The Gun Debate Rages on and the Bodies Keep Piling up.....

After all the kids were gunned down at Sandy hook, the gun crowd told everyone their solution was armed guards at every school. American schools are soft targets because there is nobody standing there with guns.

For the gun crowd more guns solve all problems. If you have a gun problem….. what you need is more guns.

Sure our country has more guns than every other country already. Sure our country has more gun violence than every other country too. But (according to them) If you want less gun violence you just need even more guns. Guns are the cure all for all gun problems…….. even though there is no evidence anywhere that that is even remotely true.

What is actually true does not matter to the gun crowd. What is logical also does not matter. What matters (to them) is that our society needs more and more guns.

President Obama wanted to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. That is an idea that actually does work. We know it works because from 1994 to 2004 assault weapons were banned. Gun violence did go down. That is an undisputable fact.

From 1994 to 2004 Democracy did not come to an end either (Despite the dire warnings). The American flag continued to fly and the country was not taken over by the Communists. The US Constitution did not burst into flames either. Everything was just fine.

After Sandy Hook 62% of Americans supported banning high capacity magazines. In a normal democracy that would mean something. In a normal democracy what the majority of people want is usually carried out.

In our warped democracy the minority gun crowd usually gets what they want. Why is that? Nobody really knows…….. But as a result of that silliness last week the US Marines came under attack. They didn’t fair much better than the 6 year olds. Turns out US schools aren’t the only soft target.

The gun crowd today is spewing the same answers they spewed then. More guns are needed. Chattanooga Tennessee should be regarded as hostile territory and everyone needs to be armed. So everyone grab a gun and stand outside your employment building just in case.

If after Sandy Hook the minority gun crowd was ignored (as they should have been) the attack last week could have looked very different. Two assault rifles were used last week. Both would have been banned. A high capacity magazine was used (holding 30 bullets). It also would have been banned. I haven’t seen the exact count but many many bullets were fired in a very short period of time. The only reason more people weren’t killed is because of luck……. not because the bullets weren’t fired. All those flying bullets were made possible thanks to the successful efforts of the minority gun crowd (after Sandy Hook). The US Marines thank you. They think you guys are awesome.

Everyone knew more “incidents” would be coming and coming they have. More will be on their way. Everyone can rest easy knowing the most powerful weapons will be easily accessible to every nut case who wants one.

When that happens you can be sure the gun crowd will tell you what they always tell you……Our society just needs more guns. Just a couple of more guns and everyone will be safe……
