When Have They Ever Been Concerned with Facts?

Quote of the Day

If Congress passes a national concealed carry mandate, anyone you see could have a gun on them—and the police would be powerless to protect you.

Leaders must stand up for public safety and put a stop to the gun lobby’s dangerous agenda.

Objection! Presumes facts not in evidence.

The police don’t have the power to protect you now either. They only have the power to investigate and potentially arrest people after a crime has been committed.

Objection! Presumes facts not in evidence.

The post presumes private citizens who carry concealed guns are all criminals. The evidence is that people with concealed carry licenses are far less likely to commit a crime than even police officers.

Objection! Presumes facts not in evidence.

Allowing people to carry the most effective self-defense tools available increases public safety. It is only a dangerous agenda for violent criminals.

To be fair, gun control groups have never been concerned with the facts.

  1. Objection: police are already trained to consider that anybody they encounter might be armed.

  2. “Anyone you see” could have a gun on them anyway. Squinch those pearls in a vise.

  3. Ho hum.

    There, I fixed it for them.
    (Before we have too.)
    And speaking of gun control lobby. We see Bondi/Trump admin. is backing the NFA in the suit against it by all the states.
    Here is my question;
    If the government can maintain control of firearms, or a class of firearms through interstate commerce and taxation. To it’s virtual strangulation of such? (No new machine guns.)
    What exactly did the 2nd. AMENDMENT, amend?
    It’s not a grant of a right, it’s a protection of a God given right from government over-reach.
    So what is the 2A actually amending?
    This seems like basic grade school lawyer-think to me.
    And for precedence we can look at the 5A that so many of the guilty use to free themselves. And then going on and committing more crimes. (especially government personal.)
    Yet we accept it because of the abuse by government of the law-abiding.
    So, do you have your 5th.amendment stamp on you? Did you pay your $200.00?
    Did you request/have permission to use it in another state?
    Sorry, you forgot to tell us on the form how it was to be transported. So, we can beat a confession out of you. Then read it in open court and hang you.
    Would we be all right with that?
    I trow not.
    Any lawyer in America could/would argue against such
