All the fussing over GUNZZ!! from the left herd side of the fence is partly a PR whack job by the media, who pander to them and want to Control Thought when they can’t even control their own bladders. While it should not be necessary to repeat ‘no one is forcing you hoplophobes to buy, own, rent, look at or touch a gun’, it is swept aside with “yeah, but –” because that ‘it’s the GUNZ, not the people’ fallacy is more important to promote than facing reality.<\/p>\n
It seems odd that the FBI’s own statistics, as well as CDC’s statistics, show quite clearly that gun-related deaths are FAR outnumbered by NON-gun-related deaths, and that this is not brought up by the left herd media unless they are forced to do so.\u00a0 Even then, they try to turn it into ‘GUNZ BAD!! GUNZ SCARY!! It’s fer da chlluns!!!’<\/p>\n
This statement from the article linked below, is quite specific:\u00a0 According to the FBI, more than five times as many people were killed in 2018<\/em> by knives, clubs and other cutting instruments than with rifles. – article<\/p>\n The FBI\u2019s assessment of the number of deaths NOT related to guns in 2018 shows that there were more deaths due to physical violence without<\/em> guns than those with guns.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.lawenforcementtoday.com\/fbi-more-people-killed-with-knives-hammers-clubs-and-even-feet-than-rifles-in-2018\/<\/a><\/p>\n CDC’s own statistics have gun-related deaths at 15th in their list of death rates, showing heart disease at Number One position with 615,000 deaths per year, and gun-related deaths at Number Fifteen position with 15,000 per year, of which 11,000 were homicides. I covered that here: https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=91412<\/a><\/p>\n Perhaps we should be addressing the real issue, which is violence itself, instead of the means of committing it. That violence is the real issue<\/em> is obvious, but it is not being addressed in all this furor, and won’t be addressed because violence is a part of humans as an apex predator and hunter-gatherer species, and they know it. It’s in our genes.<\/p>\n If it weren’t, then how do you account for the violence of the hooded and masked crapweasels who puff themselves off as Antifas, among other groups, and the continuing, and increasing, rates of violence in bad neighborhoods of cities like Chicago and Baltimore and all those other places reported in FGS articles right here on TAH?<\/p>\n You do not have to have a gun to commit a crime of violence. Crimes of violence were going on long, long before guns of any kind were available.<\/p>\n The fact is that, as so many here have pointed out, it isn’t about guns at all. No one is required to own, use, touch or even look at guns.<\/p>\n It’s about controlling you, whether you own or use one or not.<\/p>\n Those control freaks on the left side of the fence know that they can’t control what you do. And that scares the bejesus out of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
