Democrats Want You Dead

 At the American Thinker today Mike McDaniel has a post entitled Democrats really do want you dead. He ends the post with this:

Normal Americans want everyone, Democrats included, to have the ability to defend their lives, the lives of those they love and even strangers. Democrats want everyone, except their publicly funded security, disarmed. Normal Americans want mass murderers dead and fellow Americans alive. Democrats want mass murders to have free-fire zones and want Normal Americans dead.

What other result can their disarmament policies bring?

Indeed, what other conclusion can one draw? What D. Parker at the American Thinker calls "gun grabbing ghouls" have been after our guns since I was a youngster and probably before that as well. This despite the fact that gun control laws have not proven to stop a single shooting anywhere. Oh, and the police have no requirement to protect any individual. Rather, the police are there to protect and serve the public at large. But there are not enough police available to be everywhere all the time, and in any case the weapons they carry are for their own personal protection. As McDaniel notes:

The police would love to be able to stop a shooter, but even if they’re present, which was reportedly the case at Bondi Beach, they may do nothing which gave the killers a free-fire zone for from 10-20 minutes. At Uvalde, some 300 officers allowed a 70+ minute free fire zone. At Brown, they had no role in stopping the attack.

In any attack, someone must call the police. A dispatcher must assimilate the information and dispatch the call. Officers must race to the scene--if any are available. In some places, the nearest officer might be an hour away. When they arrive, they must orient themselves and close with the attacker or attackers without getting killed before they can do any good. And in all that time, unarmed innocents are dying. Or even worse, as happened at Bondi Beach, the police, who are rushing into a dangerously ambiguous situation, might shoot an innocent.

Normal Americans given this indisputable set of facts want willing citizens to go armed. They trust their fellow citizens with motor vehicles, which are far more deadly than guns. They’re willing to extend that trust to guns as well. Do away with gun-free zones, to be sure, but to deter attacks, and to limit damage when they occur, the only sane, effective solution is allowing honest Americans the means to save their own lives and the lives of others. If they’re present when an attack occurs, they know precisely who the good and bad guys are and they’re able to quickly end the attack.

Democrats see things very differently. Just as officials in Australia and Rhode Island did in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, American Democrats reflexively want to disarm Americans. Despite the failure of near-absolute gun-banning laws and regulations, they demand even more, and more punitive, anti-liberty/gun laws.

Taken together with the other policies of the Democrats such as defunding the police and releasing violent people to prey on normal Americans, one can only conclude that McDaniel is correct: Democrats want you dead.
