I sense that the reality of liberalism is becoming apparent even to those who were its strongest adherents. Hopefully, they’ll be like reformed smokers and even conservatives will avoid their anti-liberal tirades at parties. Perhaps the pendulum swingeth back.
The gun-free zones: that's where the defenseless victims are.
The best web site ever lives right in the author’s back yard. I invite you all to check out www.heyjackass.com for a light hearted look at the tragedy that is Obammy’s and Rahm’s Chicago.
Note to the criminal community: rob this guy at his house; he’s not carrying.
By “gun person” he presumably means someone who believes that human beings have the right to defend themselves against predators who wish to kill them.
In stating that he is NOT a “gun person” he is thus confessing that he is, ipso facto, an idiot.
Guns are no more the problem than spoons are for fat people. A useful or misused tool. The “problem” isn’t the tool, the problem is the motive of the person using the tool. But that’s too deep for libs, so they ban sodas, guns, and probably spoons next.
To the author: Welcome to the party, new friend.
He still does not grasp what the real reason for the dems obsession with gun control. It’s not crime or self protection ...it’s disarming the populace so they can enforce their policies. The founding fathers in their wisdom recognized this...thus the second amendment.
Start dropping mortars into the slums and send the inhabitants into the rumored massive FEMA camps. Then send them to Mugabe, he needs farmers. Reclaim the territory.
Yo—jerk!
When they’re kicking yer door down at 3:00 AM, you are either a ‘gun person’ or wish you were.
Is it that so many do not read, or that so many cannot comprehend? Just wondering.
And welcome.
Anyone remember Mike Royko, Chicago columnist? Very anti-gun till he read of the woman who was kidnapped, raped, kicked out in a bad section of Chicago, and raped again by others.
He had a turn about at that time and became very pro-gun for self defense.
The point in this case is really not about guns. It is that law enforcement is a public duty of all citizens, that police are just a convenience that perform three functions.
1) 24/7 watchmen.
2) Arresting of those believed to be caught in the commission of a crime, and gathering evidence that a crime has been committed.
3) The dogged pursuit of those implicated in crimes, so that they might be arrested.
None of these things implies providing immediate assistance or protection to citizens confronted with crime. This means that citizens must be able to themselves confront and thwart crime, by being armed.
But, and this is important, police have severe constraints on their functions that other citizens do not have. Citizens, if their life is imperiled by a criminal, may effectively act as a judge, jury and executioner, and yet their actions are legal and just.
This is important, because it implies that carrying out violent felony offenses can potentially have a death penalty.
While courts treat adults and juveniles differently, the honest citizenry is under no obligation to do so. Being shot does not discriminate by age. The courts may give a limited sentence, with an offer of eventual probation or parole; but citizens can kill that same criminal dead, without appeal or mitigation because of the criminal’s “troubled childhood.”
The author writes: “...Even if that person is a gang member, it’s still another human being getting shot. Somebody lost a child, a brother, a dad, a cousin, a friend...”
Yes, but that human being, if they were involved in the felony commission of a crime, are *subject* to the death penalty from honest citizens. And this is just, so while their family may mourn their passing, society should not, even if “they were a good boy, who was turning their life around.”
No, they were a violent criminal committing a violent crime. And even criminal trials only care about what a defendant has done, not what beneficial things they *might* have done in the future.
Especially the trial given by an honest citizen to a criminal committing a violent crime.
There's something radically flawed in the thinking process of the average liberal.
This liberal is abandoning the idea that, "guns cause crimes", which was always nonsense, to a new idea, "poor mental health causes crimes".
Both of these flawed opinions were adopted by the liberal after considering anecdotes printed by the liberal media.
Does anyone really believe that the gangsters fighting over control of the drug trade and other illegal activities in Chicago have mental health issues? I don't.
These gangsters are simply evil. Hundreds of deaths in Chicage each year and thousands nationwide have nothing whatever to do with "mental health". These murders are committed by vermin who value only their own welfare and who simply do not value the lives of others. They may have heard of the Golden Rule, but they don't observe it.
The best solution to curbing this evil is the arming of good people so that they have at least a fighting chance when confronted by evil people or, in those rare occasions, when they are confronted by people with mental health issues.
