Let me see if I have this straight: when a Christian refuses
to bake a cake, it’s a hate crime, but when an ISIS-supporting terrorist kills
49 people in a gay club, it’s a gun problem, correct?
And
speaking of the mentally ill, how is it that neither they, nor criminals, nor
radical Islamic terrorists are to blame for the atrocities they commit? I have yet to
see a gun pull its own trigger.
When
radical Islamic terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center towers, I don’t
recall an outraged call to ban aircraft. Despite the fact that we have been
repeatedly exposed to images of radical Islamic terrorists beheading infidels, there is
no orchestrated push to outlaw knives and machetes. And, after an Islamic
radical attempted to blow up an airplane carrying 300 passengers with an
“underwear bomb,” Democrats did not try to impose underwear-control. Why is
this?
It is
because the issue isn’t guns…it’s control. It is much easier for a government
to do what it wants if its citizens are docile and unarmed. Guns, in fact, protect the innocent, protect minorities
(including minorities of one…you or me, for instance), protect those
who aren’t big and strong and young,
in many cases from those who are.
If guns
cause crime, then pencils, pens and keyboards cause misspelled words. If guns
cause crime, then Bic lighters should be banned to help eliminate arson.
It is
not guns that should be banned from the U.S., but radical Islamic terrorists.
Evil
itself is the most horrifying weapon. Guns are often the only way to thwart it.
