When It Comes to ‘Gun Violence,’ the UK Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet

  Reposted from May 27, 2016 : A common argument raised by the citizen disarmament lobby is that the Brits suffer from much less “gun violence.” That’s generally followed by crediting the gun ban that took place after the Dunblane school massacre, along with the assurance that similar draconian laws would yield similar results in the U.S. Common counter-arguments, while true, are generally incomplete. Those typically center on a cultural proclivity to be less violent, especially when such cultures are homogeneous, like the UK for the most part, or Japan. Two points that are raised less frequently: If violence were caused by guns, the millions of members of the NRA and other gun groups wouldn’t have statistically insignificant “gun violence” rates that are lower than those in the “gun-free paradises” by an order of magnitude. The other point is, we can’t draw reliable long-term conclusions from short-term trends, which is a matter of perspective, and things are still unfol...

    By this time next year you might not be able to buy a gun – or be allowed to hunt. The latest version of Senate Bill-003 passed committee last Friday and threatens to change your way of life in Colorado. Under this bill, our: ●  Sheriffs are permitted to require a DNA test from you to buy a gun. ●  Parks and Wildlife Division will use money dedicated to hunting to fund expansive gun control schemes. ●  Department of Revenue will be in charge of deciding which guns you can and can’t buy.

The bill was moved to ANOTHER committee on Friday for review because of how terribly the bill is written.  These gun grabbers are being worn down by the thousands of calls, texts, emails, and testimonies they’ve received over this draconian bill .   Help RMGO Destroy the 2025 2A Abolition Package Enemies of the Sec...

That's apparently a newsworthy tidbit for followers of celebrity tabloid gossipmongers.  Showbiz Spy's  Richard Head  tells readers  Gibson "has admitted he has a dangerous weapon hidden away in his home in case an intruder breaks in during the night and puts his family’s lives at risk." The 54-year-old actor insists there is nothing unusual about his outlook, as in modern society, times have changed to the extent where people need to be 'tooled up' with weapons to defend themselves, their loved-ones and their homes. True enough. There's nothing unusual about that and Gibson is correct--weapons are tools, and we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to have them and know how to properly use them. It's hardly news though, tha...
