Common sense gun regulations are not about taking guns away from everyone
NRA and supporters say common sense gun regulations are the government attempting to take guns away from law abiding citizens.
Bull Shit - it is an evil attempt to confuse logical arguments for gun control. Those who confuse the discussion with lies all have blood on their hands.
We already have laws on the books regarding felons owning guns. Although gun ownership is a right, some are forced to give up that right when they commit a crime or suffer from mental illness. Of course, leftists want those mass murderers to be able to vote. And they'll vote Dem, interestingly enough. Right now, police can take guns away if they feel a person poses a threat to themselves or others.
Leftists have admitted that they want to ban guns for average people. Hillary admitted that she doesn't believe the second amendment gives people a right to own guns.
In Venezuela, Chavez banned guns, claiming it would make the country safer. All of his arguments sounded exactly like what the leftist radicals in the Dem party are saying today. It's total bullshit.
Even a liberal admitted recently that the people in Venezuela cannot fight against the evil regime because only the state has guns. Innocent people are getting run over by cops for protesting.
Dictators always seek to disarm the people so they can never fight back against tyranny.
Yes, the left hates guns and continues to look for more reasons to separate people from their right to own one. Despite the fact that the vast majority of legal gun owners do not pose a threat to anyone (other than a dictator), the left still thinks we have no need for them. Trust the police, they say, even as some don't want cops to carry guns.
Criminals will always ignore all laws. Of course, in dictatorships, the police literally go door to door and search people's home to confiscate any weapons they have. If anyone in Venezuela had kept a weapon, they would face 20 years in prison if caught.
It has always ended in disaster when government came for people's guns. They never stop at reasonable laws. They keep going until they take them all away. So, we should not trust the left when they want even more laws. How about enforcing the ones on the books? Or allowing people to conceal carry so they can stop a potential mass shooter? After all, criminals conceal carry every day. Of course, laws are meaningless to those who seek to harm, which is why more laws will only affect the innocent.
“You have to understand, in Venezuela gun ownership is not something that’s open to everybody. So if the military have the guns, they have the power and as long as Nicolás Maduro controls the military, he controls the country.”
Guaidó, who declared himself interim president in January after claims the socialist government stole last year’s election, has tried to get the military to turn with his latest call to take to the streets.
However, as Sanders pointed out, few have heeded the call. And why should they? The people who want to depose the government
don’t have firearms, whereas those who are in power do.
According to
The Daily Caller, a 2012 gun ban made it almost impossible for citizens to own firearms.
“Under the June 2012 law, only the military, police forces, and some security contractors could purchase firearms from a state-owned weapons manufacturer,” The Daily Caller reported Tuesday. “Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan leader at the time, claimed the law would curb the country’s high rate of violent crime and said the ultimate goal was to disarm all private citizens.
“In 2013, just 37 weapons were handed over voluntarily. More than 12,500 were confiscated by force.”
The article quoted from an exiled Venezuelan’s interview in December.
“Guns would have served as a vital pillar to remaining a free people, or at least able to put up a fight,” Javier Vanegas, a Venezuelan living in Ecuador, told
Fox News then.
“The government security forces, at the beginning of this debacle, knew they had no real opposition to their force. Once things were this bad, it was a clear declaration of war against an unarmed population.”
It’s a no-win situation.
The penalty for disobeying the ban is 20 years in prison.
This is what conservatives have said about the right to bear arms all along, be it
in Venezuela or here in the United States.
Home-invading criminals and tyrants alike respect little except force, force best delivered (whether you like it or not) from the muzzle of a gun.
The right has long since understood that those with arms will always victimize those without arms, particularly in the context of a failed state like Venezuela
Now, even MSNBC’s reporters also understand this salient fact — even if it might be in the limited context of Venezuela.
Perhaps that object lesson could open their eyes to a wider principle at play here.
But I wouldn’t hold my breath."
