Enhance Tragedy to Advance the Agenda
Making good people helpless will not make bad people harmless.
From King George to Pol Pot and recently Justin Trudeau history is rife with examples of despotic tyrants who made great exertions to eliminate the population’s means of protection. Disarming the law abiding citizen will not make America safer - the opposite outcome will be the result. If gun-control laws worked, New York and Chicago would be among the safest cites in the Nation. In fact, cities that are most oppressive to the Natural Right of self-defense are the most violent. I challenge any one to research data of a National Rifle Association member who was a mass shooter. The responsibly armed American is the greatest bulwark against crime and tyranny. The Center for Disease Control reports that there are 500,000 to 3 million instances of Defensive Gun Use per year. The Heritage Foundation’s interactive on-line Defensive Gun Use Database https://datavisualizations.heritage.org/firearms/defensive-gun-uses-in-the-us/ highlights the many good news stories that don’t seem, to make the paper.
As always the LEFT never lets a crisis go to waste in order to promote their agenda. The socialist faction of the Democratic Party and the Quisling RINOs of the GOP want a country of passive subjects that are completely dependent on the government feed trough. What has been learned or reiterated from the recent horrific crimes in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas is that when called to the rescue the police will not intervene to protect you. They didn’t do so at Marjory Stoneman Douglas Highin Parkland, or at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando. At Columbine, Police waited 50 minutes for a SWAT team to arrive. The pleas from inside Robb Elementary went unheeded. The horror did not stop until Jacob Albarado a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent who was getting a hair cut heroically interposed with a shotgun supplied by his barber. Again in the Buffalo, NY the 911 dispatcher hung up on Tops Supermarket employee as he whispered that the killer was near by. The cavalry did not come to the rescue just in the nick of time. Had only there been an armed citizen in either of these situations!
The real mission of the so-called bipartisan gun-control committee was more about confiscation of firearms than protection of our children.
Police inaction
The real mission of the current so-called bipartisan gun-control committee is
more about confiscation of firearms than protection of our children. The complicit fake news doesn’t report on the mayhem that regularly occurs in our democrat run cities like Chicago where the carnage has resulted in 341 deaths and the year is just half over! The death toll is is calculated daily by the Chicago Sun Times. https://graphics.suntimes.com/homicides/?_ga=2.268161100.359989542.1551114885-1053806772.1520361305
Yet, Chicagoans face the most liberty crushing gun regulations in the country. On May 27th Texas Gov. Greg Abbott referenced in the Chicago Tribune “There are quote ‘real’ gun laws in Chicago ... I hate to say this, but there are more people who were shot every weekend in Chicago than there are in schools in Texas,” Abbott said Wednesday, also referencing Los Angeles and New York City. “And we need to realize that people who think that, well, maybe if we could just implement tougher gun laws, it’s going to solve it, Chicago and L.A. and New York disprove that thesis. And so, if you’re looking for a real solution, Chicago teaches that what you’re talking about is not a real solution.”

Simultaneous to the Jan 6 Commission, is the so-called bipartisan gun-control committee that is under the whispered edict of Joe Biden, for God’s sake has to do something or at least looking like they are doing something. Americans are enduring the Summer of Political Theater and it is a double feature. The consensus of the UniParty’s gun-control hearing is to pass Draconian Red Flag Laws which should be more appropriately dubbed Red Herring Laws or better yet the Gladys Kravitz Act. [“Abner, Abner Mr. Steven’s is wearing a MAGA hat and he owns an assault rifle with high capacity clips! Call the judge!”] Red Flag Laws and Red Flag Gun Confiscation Laws and expanded background registration checks would have not done anything to prevent the two tragic shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde.
New York already has Red Flag Gun Confiscation Laws in place, and in Uvalde, Texas, the killer purchased a gun from a retailer and likely passed a background check.
Harold Pease, Ph.D. on June 5, 2019 in an on-line article 'Red flag' laws violate Constitutional law’ commented that Red Flag Laws violate the following constitutional amendments: I, II, IV, V, VI, XI and XIV.-- half of the Bill of Rights. The IV Amendment reads in part: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated." Today computers and electronic devices are our "papers" and "effects." Firearms are our weapons of self-preservation. It is "unreasonable" to confiscate them on the assumption that they may be used inappropriately. "Red Flag Laws distinguished from other anti-gun laws, are based entirely upon the assumption that someone may commit a crime rather than has committed a crime. A person's speech or behavior is viewed as a red flag.
These unconstitutional laws make one guilty until proven innocent since the process is civil the accused,
The slippery slope is the that Red Flag Laws are ripe for abuse. These unconstitutional laws make one guilty until proven innocent since the process is civil the accused, in addition to being vulnerable to attack as a result of being unarmed will be subjected to huge legal fees. Red Flag Laws will make one susceptible to law-fare attacks from a disgruntled former employee, spouse, neighbor, customer, political opponent or anyone with an ax to grind.
Will it stop with just gun confiscation? Once the citizen has been deprived of his means of self-defense, the next question is, since declared unfit by a judge to posses firearms should the (falsely) accused be able to drive a commercial vehicle, operate heavy machinery, own a chain saw, be in the proximity of children, purchase alcohol, enter a contract, get a mortgage, see clients, eat in a steak house or accept that new promotion?
Are Chicago’s gun laws the strictest in the United States? Not anymore. By Chicago Tribune staff May 27, 2022
