There has been loads of asshattery on the internet since the tragic Oregon shooting, like this half-wit from Chicago Now<\/a>, no less, who says that we should rescind the 2d Amendment to make the country safer. More than 2300 people have been shot in Chicago this year so far in one of the most heavily regulated areas of the entire country. <\/p>\n

The Baltimore Sun comes right out and titles their opinion today “Repeal the Second Amendment<\/a>“, you know, as if that would make us all safer tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

Then this crap from liberal Raw Story that’s entitled Armed vet destroys gun nuts\u2019 argument on mass shooters by explaining why he didn\u2019t attack Oregon killer<\/a>. That’s not what the story about John Parker does, actually. He didn’t want to go charging into a scene about which he knew nothing and possibly end up being a target for SWAT, who would also be newly arrived on the scene. He showed cool and calm reasoning, certainly not what one would expect from a “gun nut”. You know, just like the rest of us who get lumped into that category.<\/p>\n

The New York Times published a piece entitled “27 Ways to Be a Modern Man<\/a>” which is really a bunch of foo-foo BS, but down there in number 25, after telling us how we should consider buying a shoe horn and drink only regular colas, it says that “The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn\u2019t own one, and he never will.” So those of us who own guns are ashamed that we don’t live up to the image of a “modern man” at a newspaper where squeezing the testosterone out of everyone on the staff couldn’t fill a thimble.<\/p>\n

CNN<\/a> reports that the president is “Physically sick” because he’s been unable to grab guns. The New York Times<\/a> reports that John Hanlin, the sheriff now leading the investigation into the horrific shooting at the small community college warned Oregon legislators that the laws that they passed in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting wouldn’t do anything to affect crimes or keep guns out of the hands of criminals.<\/p>\n

That’s really what it’s all about – government can only do so much. Jeb Bush is being criticized<\/a> for his fairly inelegant statement that “stuff happens”, but yeah, stuff does happen. Let’s say that it’s actually possible to retrieve every legal gun in this country, the 300 million that are out there, does anyone honestly think that the criminals will meekly comply with the new law? Their guns are already illegal because of existing laws and I don’t see a rush of folks turning in their illegal guns to the nearest constabulary. Will stuff really stop happening with new gun laws?<\/p>\n

Let’s say that we passed a law to force all private sales of firearms to be subjected to background checks – every grandfather who gives a war relic to a grandson, every father who buys a shotgun for his son’s birthday must first subject the receiver to a NICS check. What will that change? The FBI says that interviews they conducted with criminals indicates that less than 1% of the guns that they used in commission of their crimes were bought at gun shows or from legal owners. Mostly their guns are purchased in back alleys and dark parking lots – those sales aren’t likely to be reported even with a new law. Criminals don’t mind breaking laws – that’s why we call them criminals.<\/p>\n

The only people the President, the Baltimore Sun, Raw Story, the New York Times, that neck beard in Chicago want to regulate are those folks who will follow the law, the folks who already bend over backwards to jump through the legal hoops to own a firearm now – the folks who aren’t making “stuff happen”, the John Parkers of the country who shelter in place and secure their immediate surroundings.<\/p>\n

The president should stop making himself “physically ill” – he can only do so much and he’s done all that he can, if his real goal is to not interfere with legitimate gun owners’ rights, you know, like he says. Governments can’t regulate what is in peoples’ heads. The government can only get out of the way and let the law abiding citizens control their immediate surroundings. They could even try to make prosecutors do their respective jobs in the law enforcement realm for a change, rather than blame legal gun owners for every real nut job who thinks that being a mass murderer buys them a place in heaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
