Can't Fix Crazy
I suppose you've already heard about that guy who last Friday went after twenty-two elementary school kids.
In China.
No?
He did them all with a knife. Hard to believe, considering the Chinese have strict knife control laws.
Now, back to Connecticut.
I'm sure you've already heard the blather from the statist, control freaks. Blah, blah, guns make people violent, blah blah, more guns lead to more violence. As if guns are a zombie bite, guaranteeing to turn you into a flesh destroying lunatic.
Consider what is their core premise: if only the demon weapon, like demon rum, could only be prohibited.
That worked out so well in the twenties. Crystal Meth, today.*
The facts aren't with the gun prohibitionists. Fact: gun homicides are down since the sixties. Fact: number of guns has doubled in the same period. All those statistics flying around FB about how danerous gun ownership is? They lump accidents and suicides together. Or combine home defense and police killings. Because, after all, it's all evil gun work, right?
Or they cite a study of homicides where there was a gun is present in the home. An unfired gun, mind. You see, the gun attracts evil like Satan's titties. So it is a perfectly reasonable conclusion that if a drug-crazed felon with violent priors has an unfired gun in his house when he was murdered, then you and I (law abiding, legal gun owners), with our firearm in the gun safe, are future chalk outlines in the making.
The gun makes us all walking dead.
They have to say that gun ownership is universally evil-making because they can't control the crazies. They know that. So they fixate on the object like the temperance evangelists from the twentieth century obsessed about bathtub gin. With similar impractical results.
Living free means accepting the consequences of being free. One in a million events will happen.
