Everybody is against violence, Sweetie, but countries with strict gun control laws have higher overall rates of violence than those that don’t.

WOULD BANNING FIREARMS REDUCE MURDER AND SUICIDE?, Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Volume 30, Number 2, Spring 2007 (pp. 649-694)

The trick you hoplophobes use is to insist on focusing on gun violence alone, as if it exists in a vacuum.

Don’t you care about the people who get killed by fists and feet and knives and baseball bats too?

Or is your concern limited strictly to guns and how to subjugate the people who own them?

These old lefties are going for broke.

Disarming the people of the world is a big time globalist goal. It leads to mass slaughter, like in Mexico for example, but globalists don’t like the possiblity that they might be picked off by the slaves they desire to control and rule.

Globalists also need to overcome our constitution in order to create a “more perfect union” under the UN’s rule. Americans have way too much power for their liking and we keep messing up “logical” plans for their rule. As Government Electric CEO says China has the most efficient and most ideal government for global business.

This is where they are coming from with their missives on global warming (UN taxation and Agenda 21) and condmening the constitutional rights of Americans. They have all come out against the freedom of speech and now they are huffing and puffing about the second amendment.

Most Americans have not a clue of what is intended by these citizens of the world.
