Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) previewed gun control during recent days and makes clear he thinks there is “a lot of work to do to make this country a safer place.”

'More than 100 Americans die every day from gun violence. This #GVSurvivorsWeek, we recognize survivors of gun violence & remember all those we have lost. We have a lot of work to do to make this country a safer place. I will do all I can to reduce deadly shootings & save lives.'

Joe Biden signed an EO that put thousands of people out of work. He then promised to 'do right by them' by getting them other jobs. One of the newly unemployed workers then made one of the most undeniable truths ever spoken:

'The government does not CREATE jobs. As just demonstrated, they DESTROY jobs.'


This is one of several universal, undeniable truths. Another one is:

'The govt does not CREATE revenue. Every dime the govt has / spends is SEIZED from citizens through taxes, fines, etc...'


Another that applies to Durbin's belief that 'Democrats have a lot of work to do to make this country a safer place' is THIS:


'The government does NOT make anyone safer - it makes people LESS safe.'

'Defund the Police'
Chicago
Portland
Seattle
The McCloskeys
and the list goes on and on and on....

Supporting, facilitating, and encouraging continued foreign-funded domestic terrorism, opening our borders wide open to COVID-19-infected/mules/rapists, letting extremely violent/murdering convicts out of prison, and allowing lawlessness and violent crime go un-checked in our cities while attempting to strip Americans of Constitutional Right to protect themselves and their families is NOT 'making people safer'.




The Honorable Senator is RIGHT that there remains a lot of work to make this strange nation safer.

But he is WRONG when he says that it's a matter of gun control.

In fact, it's a matter of better people.

And that just ain't going to happen.
Blaming inanimate objects for crime is like blaming others for ones own poor decisions.
 
Why we need gun control.

Why we need more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens.


Fact Sheet: Guns Save Lives | GOA

A. Guns save more lives than they take; prevent more injuries than they inflict
* Guns used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year — or about 6,850 times a day. [1] This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. [2]

* Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.[3]

* As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse.[4]
 
Those guns sure didn’t help us with the pandemic. I don’t expect any change soon, but the need is obvious. Law enforcement is shot and killed weekly, doesn’t happen in countries with strong gun control.


Mexico has exceptionally strong gun control, you know.

In any event, the People of America are already well-armed. Disarming millions of us is a fool's errand.

Even in America where guns are outlawed, people still buy them from independent gun dealers.

You have no idea how easy it will be.
Registered weapons will be confiscated....but not all weapons will be legally obtained by the government.

Our neighbors will rat us out and turn us into the authorities.....they will show up at our door and demand we turn over our guns.
Some of us will start shooting.....and we will kill and be killed.
But this is just another way for Democrats to get rid of us.
We're just racist Trump Supporters anyway.

My guess is that we will have many tragic boating accidents in the Gulf of Mexico...

Either that, or a big shoot-out.

Either way. :dunno:
