Because the attacks are rare and reported when they happen. Not one chance in hell a armed attack on a public figure is going to happen and the leftist anti-gun media is going to ignore it and not report on it.
True. There may be 137 of them hiding under your bed and in your closet as I write this. The good news is even they aren't attacking anyone.
You DO realize how hard it is to prove a negative,right?
Those of us who are conservative should not be so quick to jump on the anti-gun bandwagon by exaggerating perceived dangers when these attacks are so rare they happen maybe once every decade.
Oh, no jumping on an antigun bandwagon (not ever), and I have always been anti-liberal, so what's a mutha to do?
HorseHillary! There ARE attacks made by Muslims every day. They just aren't widely reported because the media is generally pro-immigration and anti-American. Granted,most aren't with firearms,but none the less there are Muslim verbal and physical attacks against non-Muslims every day in this country.
Precisely why we won't know how many liberal nutcases are out there wreaking their small scale havoc from day to day. Most of the gibsmedats vote Liberal, regardless of their cultural affiliation. They know where their bread comes from. How many shootings and other serious crimes are really just manifestations of Liberal hate writ in blood? We'll never know, because only one segment of the population is susceptible to committing a "hate crime", the rest are absolved in advance by the media.
True,but almost all of them are going to wait for the government to attack the government for them. It's a "the nature of the beast" thing.
There is more than one way to skin a cat, so they attack people supportive of the government instead, knowing full well that gives them a layer of protection from reprisal or consequence. The government is busy, full of sympathetic people, and less likely to strike back than if the government was directly attacked.
I am. It IS going to happen eventually. Politics demands it. Politicians fire up hatred towards their opponents in order to fire up their voters to go to the polls to vote for them,and this increases the hatred and mistrust because the voters and their extended families. It's the old "divide and conquer" strategy and it's popular because it works. We have a large segment of today's population that is convinced the country owes them a comfortable,and even luxurious living just because they were born. They have been led to believe this and trained to expect it,and now they are being manipulated to riot and attack (mostly) whites if someone even suggests their "free stuff" is going to be reduced.
Guess what? One day the "free stuff" WILL stop showing up because the system will go broke and there will be no money to provide it. That is the day the system starts to come apart.
You may well be right, if they cannot be weaned of their dependencies. I don't think even that would go smoothly, because the expectations of those on the 'plantation' are pretty high. That is a distortion brought about by television. What? no granite countertops, no hardwood floors, no gold plated fixtures? Who would live like that? Drive an old Chevrolet instead of a new Escalade? say whaaat? Only on television ...
I'm not,either. I doubt many people are,but this is no reason to buy into it and imagine the current situation to be worse than it is. All that does is help your enemy.
i don't think I am making out things to be worse than they are.
I'm a regular bleeping Pollyanna.
I have noticed that the "Community Organizer" we had in office didn't organize MY community. Instead billions of dollars were funneled into someone elses' communities, ACORNed out to swarms of organizations and foundations (and skimmed, doubtless), but still money sent around, along with free phones with apps to organize more on. They have already been used to orchestrate robberies, looting, riots, and protests, along with the internet (we aren't the only ones using it). The framework is in place, through a multitude of different organizations. While
Fast and Furious was going on, there was another operation being conducted by the BATF which got little press, even on the internet: Operation gangwalker, conducted in Indiana and possibly elsewhere, where following the mold of gunwalker on the Mexican Border, guns were sold to straw buyers for gangs. I don't have any information on how many, but I'd just about bet some of those have shown up in Chicago...
Not all of the guns bought during the Obama years were bought by Conservatives.
We do know police have been targeted, we know now that Congressmen aren't off the dance card, unless they are Democrats, and that may get worse.
Sure, we can blame the media and the "entertainment" industry for much of the frothing at the mouth enmity that is out there, and it seems that even they have begun to believe their spiel, but unfortunately, a lot of people have been brainwashed by the rhetoric. They say it without ever having given a thought to what the words mean. Things like "economic justice" or "social justice" or 'environmental justice" and phrases like the 1%ers or 'the rich white man', roll out of their mouths without effort, because they have been conditioned to think in those terms, however meaningless they might be or however nonsensical the concepts are in real life.
I figure I'll be ready as I will be, and deal with what I have to deal with, same as any day.
