Since Aurora and Sandy Hook, we who like to shoot and support the Right that the Second Amendment enshrines have just about had it in listening to all kinds of folks who believe that they know best for society with respect to “gun violence”.
Sidenote: and we all know that this phrase is a made up / focus group created phrase that means nothing special; violence is violence, regardless if a “violence tool” is used or not (are hands and feet considered to be a “violence tool” too?)
They tell us “you don’t need this”, “I don’t know anyone that…”, “it is for the common good”, “we have to consider the safety and security” and the one phrase they believe renders them harmless against all logical arguments: “this is for the children” (er, we are supposed to shut up at that point, otherwise we are selfish, cold hearted, and hate everyone else). Progressives are oft to say “Hey, trust Government – the best and brightest work here!”. In fact, one of their basic theorems of governance is that those in Government DO know better than you in how to order and run your life and those of your family, and Civil Society as a whole. Why? Because they TRULY believe they are smarter than those of us they wish to rule.
And then, as Grokster Rick and Susan point out here and here, they do the one thing that renders them weaponless: they open their mouths and speak.
