiautomatic rifles that — along with large-capacity ammunition magazines — have become the weapon of choice of mass shooters
See? A ban on scary looking weapons and large capacity magazines are just the first things to do. The first things to start with. The WPEB offers some other ideas
Just as there is the expectation of responsibility and accountability for people who drive cars, so there should be for people who own guns. That means requiring registration, training and insurance.
Training sounds good. I’ve never had a problem with requiring that gun owners go through a training course for approval of a permit. But, registration? This is just a way for Government to know exactly which weapons you have, the better to be able to confiscate it. Insurance? That’s simply to make the cost of ownership so expensive that people cannot afford a firearm.
Other steps are needed. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives should be strengthened so it can do its job of regulating and tracing guns. Innovations should be encouraged that make weapons safer, such as improved gun triggers or smart guns. Laws should be amended to keep weapons out of the hands of domestic abusers. And research funding should be directed at determining what has worked in reducing gun violence.
Perhaps the WPEB could finally come out in favor of full investigation into the Fast and Furious gun running scheme by the Obama administration, which included BATFE. Get NJ to nullify their law on smart guns, and people would develop them. I’m actually all for studies on what works, because we’ll find that having people in gun free zones with guns tends to dissuade nutjobs, while massive controls and bans in places like Chicago do not.
Regardless, all these things are just steps to banning private ownership of firearms by citizens, leaving them in the hands of government.
