Feelings and Imagination

Quote of the Day

They claim to be gun free zones. Well if we know anything about gun-free zones, looking at Australia and Brown, we know that they are not violence free zones. They are only defenseless zones where victims are left hopeless, without any hope of defending themselves.

NH Republicans push to allow guns on college campuses

The response from the anti-gun people is telling:

State Rep. Nicholas Germana, D-Keene, a history professor at Keene State College, said Thursday he wouldn’t feel any safer if people coming on campus were packing firearms.

Any police response to an active shooter on a college campus would be fraught if armed bystanders became involved and crossfire broke out, he said.

“All the sudden police come on that campus and it’s a shootout at the OK Corral,” Germana said. “How do police know who the good guy is and who the bad guy is?”

Feelings and imagination. It is the best they can do. But it is enough to keep them going until they start getting prosecuted and convicted.

  1. The whole Gun Control debate can be summed up by the Uvalde ‘Incident’.
    To deny the people the ability to defend themselves and then fail to act when called upon-to the point of physically preventing parents from taking action while they, themselves, failed to do so is the biggest reason this policy is an utter failure.

    You must rely on the government to keep you safe. However, this government has no duty nor obligation to do so.

  2. I would respond to Rep. Germana: why are you afraid of your students? Do you really think that, if you flunk your history students, they’re going to shoot you?

    If you want to know how the police can tell a good guy from a bad guy, I suggest that you ask them. They’ll tell you.

    • “You might think that a history professor would…..know history.”

      I DID think that, long ago. I have since learned better.

      In practice, few of them are “professors of history” these days. Today, most of them seem to be “professors of what-it-would-be-politically-convenient-if-history-was”.

  3. Pro-2A amendment people really need to prioritize GFZ issues above all else. This is especially true since anti-2A states and cities have weaponized “sensitive places” in the wake of Bruen. It appears that the Supremes will strike down HI law but that is a narrow niche. The big problem is prioritizing property rights over 2A rights especially in the cases like TX where the government has outsourced the criminal law to big box stores.

  4. What Mr. Germana doesn’t want you to think about is the fact that it already is the OK corral in America.
    Everybody already has guns. And posting a sign on the edge of town doesn’t change any of that.
    And once again the government is trying to disarm everyone. While the real bad guys just do whatever they want.
    But if the good guys were carrying also? Chances are it wouldn’t happen in the first place. And if it did it would be over long before the police ever got there.
    It is generally the case when citizens respond to a bad guy incident.
    But Mr. Germana knows all this already.
    He’s just a communist in desperate need of deportation.
    (We need to take over Cuba and put his kind to chopping cane for the rest of their days.)
