The Left Lies About Good Guys With Guns

This meme is a lie!

This meme is a complete lie. But then the left has never had any compunction about doing that. I believe it was Adolph Hitler in Mein Kampf who said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” This idea that the ends justify the means is the cornerstone of the progressive agenda for bringing the USA to full socialism. These people do all the time.

I can name you several right off the top of my head.

1. San Antonio Mayan Theater shooter  - guy entered a theater bent on killing his girlfriend and anyone who got in his way. He wounded two before an off-duty copy who was carrying shot him and put an end to the would-be shoot-em-up. Doesn't count as a good man with a gun because he prevented any from being killed.
2. Ft. Smith AK shooter - shot and killed an 86 year old woman. A resident of the apartment complex retrieved his rifle, shot and killed the attacker.
3. The Sutherland Springs Texas church shooter - Neighbor chases mass shooter responsible for 20 deaths and 26 wounded and shoots him before he can carry out plans to attack another site.
   
4. The White Settlement Texas Church shooter - Church's security team takes out shooter. One volunteer church security team member loses his life. When the scene ended several church members were on their feet with weapons drawn and pointed correctly.
   
5. New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO - Armed volunteer security guard takes out the heavily armed bad guy before he could get inside the church.
6. Moore OK rampage, knife attack and beheading kills one and wounds another. Attacker shot dead by off-duty cop who was carrying.
   
7. Garland Texas terrorists stopped cold by armed police protectors (good guys with guns)..
   
8. Price Middle School in Atlanta, Georgia, shooter captured and disarmed.
   
9. Blanchard, OK mom stopped armed home invaders, 
10. 2012 Florida Internet Cafe - armed 71 year old foiled violent robbery,
    
11. 69 year old Georgia grandmother stops home invaders, 
12. Armed 14 year old saves self and siblings from home invaders, 
13. Pregnant Ashtabula, OH mother of two opens fire on two home invaders, 
14. Media Madhouse in Indiana - armed employee saves two employees and a store full of customers and shot the robber. 
15. 72 year-old Jan Cooper saves her self and her 85 year old husband by scaring off an armed thug who tried to rob their home with her 357 magnum, Ft. Smith Arkansas apartment resident stops mass shooting in their apartment complex.

And that's a few. There are a lot more unstatisticized examples where bad gays get counted as poor poor victims by the gun lobby.

All of these incidents are thoroughly documented in my book "Give Guns a Chance" available on Amazon.  And those in the gun control lobby document few if any of these incidents where the bad guys are frightened away with any sort of context. And, heaven forbid that the criminal is shot and killed. The gun lobby counts defense against criminals as gun deaths - PERIOD. They do not document that the criminal was killed by a good guy with a gun. Instead the criminal goes down in those statistic as a tragic "gun death" without context. If you merely shoot one in the knees, it goes down as "gun violence."

The system is rigged that way, so don't buy the statistics without examining how the data was collected. Look at the context. In my graduate studies in psychology, I learned that statistics can be manipulated if you are not careful how you collect the data. Or, data can be manipulated if you want to guarantee an outcome that suits your ideology. 

As Benjamin Disraeli aptly put it more than a century ago....

A Very Educational Holiday

Gun Rights Advocates Didn't Do It!

Craig Stephen Hicks who, in February this year, murdered 3 Muslim students, describes himself as a supporter of “Atheists for Equality”. In a statement, Mr. Hicks blasted “radical Christians and radical Muslims" and blamed them for for causing all the strife in the world.

Now we find our that the man's a left wing liberal! Who saw that coming?

Well, probably every conservative out there who clings to his guns and religion saw it coming. There's a reason for that even if you manage to overlook the tendency of leftists to violence given the Marxist slaughter of hundreds of millions of people over the past century. As a little exercise, let's look at five of the worst mass shootings in recent history:

1.  Ft Hood: Registered Democrat/Muslim.
2.  Columbine: The boys were too young to vote, however, both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals.
3.  Virginia Tech: This guy wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff.
4.  Colorado Theater: This guy was a real true-believer, a registered Democrat, staff worker on the Obama campaign, Occupy Wall Street participant and progressive liberal. 
5.  Connecticut School Shooter: Registered Democrat; hated Christians.

Odd. Not a single right-wing Christian conservative gun nut in the lot. Admit it, now. You all groaned when you heard the news that some guy had shot some Muslim kids and the first thing you thought was, "Oh, no, it's a radical conservative gun nut! Now they're going to start in on us again!" It probably took a while for you to find out that this guy wasn't a Tea Party conservative. The media kind of went low key on that bit of information. Now they're calling for the government to take guns away from Americans again. I have a better idea.

I think that we should only take guns away from liberals! It's becoming increasingly evident that they can't control their impulse to mass murder.  Hey, it's a gun control idea I could get behind.
