People React to Calls for Bans

Innocent children get murdered by a madman who broke a TON of laws, despicable, blooddancing politicians and media types gleefully exploit it to push for more gun control.........and the rest of America reacts.  As Rick over at Traction-Control notes,

"At 5:30 AM I showed 9,330 units on hand, when the order was received (at 5:00 PM) the quantity available was zero. My distributor reported over 70,000 Magpul PMags were sold last weekend alone."

Almost 10,000 Magpul PMags sold in 12 hours, 70,000 sold in one weekend.  Not only that, but I was checking out Aimsurplus last night and they were wiped out of most everything.  .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 9mm, 7mm Mauser, .223/5.56, Glock mags, every PMAG you could think of.  All of it was out of stock.


By and large is it not the pro-gun crowd who seeks to use the death of innocent kids to push a policy agenda, but then when is that not the case. When have leftist anti-gunners EVER refrained from using death and tragedy as political capital for infringing upon the rights of everyone who didn't do it.


Why can't we just grieve for the families of those lost and then have a rational conversation once people's emotions have subsided some?

I went into my local gun shop yesterday and they were packed. Said they hadn't had a moment's rest all day. It is a whirl-wind out there for purchasing gear.

Memo to the Gun Grabbing Goons:

The purepose of Constitution

We know that gun free zones don’t work – they only serve to disarm the innocent in the face of evil.

We know that prohibiting private sale doesn’t work – criminals by definition don’t obey the law so it won’t stop them from being armed – just like banning drugs

We know that registration doesn’t work – did I mention that criminals don’t obey the law, registration only means the government has a real handy way of denying innocent people a means of self defense, not to mention making people feel like subject and not citizens.

We know that Confiscation won’t work again because criminals don’t obey the law and they will just find a way to steal a gun from the government, law enforcement or simply make a gun even IF you were able to get every gun in private hands

We know that criminals don’t buy guns on the open market – so prohibiting private sales won’t work.
We know that criminals don’t register their guns – so registering them won’t work
And we know that criminals won’t have their guns confiscated.

We’ve seen this movie a few times before – after a horrific act of violence the ever so helpful government looks to grab more power by controlling how and when you can buy a gun. All the while solemnly promising it won’t lead to registration.

Then after those measures don’t work – as it always the case – the ever so helpful government grabs even more power by breaking their solemn promise that the first item won’t lead to registration by requiring everyone to get the governments permission to have a gun – registration. All the while solemnly promising it won’t lead to confiscation

Then after those measures don’t work – as it always the case – the ever so helpful government grabs even more power by breaking their solemn promise by confiscating everyone (except the criminals guns)

Then after those measures don’t work – as it always the case – the ever so helpful government….. doesn’t do anything because there are no more guns to grab…. Then moves on to knives

But even if by some miracle, you Statist were to magically accomplish those tasks, the criminals could still MANUFACTURE guns and ammunition.

Anyone with the least bit of intelligence should realize these facts – And I’ll bet you Statist do too.

Of course this means that you know that criminals will be better off wit the banning of private sales.
And this means that you know that criminals will be able work around the registration rules while the innocent are disadvantaged.
And finally this means that you know that criminals will be able to take full advantage over a disarmed populace and run rampant – as they don in your utopian cites where gun control is the means by which thousand die each year.

Having wrote that, one can only come to the conclusion that since you know all of these facts – and you would have to be a dunderhead not to know them – the conclusion you have to reach is that you gun grabbers are pure evil.

I say this with little trepidation – If you know that the innocent will be robbed, raped and killed as a direct results of your gun grabbing, what other conclusion is there to be reached?

Do you really think that we’re just going to register our weapons?

We know that is just a precursor to confiscation.

And do you really think that we’re just going to let you confiscation them?

Let me clue you in: we would rather drop them in a lake or burying the out in the woods before you’re going to get a hold of them.
