There are a number of subjects on which people are zealots, and, as you know, the subject of guns is one of them.
Now, it doesn’t take long to figure out that, like zealots on many other subjects, the folks who are fanatical about gun control, about taking away our Second Amendment rights, have little to no experience with or understanding of guns.
They are operating out of ignorance.
But the fact of the matter is that what you don’t know can hurt, can, in fact, get you (or someone else) killed. Because when you act out of ignorance, you take actions that may have consequences that you are too ignorant to know are coming down the pike.
And you have to wonder if the legislators in one state, because they are acting out of their (intentional?) ignorance, are trying to get their constituents killed. Michael Clements writes,
The Massachusetts legislature is closer to bulking up the state’s already stringent gun laws by passing S.2572, the act to “Sensibly Address Firearms Violence Through Effective Reform,” the SAFER Act. This bill contains most of the gun control movement’s top priorities.
Members of the state Senate’s Republican minority say they agree with most of the SAFER Act, but expressed concern that there were no public hearings on the proposed legislation before Thursday’s debate.
The Senate approved the bill on a vote of 37 to 3.
Now, just a side note: If the state’s Republicans legislators agree with this nonsense, they need to be labeled the RINOs that they are and thrown out of the party.
Clements continues:
During the debate, Sen. James Eldridge (D-Middlesex/Worcester) defended the bill as “well-balanced gun safety legislation.” He said that too many people view the Second Amendment as an absolute right. Mr. Eldridge talked of touring an old mill in Littleton, Massachusetts.
Now, in case it isn’t clear, what Eldridge is saying is exactly what Democrats, in general, and their lapdogs in the legacy mainstream media keep saying as they work to make you and I defenseless from criminals and from government overreach. The people of Massachusetts and Democrat voters across the U.S. need to wake up and smell the coffee about how dangerous that thinking is.
Because a government that wants to disarm the people is a government that doesn’t want to serve the people. They want the people to serve them.
YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT.
Seems pretty poineint that one of the States that was the most active at the beginning of the founding of this Nation, has now become what it is and will be ! As it is written in the post at the end of the article, Criminals and Gov, someone explain to me the difference between those 2. There are so many of these articles being posted about how the 2nd is an absolute right or not. How about when and where it was written over 2000 yrs ago by Luke recording what Jesus was telling his disciples @ 22:38 to arm themselves against the oppression that would come upon them very soon? What about where it is written, the right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness? It’s all so inter related that I fail to understand how any of this can be disconnected and seperated and this or that can be construed to NOT be an ABSOLUTE Right !
Finally someone else has read and understood the Bible, New Testament where Christ’s own disciples were armed with the weapons of the day. Failure to protect ones self is a form of suicide but non-military doesn’t understand that either. Those politicians and civilians who blame the firearms for crime are either Commie wannabe dictators or total idiots. One of the individuals who was just convicted and jailed for manslaughter is what is wrong with the criminal element suing forearms or any other weapon. Parents and LEOs and Judges who fail to restrict those with murderous intent are the problem, no matter what their age
Thats right the democrats are worthless and lazy just like the Chinese government they all think that the people owe them everything but all the democrats do is cause the problems in this country we the people don’t owe them shit the communist dems just want our money that pays for our safety to keep other countries form invading this country and to keep our country in working order but they just want to put that money in there pockets
As a conservative, I’ve always tried to keep my ears open to opposing opinions, but no more. The left isn’t willing to listen to “any” view that isn’t their very own, much less attempt a compromise. The friendly home invasion robbers simply will never agree to leave their guns at home, and I refuse to invite them in!!!
Unfortunately, the bulk of Republican politicians nowadays are cowards and will not defend our rights. Time to remove all the RINO’s who continually vote with democrats, and put people in place that will stand up for our rights!
What part of “Shall not be Infringed” don’t these Idiot Marxist demorats and Spineless yellow striped republicans not understand! We have a Constitution in America lets start demanding these traitorous scumbags in our government start obeying It!
No compromise. The facts are the facts. Where gun laws favor The People being armed, crime is lower. No debate. To pretend the people who are pushing for gun control are just not informed is ludicrous. Anyone who champions Gun Control isn’t trying to diminish criminal behavior. Anyone who supports it is Unteachable and Unreasonable.
Maybe they should Follow the Science.
Get rid of our guns, YAH RIGHT… What are we going to do if China, North Korea, Russia, plus others who do not like the USA….want to walk in here and take over…BS… Not without a fight… That’s the reason we’ve never been invaded, because of our citizens, our veterans all have weapons… We are not afraid of defending ourselves and our property…and Defending the Law of the Land, “Our CONSTITUTION”
