Quote of the day—gwaz17

This shooting is more evidence that NO ONE is safe from gun violence. Let’s all recognize that and get guns out of our society. The sense of security advocated by people in favor of gun rights is false and not real protection. Gun pushers like the NRA should be treated like the pariahs on society that they are. They’re conducting a war on the American people. Let’s take away the arms.

Repeal the 2nd Amendment. The time to talk about it has passed. The time to do it is now.

Comment to Preventing Future Mass Shootings Like Las Vegas
[People like this aren’t telling you something:

This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed.

U.S. Supreme Court
U S v Cruikshank
92 U.S. 542 (1875)

But almost as important is for freedom loving people to make sure that no one gets away with telling you that no one wants to take your guns.—Joe]

  1. It’s funny how they are silent when a nutjob or Jihadi runs people over in a car or truck. They are silent when a nutjob or Jihadi use off-the-shelf supplies to make explosives. Or firebombs. Or knives.

    They are very selective in their outrage, much like they are selective in whom they protest for misogyny, racism, etc. Almost as if they were pushing an agenda.

    • They aren’t silent at all! They use those events as an excuse to call for more gun control as well. Witness the college student that stabbed his roommate, ran over people with his car, and then shot someone. What was the outcry? Guns, of course.

  2. I anxiously await the day when gwaz17 or someone like it boldly announces that it will leading a door-kicking team.

    “We are beyond the stage of restrictive licensing and uniform laws.

  4. “This shooting is more evidence that NO ONE is safe from gun violence.”

    Du-oh. No one ever promised us an utterly safe society. I hate the canard that my firearms mysteriously interfere with the safety of others. It is quite the opposite.

    Criminals will still operate with or without firearms and will still kill people, so there is no automatic safety if they are removed. In this hypothetical , citizens are LESS safe because criminal encounters involve force disparities of size, aggression, skill, other weapons, numbers, etc.

    They really must be using illicit drugs if they think they can 1) get us to turn in our weapons without the Second American Civil War, and 2) that criminals, terrorists, and the government (but I repeat myself) will remain firearms free and benign.

    Molon Labe, gwaz17. Come on over to my house and try to take them.

    • They aren’t out to take guns from law-abiding citizens, they’re out to take away the law-abidingness from gun owners. THEN they take the guns from the newly-minted criminal.
      They’ll retain the fig leaf of the legality of a show trial, too.

      • Yes, that is the new tactic. Make owning a firearm so legally perilous, expensive, and expand the list of prohibited persons to include anyone who ever jay-walked and thus you deny ever greater percentages of citizens from ownership.
