Think Global Warming/Climate Change - and Michael Crichton's book "State of Fear" - it's what the Left counts on: keeping us in a state of fear.
The difference being that gun ownership allows the citizenry to resist, to remain free from the State.
We see the idiots in Europe that are suddenly jealous of our gun laws because their own governments have turned on them.
But they’re the enlightened ones and us ‘muricans are inbred hicks.
Leftists always learn the hard way about this aspect of totalitarianism. They never seem to see the light until the oven door closes on them.
Dewey was a Godless neo-pagan who was elated by the fallacious claim of evolutionary materialists and their pantheist counterparts (i.e. Fabian socialists) that man is an emergent soulless product of nature qualitatively no different than slugs and slime-mold. Like all such thinkers (including the author of the article) Dewey hated the idea that man is fallen, thus the possibility of evil exists within all men and women. Because such people desperately want to believe in the goodness and perfection of men they recoil in horror from the realistic thinking of gun and self-defense rights advocates because if man needs to protect himself from other men then obviously the “man is good” fantasy is just that—a fantasy in the minds of men who hate reality, especially the reality of their own propensity toward evil.
funny we didn't have a gun problem before the Marxist gun stripping Commie president stepped into office. One with a puppetmaster who wants a one world government with open borders and no guns for the citizens to be able to protect themselves with so he and his kind (tyrants) can subjugate the masses and profit handsomely off it. Funny coincidence isn't it?
If anything, Government is in the business of fear. Creating it, instilling it and perpetuating it. Some of what this professor wrote about the NRA could also be said about AARP, NAACP, and dozens of other PC groups.
The right to bear arms affirmed in our Constitution is the one thing that instills fear in government, and that is the key here.
It reminds me of the old joke where a policeman stops a driver for a broken tail light. During the stop he asks about “carrying any weapons, etc.” and the driver responds yes - all legal. Ankle revolver, shoulder holster, side holster, gun in the glove box and console and a shotgun and AR-15 in the trunk he adds.
“That’s a lot of guns. Just what are you afraid of Mr.?”
“Not a damn thing, officer.”
Ya think?
Waiting to see videos of salons security.. The security they surround themselves with... Gated homes and top security.
What are they saying?
The “Gun Free Zone” signs they advocate aren’t working?
Can anyone think of any Liberal concept that works?
I can’t either...
Uh, Bloomberg wants us to live in fear. Fear of mass shootings of our children, and want to take guns away from law abiding citizens in order to alleviate that fear.
More important, just about anywhere one lives, there are going to be burglars, robbers, rapists, and killers on the loose nearby ready and eager to take you or people you care about as their prey. One need not live in fear though, so long as you take reasonable precautions, which may well include being armed and ready to defend oneself and others.
Sigh.
Yet another bloated liberal in love with the sound of his own beating gums and yammering on and on with the sort of blather that simply doesn’t parse in the real world.
And those spontaneous shootings .... among students .... were all of the participants students?
And were those outbursts prompted by arguments over the cosmological constant, or by disagreements about how much bud is contained in a kilo?
If Firmin DeBrabander says it, that’s good enough for me!
Actually, Firmin DeBrabander wants us to live in fear.
A very illuminating article on the flawed mentality of the left, fortunately Donald Trump has clearly stated that he is a strong supporter of our Second Amendment rights and has condemned the so-called ‘gun free zones’ that end up just being a target rich environment for the sickos who wake up one morning and decide to commit mass murder.
>>Rather, he argued, the classroom must feature dialogue between students and teachers invested in a common task of inquiry.
Do they realize how stupid this sounds? First, if the students don’t “fill up” with knowledge, how can they have a dialogue with a college educated adult who has taught this class a dozen times. There is no common task of inquiry that the students and teachers share, unless the teacher just feigns ignorance to pump up the student’ self esteem.
Aahhhhh. I get it now. Haha
Well, there ya go, "feeling of security".
Not being protected by your own Glock or S&W, just feeling safe, by being in a gun free zone with a bullet proof shield hanging from the rafters...oh, wait...
Austrians rushing to buy guns in the face of Muslim invasion
a philosophy professor at an art school dictates self-defense policy for otherwise free people. Amazing
