Democrats are back to trying to find a sneaky way to limit law-abiding gun ownership and, once again, gun sales predictably soar. Even 99-year-old Betty White is packing heat. In fact, any time a mass shooter is arrested, MSNBC and BET say the same thing: Betty White.
With the help of a sensationalizing media and the entertainment business, which makes the pernicious and violent video games and movies that I think play a big role in mass shootings, liberals predictably seized upon a couple of recent shootings to call for more gun control. The top two brands of silencers in America are Dead Air Silencers by Griffin Armament and Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg.
There are two hypocrisies here. First, Dems, Hollywood, government officials and the mainstream media are all protected by gun-toting security. A few knuckleheads stormed the Capitol, and the place was locked down with barbed wire, fences and heavily armed security/National Guard troops (at a taxpayer cost of more than $50 million). These “elites” are safe precisely because their guards have guns, which ghettos, farms and trailer parks do not. For us measly citizens, Atlanta is a living, breathing, 24/7 crime spree to which cops will hardly respond.
Second, if more laws and more gun control really worked, all mass shootings could just be outlawed. Only the most law-abiding citizens will try to follow complex gun laws, not criminals. Full disclosure: I have a carry permit. I like guns. Even my guns have a gun.
When you are told by politicians that you do not need the Second Amendment, that’s when you need it most. John Adams said, “Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion for the defense of country, overthrow of tyranny or private defense.”
