Gun Control, My Fat Aunt Harriet!
All the fussing over GUNZZ!! from the left herd side of the fence is partly a PR whack job by the media, who pander to them and want to Control Thought when they can’t even control their own bladders. While it should not be necessary to repeat ‘no one is forcing you hoplophobes to buy, own, rent, look at or touch a gun’, it is swept aside with “yeah, but –” because that ‘it’s the GUNZ, not the people’ fallacy is more important to promote than facing reality.
It seems odd that the FBI’s own statistics, as well as CDC’s statistics, show quite clearly that gun-related deaths are FAR outnumbered by NON-gun-related deaths, and that this is not brought up by the left herd media unless they are forced to do so. Even then, they try to turn it into ‘GUNZ BAD!! GUNZ SCARY!! It’s fer da chlluns!!!’
This statement from the article linked below, is quite specific: According to the FBI, more than five times as many people were killed in 2018 by knives, clubs and other cutting instruments than with rifles. – article
The FBI’s assessment of the number of deaths NOT related to guns in 2018 shows that there were more deaths due to physical violence without guns than those with guns.
CDC’s own statistics have gun-related deaths at 15th in their list of death rates, showing heart disease at Number One position with 615,000 deaths per year, and gun-related deaths at Number Fifteen position with 15,000 per year, of which 11,000 were homicides. I covered that here: https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=91412
Perhaps we should be addressing the real issue, which is violence itself, instead of the means of committing it. That violence is the real issue is obvious, but it is not being addressed in all this furor, and won’t be addressed because violence is a part of humans as an apex predator and hunter-gatherer species, and they know it. It’s in our genes.
If it weren’t, then how do you account for the violence of the hooded and masked crapweasels who puff themselves off as Antifas, among other groups, and the continuing, and increasing, rates of violence in bad neighborhoods of cities like Chicago and Baltimore and all those other places reported in FGS articles right here on TAH?
You do not have to have a gun to commit a crime of violence. Crimes of violence were going on long, long before guns of any kind were available.
The fact is that, as so many here have pointed out, it isn’t about guns at all. No one is required to own, use, touch or even look at guns.
It’s about controlling you, whether you own or use one or not.
Those control freaks on the left side of the fence know that they can’t control what you do. And that scares the bejesus out of them.

“It’s about controlling you….”
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what this is all about. Until they have control of weapons equal to the State’s Weapons used to suppress your freedoms, they will not be able to control you.
This is another reason why history is no longer being taught in schools. And holocaust deniers. And we can make socialism work this time because we gonna do it right. The list goes on.
Politicians caused a war that killed more Americans than every other war this Country had been involved in combined. They are hell bent to cause another. To them, it is a form of population control too. Just as the magician uses the pretty girl, sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors, or what ever to distract the audience, so does the distractions go for the people who want to control you.
Molon Labe! I will fight till I run out of blood, weapons to bear, or enemies.
True that! If it were actually because Guns are soooo dangerous, they would be campaigning to ban cars, ban blunt objects, etc., which all kill more than guns. And, they make the most noise about the firearms that kill the least. Handguns are used maliciously much more than rifles, yet it is the scary black AR-15 that they want to remove. It is about Control, nothing more, nothing less.
If our Government and its minions treat us this shitty while many of us are armed, JUST THINK about what they’d do once we were all disarmed!!!
Totally unrelated, but looky-at what I FOUND!!! 😀

Dickbag reportedly “joined the Army when he was 17 years old and that he was an Army Ranger from 1974 to 1978, which included five months in Vietnam and Cambodia.” LOL 🙂
“Politicians caused a war that killed more Americans than every other war this Country had been involved in combined”… I assume despite the generic fuzzy phrasing this refers to WWII? Kind of thought OTHER countries’ politicians like in Japan and Germany started that one.
Not WWII. The American War Between The States. A true study of the history of that conflict, particularly the time frame leading up to the firing on Ft Sumter will show the many occasions that the war could have been avoided. Casualty figures vary from one source to another but the generally accepted figures, killed, are well north of 600,000 Americans. Add to that, the massive #s that died soon after the war from either their wounds, exposure, or what not and that figure goes well north of 1 million Americans. Notice, I refer only to Americans killed. It was only until the casualty figures from the Desert Storm conflict that the combined totals of all wars exceeded the numbers we lost between 1861 and 1865.

The facts, while interesting, are not relevant. In their minds anyway.
“The facts, while interesting, are not relevant. In their minds anyway.”… That applies to EVERYTHING when it comes to leftists, like our resident seagull, and the entire democrat field..
A local (Washington/Oregon) radio host had an encounter with Seattle Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) at an airport waiting area recently. The radio host knew her husband was a hunter and asked about her thoughts on and gun control.
She stated that she believed magazines should be restricted to a single round capacity. He noted to her that it would in effect outlaw revolvers. He said she then got the “deer in the headlights” look.
I so enjoy it when politicians and useful idiots (*OOPS*, Politicians) parade their stupidity for God and everyone to see!!
I meant “…activists and useful idiots…” A Proud Infidel®™ needs to proofread before hitting the “Post Comment” button!!!
Left/libtards don’t need to know about guns, except that they don’t want us peons to have them.
IMHO, the goal is a disarmed citizenry so that their tyranny can flow unchecked.
I can find no better explanation of their efforts, and it is in harmony with their other actions.
YMMV
I’ve pointed out that little fact – five times more people are murdered with knives and other sharp instruments than ALL rifle types combined. Hell, more people are beaten to death by an assailant’s hands, fists, and feet than all rifle types. – numerous times in gun control arguments. I either get the sound of crickets in return or that tired old phrase, “yeah, but gunz!!!”
The gun controllers know that the facts aren’t on their side. But with the help of a complicit mass media they can ignore facts in favor of their feelings and ideology.
You will be made to believe that you are going to obey your betters.
In other words, since we wisely say “F#### Off!” to their antics, there must be something wrong with us, so out come the jackboots.
They see themselves as aristocrats, and wonder that we defy them. Fools they are, Bluebloods, RedAbteilung, whatever, all fools and poltroons.
The upraised middle finger is hard-wired in American DNA. And if that “warning finger” is ignored, the index finger can go to work.
