Title: How Do We Protect Ourselves From Guns?
Post by: Elderberry on August 28, 2019, 01:39:22 am: Mike the Gun Guy 8/26/2019

This happens to be the question which at the moment appears to be driving the 2020 campaign. Even the noisemakers who are promoting Trump seem to think that he can only help himself renew the lease at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue if he comes out with a legislative package that will at least appear to contain some kind of gun-control ideas.

Now it comes as no surprise that The [failing] New York Times is urging passage of a gun-control bill. Big frickinâ€™ deal (to quote Trumpâ€™s use of a time-honored expletive right out of any barroom in Queens.) But when The New York Post runs a lead editorial which tells Trump to make gun control Priority Number One, thatâ€™s not just a horse of a different color, itâ€™s a different animal altogether and shouldnâ€™t be dismissed out of hand.

The last time I looked, the two ideas which appear to have the best chance of winding up on the Presidentâ€™s desk are a â€˜red flagâ€™ law, which just about everyone seems to feel will make some bit of difference to controlling the carnage even though no doubt there will be the usual whining about giving the courts the ability to â€˜steamrollâ€™ the Bill of Rights.

Keep in mind they want to ban body armor, too. So they are after the active means of defense (a gun) and the passive means of defense (armor, at least enough to stop a 9mm).

Bottom line is that TPTB want the sheep helpless.

I ain't gonna go there.

Needs to change his name to Mike the anti gun guy.
