Americans: Don’t give up your guns

Predictably, there has been a round of attempts to ride the wave of the sensational event in Orlando to push forward the ongoing project to wrest guns from the hands of American citizens.
The latest manifestation of this tedious program featured Democrats staging a sit-in in a rather silly parody of the human rights protests of the sixties.

The irony was obvious: a coterie of privileged millionaires protected from the unwashed masses whom they manipulate for their billionaire and trillionaire masters protected by men with guns while protesting that guns are bad.

The idea that the liberals assume – and wish you to assume – is that those who are in favor of gun control hold a monopoly on compassion. Obama’s speechwriters have him cry crocodile tears during his move against gun ownership, yet he – like the aged and overweight rebels in the sit-in protest – is surrounded 24/7 by men with guns.

He is not against guns. He is just against them for you.

And this is the crux of the fallacy upon which the liberal claim to moral superiority is based. Those who say they are against guns are not against against guns per se. Guns exist; they are not going away. But their policies would take guns away from the American public and concentrate them in the hands of the US government and criminals – two groups which become increasingly indistinguishable the more helpless and defenseless the broader population grows.

Liberal arguments against guns

Liberals trot out gushy, emotionally-driven arguments against the right of the population to bear arms – arguments which are thinly disguised ruses designed to leave the population defenseless.

People get killed with guns – so the argument goes – so guns must be banned. Around 33,000 people are killed in car accidents in the US every year. That’s around three times the homicide rate with guns. I don’t hear cries for cars to be banned because cars kill people.

Cars don’t kill people. People kill people. And there is an obvious logical conclusion here pertaining to guns which the liberal assiduously misses.
