Liberal and progressive gun controllers aren’t afraid of criminals with guns. They’re afraid of honest people with guns. They’re afraid of you. And your gun.
Just look at the laws Hillary, Bernie and Obama are pressing their minions to support — laws that would limit, restrict and disarm the public, the average gun-owning American. New taxes to make arms cost more, letting police have more and better ammo than you can have (to fight off the same bad guys), make non-criminals liable for criminals’ actions, arbitrary lists of people not charged with anything who can have their guns taken away. These aren’t anti-crime laws, they’re anti you laws.
That’s why liberals like so-called “gun-free” zones. It keeps you out. Discrimination is fine, if it stops your civil right to arms, because they fear your kind.
No one is stupid enough to think a gun-free-zone sticker keeps out bank robbers and muggers and jihadis. That makes no sense even to progressives.
It is you they want disarmed. It is you they fear. Despite the evidence, despite the fact that crime has dropped since licensees and armed citizens now number in the tens of millions. Despite the false cries of wolf as every single state in the Union got some form of Right to Carry restored. Facts matter little to the truly fearful.
The progressive and liberal anti-gun-rights advocates aren’t showing concern for stopping or deterring true threats to their safety, that’s the bizarre part. They literally provide opportunity for assault upon themselves — as long as they feel they have stopped their fellow man. This is what so many of us on the rational conservative bench have been missing.
This is why it seems like irrational behavior to us — the majority of Americans, the gun bearing public. It seems irrational — because it is irrational. Disarming your neighbors, at a restaurant for example, but doing nothing to disarm or even provide obstacles to your adversaries, is madness. And progressives don’t recognize the fact: “In this building we are protected by this sign.” That makes sense to them. God help us.
This is why every new law the left proposes goes after the millions of Americans who legally own guns, instead of criminals who can’t have guns in the first place. When they meet massive resistance they’re flummoxed. We don’t see any enhanced criminal-disarming programs, true gangster-enforcement policies, real sentences, rehab that isn’t contagion, model laws to protect the innocent or advance civil rights, we get nothing for progress from the progressives.
Progressives R Regressive aim to disarm us, we the people. That’s because we scare them more than criminals scare them. To them, we are the threat. The very fact that we may be adults, capable and actually bearing arms, this is what they seek to stop, not crime. They understand implicitly that by using their great social powers they have gotten the dangerous criminals mostly contained, and at each others’ throats, in the bad parts of town. The ghettos, if they’d stop calling it the inner cities.
