Don’t blame us for the laws liberals don’t enforce.

In the case of the Navy Yard Shooter, liberals like trained monkeys will be demanding more gun control. Never mind that ABC admits that the District of Columbia “has a litany of laws on the books that make it more difficult to obtain some firearms, impossible to obtain others, and illegal to carry any loaded gun in the city.”Source: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/09/d-c-gun-laws-some-of-the-strictest-in-the-u-s/

So violating the letter and spirit of the Second Amendment didn’t keep anyone safe, neither did the following:

“Although Alexis had been arrested for two previous gun incidents–including shooting out the tires of a co-worker’s car, according to information released by the Seattle Police Department–he was not prosecuted in either case. “

Really? So in pro-gun control Seattle they don’t prosecute people who shoot tires? Gee, now wonder the criminals do what they want, the DA’s are too busy to prosecute them!

Time Magazine even surprised me with a moment of accidental honesty:

“Recently defeated federal gun control measures wouldn’t have stopped Alexis’s purchase either. Legislation co-sponsored by Senators Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Joe Manchin of West Virginia in April would have provided grants to states to improve the national crime database and include mental health records for the seriously mentally ill. But while Alexis’s father told police that his son had anger management issues and suffered from PTSD, there is no evidence that any member of his family sought legal action for his reported mental health issues. In other words, neither current nor proposed laws would have blocked Alexis from arming himself.”

Clearly the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Good guys however obey the law, and when they see a Gun-Free Zone sign, they leave their guns in the car or at home. So here’s an idea, instead of demonizing the mentally ill and passing draconian laws that rarely get enforced, why not just let us keep our guns? In fact, is it not shameful that military installations are such easy targets? You’d think that the military would be the most gun-friendly institution in the federal government, yet instead they disarm the troops and expect to fight a gunman with nothing but their wits.

 

BS from BU.

It’s open season on gun owners (does it ever stop?) and Boston University is doing it’s part. As reported on Al Jazeera (hate using them, but news is news)

“A new study published in the American Journal of Public Health on Thursday has found a “robust relationship” between rates of gun ownership and firearm homicide, challenging the National Rifle Association’s assertion that more registered guns equal fewer firearm-related deaths.

However, the study noted that while gun ownership is a significant predictor of firearm homicide rates, the correlation did not necessarily mean that higher ownership directly caused more gun-related killings.

The researchers looked at firearm homicide data in all fifty states between 1981 and 2010 and found that for each 1 percentage point increase in gun ownership, a state’s firearm homicide rate jumped by 0.9 percent.”

The study is BS. First of all, it doesn’t account which guns are bought in the black market and which ones are bought legally. Just like not everyone who carries marijuana is an illegal drug dealer, most people who carry/keep guns are not criminals. Sometimes criminals themselves don’t carry guns because getting caught with a gun can create a lot of legal complications. Just check out Florida’s 10, 20, Life law regarding guns and you’ll see what I mean.

 

Midewest college students oppose guns on campus. So what?

Ball State University took a survey of “undergraduates at 15 Midwestern colleges found that 78 percent opposed concealed handguns on campus.”
Source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/11/study-midwest-college-students-oppose-guns-on-campus/2802495/

The sample was only 1,649 undergraduates, but let’s say the survey was accurate, let’s assume the question was worded in a way not to create a bias, so what? I was a college student once, I don’t remember my opinions being worth a damn on campus. So why should we care if most liberals would rather be unarmed and defenseless?

“Students said they wouldn’t feel safe if faculty, students and visitors had weapons on campus. About 66 percent of of students said carrying a gun wouldn’t make them feel less likely to be troubled by others.”

Yeah, and I don’t feel safe when only criminals have their weapons on campus.

“To me, it’s clear that we need to have decision-making on this idea,” said Khubchandani, an assistant professor of community health education. “But the people that should be involved are the students and the campus police chiefs instead of a policymaker.”

Sorry Kubchandani, but some issues are too important to be left to a bunch of dumb college students who don’t know any better. Just like your publicly-funded university can’t ban the First Amendment, you can’t ban the Second Amendment. You want to do your own thing? Then renounce all public funding and become a PRIVATE university.

“Indiana’s two largest colleges, Indiana University and Purdue University, ban firearms on campus. University officials have said changing that policy would pose an increased safety risk.”

They always say that, but they never prove it.

“Republican state Sen. Jim Banks has proposed legislation for the past two years to let students carry firearms at public universities. Neither of the bills made it to a hearing.

Earlier this year, he told The Indianapolis Star that he brought up the issue for college students who want the protection of a gun as they walk on campuses at night.

“It’s a matter of protecting themselves, and I take that very seriously,” he said.”

And I praise Banks for writing this bill and trying to get it passed. He’s absolutely right, I would have felt a lot safer with a gun than by pressing one of those blue button things that call the police or campus security (some campuses have them), assuming I can run fast enough to get to one of them, and that I’m not dead when unarmed campus security shows up.

“Lawmakers in at least 19 state legislatures introduced bills in 2013 to allow concealed carry on campuses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Two passed.”

That’s right,  the forces of freedom are fighting hard.

“The University of Colorado set aside a dorm specifically for concealed-carry permit-holders where guns would be allowed. But in 2012, news reports said no students had asked to live there.”

Then perhaps they need to advertise UC in gun magazines and other publications to attract gun owners. With that said, the entire UC campus should be a Second Amendment Zone. Do they have one dorm for the First Amendment and another one for Political Correctness? I don’t think so. Still, I’m not complaining, one pro-gun dorm is better than no pro-gun dorm, so following progressive tactics, let us take an inch now and grab the mile later.

 

Total Recall in Colorado.

The Democrats wanted to turn Colorado purple, well, that good ol’ western State is back to being a nice Republican Red. As Twitchy reported:

“While Second Amendment advocates party in Colorado over their success in defeating two state Senate gun-grabbers, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Mayors Against Illegal Guns group must be stinging from the loss. Not only were they unable to help President Obama propagandize America into passing national gun restrictions earlier this year, but yesterday’s historic recall in Colorado helps put some more nails in the coffin of Nanny Bloomberg’s attempts to destroy our Second Amendment rights. And if he does what recalled Sen. Angela Giron suggested to the New Republic, he will disband his unsuccessful anti-gun group.”

Good idea, Giron, even a stupid gun-grabber like you knows the difference between losing and winning. You have lost, you have been defeated, normally I wouldn’t gloat but you people treat supporters of the Second Amendment like human garbage, so now I’m returning the favor.

Colorado is the State of the cowboy, not the cappuccino-drinking liberal. Do what that carpetbagger Hillary need, go North old woman. You wanted to be Bloomberg’s bitch? Then get close to your pimp. Maybe he needs a new cleaning lady, LOL.
