You Won’t Believe The Crazy Things That Are Being Said
About Gun Owners
http://albertpeia.com/crazythingssaidofgunowners.htm
‘Whenever there is a great crisis or a great tragedy in the United
States, the collectivists immediately try to use it for their own political
advantage. As Rahm Emanuel once said, "you never want a serious
crisis to go to waste". So it should be no surprise that liberals
are doing their best to exploit the horrible tragedy that just happened at
Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. 20 small children
and 6 adults were savagely murdered, and instead of appropriately mourning this
great loss, liberals are in a feeding frenzy and are falling all over one
another as they rush to exploit this horrible tragedy for political gain.
Some of the most horrible things that you can imagine are being said about gun
owners and about the NRA. They are being called murderers, terrorists and
"the new KKK". Some are even suggesting that they should be
shot or rounded up and put into camps. It is absolutely disgusting to
watch what is going on, and the mainstream media is just eating all of this
up. The mainstream media loves any story that they can use to demonize
those that are opposed to the collectivist agenda.
Fortunately, the rampant demonization of gun owners is only having a
limited impact on the poll numbers. One new survey taken after the
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School has found that 71
percent of all Americans are against banning handguns entirely. So
hopefully we won't see our politicians try to ban all gun ownership any time
soon.
But they are definitely going to come after "assault weapons"
early next year. Some members of Congress have already indicated that
they plan to introduce new gun control legislation in January.
Meanwhile, we can expect the demonization of gun owners and the NRA to
continue. The following are a few of the crazy things that have been said
by gun grabbers in recent days...
-A
statement by progressive grassroots group CREDO...
"After the shooter Adam
Lanza, no one is more to blame for the massacre of 20 first graders and six
women at the Sandy Hook Elementary School than the National Rifle
Association"
-Democratic
New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler...
"We have a lobby, the
leadership of the NRA, who function as enablers of mass murder. And that's what
they are. They're enablers of mass murder"
-Fox
Sports columnist Jason Whitlock...
"You know, I did not go
as far as I’d like to go because my thoughts on the NRA and America’s gun
culture – I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many
black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having
an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously don’t have our
best interests [at heart]."
-David
Brooks on PBS Newshour...
"And then I guess my
final point would be, I think if we're going to control guns, we really have to
do it massive.
I think I'm all for getting
rid of the assault weapons and machine guns and all that tough, but if we want
to prevent something like this, we have to really think seriously about
drastically reducing the number of guns in our society, and particularly --
this is an old Patrick Daniel Moynihan idea -- the number of bullets. It is
very hard to control 300 million guns. The bullets are a little easier to
control."
-Salon
columnist David Sirota on MSNBC...
"The issue with it will
be, politically, I think; the profile is white men. That’s a profile that’s
not, essentially, in America allowed to be profiled. That’s the one profile in
America that’s not allowed to be profiled."
"...it's the confiscation
of these types of weapons that counts and will have an impact."
The things that people are
saying on Twitter are even worse...
-Sam
Tarling: "All NRA members should be shot!!!! I thank you, that's one
of my own!!"
-@fullofbalogna:
"The NRA & gun manufacturers are terrorist organizations. We need to
eliminate them. Why do RWers support terrorists & murder of kids?"
-Ryan:
"The NRA is nothing more than an enabler of mass murder, a terrible
organisation that has children's blood on their hands. Wake up USA."
-John
Cobarruvias: "Can we now shoot the #NRA and everyone who defends
them?"
-Stacy
Fernandes: "all NRA members need to be rounded up and put in camps
where they cant hurt anyone else"
But it is not just gun owners
that are being demonized by the mainstream media. Over the past couple of
days there has also been an attempt to portray the mother of Adam Lanza as a
deluded prepper that had been preparing "for the end of the
world". The following quotes from mainstream sources come from a
recent article by
Daisy Luther...
Nancy was a member of the Doomsday
Preppers movement, which believes people should prepare for end of the world. (Riehl
World View)
According to reports, Nancy Lanza
was a so-called ‘prepper’, a part of the survivalist movement which urges
individuals to prepare for the breakdown of society by training with weapons
and hoarding food and other supplies. ( The
UK Independent)
Reports are starting to emerge of
the troubled young man and his unusual upbringing. (Yahoo)
Dan Holmes, owner of a landscaping
firm who worked on the family’s home, said she was an avid gun collector: ‘She
told me she would go target shooting with her kids.’ (UK
Daily Mail)
Marsha Lanza described Nancy as
‘self-reliant’.( The
UK Independent)
He was reportedly homeschooled by
his mother, a school principal and gun enthusiast, who wasn’t satisfied with
the education her son was receiving.. (Yahoo)
As America searches for answers,
investigators are turning towards Nancy Lanza’s supposed identification as a
survivalist. (Yahoo)
Her former sister-in-law Marsha
said she had turned her home ‘into a fortress’. (UK
Daily Mail)
Mother of Sandy Hook school gunman
Adam Lanza was a ‘prepper’ survivalist preparing for economic and social
collapse, say reports. ( The
UK Independent)
Mrs Lanza is thought to have
trained her sons, Adam and Ryan to shoot, even taking them to local
ranges. ( The
UK Independent)
‘Nancy had a survivalist philosophy
which is why she was stockpiling guns. She had them for defense. She was
stockpiling food. She grew up on a farm in New Hampshire. She was skilled with
guns. We talked about preppers and preparing for the economy
collapsing.’ (UK
Daily Mail)
Before this crisis I wrote an
article entitled "Why
Are Preppers Hated So Much?", and in that article I detailed how
preppers and survivalists are increasingly being demonized by the media.
Well, now it is getting a whole
lot worse.
As I wrote about the other day, political correctness has taken
over America, and the mainstream media is systematically demonizing any group
that will not go along with the program.
That includes gun owners.
Sadly, the truth is that if just
one teacher or one principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School had been armed, a
whole lot of lives could have been saved. There have been numerous
examples of mass shootings that have been stopped by private citizens with
guns. University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds
discussed a couple of these in a recent piece for USA
Today...
If there's someone present
with a gun when a mass shooting begins, the shooter is likely to be shot
himself. And, in fact, many mass shootings — from the high school shooting by
Luke Woodham in Pearl,
Miss., to the New Life Church shooting in Colorado Springs, Colo., where an
armed
volunteer shot the attacker — have been terminated when someone retrieved a
gun from a car or elsewhere and confronted the shooter.
And time after time we have seen
crime
go down when gun laws are relaxed. Criminals are much less likely to
try something when they know that their targets are likely to be armed.
Here are some more statistics
about guns and crime from
foxandhoundsdaily.com...
* Guns are used 2.5 million
times annually or 6,860 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are
used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than
they are to take lives.
* Less than 8 percent of the
time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.
* 200,000 women use a gun
every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse
* Citizens shoot and kill at
least twice as many criminals as police do every year.
* Only 2 percent of civilian
shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The
‘error rate’ for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as
high.
Sadly, the collectivists seem
absolutely determined to use the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School to
unleash a new era of strict gun control laws.
So if you wanted to get a gun to
protect your home and your family, you might want to do it now. The witch
hunt has begun, and it will soon become much more difficult to exercise your
2nd Amendment rights.
