A lot of things about "gun control" really gets under my skin. First of all, There is the full court press of the media trying to brainwash the public. I have seen the same story about states that are "unsafe" because they have no gun control, and that story has been trotted out nearly every day for a couple of weeks now. It shows Wyoming as being the most dangerous state (per capita) and heavily regulated California as being one of the safer states. Actual numbers? Wyoming had 16 murders in 2014. California had 1,699. The gun grabbers even will even spew about the "epidemic of gun violence" even though the numbers have dropped to nearly half the level of such crime in the 1990's. The biggest contributor to the lower violence is the tougher laws aimed at keeping violent criminals in prison longer through mandatory sentencing.
To even make up the talking point of "gun violence" is a slap in the face for every citizen as these people would have you believe that gun violence is in a magical vacuum, and if the gun fairy can wave a wand to remove all guns….30K people would magically not die. People who really wanted to kill would not uses other means? Riiiiiiiiight. The general rule of thumb is that violence of all sorts, increases as criminals know that their victim's ability to fight back has been impaired. Further salt is that gun grabbers refuse to look at WHY the numbers are what they are. About 15k are suicides. " I want to die but I don't have a gun so therefore I choose to live" is said by no one ever. There are plenty of other methods to kill oneself and they all are used. Guns are effective so they are the choice but make no mistake, when people want to die badly enough they will find a way. Is jumping off an overpass really a better way to go? according to the gun grabbers…yes. The next largest number of "gun violence" is from gangs. In fact gangs can account for upwards of 70% of all crime in some places. If one really wants to take a bite out of crime and thus make communities safer, gangs would be the best place to start. Other violent criminals have a high recidivism rate. Why on earth are we letting them out early so they can kill again? Long story short is the lions share of violent crimes are being done by a fraction of the population and the rank and file citizens actually do very little such crimes. Mass shootings? By and large the shooters were certifiable and had a history of being a danger to themselves and others yet all was swept under the rug. How is that working out? In response people like Obama want even more gun control yet they know that the ones causing the problems care little about even more laws. Even more telling is that people in prison or a mental institution can't fill out background checks and buy weapons but anti gun people will hear none of this. Nor do they want to consider actually enforcing the gun control laws currently on the books.
Now lets examine Obama's policies. he has signed off on mexican drug lords to buy weapons (fast and furious), and he is currently arming people in the M.E. even though history proves that the allies today are often the enemies of tomorrow. Kind of makes you wonder who else he is arming, yet at the same time he is working overtime to disarm the law abiding citizens of the U.S. It is rather clear that as with much of politics, the title to get people to transfix on, ie, "gun violence" is not the agenda after all. Just smoke and mirrors for what they are really after. The gun grabbers are after the pot of god lat the end of the rainbow but they know that cant happen until America is disarmed.
