Guns don’t kill people. Criminals do.

We’ve come to a point in America where anything is possible, and sadly, that is no longer a positive.

Last week in Las Vegas dozens of humans were murdered while listening to music.

With all tragedy there is always speculation.  It is part of being human and many times can be helpful and even cathartic.

Sadly even this has been taken from our society because too few speak the truth, and facts stopped mattering, a long time ago.

We now have a destructive feedback loop that drones on and on through the press, our politicians, and social media.

The loop has returned to “gun control”.

I’m not really sure what to say to the Jimmy Kimmels of the world anymore other than find rock crawl back under.

Just for kicks I’ll try some facts AGAIN.

According to Medical News Today the top ten reasons Americans die are as follows.

Heart Disease.

Cancer.

Chronic lower respiratory disease.

Accidents.

Stroke.

Alzheimer’s.

Diabetes.

Influenza and pneumonia.

Kidney disease.

Suicide.

With the removal of Accidents and Suicide it appears Americans are eating, drinking, and drugging our way into the ground.

Not an “assault rifle” in sight.

The overwhelming amount of “accidents” that cause death in this country don’t have anything to do with guns.

They have to do with idiots who are intoxicated or high, that get behind thousands of pounds of steel and smash into other humans.

There’s the drinking and drugging again.

Finally we have suicide.  Let us again provide more facts.  Of all the deaths that have guns involved suicide reportedly makes up almost two-thirds.

That means that the overwhelming amount of deaths in America where a gun was used was a human doing it to themselves.

Of course the Stupid Human answer would be to outlaw all guns thereby forcing people to stop killing themselves.

Not quite.

You’d also have to outlaw all drugs and alcohol, knives, screwdrivers, sheets, towels, rope, shoe laces, shirts and pants, cliffs, bridges, fuel, etc.

Let us also not forget electricity and water.

Believe it or not (according to statistics) humans actually do kill themselves (on purpose) by jamming a utensil into a socket.  Furthermore they (according to statistics) do drown themselves in bathtubs as well as walk into large bodies of water.

Not only will we need to get rid of all our forks and spoons but someone needs to cordon off the West Coast and send the National Guard to all the lakes.

Do guns kill people?

Of course they don’t.  They don’t have the mental capacity otherwise we’d arrest them when they “go off”.

People kill people and have been doing so with sticks, stones, teeth, and hands for thousands of years.

A gun levels the field and gives the Individual a chance to survive against a larger predator, a group, or a Government.

It protects an old man’s choice to safely walk down the street and a woman’s God given right to not be abused, raped, or molested.

Guns protect the Truth and keep the wolves at bay.

Russia, China, Mexico, and Cuba all have strict gun laws.

I shouldn’t have to say anything else but for some FACTS will never be enough and they will continue to rail and shed crocodile tears while surrounded and protected by humans carrying guns.

Americans who are tired of this nonsense have made phrases like “from my cold dead hands” or Molon Labe, famous, but I’ll make it a little easier for the enemies of Truth.

The enemies of Freedom.

The enemies of America.

You won’t need to come and take them.

You just need to do one thing and then we will come to you.

Say when.

There will be nothing ripped from us because our hands will not be cold or dead.

The 2nd Amendment is the ultimate insurance policy and you can damn well bet our policy is paid in full.

American soldiers paid in Bastogne, Guadalcanal, and Bataan with their lives.

You aren’t taking our guns, our Rights, or our Country.

You know it.

I know it.

We all know it.

Put down the latte, get off your knees, and get ready to exit your safe space.

Participation in life is required to survive.

Trophy not included.
