Disarming the harmless to further empower the Fascist Far-Left

 D. Parker has an excellent post today at the American Thinker entitled The Hamas terror attacks shattered the gun control "safety" myth.

Have you noticed that the ghouls of the gun grabber lobby have been awfully quiet the past few days? These cynical control freaks who are all too ready and willing to exploit other people’s pain for their political gain would normally be coming out of the woodwork with all the ‘gun violence’ going on, citing the mass Hamas attack in Israel.

Why has it only been crickets from the gun confiscation crowd?

Despite perceptions, Israel was a dream state for these people. Israel had strict controls on guns, and the people’s common sense civil right of self-defense. That made it nearly a Utopia for the likes of groups with names like Mom’s Demanding Civilian Disarmament in Everytown and Brady United Against Your Second Amendment Right to Own A Gun.

Gun-grabbers are usually out in full force with their astroturf t-shirts, working hand in glove with the national socialist media to push for the next great achievement whenever there is a mass shooting. Remember, we’re always one more ‘gun safety’ measure from Utopia, one more ratcheting of the straps of authoritarianism around Lady Liberty from being free from ‘gun violence.’ That’s the gun control safety carrot that is always dangling a little way away, with the next step to safety just out of reach.

The serious problem for the fascist far left and the gun grabber lobby in particular is that the Hamas terror attacks have shattered the gun control ‘safety’ myth.

Despite all the strict controls over the innocent and harmless of Israeli society, these did nothing to protect the people. Taking away a person’s commonsense civil rights never works, and yet the ghouls of the gun grabber lobby persist in demanding it.

Yet, the notion that somehow it is the guns, and not the people with the intent to do harm, that do the violence and killing remains strong in the fascist far left. We have ample evidence that when people have guns and training to protect themselves, there is less loss of life in an attack. Yet the left persists in this crazy philosophy.

Gun control or gun safety or whatever is the poll-tested buzzword, is built upon the seemingly insane premise that taking guns away from the harmless will somehow, some way have some mysterious fifth-order effect on terrorists and criminals.

All of this control against innocent folks is supposed to have some magical effect on the bad guys and gals through some mysterious phenomena that is supposedly only understood by the gun-grabbers.

One senses that Parker is reaching for something here, some sort of an unspoken theory that makes logical sense, because the theory on its face is ridiculous. You cannot hope to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists by regulating the law abiding. It is right in the name, criminals.  Criminals do not obey laws by definition.  I have been saying the same thing for years. Mountains of evidence prove it. Yet the fascist far left persists. Why?

Anti-liberty authoritarians could care less about actually solving the problem of ‘gun violence.’ It’s an issue that is just a convenient excuse for them to disarm and disempower their political opponents. Anyone with half a brain should realize this. These measures will do nothing to ‘reduce violence’ or keep anyone safe easily confirmed by a perusal of recent history to quickly prove the point.

They don’t care about criminals and terrorists having guns because they only have a marginally negative effect on their plans. They prefer crime and chaos because it helps them assert control and engenders more dependency on the part of the people.

Let us be clear, despite some people on the pro-freedom side using the atrocious and ridiculous phrase ‘anti-gunner,’ the gun-grabbing ghouls of the fascist far left absolutely love guns - but only in their hands. They are perfectly happy when their people have them. A prime example of this phenomenon is the armed thugs of the colectivos (or collectives) of the far-left Venezuela authoritarian regime of Nicolás Maduro. That is a quasi-governmental arm used to suppress dissent and maintain order.

They’ve kept quiet this week because they don’t want to remind anyone of their massively dangerous and deadly failures in the Middle East. They’ve kept quiet because once again, sensible people are questioning the wisdom of depriving the harmless of their common-sense civil rights.

So, gun control has never been about safety, or preventing so-called "gun violence." That was just the bait, as in bait and switch As we have seen in Israel, it doesn't make anyone safer, and in fact makes them more vulnerable. After all, what if the terrorists had to factor in a rifle behind every window of every home. Rather, what gun control has always been about is disarming the harmless to further empower the fascist far left.
