More From the Hoplophobic Anti-Gun Lexicon

“False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.” —Socrates

Oh_No_Guns_WhiteThe Gun debate. “Sensible Gun Policy.” “The public health crisis of gun violence.” “Assault Weapons” “Clips” “Magazines” “Bi-partisan.” The buzz words and phrases are awash…ignorance abounds.

This is easy for me. My mind is made up. I’ve picked a side. there is nothing bipartisan about me. For I live and breathe the second amendment. Most know that about me anyway. I neither make excuses for it, nor do I apologize for it. I am not interested in what the other side has to say. I’ve listened long enough to know in thirty years it has not changed.

On the other side, ignorance knows no limits. One would think, at some point…at some time…the anti-gun ignoramous clatch would take a class, get some instruction or learn something…anything about guns. Go to a range, shoot a gun, meet some gun people. Nope. they are not not going to do any of that. They rest in their intellectually dishonest laurels. This tells me they, too have made up their minds.

Here is a sampling of that intellectual disconnect. The lexicon of foolishness crafted through deceptive words to be used on a society of sheeple distracted by the next shiny thing grabbing their attention.

Listening Tours. Liberal love listening tours…except for those who advocate for the second amendment. If one Googles, “Listening Tour” the internet is awash with liberals engaging in listening tours. This is where one sits in a room full of people…quietly….then when somebody spouts off about something with which they agree, that becomes a cornerstone of the listening tour. Perfect example of Hokum.

To protect our children. Liberals love to use children as intellectual human shields. Bereft of integrity, and rife with cowardice, the only arrows liberals sling is where they can cut off the conversation is to hide behind kids…Just like Sadaam Hussein hid behind people to keep from being bombed. Many who divorce use kids as the rope in the game of custodial tug of war, so I guess that is just par for the course, for them.

A most infamous person in 20th century history once wrote, “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.” that was Hitler in Mein Kampf. Just how precious are our children again? remind me, please.

No More Names. A sham bus tour where anti-second amendment proponents read aloud the names of people killed by firearms…even when those same people used guns illegally, shooting at police and were later shot themselves.

Sensible Gun Policy. It’s the point where anti-gun liberals get to propose and make the rules, convince other to assent or agree and even cut corrupt bargains to those ends. “Moderate Republicans” smile and applaud a “bipartisan” approach, voting (actually bending over) and helping this corruption and adulteration of our constitution become law.

Gun Crime/Gun Violence. Crime is crime and violence is violence. If a nut with a metal folding chair runs into a Senior Center or a Daycare and viciously clubs old folks or children with a folding chair, is that less heinous than the one who shoots those places up? Terms likes “Gun Crime,” and “Gun Violence,” politically assign greater apportionment of the stigma to a gun, than to a knife, a club, brass knuckles or a corn broom.

Referring to all Guns as, “Weapons” I swept my kitchen floor last night with a weapon appropriate to the job: a broom. That seems silly because a broom is not a weapon. You can’t do anything else with a broom but sweep. Or, can you? What if I don’t like the fact that my neighbors trash cans are overflowing on trash day and trash is left at the front of my lawn? What I I take that broom out with me and lay it upside my next door neighbors’ head? Is it still just a broom? or is it a weapon? Inversely, I do not consider my firearms as “weapons” until I the owner and possessor of them have made a conscious endeavor to use them as weapons.

Gun Nuts. A most-favored pejorative of those lacking testicular fortitude. Cowards. those who cannot fight on any meaningful intellectual level. Most often found used by those who post on Electronic publications of news organizations by those frequently using pseudonyms hailing from mom’s basement. Occasionally used by a rabid legislator.

Bipartisan. This one is my favorite. RINO’s love to call for putting aside the “politicization” of the gun issue and “working together.” But, the reality is that, in and of itself is politicization. When a political argument is so crafted threatening dire political consequences when opposing political characters pursue a given political outcome, that is, hence,  politicization of the issue. The politicization then only favors those who prefer the strict gun control.

The late great Colonel Jeff Cooper opined in his book, The Art of the Rifle, “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

So the argument rages on regarding Senate Bill 244. The anti-gun people want the bill shut down because one of the amended versions totally gutted the bill, packed it with gun group constituencies for the study committee and stripped out NICS provisions. Many pro-gun folks want the bill killed because no matter how good or right or perfect any amendment that follows is, it will indeed be changed.

Regardless of what happens, we as advocates for the constitution of our founding fathers need to commit to holding the bastards accountable for their lies…their sleight of hand in wordsmithing. Their lies…made from whole cloth. Anti-second amendment folks are not going away. But when they need a good swift kick in the balls, I will be at the front of the line.
