Liberal Policies have caused enough Deaths

How many more innocent lives are Progressives/Liberals/Democrats willing to sacrifice to further their political goals of controlling people and making them dependent on government?

While Democrat gun control proposals in Washington and Concord wouldn’t have stopped the Newtown massacre, they would make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to defend themselves from assault, rape, robbery, murder and other crimes.

Similar delusional Democrat policies, e.g., their counter-productive “Gun Free Zones” and highly restrictive gun controls that leave people defenseless, have already sacrificed far too many children and adults.

Senator Feinstein to the Rescue, She Found the Problem!!!

After years of study Senator Feinstein has identified the real cause of mass killings. Quoting Senator Feinstein,“It’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieHhIqxR7kY) Apparently all we need is a law saying it is no longer legal to hunt (kill) humans using a large capacity magazine. You can probably get bi-partisan … Read more

Progressives: giving breaks to the lawless, declaring the guilt of the lawful

Hmmm. When I first saw this, I went “yup”! A warning to the lawless, the criminal class: “Now, now children, you need to behave. Please follow the rules, please obey the law. After all, it’s for the children.’ That seems to be the message – a slap on the wrist AND the expectation that it is all that it will take. After all, this is just “guidance” to criminals to “perfect them” (after all, killing innocent children in a gun free zone is not a nice thing”.

And then Progressives are all happy to trust the criminal class to then behave themselves – cut them a break, as it were. After all, it is the fault of Society that they are the way they are – we ALL are to blame for their actions. And then go all agog when their expectations go awry again. Rinse, repeat. Always the “eternal second chances” as they are not responsible for their actions – they are implicitly part of the vast “identity victim class” that must be protected (again, it.just.isn’t.their.fault).

Response to Nancy Parsons Questions about Objections to Obama’s Gun Control Policies

Perhaps other people wonder about the questions in Nancy Parson’s letter of January 18, 2013 in the Laconia Daily Sun. (See: http://issuu.com/dailysun/docs/lds1-18-13 ) My beliefs are based on the following: True safety requires consideration of reality not wishes. If anyone is hurt during a crime, it should be the criminal not the intended victim. Criminals will ignore gun laws and get the guns they want. Lack of accurate information causes many people to irrationally fear guns in the hands of law abiding Americans.

First. I lived most of my life outside of New Hampshire in states with very restrictive gun laws so initially it felt strange to see armed civilians. All those other states have much higher crime rates than New Hampshire, and I feel much safer in New Hampshire where criminals aren’t assured of helpless victims.

Second. A common question among people who know nothing about guns is about “how many bullets does one need?” The answer is, it depends.

Anyone who thinks you only need one or two bullets should go to a shooting range (there is one in Belmont) and shoot at a target (they’ll help you). Then consider how hard it is to hit a flying bird or a running, jumping and turning animal.

Self-defense is another matter. To an unpredictably moving target, add in surprise, fear, perhaps terror, attempts to corral and calm children, calling the police for help, perhaps an angry attacker shooting at you, and our natural hesitancy to shoot another human.

Politicians like Obama help Murderers at Schools like Newtown

Why are killers at public schools like Newtown able to kill so many people? They didn’t use military grade assault or automatic weapons. Few or none used large capacity magazines. They killed so many people because they had lots of time to shoot lots of bullets.

They had so much time because politicians made schools “gun free zones.” And, when every second could mean another dead child, the police are minutes away.

Theoretically, politicians created “gun free zones” to protect children. But, actually they created “helpless victim zones” allowing killers to easily get their 15 minutes of fame, revenge, or company as they commit suicide.

Criminals have set out intending to kill lots of people in many different places. But, except for one case, killers have only succeeded in killing more than three people in public mass killings in “gun free zones” where law abiding people cannot have guns that could stop killers.

Guns or no guns; no safety or plenty safe?

Do Something that Actually Dissuades and Stops Killers

I am sympathetic with Ben Fordham’s call, in his 12/19 letter to the editor of The Citizen of Laconia (www.citizen.com), to “DO something“. We should do something that works. What we have been doing fails because it has been based on fantasy, not realism.

We have established “gun free zones” to protect children and others, but “gun free zones” only protect the killers and serve up unprotected victims.

Fordham apparently wonders why people want guns for protection since we have so much law enforcement, police, FBI, etc. If law enforcement is the answer, then why are there so many dead in Newtown? Newtown is evidence of the truth of the NRA claim, “when seconds count, the police are minutes away.”
