Some wounded still hover between life and death.  The dead are not yet buried.  Americans mourn the dead and injured of the Las Vegas shootings.  We wonder how such an event could happen.

And leftists do what they always do; use a crisis to try to take away the rights of the more than 318 million Americans who didn’t harm anyone.

Make no mistake; leftists want to take away the American peoples’ Second Amendment rights.  Ignore their denials; occasionally leftists, like Senator Diane Feinstein, admit their goal.  They don’t want you to have guns for hunting, for target shooting, for other legal uses, and not even for self-defense.

According to leftists only police and rich leftists’ (whose lives are much more valuable than ours) personal security should have guns.

After each tragedy, e.g., Sandy Hook, Orlando, and Las Vegas, leftists immediately demand restricting the rights of law abiding American people with laws that wouldn’t have avoided any of the tragedies.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

We have seen a number of militant gay couples go to Christian small businesses like flower shops, wedding photographers, wedding chapel owners, and t-shirt makers and demand to be served.  At almost every turn, anti-discrimination ordinances or that any business was a “public accommodation”, along with biased bureaucrats and judges,  either put these businesses out of business or have put them into years long court battles that may well bankrupt them even if they win on First Amendment grounds.

Now, what happens when the shoe is on the other foot?  Is a gay person allowed to “discriminate” against Christian customers?

A gay Seattle coffee shop owner kicked a group of Christians out of his coffee shop Sunday, after declaring he would [Rule #1 prevents me from pasting this in -Skip]. The owner heatedly tells the Christians to leave his shop immediately in a video posted to Facebook by Abolish Human Abortion, a Christian group seeking to end the practice of abortion.

“I’m gay, you have to leave,” the owner tells the group. “This is offensive to me. I own the place. I have the right to be offended.” The group tried to explain that they hadn’t placed any in the shop, but the owner repeatedly told them to”shut up.”

And on Obamacare. And on contraceptives. And on LGBT issues.  They must think we are stupid because the “conversation” has never really stopped – they NEVER keep yammering.  What they they mean by “conversating” is for us to SHUT UP and adopt their way of thinking as if we were soft cantalopes.  Not happening, as Kurt Schlichter writes.  In part (reformated, emphasis mine):

Nothing Makes Liberals Angrier Than Us Normals Insisting On Our Rights

I don’t agree with liberals often, because I’m not an idiot and because I love America, but when they once again say, “We must have a conversation about guns!” I still couldn’t agree more. And, since all we’ve heard is you leftists shrieking at us all week, I’ll start it off.

You don’t ever get to disarm us. Not ever.

That was the nicest part.  He get more amusing:

Now, we should have this conversation because in recent years we’ve seen a remarkable antipathy for the fact that normal Americans even have rights among those on the left. We should have this conversation to clear the air before leftists push too far and the air gets filled with smoke. But we really don’t need to have a conversation about our rights to keep and bear arms. They’re rights. There’s nothing to talk about.
