So here we go again..... “Guns Kill People.” No, that statement just shows an ignorance of what guns are. Guns are inanimate objects, “they” can’t kill anybody. “Guns have been used to kill people.” Now that is a true statement and so is this:
“Bombs, poison, knives, swords, axes, hammers, screwdrivers, pencils, baseball bats, 2x4’s, bricks, rocks and cars have all been used to kill people.”
So why is it that whenever someone kills someone with a gun, all the “Elitists”, the “Political Aristocracy” and their “Media Lap Dogs” start running around screaming for more gun restrictions or to just outlaw them all together? Now you notice that they don’t run around screaming for restrictions or to outlaw the other things used to kill people, now do they? The victims of these “instruments of death” are just as dead aren’t they? Oh I know, they always say; “Well you can’t kill a large number of people with these instruments and that is the difference.” Really? Jeffery Dahmer killed 17 young men and boys using common kitchen utensils, hand and power tools… oh and his teeth. Ted Bundy killed 30 young women and girls and he never used a gun. John Wayne Gacy killed at least 33 boys and young men and never shot any of them. “Okay”, they say “but you can’t terrorize large groups of people like you can with a gun.” Oh really? How many young women walked to their cars after work terrified that the unknown killer was lurking in their parking lot just waiting to grab them and make them his next victim? How many Chicago parents made frantic calls when their young son didn’t return home at the expected time? Terrified that he was going to be one of those “missing boys” during the terror reign of John Wayne Gacy? Terror can be inflicted on large groups of people in many ways. An anonymous phone call to a building full of people claiming that there’s a bomb in the building and telling them that they have 3 minutes to get out or die I guarantee will cause terror in the hearts of every person in that building until they are out the doors and several hundred feet away.
Speaking of bombs; let’s remember the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Downtown Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. The Oklahoma blast claimed 168 lives, including 19 children and injured more than 680 people. No gun was involved. The bombers used 5,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer as the main component of their weapon.
And how about September 11, 2001, the 19 terrorists used box-cutters and airplanes to kill nearly 3,000 Americans. Again, no guns were involved.
So I ask again,,, why is it that they go after guns with such vehemence? Why??? What is it about guns in the hands of everyday citizens that terrifies the “Elitists”, the “Political Aristocracy” and their “Media Lap Dogs” ?
To answer that question, let’s do a little review of the history of weapons and guns.
Back in ancient times the biggest strongest man with a club could impose his will over other men and women through fear of pain and death.
Now let’s skip forward to the era of the gentlemen’s duel. A dispute between two men would be settled by a formal duel between the two. One man, the offended party, would “demand satisfaction” challenging the other to a duel. Now the challenged individual could choose between swords or pistols. Now say you were the one being challenged and you weren’t as physically fit or as quick with a blade as your opponent, but you had a good eye and steady hand. You of course would choose pistols over swords to even the odds with your challenger.
Now let’s skip ahead again to the days of the wild west. Colt Arms had developed the revolver or “6 Shooter” as it was called. The nick name for this gun was “The Peacemaker”. Why was it called that? Because virtually every man carried one on his hip and you had better be respectful of that other guy because he just may be faster on the draw than you. And if you robbed the local bank, you would have to face an army of armed townsmen as you tried to make your escape. It just made more sense to the majority of people to go about business with each other in a “peaceful” manner.
Now let’s skip ahead again, this time to the present. Did you know that the safest town in the US is an Atlanta suburb, Kennesaw, GA? Do you know why it is the safest town in the US? And did you know that the year after they passed 1 simple law, the crime rate dropped? Well it was 1982 and the Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed a law requiring adult heads of households to own at least one firearm with ammunition. The ordinance states the gun law is needed to; “protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants.”
Then-councilman J.O. Stephenson said that after the ordinance was passed everyone “went crazy.” “People all over the country said there would be shootings in the street and violence in homes”, he said; “of course, that wasn’t the case.” In fact, according to Stephenson, it caused the crime rate in the city to plunge. Kennesaw Historical Society President Robert Jones said that following the law’s passage, the crime rate DROPPED 89% in the city, compared to the modest 10% drop statewide.
So what have we learned from our history review ?
1. Almost anything can be used as a murder or terror weapon.
2. Bombs are far more effective as killing weapons than guns.
3. Communities that have high gun ownership have lower crime rates than those who restrict gun ownership. Or to put it another way:
“Gun control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun.”
― Sammy "the Bull" Gravano
4. Guns are equalizers. With the invention of the gun, it no longer mattered if you were man or woman, small and weak, old and crippled. If you could hold, aim and pull the trigger of a gun, you were the equal of any bigger, stronger, younger assailant intent on harming you or your loved ones.
Now that you have some more information, it’s time to THINK again. Who do these “Elitists” want to limit access of guns for? Well, the “common” people of course. I emphasized common people because you KNOW they don’t want to take them away from everybody, just everyday Joe & Jane American. That’s right; they don’t want you to have them. Why ???
I will explain that in Part 2.
I will explain that in Part 2.
I am Whamm, I have spoken, may those with wisdom hear and be empowered in their fight to remain free.
