A study by Pew Research showed that the only gun crimes on the rise over the last two decades have been mass shootings in gun-free zones or so-called “soft targets.”
I want to cover this aspect of confiscating guns that is never examined in all of the talk about gun controls:
Now is not the time for Americans to cower in fear, be intimidated by liberal ideology, or apologize for one of America’s longest standing constitutional rights – the right to bear arms – say a growing chorus of religious, law enforcement and political leaders.
Americans never cowered in fear; so how did that image become prevalent? The answer is easy. Hollywood movies. Most notably the final scene in High Noon where the sheriff throws his badge in the dust and rides out of town because the townspeople were all cowards.
Americans in the old West were not cowards then, nor are they cowards today. Yet Hollywood portrays Americans as cowards even though they have always been armed. In fact, sheriffs had no trouble rounding up posses to help them go after the criminals. See this thread for a bit about posse comitatus:

More often than not, Hollywood turned the townspeople into lynch mobs —— after the sheriff caught the outlaw. Indeed, average Americans were depicted as brutal mobs hanging innocent men. The Oxbow Incident is the most famous piece of Hollywood crap in the lynch genre. Notice that 78 years after the Civil War ended, and 72 years before the Confederate Flag came down, Hollywood put a Confederate uniform on the villain in this 1943 movie:
There is not one Hollywood movie that I know of where the plot dealt with the reason for the Second Amendment; a screenplay where guns defended against the federal government. Turning the constitutional reason for guns into a defense against criminals was the message Hollywood Communists put out —— with great success I might add.
On the other hand, there were hundreds of propaganda movies depicting average folks as helpless victims relying on the police to defend them. The truth today, as it was in the old West, is that sheriffs very often need assistance from armed Americans as Hohmann’s piece shows:

One fact about guns, more than any other, is that Democrats will never allow armed Americans to assist local police against criminals or against enemy invaders.
Bottom line: Using a gun to defend yourself against an attacker could land you in jail. Using a gun to assist the police is more punishable in the eyes of the gun-grabbers. Worse still, the federal government will not use the military to defend this country irrespective of the where the threat originates. An invasion coming through our southern border, and United Nations refugees are two examples of how, and why, the federal government will not defend this country.
Finally, the federal government has no objection to killing innocent children as in the Branch Davidian Massacre, but they will never lift a finger against Islam’s method of warfare.
