And still we
wonder if the usual suspects among the
progressive political class will ever abandon fantasies of grabbing absolute
power and actually admit that each and every individual in the United States
has the right of self-protection, with very, very few alterations along the
way. But don't hold your breath on that
one.
Hillary Clinton, drinking from the same trough of hysterics the Democrats slobber over every time multiple shooting deaths and injuries occur, demands action and intends, if president, to hold gun manufacturers liable for mayhem (and drive them out of business, the real goal) caused using their firearms. Nowhere, it appears, does she mention holding suspects, dead or alive, responsible for their actions this time around on the political trail, as if they have nothing to do with their actions. Instead, blame the equipment, not the perpetrator.
Similarly,
megalomaniac New York governor and fellow progressive bonkers Democrat Andrew
Cuomo, who probably continues to harbor fond, yet utterly and laughably
hopeless delusions of presidential aspirations, thought it would be neat and
keen if congressional Democrats held the budget hostage until something was
done about gun control.
The Obama
bunch? Hey, what d'ya expect from
something uncomfortably Marxist-like?
Old story there.
Despite my
gun-related blog chatter over the years, I'm not big into firearms (believe it
or not) -- but I fully appreciate why they exist and why a free society needs
and craves them. Most mass killings by
guns in this country in recent years seem focused upon the pride of the
Democrats known as "gun-free" zones.
These are college classrooms, movie theaters and the like where
primarily Democrat leadership has determined that such places shall be clearly
labeled as such, even though there is always a remote possibility that they
will become shooting galleries, and indeed they have morphed into that very
thing.
As victims'
families cry and grieve, progressive lawmakers always materialize with words of
sympathy and promises that "something" will be done, and that
"something" may consistently be interpreted as taking away guns a
little at a time until there are no more guns in the hands of the people and
the Second Amendment's intent becomes twisted and perverted into oblivion. The result wished for is to give government
more power over us as our own guaranteed rights fade into a very, very red
sunset.
While one demonstrated and proven ass of a president bathes endlessly in what he believes to be his high ruling
intellect, ripping the country apart with Executive Orders and incoming hordes
of questionably deadly refugee populations and illegal aliens of unknown ilk,
Hillary plays the gun card, alluding in the long term to deprive Americans of
the weaponry we may desperately need at some future time. Hillary, the president and even
wannabes like NY Governor Cuomo play dumb, but even they must realize that the
purpose of the Second Amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with hunting in
the woods. It is about
maintaining a state of readiness in case one's government turns on the people
-- and if you think that's nuts, I remind one and all that World War II and the
Nazis' murderous genocide of the unarmed and unprepared happened only a few
decades, not hundreds of years, ago, and the ability of leadership to go rogue
or collapse into chaos is as real as ever.
Never, never sacrifice something as deceptively simple as gun rights to
legislators anywhere. They won't stop
there. They never stop there.
Two separate
tragedies fell upon that small community college in Oregon. First, the dead and injured. Second, the Democrats' race to national
microphones and TV cameras to make political hay, blaming everybody and
everything except the shooter, who conveniently removed himself from the story merely
by exiting the scene in a blast of cowardice.
Maybe Hillary should campaign instead for laws to require individuals
bent upon a suicidal rage to shoot themselves in the head first, before they
take the lives of others. Since many of
these lunatics appear to harbor some allegiance toward the liberal (not, not,
not the Tea Party) side of politics, laws of that nature might just work.

Live starring Hillary Clinton:
So, was anybody surprised last Saturday?
News, entertainment, theater -- it's all the same beast, folks, the same
beast from a global hive of beasts.
