Think Gun Control Works-Think Again

Taking away guns has always been about the children…

2019-34,000 killed by guns in Mexico; most Dem Ruined cities like Chicago, Baltimore, St Louis, have STRICT anti-gun laws BUT have huge murder rates.  Ironically, the 2^nd Amendment was created to protect citizens against government

That's what they want you to believe.

Looking at the faces of the children taken from us, it's emotionally easy to agree with them. After all, who can understand such a heinous act as taking a rifle, shooting through a locked school door and gunning down three nine-year-olds?

But Joe Biden, the folks at the Brady Center, Michal Bloomberg, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama and all those in favor of banning guns are all statist totalitarians. They're playing on emotions — the emotions of a grieving populace — to advance their agenda.

They don't care about children. They're disingenuous.

How do I know?

If they cared about children, they'd be weeping over the thousands of children that America has killed with drone strikes and air raids in Pakistan, Libya, Syria and Africa. If they cared about children, there would not have been 232 synthetic chemicals found in umbilical cord blood samples from babies. If they cared about children, they wouldn't be doing everything they can to wrench children away from their fathers and the authority of their parents "for their health" and put them under the aegis of the state at every opportunity.

If the Left wants to 'protect' kids-WHY do they want unlimited abortion?

Taking away our ability to protect ourselves began under the altruistic sounding words "gun control." Now it's "the children." As always in such chicanery, these words are totally misleading. But they have worked their charm on lukewarm church-going Americans.

Facts

The anti-gun crowd continually try to foist all kinds of specious "research" on us, stating that guns "are the number one killer of children" (false — tragically, automobile fatalities are the worst killer of children) and guns in the home are supremely dangerous.

Anti-gun zealots then use their adjuncts in the lamestream media to insist that there are often "mass shootings" in the U.S.

The truth is that despite the shooting in Tennessee recently, these incidents are mostly either murders (again, tragic, but not "mass shootings"), gang-related shootings, or arguments in public places gone wrong.

The Nashville trans woman who killed three children sent Instagram messages to her friend, saying something bad was going to happen, and that she wanted to die and was going to die that day. It was not a random act of mass violence. It was murder and the all-too-common "suicide by cop."

Actual statistics on gun deaths in America are hard to pin down because there is no central source or common methodology for tracking them. Also, the numbers published by various sources sometimes tend to be skewed (or outright manipulated) to reflect the point of view of the source regarding guns.

For example, take the false claim that guns are the #1 killer of children. It is based on the flawed analysis of only two years of data by the CDC… two years in which people were locked down, and we saw massive decreases in other forms of injury, such as car wrecks, because people were not going about their lives as normal. We also saw increases in suicides and drug overdoses.

The reported data is intended to have you believe that thousands of children are murdered with guns, and more die that way than any other way. The reporting is then used to give the impression that elementary school-aged children are at great risk of being shot to death when the reality is that the risk is relatively low.

The truth is that the CDC "data" do not support the anti-gun conclusions because they were cherry-picked to include 18 and 19-year-olds (not children), and suicides (30 percent were suicides, not murders or "mass shootings"). As I mentioned, automobile deaths are the worst killer of children.

This is only one incidence of statistical evidence that shows us why it is critical that we know the real facts and stand at the ready to set the record straight in any discussions we are party to where the misinformation and disinformation gushing from liberal politicians and media wonks takes center stage.

Gun hysteria

Despite any evidence contrary to their beliefs, the anti-gun crowd wants you to believe "mass" shootings are committed because guns are available, and because of the weapon used. Anti-gunners desperately want you to think that there aren't enough gun laws and that we need more bans on more weapons because "weapons of war" are being used to kill masses of people.

Every news report details how the transgender shooter had an "assault-like" gun, a "weapon of war" or some other scary euphemism.

President Biden and his gun-grabbing followers call every weapon that isn't a handgun an "assault" weapon. But a Bushmaster XM-15 and an AR-15 aren't assault weapons, and not weapons of war. They aren't even automatic. They are rifles, tragically used for a terrible purpose, but not because they're rifles. The murders occurred because the perpetrators are almost always mentally ill or tormented in some way.

The Nashville shooter, for example, could have been on some sort of testosterone therapy… and was almost certainly doing what she did because of the recent Tennessee law prohibiting the transitioning of adolescents from one sex to another. In other words, the shooter may have been addled by the hormone drugs that she and her fellow activists advocate using on children, whom she murdered. What a world.

The media piles on by managing the message to create the illusion that what "the people" want is more gun bans.

'Need' for guns

It is critical to remember that the 2nd Amendment was not included in the Bill of Rights to only ensure Americans could defend themselves against criminals, so the argument that we "don't need" guns is a non sequitur.

There will be a renewed push by the Left to create more anti-gun laws that will also not stop these random and infrequent mass shootings. For the gun-grabbers, if one law is in place to prevent a thing and the thing occurs anyway, two more, three more, six more will certainly do the trick. Murder itself is illegal, but let's not talk about that.

This is the way liberty is lost, one law at a time. And then, one day, a once-free nation finds itself in bondage. When the state has "a monopoly on legitimate violence," as Congressweasel Jerrold Nadler of New York once claimed it does, Americans are no longer citizens; they are subjects.

Americans will not become subjects. With hundreds of millions of guns in American homes, a gun-free future is not going to happen; if it is forced, a bloody and unwarranted fight is likely in the cards.

Still, we supporters of 2nd Amendment rights must not, under any circumstances, let our guard down. We must remain vigilant to repel the attempts by Biden and his horde to take away the right to self-defense in our own homes, on our property, and on our persons, or, barring that, to take away our ammunition to render guns useless. Also:

• You can become a member of a pro-gun organization like Gun Rights for America. What about the NRA? The NRA has capitulated on almost every gun law passed in this country.
• Learn about NY Rifle and Pistol vs. Bruen and your right to bear arms.
• Monitor lawmaker activities, not only in Congress but at your state and local levels as well. Attend the town hall meetings and speak up.
• Buy a gun, get trained in its use and practice, practice, practice. Have a spare magazine handy. Don't be a helpless victim.
• Check out the list of gun laws, alphabetically by state so that you know everything you need for purchase.
• Support candidates who vow to stand up for gun rights.
• Participate in social media discussions on gun control in rational terms with proof from crime statistics databases like the FBI's (Read the reports and you'll see that gun violence is going down, not up).

In years gone by that many people reloaded spent ammunition. This would be a great opportunity for you if you would like to learn a secondary trade for a post-collapse society, or if the gun-grabbers succeed in making ammunition difficult to buy.

Make no mistake about it: the ultimate goal of the gun control gang is not to limit gun ownership to law-abiding citizens but to eliminate the presence of guns in citizens' hands entirely.

->The 2^nd Amendment was never about hunting-it was intended to protect citizens from the government!  Police departments are being held back from doing their jobs to avoid confrontation, leaving the streets to those who are inciting the riots and destroying their cities.

It has become increasingly clear that those who are initiating those riots are not peaceful demonstrators, exercising their First Amendment rights. Rather, a number of mayors, governors and police chiefs have come forth, stating that they have clear evidence that the riots have been started by imported muscle, not by local demonstrators.

What to Do When There’s No Dentist

Did you know a tooth infection can trigger a heart attack?

 

Or that, before modern dentistry, there were “barber surgeons...

 

…whose job — without anesthetic, was to yank out your teeth. And try to reduce blood loss.

 

(Even if they had to crush teeth before extracting them).

 

A sad reality we could see again when SHTF.

 

If not for these simple steps...
