Dumbass Reactionary Americans, Stop Giving Away Your Gun Rights Over Sandy Hook Tragedy
Today’s political posturing by the dumbass, reactionary left-wing media and politicians was inevitable. Somewhere in the course of America’s history, there are some slope-browed, Cro-magnon, knuckle-dragging dolts who think that our Constitutional Rights are something to be trampled upon. These are the people who cried foul and swore America was a fascist state at the mere mention of the Patriot Act, but today will march and join Mayor Bloomberg in saying that guns should be outlawed in the nation where everyone has a standard ‘right to bear arms’ if competent.
All of our hearts are broken over the Sandy Hook massacre. May the families of all affected find some sort of comfort in all the love, empathy and compassion we have for them. This is the absolute worst nightmare for any and every parent in this nation. There is no way to absorb the magnitude of this tragedy, the hurt over the loss of life and innocence. The feeling of pain and anguish I have for the students of Sandy Hook I can only compare to the loss I felt during 9/11, weeping for the loss and wondering if my family were among those who died. And they were.
During the course of all this though, we must remember one thing. In the face of adversity, in the face of evil monsters who seek to rule our way of life with terror, we must not relent on our rights. I am a Republican and fought against every abridgement of our rights to ‘protect against terror’. And right now, I am not going to join rank and file with the people who cannot see or understand that giving away our guns, our one protection not only against a tyrannical, fascist state of police, but also, foreign invasion (review history, every nation ‘understands’ the fact that every US home could be armed during a land invasion), because the sheer evil of people like the Sandy Hook shooter or the shooter in the Oregon mall the day before.
America, look around the globe. Guns exist and unarmed populations will always be terrorized. In Israel and Palestine, not everyone has guns, yet massive explosions in markets, physican assault with stones and knives are the norm. In many African nations, the populace is not arm and local militias who do get arms (most usually from governments) commit genocide, rape, intimidation and murder at a whilm, just because their AK-47s have no real match.
In the face of adversity, you would be surprised how far the power of a gun can go. It is easy to not appreciate our right to bear arms, when the nation seems so relatively stable. Ask any person from the Greatest Generation, however, what it means for a nation’s stability to easily fall apart and for a fascist regime to take power. The resistance of various European countries, who fell to Hitler, were more than desperate for guns. In Amercia, during our fight for initial freedom, guns were paramount to victory. Let us not forget that the Civil Wars success teetered on availability of arms.
There is a reason that the Constitution has our right to always and ultimately defend our homes. We must respect that right and treat it as sacred. When there are those who spoil that right with their evil acts, we must find a way to protect society from them, not punish and jeopardize the lives of Americans who follow the law.
It is my firm belief that people should not enter elementary schools until securely passing a metal detector. If we are going to keep our children secure, we cannot assume guns are the only means of them being attacked. People could plant explosive devices in our schools. Someone wielding a knife could commit unknown amounts of terror. What of some ‘parent’ poisoning our children’s lunches. Evil knows no end: if someone wants to commit violence, they can easily do it without guns. Look at the history of the world, outside of America, and you will quickly realize that one point.
Liberal media, especially HuffPost and Mayor Bloomberg, if you cannot realize the need for guns, take your short-sighted, naive politicking nonsense to a third-world African dictatorship with a peace sign on your shirt and flowers of brotherhood in your hand, and see how long it takes you before you have a room full of terrorists holding a knife to you, making a terror video about how you will be tortured unless the US complies with some random demands.
Then realize, that brand of ‘horror’ is always just a few clicks from happening in any nation. America’s best security is the possibility that our population can defend itself. And like hell we should ever give that freedom away. Some facts:
To the people posting the “Last Year 10,728 people died due to guns” graphic.
Last year over 33,000 people died due to cars. Where is that graphic and outrage?
Gun violence doesn’t even make the top 10 causes of death in this country. Yes, the shooting today is a tragedy, but guess what…
1. Murder is already illegal
2. An estimated 2.5 million people use guns in self defense every year
3. Guns can’t kill anyone on their own, but gun control has been responsible for approximately 170 million deaths.
Just a little perspective for the knee jerk emotional reactionaries.

May I just say something about your stupid gun rights. The Bill of Rights Amendment II- Presented upon a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the free people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Sounds like I just made a fool of myself right, WRONG! You see line one says you must be in a militia to own a gun. Unlike the people who wright these articles who think they can just go to a store buy a gun and shoot someones heart out for being gay. But I’ll save you some time by saying what I think. Let’s just instead of shooting bludgeon people until they got knocked out.

“LN seems to have suddenly become a neanderthal NRA apologist.”
No, I’m stating the truth. Taking guns away will not prevent murder by guns. There are going to be people who are going to hold onto their weapons, there are people who are going to learn how to make weapons, and all you’ve done, at best, is delay a killing that would’ve come as a surprise.
“But I think he is just saying sh*t that he doesn’t believe because he hates me and needs to disagree with me.”
No, that’s your schtick, you can’t seem to make up your mind about what kind of ideas you support. You complain about the idea of Jesus existing, and yet the entire foundation of every Christian and every member of Cultwire is bound to that idea being a fact, yet you don’t say ANYTHING to them about it. You complain about Metalcore fan being homophobic, and yet you will ignore posts or even ‘articles’ that state that murdering gay people should be considered a sport. Someone says the word ‘bitch’ and you’ll jump down their throat and derail the entire conversation to calling them sexist, but when a member of Cultwire devotes an ‘article’ to the word as well as another saying that women are inferior to men, you barely bat an eye, and the worst you do is shake your finger at them.

“I would never have guessed that you were a gun nut, LN.”
Since when is owning a handgun or two considered to make someone a ‘gun nut’?
“You are pretty deranged, though, so it figures. Keep on parroting those dishonest NRA talking points.”
It’s just simple thoughts. You can say the rest of the world has lower gun crime, and you’re entirely right, but here’s why it’s different in America. In America, our country came about as a result of using guns. We had the idea that no country should ever fear it’s government, be it by king or president, and thus they should be armed in the event the ruling body ends up favoring only themselves over the populace (yes, the irony is somewhat astounding these days, but back then they didn’t think, or at least hoped, that the world would be like this). Thus, the right to bear arms was established. Paraphrased to hell, yes, but the point still stands. Just about every single major event that helped shaped America to what it is now revolves around guns, for better or worse. From hunting to land development (again, better or worse), Americans have used the gun as a symbol of pride and power for themselves. With the number of types of guns available, we’ve devoted entire forms of media around it, movies, games, music, books and comics. True, there were MANY other things going on in those media, but there’s always a huge involvement of guns in them that it almost seems natural. If there’s one weapon that symbolizes America the best, it’d be a simple handgun, representative of all other guns.
Which is part of the problem. I’m going to shorten this part simply because the first time I typed it up, it was too long. Because guns are so ingrained into our society (again, for better or for worse), many people are not going to give up their guns. If guns become illegal to own, people are going to get as many guns as possible prior to the law becoming a reality and they’re going to hide them. If someone decides they want to shoot up a populated place, they’re going to figure out a way to get a gun to do so. If they want to kill as many people as possible, they’ll use improvised explosives. There have been several people who have said that the reason why some of these killers have come about recently is because it feels like to the insane or evil, that they need to ‘up the ante’ to get their name in the newspaper, to go out in a ‘blaze of glory’, so to speak. Go ahead, ban guns, there’s going to be the psychopath who’s going to rig a building to explode if he can’t get his hands on an AK-47, or what about the nutjob who has twenty handguns? Not as fast or as powerful as assault weapons, but hell if it won’t do the job the f.ucker wants it to do. In America, a country where so much of our history is due to guns, simply getting rid of them is NOT going to work. We’re the odd one out in so many other ways, so it’s not really surprising that gun control isn’t going to be as effective as people hoped. The number of reasons why gun control either won’t work or isn’t the solution are quite vast, and many of those reasons are going to convince lawmakers to not do anything. That and also the possibility of damaging the party who puts it into place’s reputation is another reason why it’s going to take a MASSIVE event to actually cause gun control to come about. This shooting MIGHT do it, considering that there has been talk about it and the shooting occurred at a place full of children where mostly children were killed. Why do I mention the political aspect of it? Because America is just that f.ucking insane and our politicians will almost always care more about their pockets than the good of it’s citizens, and making the citizens smile and vote for them, gives them money (again, tying back to the whole ‘irony about what our forefathers feared).
Now, do you want to know MY opinion in this giant wall of text? I don’t think it’ll work simply because someone is going to still find a way to get a gun and kill people, and unless the goal is to simply reduce the number of causalities, there’s always the possibility they’ll take it a step further and, in the event they can’t find a gun, they’ll simply blow up a place. Analyzing the person and making sure they’re healthy and happy and keeping them away from guns or other weapons, might actually work better, but there are still some flaws to be worked out with THAT idea as well.

Wow. I had no idea that you were such a gun nut. You’re hitting all the NRA talking points there:
* America is different because … GUNZ!!!!
* We need guns because … AMERICA!!!!
* Gun crime is too high so don’t try to fix it, just get more guns!!!!
* You can kill someone with a spoon, therefore just as many innocent bystanders will be killed in drive-by spoonings as in drive-by shootings!!!!
* Semi-automatic weapons actually make smaller massacres because if psychos didn’t have them they would make bombs instead.
* No number of murdered children can ever be as bad as introducing new gun laws.
* Every other country in the Western world is doing it wrong, even though the US does worse than any of them on pretty much every conceivable measure.
