Gun Control is Worthless !
need guns. 2. Washington DC's low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict gun
control, and Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is due to the
lack of gun control. 3. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics
showing increasing murder rates after gun control are "just statistics." 4. The Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, both of which went into
effect in 1994 are responsible for the decrease in violent crime rates,
which have been declining since 1991. 5. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting
spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a
lunatic is paranoid. 6. The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals. 7. An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot
with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you. 8. A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking
gun and a dead rapist at her feet. 9. When confronted by violent criminals, you should "put up no defense -
give them what they want, or run" (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete
Shields, Guns Don't Die - People Do, 1981, p. 125). 10. The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about
guns; just like Guns & Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery. 11. One should consult an automotive engineer for safer seat belts, a civil
engineer for a better bridge, a surgeon for internal medicine, a computer
programmer for hard drive problems, and Sarah Brady for firearms expertise. 12. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1787, refers to the National Guard, which
was created 130 years later, in 1917. 13. The National Guard, federally funded, with bases on federal land, using
federally-owned weapons, vehicles, buildings and uniforms, punishing
trespassers under federal law, is a "state" militia. 14. These phrases: "right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of
the people to be secure in their homes," "enumerations herein of certain
rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people,"
and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states
respectively, and to the people" all refer to individuals, but "the right of
the people to keep and bear arms" refers to the state. 15. "The Constitution is strong and will never change." But we should ban
and seize all guns thereby violating the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments to
that Constitution. 16. Rifles and handguns aren't necessary to national defense! Of course, the
army has hundreds of thousands of them. 17. Private citizens shouldn't have handguns, because they aren't "military
weapons'', but private citizens shouldn't have "assault rifles'', because
they are military weapons. 18. In spite of waiting periods, background checks, fingerprinting,
government forms, etc., guns today are too readily available, which is
responsible for recent school shootings. In the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's,
anyone could buy guns at hardware stores, army surplus stores, gas stations,
variety stores, Sears mail order, no waiting, no background check, no
fingerprints, no government forms and there were no school shootings. 19. The NRA's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign about kids handling
guns is propaganda, but the anti-gun lobby's attempt to run a "don't touch"
campaign is responsible social activity. 20. Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them
properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy. 21. A handgun, with up to 4 controls, is far too complex for the typical
adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile that only has 20. 22. Women are just as intelligent and capable as men but a woman with a gun
is "an accident waiting to happen" and gun makers' advertisements aimed at
women are "preying on their fears." 23. Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers
but revert to normal when the weapon is removed. 24. Guns cause violence, which is why there are so many mass killings at gun
shows. 25. A majority of the population supports gun control, just like a majority
of the population supported owning slaves. 26. Any self-loading small arm can legitimately be considered to be a
"weapon of mass destruction" or an "assault weapon." 27. Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which
most people will abide by because they can be trusted. 28. The right of Internet pornographers to exist cannot be questioned
because it is constitutionally protected by the Bill of Rights, but the use
of handguns for self defense is not really protected by the Bill of Rights. 29. Free speech entitles one to own newspapers, transmitters, computers, and
typewriters, but self- defense only justifies bare hands. 30. The ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts of
the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts of the
Constitution. 31. Charlton Heston, a movie actor as president of the NRA is a cheap
lunatic who should be ignored, but Michael Douglas, a movie actor as a
representative of Handgun Control, Inc. is an ambassador for peace who is
entitled to an audience at the UN arms control summit. 32. Police operate with backup within groups, which is why they need larger
capacity pistol magazines than do "civilians" who must face criminals alone
and therefore need less ammunition. 33. We should ban "Saturday Night Specials" and other inexpensive guns
because it's not fair that poor people have access to guns too. 34. Police officers have some special Jedi-like mastery over handguns that
private citizens can never hope to obtain. 35. Private citizens don't need a gun for self- protection because the
police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the
police are not responsible for their protection. 36. Citizens don't need to carry a gun for personal protection but police
chiefs, who are desk-bound administrators who work in a building filled with
cops, need a gun. 37. "Assault weapons" have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of
people. The police need assault weapons. You do not. 38. When Microsoft pressures its distributors to give Microsoft preferential
promotion, that's bad; but when the Federal government pressures cities to
buy guns only from Smith & Wesson, that's good. 39. Trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for
defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their
duty weapon. 40. Handgun Control, Inc., says they want to "keep guns out of the wrong
hands." Guess what? You have the wrong hands.

You should post these to thehighroad.org for feedback! Some of them are spot-on, yet others really don't do anything to advance your position.

I disagree Devin. The 2nd Amendment was put into place to provide the People with the means to protect themselves from the tyranny of a government go awry, by extension the people retain the right to use arms for self defense.
Some of these are tongue-in-cheek arguments to demonstrate the absurdity of the GFW's public positions; as Rush would say, they demonstrate absurdity by being absurd.
Thanks for visiting, and commenting, it's good to know that I can still get a reader after my hiatus.

On this exciting subject, I try to post to my blogs as if I’m speaking to an individual or talking to the reader directly as I envision it helps engage the various readers a great deal a lot more than writing content formally especially when my blog is based on goings ons, every day thought processes and research for this somewhat controversial topic. I discovered that I nevertheless need to use far more of the techniques you might have mentioned in this posting.
