The Mindset Behind Gun Control

I was visiting Sebastian's place the other day and noticed the following in the comments of this post.

Sebastian writes:

Gun control advocates are skeptical such a gun owner exists, since it is well known your average person is incapable of acting with such restraint when in the presence of firearms.

To which Gun Control Advocate mikeb302000 comments:

we don’t think anything of the kind. We realize that the majority of you gun owners are responsible. We’re always talking about the smaller percentage who are not, about whom something should be done.

Now, when I read that, I thought: "Huh. Whadda ya know. Could it be he's saying something right for a change? Could it be he's acquired some sense?"

Not really.

Because three comments later, mikeb302000 says:

The "good ones" are in the majority. And being good citizens they wouldn’t mind being inconvenienced for the Greater Good.

And further down, we really see where he's going with this:

That doesn’t mean I think every one of you is irresponsible and dangerous. No. You’re just partly responsible for the gun violence that is made possible by the policies you support.

And there you have it, folks.

This is what they really think of us.

This is the mindset that fuels the Gun Control Crowd.

It's not about preventing gun violence. It's not about protecting the children or the safety of society.

No. It's because they equate us with criminals.

Wisconsin Gunman Defeated By Gun Free Zone...Not

Following this story, I'm sure we'll soon hear commentary from the Gun Control Crowd on how this could've been avoided by more stringent gun laws.

What we probably won't hear from them is the fact that this 15-year-old brought two guns into a Gun Free Zone.

But how can that be? Aren't Gun Free Zones supposed to magically prevent such things?

Well, Gun Control Folks? Got an answer to that?

This Can't Happen in California

Two members of a Sacramento family--one of them a 10-year-old boy--were shot by two men at a Sacramento shopping center on Friday the 26th of November.

But that can't happen here in California. See, we learned from the Brady Bunch that California rates the highest in their state scorecards for having the toughest gun laws EVAH.

So that news story is probably a lie.

Right, Brady Campaign?

Anti-Gunners Are Childish

Contra Costa Open Carry and the Responsible Citizens of California held a meet up this past Saturday at a local burger place in Pleasant Hill, CA. Members of the local Brady Bunch came to protest.

The Brady Bunch had about 10 or so folks.

The open carry folks had at least three times that number.

The one thing that stood out in my mind about that meet up was this incident: A gentleman came in carrying a sign that read: "Gun control is for cowards and fools." He went to stand with the Brady Bunch. One of the Brady folks then tried to cover up his sign with one they had brought. Our guy moved down the row to get away from her. She followed and tried to cover up his sign yet again. He moved again. She followed again. Finally, since he topped her by at least several inches, he simply held the sign over her head where she couldn't cover it.

I thought to myself: "Brady Bunch lady, are you serious? You're trying to cover his sign? What, are you five years old?"

And here's a choice quote on this weekend's meet up:

"They say that they are law abiding citizens but there's no way of knowing that. There's no accountability for this group," said Karen Arntzen of the California Brady Campaign.

I believe she just called all open carry practitioners "criminals".
