The Unbelievable Stupidity of Those Who Believe that Laws Stop the Lawless

Lady Gaga is the latest celebrity weighing in on the aftermath of the Las Vegas massacre by blaming lawmakers (aka Republicans) for not passing more gun control. Yoo-hoo Lady G, no law would have prevented the slaughter because the alleged suspect passed all federal laws purchasing his legal guns. Here’s a tip which I give freely (as someone who loathes guns and is not a member of the NRA): if you hear anyone urging Congress to pass more gun controls immediately, consider that person mentally deficient. That advice will be coming from celebrities, the media and politicians who probably all have armed security to protect them.

Sorry there are pictures. Anyway, whenever I need expert advice or a doctoral like summation of a really serious matter, I always wait to see what the celebrity(?) community has to say. NOT! Too bad there are so many people out there (they vote too) that for some reason equate stardom with wisdom. Should be wiz-dumb.

There’s a quote by Orwell (1945) that fits: “Some ideas are so stupid, that only intellectuals believe them.”

I would offer this observation. Within ten years, various laser and sonic type weapons will be possibly built by various garage-scientists and this whole worry about guns will be marginal compared to the next level of technology.

Having abandoned discipline and morality, the left has nothing left but the government and more laws. It’s their substitute for character and virtue, of which they have none.

Why should their (the ‘elites’) families have armed protection but mine cannot?

Never had a liberal have a comeback for that one. They usually then just walk away.

I had a nice discussion with a neighbor who leans left. She was ranting about how we need more gun laws, etc. I asked her if she thought making certain types of guns a felony to posses was what she was hoping for. She said definitely. I asked her if she thought possessing a rifle should get more or less than a handgun and other questions she kept taking the bait. I then said well that really worked well in the drug war. I mockingly told her to look how no one is using drugs any more and how great it was to enact all those laws because it completely stopped everyone from possessing drugs. She just stopped and after a long pause said that she never thought of that. Liberals, always emoting but never thinking.

The left HATE the police and they hate small government, BUT they want us to give up our guns to the government and the police so THEY can protect us all? WTH?!?!?

Liberalism is a mental disease. No sense trying to understand it. Just eradicate it.

“Some ideas are so stupid, that only intellectuals believe them.”

JimRed's Definitions

Intellectual: An individual who is incapable of creating or providing goods or services of value to others, who pontificates and expects to be paid for it, generally from public funds (see also ACADEMIC, the same but in a scholastic environment).

After researching the background of the NRA, I have come to believe that its membership is composed of millions of law-abiding, responsible citizens. I’m not sure if the Las Vegas killer was an NRA member but I seriously doubt it. In fact, nearly all of the modern mass murderers were registered Democrats or apolitical.

LOL - the LAST THING POLITICIANS WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW IS MOST CRIMINALS AND KILLERS ARE DEMOCRATS... AND THEY WOULD IGNORE GUN CONTROL LAWS - just like they ignore other laws.

Surely you can imagine the screaming and caterwalling (sp) had they found a MAGA hat in the room. Kinda surprised one wasn’t planted.

Their reply will be that we have to take all guns and make owning them illegal. To which millions will nod in dumb agreement.

This is ideal for them. Man with no agenda, no social media footprint, legally possessed guns and look,,,just LOOK what happened.

The fact that our rights are ours and not bestowed means nothing to the dumb masses.

This is going to take some fight.

It’s amazing how liberals can cram so mush stupidity in to such a small head.

Brilliant quote. Short, succinct, and accurate.
