The gun grabbers tell you they want more gun control in order to keep you safe. But that is the Big Lie.
If they really wanted to limit guns used most to murder people they’d target handguns, which are used in
almost half of all homicides.
Of 8,124 murders using a firearm in 2014, handguns were used 5,562
times. Rifles were used to murder someone only 248 times. And the
dreaded “assault weapon” the politicians make such a kerfuffle over is a
subset of rifles, so the number of people killed by those is much
lower.
That is evidence the government assault on so-called
“assault rifles” is just a show designed to confuse, deflect and cause
conflict and a means to begin the incremental steps to a complete gun
ban.
According to the FBI, shotguns were used more than rifles (262
times), and Joe Biden says you ought to buy one to shoot from your front
porch to scare intruders away. Knives (1,567 times) were the most-used
weapon of choice after firearms, followed by “weapon not stated (830
times), what the FBI calls “personal weapons” (hands, fists, feet, etc.,
660 times) and blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc., 435 times).
Of
course, keeping us safe is not the goal of the politicians or the gun
grabbers or anyone else who would deign to make your choices for you. If
they wanted to keep us safe, they would institute “doctor control.”
Doctors kill almost a million soon-to-be-born babies a year and more
than 1 million more Americans die each year of iatrogenic deaths (doctor
or hospital error) and adverse reactions from prescription drugs. The
total number of annual homicides using all means (less than 12,000)
pales in comparison to doctor-caused deaths.
It’s not politically correct to say it, but most homicides are gang
bangers killing other gang bangers, gang bangers killing people standing
near their gang banger targets or gang bangers killing people they’ve
targeted for crime. Your chance of dying from a gunshot if you are not a
gang banger or not committing suicide is 0.0005417721518987342 percent.
The media won’t tell you that.
As I’ve told you before, when you
hear a politician say he wants “to keep you safe” or he’s doing
something “for the children,” what he’s really saying is he wants to
steal your liberty. If there’s one constant in politics it’s that the
law being considered will do the opposite of what the politician tells
you it will do.
All modern governments are organized crime
legitimized by the police power of the state. There is illegal crime and
there is legal crime. We tend to accept government crime because it has
made itself politically legal and politically palatable with such
propaganda myths as “
democracy.”
All economic power, political power and religious power are vested in
the state. The state manages the system backed by police power. Police
power is civil and military.
The German state under Adolf Hitler
was organized crime protected by visible military power, whereas
American so-called democracy is a police state without the jack boots
and the swastika. Police power in a modern “democracy” appears more
benevolent because it is more subtle or more invisible. But police power
is ever present. It normally isolates and prosecutes enemies of the
state, radiating its presence through the controlled media for public
obedience. This type of police state is accurately described as
benevolent totalitarianism. Sometimes, however, it misfires and rears
its despotic head in actions like Waco and Ruby Ridge.
