One fears what they don't understand..

So of course the idea of armed law abiding citizens strike fear into the law breaking politicians - because they have no morals, no honor and not a lot of intelligence?

I don't like to generalize, there are a few smart, honorable and law abiding politicians, not enough but a few. Of course if a lie is told loud enough, repeated often enough, it will have a feeling of truth. No one has questioned that laws were broken at Sandy Hook, no one wants to mention that - they want to control the guns, like they already do the drugs, the illegal guns, the illegal aliens, the illegal acts against other folks. Those laws are no longer enough, they want background checks for gun purchases, but no background checks for voting, or student loans, or doing business with the United States government.

I am sure the whole push for background checks would immediately die, if the official form and record of the check was used for voter ID.

Bill O'Reilly wants stop and frisk done on all those others not like him, says it will teach them a lesson. I would love to see a criminal slip a gun into his pocket and then sic the police on him for a frisk. There must be a whole lot of problems with the Bill of Rights since Bill O'Reilly wants to do away with so many of them.

                                                                
Kevin Baker would like to know why so many of the police are carrying an assault weapon when  most of their work is in writing tickets and delivering court orders. His picture from Facebook today.

I am still trying to figure out when the law enforcement folks decided that lying to the public, covering their faces and identities, and working to 'con' people that hadn't done anything - into doing something they could then blackmail their cooperation with... When did they decide that being a law enforcement thug was better than being a criminal thug? Don't they have mothers that loved them? don't they have children that would like to be proud of them?

Having had to face the facts that real enemies had much better weapons than the modern criminals, terrorists and police, I am not frightened by the police, criminals nor terrorists that have such bad weapons. You should not be either.

The reason that the politicians think they (guns) are scary is they have seen too many foolish media stories where people die everywhere all the time, shot. Honest, if the entertainment people did show after show of drunken or drugged drivers wrecking the lives of innocents in the true relationship to the causes of death in America, there wouldn't be much use in trying to sell a Chevy Volt on those networks.  Week after week of innocents dying by the real killers on the highway. More than all the school, or Chicago gang shootings. Or they could do week after week of stupid reproductive acts between fool humans, and then the visit to the abortion clinic where it is all made better, as long as you get to see what they have to destroy. But then that would be not very entertaining either.   

Even the most honest journalist won't mention the medical errors causing deaths, the accidents caused by the impaired, the abortion numbers for cheap sex.

So for political gain, they will pass some laws and slap each other's back, do some high fives, and the deaths will continue, so they will have to try another law or two to tighten it up. Notice that all the failures have not stopped them from trying to fail bigger next time.

When asked why the Left is acting up, and being plain old rude in public - one commentator says they often do that when they feel powerless - kind of like Little Kim, Jung Un and his nuclear temper tantrum. But the Left isn't losing now, they have everything going their way - and are noticing that what they have won't work and we are all going down the drain together. You will finally run out of rich folks to tax, businesses to ruin and run badly. The Soviets did it, the Americans trying their same foolishness will go the same way.

Some of us gun owners already have the background checks, the registered firearms, the Concealed Carry Permits -- so making a law saying we should do what we already do - isn't going to stop criminals in England, Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and Mexico from getting all the automatic, concealed firearms they want to attack judges, other criminals or victims.  So why are our representatives in the capital pretending that another law or two will change facts? They are afraid of the truth, yep, they are afraid of the truth.
