The above site linked to a great article from the Kentucky Coalition to Carry Concealed called “40 Reasons For Gun Control.” This was in turn excerpted from an article by Michael Z. Williamson, called "It's amazing what one has to believe to believe in gun control," which unfortunately seems to have been deleted.
One of the most difficult things about arguing for gun ownership in modern times is the incredible naivety of many of the supporters of gun control fostered by those who seriously promote this idea. The core promoters are those who seem to believe that the state should be the sole armed entity in the nation and push the concept that we will all be safer if the police and military are the only armed people.
This item lists a few of the more incredibly stupid ideas one has to subscribe to in order to support the whole concept of gun control: -
Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are "just statistics."
We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.The whole article is here.
The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.
An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you.
A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.
The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about guns; just like Guns & Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery.
Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.
Guns cause violence, which is why there are so many mass killings at gun shows.
Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by because they can be trusted.
"Assault weapons" have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of people. The police need assault weapons. You do not.
Trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their duty weapon.
I would have posted that as a "Daily duh!"
ReplyDeleteI thought you would only be gone for a week not nearly three.
It is a 'duh' as you put it, but it is amazing how many people don' see the inconsistencies in the arguments.
ReplyDeleteActually I am supposed to do 10 days on 10 off FIFO but as I am pretty much responsible for getting the drill program up and running I have to be a bit flexible about that.
I am spending most of the break recruiting drillers and organizing gear we are going to need. Things should settle down after a while.
Only a total nit-wit beleives gun control will stop crime and save lives

ReplyDeleteThere's a heated discussion going on right now on my community website over gun control. Here's what one woman posted.
ReplyDeleteDrills don't make holes, people make holes.
Matches don't start fires, people start fires.
Pencils don't draw lines, artists draw lines.
