In light of the gun-grabbing fascists ramping up their efforts to strip Americans of their natural rights to property and self-defense, I've compiled a list of what seem to be the eight most common, insane, deceptive lies told by leftists who seek to take guns away from individuals and leave them only in the hands of the government/police. As I was about to publish this on LibertyBlock.com, I learned that retired supreme court justice John Paul Stevens, a hero to the radical Democrats wrote an op-ed today calling for the repealing of the second amendment.
Yes, the timing is ironic, No, I'm not sure whether I'm surprised, (he practically asserted this years ago in his Heller dissent) and I will not really address that authoritarian bastard in this article. If you want to know my opinion of him, you need only to look back to the 4th and 5th to last words in the prior sentence.
Onto the list:
1) Gun-grabbers say: “Crossing an international border shouldn’t make someone into a criminal! Immigrants haven't hurt anyone”
It would seem hypocritical, then, that the left believes that the simple act of crossing a state border while legally carrying a pistol should make someone into a criminal! Those who cross from a free state into a fascist state (like NY, NJ, CA, CT, MA, etc.) may serve decades in prison for doing nothing other than carrying a pistol like they do every day in their home state)
Ironic bonus hypocrisy: A man who was deported 5 times for previous crimes crossed from Mexico into California illegally, obtained a pistol illegally, and then killed an innocent young woman. California acquitted him of murder and manslaughter. The defense hardly even disputed the actions he was charged with. He was guilty. And he had been deported for crimes 5 times in the past. But he was not punished, despite using the tool that the left hates more than anything on Earth - a gun. Even Judge Andrew Napolitano, an open-borders advocate called for the killer to be prosecuted and referred to him as a “serious and imminent threat”.
2) Gun-grabbers say: “Not all illegal immigrants are criminals!”
Despite complaining when conservatives generalize illegal immigrants, Democrats believe that all Americans who exercise their 2nd amendment rights ARE criminals and should be treated as such. After one psychotic/evil murderer reportedly killed 17 students in a Florida high school last month, the Democrat elites began spending millions of dollars convincing concerned yet naive Americans to protest in order to call for the government to take natural and constitutional rights away from innocent people like you and me. Due process? Who needs that??
Ironic bonus hypocrisy: Democrats opposed illegal immigration just a few years ago. Today, the Democrat platform supports totally open borders.
3) Gun-grabbers say: “Gun free zones decrease gun crime!”
Actually, statistics show that over 98% of mass shootings occur in gun free zones.
4) Gun-grabbers say: “Strict gun laws (like Chicago has) make cities much safer!”
Actually, Chicago has far more shootings and shooting deaths than any other city in the US.
5) Gun-grabbers say: “The more guns individuals own, the more violent crime occurs!”
Back on Earth, it takes only a few minutes of research to learn that the more gun freedom/more guns exist in a state, the lower the gun crime. New Hampshire and Wyoming have essentially no restrictions on guns, each state has many more guns than citizens, and they consistently enjoy the lowest murder rates in the US. Remember, Chicago has essentially zero ‘legal’ guns, and has already had hundreds of shootings in 2018.
6) Gun-grabbers say: “Only police should have guns! People can’t be trusted to use them judiciously!”
There are far too many cases of police officers using their guns to murder people in cold blood. And there are many more that don’t make the news. And they are almost never punished for using their guns to hurt or kill innocent people.
I have had a difficult time determining whether NYC, Maricopa County, or Miami operates the most unjust police force. Some police departments literally act like violent gangs; using their guns to break into stores, terrorize people, smash the surveillance cameras, and steal the products. The NYPD uses their monopoly on authority and gun ownership to conduct a massive gun-running scheme, in which they exchange gun permits for bribes. Maybe that's why the NYPD supports such strict gun control. The Baltimore Police carry realistic lookalike guns on them in order to plant them on suspects. The Salt Lake City Police use their guns to force people to violate the 4th and 5th amendment rights of trauma patients.
These are just a few examples of many that would make it seem quite difficult to consider American police departments to be ‘judicious’.
Civilians actually spend an incredible amount of time and money on training, holsters, and other equipment to guarantee that they are always practicing extremely safe firearms etiquette. If gun owners in the US were more focused on using them for violence than using them safely, this video wouldn’t have over 11 million views. If the Democratic propaganda about gun owners were true, we wouldn’t watch and upload millions of videos on how to carry safely.
7) Gun-grabbers say: “Only police can utilize firearms safely!” They are too dangerous for civilians!
There are far too many cases of police officers misusing their firearms so pathetically that even a toddler would reprimand them. And many such cases surely don’t make the news. This cop and this cop have fired their guns unintentionally in classrooms full of kids. Some cops load AR-15s, deploy them, and then leave them lying in the street in front of the public. Even FBI agents - the most elite law enforcement agents in the US - are sometimes so irresponsible that they 1) fail to properly secure their carry gun 2) break-dance while carrying/on duty 3) possibly get drunk 4) cause their gun to fly out of its holster 5) pick it up and fire a shot on a crowded dance floor 6) carelessly smile and shrug as if it was just a minor mishap and 7) walk away without assessing the potentially injured patients.
8) “Stop being a cowboy. Just call the police if you’re ever in danger. Police will come and protect you!”
Wow. This is another great one. For starters, the average police response time to even the highest priority dispatch is much greater than 2 minutes. Mathematically, if police cannot travel faster than 1200 feet per second and they are not closer to you than the attacker is, they cannot help you until after you’ve been shot. Protect yourself. Don’t rely on police to protect you. The Supreme Court of the United States has actually ruled that police have no duty to protect you. Their only duty is to arrest people for crimes, not to protect people/stop crimes. If you want protection, look into the Glock 19 for yourself.
Bonus hypocrisy: The left has been loudly yelling since Trump’s election that he is reminiscent of Hitler and that his administration is evil, oppressive, and tyrannical. Why, then, does the left support the federal government (along with state and local governments) having all of the firepower and the individuals having none? Why is the left and their favorite Supreme Court Justice calling for the repeal of the 2nd amendment entirely?
