Does Gun Control Even Work?

France has crazy strong gun control… experienced a mass shooting on Tuesday.  “Chekatt had been radicalized in prison and was being monitored by French intelligence services since at least 2015 due to his suspected religious extremism. Authorities did not say which religion; however, supporters of the Islamic State terror group were celebrating the shooting online, according to the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi communications worldwide…Before opening fire on the Christmas market in Strasbourg on Tuesday, Chekatt, 29, yelled “Allahu Akbar,” Paris’ public prosecutor said. Chekatt escaped the scene in a taxi.”  Another interesting fact is that France has had more deaths from mass shootings than the US had during the entire presidency of Obama. [1].  How odd.  Their gun laws are more strict than California and Chicago.  While French gun ownership is estimated to be around 19 per 100 people.

England has a higher per capita crime rate than America.  Per 1,000 people, England is rank 2nd in the world at 109 per 1,000; while America is 41 per 1,000 (22nd in the world) [2].  In murders, England is 6.6 per 1,000; while America is 5.6 per 1,000 [3].  The crime of assault victims, or people who claim to be a victim of assault, England is 2.8% percent, while America is 1.2% [4].   Hu, that’s interesting because England as crazy struct Gun Control laws… but that doesn’t seem to phase criminals.  And their gun ownership is roughly 4.6 to 5 per 100.

Finland, Switzerland and Norway have very high gun ownership.  Finland is 32 per 100 people and Norway has 28 per 100 people.  Switzerland has 27.6 per 100.  Guess what their gun violence is like? [7][8]  Finland homicide rate is 0.028 per 1,000!  Switzerland homicide rate is 1 per 1,000!  Norway homicide rate is 0.6 per 1,000!  WHAT?  How is this possible if they (1) have a high firearm ownership, and (2) have lax gun control laws???  Yep, you guessed it, GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE!  People kill people.  A culture and a society that devalues human life does.

Can Gun Control Laws Reduce Murder?

Well, when we look at this globally,  France and England point us to an obvious answer.  NO.  Because if the laws themselves did, France and England would have different numbers;  the fact is, they have worse numbers than America.  They have more crime per capita, a lower gun ownership, AND stricter gun control laws.  But let us look at this from a domestic perspective.

California is number one in the nation for Gun Control laws [8].  Since they have done such an amazing job restricting their citizens from gun ownership, how well does that translate in their crime stats?  As of 2016, they are at 90 per 1,000 of violent crime and has been fairly steady over the past decade or so.  That is almost as much as England’s TOTAL CRIMES per capita.  Here’s the kicker, The firearm homicide rate, which adjusts for population changes, increased by 15 percent from 2014 to 2016. [9]  How can it increase when they are the strictest?  Lets look even deeper into a City with the absolute strictest gun control.

Chicago is so bad, there is even a website called https://heyjackass.com/ that tracks the violence in that city.  A person is shot EVERY 2:55 minutes and murdered ever 14 minutes in Chicago!  They BANNED handguns in the city limits from 1982 until 2010 when the Supreme Court had to rule their ban unconstitutional (McDonald vs. City of Chicago).  Then in 2012, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Illinois concealed carry ban as unconstitutional.  The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence rated Chicago as rank 8 IN THE NATION for their gun control laws.  From 1982 to 2012, people could not conceal carry.  How was their crime rate during the all out ban?  They averaged 500 to 600 homicides a year! During the Ban!! [10]

What does all this mean?

So when we look at it from a city perspective, state perspective and from a global perspective we see the truth about a couple things:

1. More gun ownership does NOT cause more crime.
   1. Finland, Switzerland and Norway = high gun ownership, has low crime.  Relaxed gun laws, and has low crime.
2. More gun control does NOT reduce crime.
   1. California and Chicago = lower gun ownership, still has high crime.  Strict gun control laws, still has high crime.

What is the cause for gun violence and high crime?

A culture of violence, undisciplined, and devaluation of human life.  Finland, Switzerland and Norway have a high standard of living and high cultural morals.  They see weapons as essential for defense and national sovereignty; as WWII showed these nations.  America on the other hand are spoiled, undisciplined, immature adults that no longer have the same value for life as it once did.  They are so spoiled that they are losing the notion that weapons are essential for defense and national sovereignty.

England shows that you can take away all the guns, but you will still have murder just the same.  France still has mass shootings.  California has continuous crime despite strict laws.  Chicago’s homicide rate stayed the same during the unconstitutional gun ban.

What About New York?

They like to point to their strict gun control laws and the reduction in homicides.  What they DON’T tell you is that these low rates, were just as low in 1960 and all the decades prior.  PRIOR to ANY modern gun control law.  AND during that time, they had a higher gun ownership rate as well.  [11]  THIS only supports the idea of American societal progression of a violence culture.  The historic spike in homicides is not due to guns but due to the cultural trend of morality.

It doesn’t matter if there were 1 gun control law or 50,000 or even a flat out gun ban… criminals don’t obey the laws.

What do Gun Control Laws Do?

Criminals will find guns (see France and Chicago during the gun ban).  Does it make it harder for them to get?  Is it hard for drug addicts to attain illegal drugs?  NOPE.  If they want it, they will find it.  BUT those who do try to obey the laws, THEY will be restricted from gun ownership.  NON-Criminals, law abiding citizens face the complexity and frustrations of attempting purchase weapons for self defense.  THEY face the restriction of their FREEDOM.

If people want to kill, they will either find a way to get a gun OR just use another tool; like a knife for example.  England is proof of this as well [12].  Violence with a knife has increased by 22% across England! “the biggest annual increase ever recorded…Almost 40,000 offenses involving knives or sharp weapons were recorded by police in the year”  See, they don’t need guns.  They have kitchen knives.

We aren’t even touching on how many times a good guy with a gun has stopped a criminal with a gun.  A study conducted by Gary Kleck, Ph.D. is a professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Florida State University in Tallahassee found that “American civilians use their firearms as often as 2.5 million times every year defending against a confrontation with a criminal, and that handguns alone account for up to 1.9 million defenses per year.”  [13].  If they did not have a superior tool for self defense, that would have made more than 1.9 million victims of crimes…

So what?

Exactly.  Gun Control advocates won’t even listen to these facts; whats the point?  Politicians don’t care about these facts either.  Ignorant, or 2nd Amendment hating voters, don’t care about these facts and the logic behind it.  They hate guns, and hate you for owning them.  To them, you are a potential murderer anyway.  The intolerance and judgementalism of gun owners is amazing.   But it goes both ways.

Those who enjoy their right to self defense are cowards in America; just like those in France and England.  As their ability to defend against violence has been reduced; this is becoming even more true for Americans.  No one stands up and fights back.  When gun control advocates open their ignorant mouths, most gun rights advocates tend to be more quite.  THAT ISN’T WORKING.  The silence of gun owners is failing America and allowing the ignorance of Gun Control spread like a wild fire.

Either sell your guns and STFU or grab your weapon and TAKE A STAND.

Conservatives, Your Protests Have Gone Nowhere

Let’s face it, your nice and sweet peaceful protests have done absolutely thing. You protest abortion, and guess what, millions of babies are still killed every year. You protest Gun Control, and guess what, laws that infringe on the 2nd Amendment keep growing. It’s a nice show to put on with big names, but in actuality, it does not change anything.

Remember the Tea Party Protests in the early 2000s? What happened. Well, quite frankly, they didn’t change anything. Look at where America is today. What did they change? The party they overwhelmingly support lost the House and is on the verge of losing the Senate. “Oh but they got Trump elected” some might try to argue, but what has his influence done to abortion and gun control? Nothing. In fact, he supports Gun Control laws lol. “Oh but Trump will get to nominate traditionalist Supreme Court justices” they might also try to argue, but how has that turned out? Not good. The latest Supreme Court decision has opened the door for even more limitations on religious institutions, not to mention their avoidance of cases that would effect the police state and abortion.

Look at the large gun rights rally in Virginia in 2019. They were so peaceful and so compliant they managed to get the state of Virginia to pass even more Gun Control laws after the rally. III%s and Oath Keepers were all there, and, what did they help with? Nothing.

We still have troops in Iraq, and Afghanistan fighting this endless war that has nothing to do with YOUR freedom here. Instead these endless wars take away fathers, mothers, and your children from their families and sends them overseas to fight for someone else’s’ imposed “freedom” while you sit at home and have to worry about getting robbed, shot, stabbed, or find a job because the government declared you as non-essential. How are those parent-less homes working out for America?

Then, some of you (the peaceful republican protestors) condemn the more aggressive protesting (not talking about the looters) as of recent, such as the Black Lives Matters protests (again, not talking about the looters). Yet, THOSE protests have yielded more fruit than your “conservative, patriotic” protests. Police departments are under heavy scrutiny and facing some federal bills and potential more oversight. Cities and states have taken steps in changing their practices. Those protests have yielded fruit! Their mission is being more successful.

Aggressive protesting IS PATRIOTIC! Study the actions of the colonialist before the revolution. Study the Civil Rights Movement. THOSE were effective fruitful protests, not yours.

Your single party loyalty is pathetic and shameful. Your tribalism is part of the problem.

You preach “Vote Red” and get “conservative” politicians like Mitt Romney elected year after year. Quite honestly, most Republicans are BIG GOVERNMENT politicians. Which Republican didn’t impose some sort of Bill of Rights restriction (and still) during the COVID-19 fearmongering? Then, you try to justify the suspension of the Bill of Rights in an attempt to support your Red candidate…

You are no different than people who are against racism who vote for racist candidates (Democrat voters and Joe Biden). You claim to be for liberty and freedom but then vote for candidates that will declare you as non-essential and impose limitations to your rights. You support Police… who enforce Gun Control laws and enforce the Stay-at-home orders…

And if you unlike and unfollow us on social media because of rebukes likes this, that just proves you are the one close minded to the reality that you are part of the problem. Please do some self reflection.

Why aren’t you voting for people to demand a balanced budget amendment and national debt reduction? It’s almost like you enjoy all the government subsidies and handouts too. Your dependence on the federal government makes you a BIG GOVERNMENT supporter too.

Why are you protesting? What are you protesting? Who are you protesting?

Your police pals need to be protesting WITH YOU.

Your friends and family in the National Guard need to be protesting WITH YOU.

You need to be protesting at the door steps of the problem, all day, everyday, until REAL change happens. “But we have jobs” cool, good, then protest after work. And if it is a real concern for you, if the lives of babies are really that important to you, take some days off of work. Bring your community together, share resources, and cause change.

Your show-boat protesting is useless and invalid.

Oohhh scary you bring rifles with you to your peaceful Hawaiian shirt protests. What are you going to do with those rifles? Nothing. You will even let the police disarm you and arrest you, which has been happening. You show up to businesses that are not complying with the order to close (as they should, not comply) during COVID-19 armed, and then the police show up and arrest everyone lol. What was the point of that? It’s all a show. A show that isn’t causing any real change.

You wave around flags that say “Come and Take It” and “Don’t Tread On Me” but they, the police, whom you support, do just that, tread all over you and come and take your guns lol. And you do nothing. You obey and comply rendering your entire protest invalid lol.

Either stfu with your hypocritical useless peaceful protesting or actually take a principled stand on something.

2nd Amendment Case Law

The Chronological case law of the 2nd Amendment.  Where the courts got it wrong, and took away freedom, and where they got it right, and empowered a free people; since 1857 all the way to the present and pending cases today.

The Moral Issues of the 2nd Amendment

The Constitution explicitly protects it, a unalienable right.  It is the first thing suppressed by all major tyrannical governments throughout history.  Even the most honored, respected, religious leaders command it;  why?

Proof of What Government Is Capable Of (NSFW)

All the following images are events that took place under the approval and authority of the ruling government of that time:

How can anyone vote for massive government and more and more taxes?

This is a pretty mind blowing question.  How can ANYONE willingly desire more government in their life and more taxes that will naturally trickle down and effect them… Somewhere down the line, there is an educational, rational, illogical, ignorant disconnect from history, human nature, and reality.

Bank of Anti-America

A friend of mine received a letter from Bank of America informing him that they would no longer process transactions for his business, without real warning.  He owns a local firearms store.  He was able to find another local bank to assist, luckily, but it made me think about dick move by Bank of America.

Accused of being Republican?

If you think by being anti-socialist, anti-big government, pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, and pro-freedom of religion; we are then Republican by default, you are blind to your collectivist indoctrination.  We are not loyal to one party, or even a two party system.  Our loyalty is to life and freedom, and whomever advocates for these the best, no matter what political party they are a member of.  Mind blowing, hu.  Its hard to imagine not voting roboticily like an ignorant slave.

Dear National Rifle Association,

This letter is from a couple past and present NRA members.  First it is important to point out that Gun Owners of America are better gun rights advocates than you.  It is interesting to note that you did not file a lawsuit against the bump stock ban like other gun rights groups did.  Are you guys even filing suit against New Jersey’s “high capacity” magazine ban?  What are you guys doing about Red Flag laws, that take away due process and revoke 2nd Amendment rights?  PBS published an article titled “NRA has backed more state gun laws…”  and after reading through the article they failed to actually present support for their claim… (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/nra-has-backed-most-state-gun-laws-passed-since-sandy-hook).  But what we can’t help but to notice is your actual LACK of action… or even support for other gun rights groups taking action…  

Does Gun Control Even Work?

France has crazy strong gun control… experienced a mass shooting on Tuesday.  “Chekatt had been radicalized in prison and was being monitored by French intelligence services since at least 2015 due to his suspected religious extremism. Authorities did not say which religion; however, supporters of the Islamic State terror group were celebrating the shooting online, according to the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi communications worldwide…Before opening fire on the Christmas market in Strasbourg on Tuesday, Chekatt, 29, yelled “Allahu Akbar,” Paris’ public prosecutor said. Chekatt escaped the scene in a taxi.” 

New Jersey Hates Your Rights

While it is just a logical fact that criminals do not follow laws and there are more “gun free” zones all over New Jersey, the only safe place is in your home, for now. Why? because criminals (or people who want to defend themselves, now deemed criminals) will now have “high capacity” magazines OR a ton of “lower” capacity magazines and just quickly reload in the “gun free” zones. Either, they hate your rights to defend yourself against tyranny; or the officials the citizens of New Jersey elected are morons and ignorant of statistics and logic.

Free to Boycott

Boycotting seems like it would be anti-freedom, but that is quite the opposite.  We are FREE to boycott and no one can force us to purchase something from someone unnecessarily.  Boycotting is also a form or protest and can be a tool use against those who are anti-freedom.  We have compiled a list of Business that we hope other freedom loving Americans would avoid.

Californians Are Tools

Its mind-blowing to see all the laws that California is passing.  Kinda expected.  But what is MORE mind-blowing is how no one over there is really doing anything about it.  They have become one of the largest Mommy-Daddy state; where they direct the choices of their peon citizens in all kinds of aspects of life.  Every city in Californian just dictates your “freedoms” not even accounting for the State Laws looking over your shoulder.

Red Flag Laws

Giving the power to psychologist (some of whom are politically affiliated) and the Government to take away the ultimate form of self-defense… sounds like a good idea, when it comes to MAYBE, Potentially, HOPEFULLY, having some kind of impact on the small number of mass shootings nation wide.  Saving just One life by risking the lives (taking away their ability to defend themselves) of others, sounds like a worthy cause, right?  Besides all the logical and rational inconsistencies, lets just look at the idea of the ‘transfer of power’ concept contained in these laws.

DEFEND OUR CHILDREN

Why is defending our children rocket science?

Laws are in place.  Schools are gun free zones.  But why are the schools themselves still defenseless?

What are we NOT doing, that can be done, to REALLY protect our Children in school?

How come we don’t model protecting our Children off how we protect our politicians, celebrities, courts, and money?  Are politicians, celebrities, courts, and money more valuable than our children?

Why Most Gun Control Advocates Don’t Get It

A lot of these high schoolers, liberal arts college grads, unmarried, childless, government dependent, emostionalistic voters fail to get and in many ways can not understand is WHY gun owners refuse to just ‘give up’ their guns.  Most of them can’t figure out why anyone wants to or needs to own a gun in the first place.  I a country that pampers them and has provided for all their needs its is hard to imagine why.  When their worst day is a first world problem and the feeling of being poor amounts to not having enough to buy your fave venti latte from Starbucks.  Godforbid they had to eat Ramon noodles in college, oh the inhumanity.  Getting off topic.  So to spell it out for all the brainwashed, ignorant and self righteous gun controlers/grabbers: This is WHY AMERICANS have guns.

It’s Almost Time to Really Think About It

As more and more young tide pod eating children, indoctrinated by public schools, public media, and colleges, are flooding the to the polls to vote;  they will vote for politicians who are now openly calling for ever more limited 2nd amendment right and some even an all out repeal of the 2nd Amendment its self: it is almost that time to really think about; whether or not you will hand over your firearms if/when that time comes.

No One Wants to Take Your Guns, We Just Want to Take Guns.

That is one of those cute things you say to people to avoid the real agenda.  Kinda like when your wife asks “does this make me look fat”.  There is only one answer a husband should give.  Here the citizens are asking “are you trying to take our guns away from us?” and of course Gun Control advocates respond with “no”.  BUT what is really happening?

We Don’t Need Guns, We Have The Police

I guess we don’t need fire extinguishers either because we have firefighters.  This is extremely poor logic and ignorance supported by a sheepish mentality for gun control.

Why Does Anyone Need An AR-15?

WTF is it to you?  Why do you need a large SUV instead of a Mini-van?  One could potentially kill more people than the other (and cars do kill more people than guns).  I think YOU should buy something that I feel more comfortable with.  WTF am I to tell you what kind of car you should buy?  WTF are you to tell me how I should protect myself and my family?
