Didn’t realise there was this type of information out there…

Geat post. I added you to my blog roll!…

Pick me up in the middle of a hectic work day. I love your writing and your thoughts — both are so sophisticated, yet at the same time casual and comfortable. Thank you for the entertainment and the inspiration to challenge myself to find more \’hap…

(The police arrived within 2 minutes at NIU, but the shooting was already OVER, the shooter having killed himself BEFORE the police arrived. So the police saved ZERO lives in this case.)

The police at NIU reached the shooter in less than two minutes, but six people were already dead and 15 injured. As terrible as this loss and pain are, the number of dead or injured would have been much higher had it taken just a moment longer for police to respond.

And at the same time, the Washington DC police Have No Duty To Protect Citizens!

The District of Columbia’s highest court spelled out plainly the “fundamental principle that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular individual citizen.”[5]

In the especially gruesome landmark case the “no-duty” rule got ugly. Just before dawn on March 16, 1975, two men broke down the back door of a three-story home in Washington, D.C., shared by three women and a child. On the second floor one woman was sexually attacked. Her housemates on the third floor heard her screams and called the police.

The women’s first call to D.C. police got assigned a low priority, so the responding officers arrived at the house, got no answer to their knocks on the door, did a quick check around, and left. When the women frantically called the police a second time, the dispatcher promised help would come—but no officers were even dispatched.

The attackers kidnapped, robbed, raped, and beat all three women over 14 hours. When these women later sued the city and its police for negligently failing to protect them or even to answer their second call, the court held that government had no duty to respond to their call or to protect them. Case dismissed.

No brainer. She’d have been better off with the gun.

How quickly you forget all the data I posted from the CDC on gun deaths verses the increase in gun ownership.

Everytime you have been proven wrong. Everytime.

You claim that Concealed Carry have “never” caused the violence or murder rates to go down.

That leaves two other options, that concealed carry has no effect or that concealed carry increases violence and murder.

Which one do you believe and why (i.e. data)?

That is it. Period.

Everytime I have shown her the numbers on how she is wrong and she still acts like allowing law abiding citizens to own guns will increase the muder rate.”

Sorry Nathan, but as usual you are wrong…you never have disproven anything I ever posted about gun violence.
We’ll see..if they overturn the ban on hand guns, I’ll bet the rate of violence goes up.
And CC laws have never caused the violence or murder rates to go down. That’s a myth perpetrated by the NRA and other gun nuts. The study by Lott and Mustard was disproven long ago.

There are those who are entrenched in their emotional opinion and their minds are closed to listen to the facts.

Ignorance leads to fear. And fear leads to those who want gun bans.

There are others who have different reasons for banning guns. They are very aware of the facts. They know their political agenda cannot be achieved if the Government does not have complete control over The People.

HillaryCare! for example. Hillary will mandate all purchase health insurance or else! Wages will be garnished. Welfare will be garnished. Or you go to jail.

At some point, even the Sheeple will put their hooves down and refuse to comply with unreasonable and Unconstitutional demands of Government.

Once disarmed, all will have to comply.

That is it. Period.

Everytime I have shown her the numbers on how she is wrong and she still acts like allowing law abiding citizens to own guns will increase the muder rate.

* Ninth Amendment – Protection of rights not specifically enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

* Tenth Amendment – Powers of states and people.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Interpretation for monkeys;
Ninth; “enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
Or, the Constitution does not enumerate, or list for monkeys, all the peoples rights. People HAVE rights NOT enumerated in the Constitution but they can NOT be denied. That strengthens the individual and unalienable rights of individuals, the people.
The Tenth; “powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, OR TO THE PEOPLE.
Or, those powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people, and the previous amendments, including the 2nd., have been specifically given to the people, and can not be infringed by either the federal or state governments.
If you can’t get that maybe something is wrong and you should see a veterinarian.

“All of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights are individual rights not collective states rights, to interpret the 2nd. Amendment differently is disingenuous.”

Perhaps you should read the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.

My current favorite part:

“The shocking deadliness is clearly evident. No doubt the assault weapon known as the “Ruger 10/22? earned its name from its ability to kill twenty-two people for every ten shots fired.”

Includes articles such as “John Browning: Dastardly Morman” and includes warnings of the “new danger on the horizon: shoulder fired rifles.”

What makes it so funny, of course, is that the ‘real’ VPC and Brady Bunch are just about that breathlessly over-the-top. This is satire that hits its target dead-on. Enjoy.

The Bill of Rights are Individual Rights and comprises the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Those amendments were adopted between 1789 and 1791, and all relate to limiting the power of the federal government. They were added in response to criticisms of the Constitution by the state ratification conventions and by prominent individuals such as Thomas Jefferson (who was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention). These critics argued that without further restraints, the strong central government would become tyrannical.
Our Rights under the Bill of Rights preexist the government, and are not granted by the government, they are outlined as preexisting and can not be taken away by the government.
All of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights are individual rights not collective states rights, to interpret the 2nd. Amendment differently is disingenuous.

Every time a state passed legal concealed carry, we heard that cry from the left. And every time, the left was wrong. When will you ever learn?

This prediction was wrong before, and it will be wrong again.

And Max – Yes, Kelo was one of the dark days on the Court. I’m confident this will go the right way. In any case, it always makes sense to keep your powder dry.

Today, the only ones in DC who have access to handguns are the police, and the criminals.
