The solution to gun violence is clear (Disarm the dhimmah!)

A Muslim elitist CFR member wants our guns taken away. What a shock!

[JmyBryan]

The data is clear. We have a racial minority that believes education is attending prison. Until prison academy is stopped, changed, shunned, etc. we’ll have plenty of gun violence. All the rest of these scientific conclusions are garbage until this changes.

[wrench]

So the Ausies took all the guns and had less than a 60% reduction in violence involving guns?

Sounds about like the whole country is a gun free zone with the expected outcome.

[ought-six]

FTA: “With 5 percent of the world’s population, the United States has 50 percent of the guns.”

Good!

[tx_eggman]

We are a free people because the common man had and has guns. We will cease to be a free people shortly after they’re taking away.

[atomic conspiracy]

Okay, Fareed, you’re on. A total gun ban it is. We can form a special militia force, better call it an “auxiliary” or something, to seize the existing guns. As a passionate man of the media, you will naturally want to show the courage of your convictions and sign up. I will even go with you and we can go door to door to confiscate all those evil guns. You first.

[muawiyah]

When you have a Moslem of any kind calling for your disarmament, it’s time to buy more guns and ammo.

who to believe tha washington compost or the wall street journal?

[Ron C.]

There's too many criminals and crazy people, and not enough guns being carried per capita in this country.

If everyone was armed, all the time, there would be very much less crime - yeah, maybe for a while more criminals would be suddenly dead, but that would be a major plus. jmho

How many kids would be killed in a school where all teachers, administrators, and janitors were known to carry, and known to be crack-shots?

Fareed Zakaria is an idiot.

[umgud]

The number of deaths by firearms in the United States was 32,000 last year. Around 11,000 were gun homicides.

Bull$h!t. Damn liars. In 2011, the FBI Uniform Crime report listed 12,664 murders, of which 8,583 were gun related.

...a number of sensible gun-control measures...

Please read the 2nd Amendment and then tell me what a sensible measure is that limits a protected right. If you really think it is a sensible measure, try applying the same logic/argument to limiting someone's 1st Amendment rights. Does it still sound sensible?

[ThunderSleeps]

We are a free people because the common man had and has guns. We will cease to be a free people shortly after they’re taking away.

It is not even the fact that we own guns. It is the fact that the government hasn't taken away (infringed) upon the right. The moment we start letting the government decide what we need or don't need - that is no longer freedom and liberty, that is tyranny. Not sometime down the road in the future, that is tyranny right here, right now.

[SENTINEL]

Stick To Your Guns

My thoughts on this.

[familyop]

Maybe the effete political/regulator folks plan to allow another group to be exclusive in owning and carrying weapons after their desired bans. Maybe they’ll arm more of their Muslim terrorist allies in America, too, in an effort to disarm us: descendants of northwestern Europe.

[JustSurrounded]

Precisely! I'd like to see if the same arguments were applied to a religion, would the same conclusion be drawn?

Suppose a particular religion was the seed of many murders, both mass and of individual children, by bomb, knife, stone, gun, airplane? Suppose we enact the same sort of restraints ... heck it's only an amendment in an old and out of date document, right? Let's say 1) all practitioners of the religion must register with a national registry 2) they will not be allowed to gather in more than groups of 7, or 15, maybe, but definitely not in groups of 30 or more, and 3) certain sects will be outright illegal, as they are just too dangerous and there's no real need for them, as there other perfectly good religions and sects that should be adequate. After all, if our Founder's were here today, they would be the first to acknowledge that the world has changed and their basic principles no longer apply. /s

From an Internet source: "Time magazine and CNN suspended columnist and TV host Fareed Zakaria on Friday after he acknowledged that he plagiarized . . . ."

That Fareed Zakaria?

[2ndDivisionVet]

The same.

[elcid1970]

The Koran, Hadiths, & the Pact of Umar are clear:

“INFIDELS MAY NOT POSSESS WEAPONS. ONLY MUSLIMS CAN.”

Watch for all your friendly local imams to endorse the Feinstein gun grab bill.

"In Australia, after a 1996 ban on all automatic and semiautomatic weapons — a real ban, not like the one we enacted in 1994 with 600-plus exceptions — gun-related homicides dropped 59 percent over the next decade..."

Australia:

United States:

Australian total homicides dropped 12% over the period mentioned with their "real" automatic and semiautomatic weapons ban.

The American total homicide rate dropped 23% over the same time period, despite having only a symbolic ban on particular cosmetic features.

Note: I am posting murder numbers in Australia and murder rates in the United States, because those are the charts I found first. The actual improvement is slightly different from what I am reporting, but should not be dramatically different. I would be amazed if Fareed Zakaria reported the facts he chose to report without realizing just how misleading his words are. Sure, gun laws can affect the gun murder and gun suicide rates, but their effect on total murder and suicide rates is not what he is implying. We are facing systematic lies, from leftists with an agenda.
