Liberal Thinking: Death or injury to those who can't use martial arts or other non-lethal means of self-defense-- The young, the old, the infirm, the disabled, the weak, the small, and the pregnant--are simply the necessary sacrifice we must make to criminals, to avoid the risks of letting honest, law abiding people be armed.

What Happens When Law Abiding Citizens Carry, Gasp! Handguns! Wendy, I hope your paying attention? Well I guess even if you are, you would still not 'get it' Texas: The Concealed Handgun Law: Ten Years Later When the Texas Concealed Handgun Law took effect in 1996, pundits and naysayers predicted anarchy. Any minute, there would surely be mass violence as armed Texas citizens began roving the streets settling arguments with gunfire. Certainly, several proclaimed, within a year there would be blood in the streets as Texas returned to the days of the Wild West. Ten years later the facts paint a different picture. Texas under the Concealed Handgun Law isn’t the Wild West, but the Mild West. No recurrent shootouts at four-way stops, no blood in the streets. Quite the contrary, Texans are safer than before. But why are we safer? Why did the fears of the naysayers fail to materialize? One of the reasons I authored Senate Bill 60, the Concealed Handgun Law, was because I trust my fellow Texans. Contrary to opinions expressed on almost every editorial page across the state, I knew that when law-abiding Texans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms was restored with the passage of S.B. 60, they would exercise good judgment and behave responsibly. Ten years later, and the statistics continue to prove the point.(The Canadian picture would look about the same, of even better. Unfortunately, Canadians are not trusted by their governments. Past Liberal governments, and left leaning conservatives have brainwashed the average Canadian into the false belief that it's "Guns" that are the problem, and NOT criminals. Some media reports heave even laid blame and cause for a death by saying the death was "at the hands of a gun"? What kind of biological, mutant, gun has "hands" ? Sometimes, or should I say MOST times, the media, and the government just does not get it!) A false safety It seems simple enough to require that handguns sold in the United States have gun locks. Yet, last week the House of Representatives voted 230-191 to bar using federal funds to enforce the law that was passed only last year as part of a law to shield gun makers from reckless lawsuits. It is now up to the Senate. Touting locks as a way to reduce accidental gun deaths among children, Sarah Brady of the Brady Campaign, a gun-control organization, immediately responded to the House vote by saying, "as a mother, this makes me ill." But despite the obvious feel-good appeal of these rules, gun locks and safe-storage laws are more likely to cost lives than to save them.(It may make the people who are afraid of firearms 'feel' safer, but they won't actually 'be' safer. In Canada, a firearm does NOT have to be in storage 24 hours a day. You can remove it from storage, for any reason you wish. To clean it, or even to simply put it on a table, and admire it. You can also legally discharge a firearm in your own home in self defence. Are you suffering break-ins in your area? load the shotgun, and store it beside your bed at night. Your only other choice of course it to 'unlock, load, dial 911' IN THAT ORDER!!) Gun merchants split on rule changes The proposed scrapping of Canada's controversial long-gun registry will trigger an increase in sales, some gun-shop owners predict. But other gun merchants say they aren't getting too fired up over the coming legislation, as Parliament won't vote until this fall on the bill to end what has become a widely despised agency. Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day has introduced a government bill that would no longer require owners to register shotguns, hunting rifles and other long-barrelled guns. A handgun ban will remain in effect. "The long-gun sales will go up, because people won't be afraid of buying one or two," says Kelly Abram, owner of the Smoking Gun FX store in Coquitlam, B.C. "The fear factor should be gone." Coalition for Gun Control president Wendy Cukier says abolishing the registration of rifle and shotguns "endangers the security of all." "It will make it easier for criminals, cop killers and abusive men to get access to guns," Cukier said in a statement. "A rifle or a shotgun in the wrong hands kills just as dead as a shotgun."????(Words from wacky Wendy) Law enforcement officials say the gun registry is consulted 5,000 times each day by police across the country. (Why don't they give up this lie? The vast majority of the public now KNOWS this is bullshit! 5000 hit a day are 'behind the scene, automatic hits by CPIC, that in 99% of the cases, the police officer is not even aware the counter is being 'ticked up' on the registry, because his or her query had nothing to do with firearms!.. All in all, the number of guns sold will increase a bit. But, until the simple ownership of a firearm is no longer a criminal offence that requires a "licence" as a defence the CPC is just blowing smoke! I simply can't believe that Stockwell Day does not know the difference between a "licence" and the "A Certificate Screening System for those that wish to aquire firearms legally" that the CPC PROMISED and AGREED TO at the Montreal CPC Policy convention) CLICK HERE to watch the Penn & Teller 'Bullshit' exposé of PETA Telling it like it 'really' is | |||||||||||||||||||||||
