Responding to the Deranged Gun-Haters

August 27, 2015 by V the K

Whenever the media hypes a shooting, the effete, freedom-haters of the Left begin mewling about how awful guns are and how they long to live in a “gun-free society.”

I see that NRA decal on the rear window of your car and my eyes narrow. I look at the back of your head in the driver’s seat and I wonder if you are a threat. A threat to my children. A threat to me. A threat to society.

This type of simpering totalitarian impulse deserves a response, and fortunately, someone provided one.

I see you quivering in your panties about a sticker, and I snicker just a bit. I look at you and I wonder if you ever had any courage, any integrity, and any understanding of the laws and principles on which this nation was founded. And I wonder if you’re a threat

Read the whole thing.

The thing is, we know what happens when you concede anything to the left; it only makes them want more. We know the ultimate goal of the left is to completely outlaw the private possession of firearms, and everything they do is intended as an incremental step in that direction. That’s why every inch of ground must be fought for.

    The pajama boy leftists are free to move to Progressive, gun-free Europe. Then, when they are riding on a train and some Muslim terrorist goes on a rampage, they can cower under the seat, or run into the next compartment and lock the door, and hope that some of the other passengers are Americans who will take action.

    To be honest, I often feel this way when I first spot one of those repulsive little yellow “=” hate stickers on someone’s bumper. Then I remember that the occupant may be a simple fool or an angry tool, but not much of a threat.

    Ah, yes.

    Obama, Hillary Clinton, and their Let’s-all-have-no-guns-like-England-friends have found another murder+suicide crime, have waved their toy Harry Potter-magic-wands, + said: [Poof! If we had more gun control laws, + more, harsh gun control laws, then this murder/suicide wouldn’t have happened]. Let’s see:

    The mass murderer, Dylann Roof, had used a gun for his crime. Really, his crimes were not the fault of his gun. If he didn’t have a gun, he most likely would’ve found another item, or another deadly weapon, to do his killing.

    But, when the press said, [White House, how would more gun control have stopped Mr. Roof’s crimes, since he got his gun legally], the White House said something like: [Um…we have nothing to say about that. Just look at the FBI’s statement on Dylann Roof’s gun. That will tell you all you need to know about it.]

    Uh, huh. Right. Really, Obama White House: your logic doesn’t add up at all.

    Tell me how well this would be received, with me changing but one word of the original rant.

    If anyone should be blamed for this most recent shooting, it should be Barack “race-baiter” Obama and his nasty rhetoric for the last seven years.

    Maine just passed voluntary permit for concealed carry (takes effect 10/15). In the same legislative session, Universal Background Check didn’t make it out of committee. Now, Bloomberg has started a Citizen’s Initiative to get it on the ballot in 2016. I belong to a group “Gun Owners of Maine”. it was our organization that facilitated the passage of the concealed carry law (with bipartisan support in the House). The group was also able to help stall the UBC in committee. We are up against a man with very deep pockets. I am not sure if this allowed here but we could certainly use some financial help..

    When we were kids in the 1970s’, a ‘rainbow decal’ in the back window of a parents’ car meant they had participated in the “Marriage Encounters” program, “…for a more fulfilling marriage and a happy family”. Typically that translated into their marriage was rocky, they drank, and their children were all more-likely to be the next potential psychopath or sociopath in the neighborhood.

    When we were littler and more naive, we thought it meant they were wife-swappers… **snert** That we knew about wife-swapping tells you about the neighborhood, and those times.

    Lots of the high profile shooters have been Democrats… A Hilary sticker should be the “trigger” for the evil.

    There have recently been not one, but two, high-profile STABBING murders in OKLAHOMA [arguably the center of gun-loving Redneck Heaven, certainly not a liberal culture]. One was multiple-fatality; the other was a high-ranking state official killed by his own son. These victims were killed by assailants, but not by guns; so: Are the victims not really dead? Are their murderers not really murderers? Are their deaths not tragic, and not preventable????
    In liberal doublethink, the facts don’t matter. Never have. Never will. Can’t….

    I don’t have any bumper stickers on my car because I know leftists would key it or worse if I was not around. The reason the OP hates the NRA is most of them know about the Holodomor. It was when the jewish Bolsheviks took away peoples guns then all of their food at gun point to starve to death 60+ million white Russian Christians. Controlling weapons , water and food has been the tribes MO since prehistory. Of course no one mentions how the Holodomor was a reason to do the other H thing a few years later in Germany.

    Stop spouting your Anti-Jewish lies, Steve. The Holodomor was instituted by Stalin, long after the Jews had been purged from positions of power in the Soviet Union. I bet you also think Jews use the blood of Christian babies to make their Passover matzo.

    Just out of curiosity- what would be an ideal solution to the issues, + problems, of gun ownership in the USA?

  21. Ted B. (Charging Rhino) says

    August 29, 2015 at 3:11 am - August 29, 2015

    The problem isn’t “gun ownership”. Much of it is feed by narcissism, victim-hood, shirking of any personal responsibility, and the 24/7 news cycle. They have a manifesto, they have a grudge they think will be solved/resolved publicly, they want to be famous.

    First, start with damnatio memoriae. Like an alleged rape victim, their name is never to be mentioned, their face never shown, their families never interviewed or quoted, no statements from the family. They just disappear down the Rabbit Hole. They become a cypher, a non-person left to the mercies of the Courts and History. No graphic tours of the homes, no lurid expose’s on their wretched loser-hoods. No pundits makes lame excuses for their “…rational acting-out due to the circumstances.”.

    Two, their manifestos are not mentioned, quoted or published. Their grievances. Their narcissistic complaints to fall on deaf ears, never to be aired.

    Three, no movies or TV “Afternoon Specials” about their lives. No books or articles about their wretched existences.

    , lets bring back societal shaming by those who actually knew the miscreant. There was a time when one of the most scathing putdowns was a withering, “…Your mother must be so proud.” Make it plain there will be consequences for their own loved-ones, whom they have placed in this position.

    Five, If a society is going to insist on a death penalty for such murders, there needs to be a DEATH involved…not a natural life-span of appeals and counter appeals. There was a reason that public hanging were held in-public on the Courthouse Square. Not a rush to judgment, but expedited fair hearings and appeals, then appropriate punishment. Or, just stop posturing and deal with imprisonment as the legal, just punishment.

    The Liberals and the Media may complain. But doing it their way since WW2 hasn’t improved the societal results, it’s just aggravated the narcissism and their enablers and apologists.

    Who is to be blamed for multiple murders and massacres? It’s not the law abiding gun owners. It’s the darling of the left, the ACLU! They, and their fellow travelers, are responsible for the closing of mental hospitals.
    Mass murderers from Columbine to Roanoke were dealing with mental o issues. The mother of the Newtown assassin, knowing her son wasn’t responding to treatment for various mental problems. She wanted to have him committed, but it cost her her life, as she was his first victim in the shooting. Want to reduce multple murders? Gun control is not the answer. Let’s take legal steps to abolish the ACLU, at least ignore them, and establish mental hospitals staffed with people who are trained to work with mentally ill patients.

    Yes, every inch of ground must be fought for. So why do Republicans and conservatives continue to support and elect emotional and psychological castrati who cave to the Left’s every demand each and every time one of their corrupt political racketeers or bubble-headed celebrity mouthpieces threatens to pull out the outrage machine? If we want to fight for every inch of ground, we’re going about it in a remarkably counterproductive measure.

    I think that’s part of the reason why Trump is getting so much love. I think people are so tired of Republicans apologizing and submitting on everything that the sight of a man who refuses to back down, and even doubles down, is refreshing to them. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Trump’s popularity is good, it just means that people are fed up with business as usual. And it means that the Republican base is far angrier and more unruly than the establishment focus group guys and conservative intelligentsia thought, which has wounded both groups’ pride. And we all know how people who think they’re all that get when they are proven wrong or realize that they miscalculated.

    Expressing empathy for the victims. Calmly pointing out to those on the left why they are overreacting (i.e. look at Switzerland), while also respecting their desperation for a solution and frustration which leads them to be so sweepingly overreactive. Try having a substantive conversation as to why these incidents keep happening in the U.S. at an alarming rate that seems to grow (?) over time (or perhaps it has stabilised, I dunno).

    It doesn’t hurt to discuss what is it about U.S. culture that produces such occurrences. Perhaps the U.S. is more narcissistic. Or maybe they’re not and are just more permissive of narcissism.

    Or just say nothing because “not my problem” or “nothing I can do.”

    Or point out how overreactive the left is because pointing the finger works so well and creates such fantastic results.

    Whatever the case. This event will be forgotten soon. Nobody cares. Life goes on. Etc.

    I mean you seem to be saying that Ted B’s idea of damnatio memoriae won’t produce anything but “business as usual.” Well, I don’t think that’s entirely certain. I don’t know to what extend Ted B intended, but if media outlets had some kind of code that had to adhere which prevented them for sharing the image and name of such killers, it certainly would remove the appeal of fame so many of these killers seek.

Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, as a young man, was studying to be a priest of the Russian Orthodox Catholic Church. Last I checked that was not a Jewish church.

    […] It’s the darling of the left, the ACLU! They, and their fellow travelers, are responsible for the closing of mental hospitals. […]

    Vast oversimplification, but one the defensive right loves to keep bringing up.

    Read up on the treatment of the mentally ill throughout history and even into the advent of the Space Age. Examine most of the mental hospitals which existed prior to the reform of the system and please tell me they were places you wouldn’t mind spending some time at, or having a loved one with issues spend time at. Most were simply human warehouses for people which society didn’t want to deal with. (Better if your family was well off and could provide you with a relatively comfortable existence, like Rosemary Kennedy–after the mental health professionals at the time permanently maimed your family member.)

    It can be argued that the reform of the mental health system went overboard in the other direction, but in reality the reform was never completed and the old system not completely replaced. But before the ACLU and their “fellow travelers” are attacked for the temerity to give individuals with mental illness some of the same rights others take for granted, let’s consider what other countries throughout history (including in today’s modern world), have done with citizens or subjects who make unpopular statements, particularly against the ruling government: send them to mental hospitals for “treatment” of their “condition”. (Because, of course, they must be mentally ill in order to make such outlandish statements.)

    Now imagine current society in the US where ‘hate speech’ is any statement made against another person or group which causes said person or group to feel “uncomfortable” or emotionally “threatened”. Or when uttered in opposition to persons of another race or ethnicity which automatically constitutes racism, particularly when made against elected officials. What sane person would do such things? They, too, must be mentally ill. Now imagine what would happen under the old system, with involuntary commitment and without evidentiary hearings and without due process, and with no review after commitment. Now tell me that’s the type of system that should return to the US.

    We’ve made much progress in the treatment of mentally ill individuals, but we are still, in many ways, where the treatment of physiological illnesses were just one hundred years ago, when many doctors sill believed physical disease was caused by things like “miasmas”. To that end, we have a long way to go, but one direction we do not want to go is further back in time where “mental hospitals” were simply prisons for those whom society had a slightly extra measure of pity.

    Ah yes, the best solution to the problem of those who wish to bear arms (outside of the wholesale destruction of those arms) is to pass more laws requiring “background checks” performed by the same government who puts two-year-olds on the No Fly List.

    @ 39 RSG.

    Mental hospitals should be reopened. The past does not have to be repeated. Citing past conditions is the mantra of the the progressive left, just like the movement for strict gun control (nobody may own a firearm.) Today’s medical professionals are better trained and more knowledgeable. Patients in a modern mental hospital can be better cared for by trained personnel.

  41. RSG says

    August 31, 2015 at 4:40 pm - August 31, 2015

    Mental hospitals should be reopened. The past does not have to be repeated.

    Many of the hospitals which exist today also existed in the past (such as my state mental hospital where my great-grandmother died before FDR did). It’s not the operating status but the operating conditions of same. There are still plenty of facilities for the country’s lesser citizens where the standard of care for the residents is sub-par, such as many nursing homes (most of which are privately-run; the few state-owned ones are often worse). So, too, with the facilities for the severely developmentally disabled.

    The point is, until and unless there can be a standard of care that one would consent to having one’s own loved ones submitted to on a universal basis, there will not be a return to the wholesale institutionalization of the mentally ill.

    That doesn’t even begin to address the procedures and safeguards around commitment procedures and the legal processes necessary to insure that those committed quite likely against their will have their rights protected amidst the ever delicate balance between public and personal safety and individual rights. The same right that enables me to own a firearm should also protect me from a psychiatric hold simply because I was open carrying that firearm while telling my neighbor to keep his four- and two-legged children off my property for the umpteenth time.

    Citing past conditions is the mantra of the the progressive left […]

    It’a also a tactic used by the regressive right, as well: “If we only had more sodomy laws like we once did, there wouldn’t be an AIDS epidemic.”

    Interesting use of the strawman fallacy at the end there, RSG.

  43. TheQuietMan says

    September 1, 2015 at 2:35 am - September 1, 2015

    There were many horrors in the old mental hospitals/asylums (asyla?) system. However, in many cases–many homeless and a noticeable percentage pf the jail/prison population–those who need help are not getting qualified care.

    Humane standards (would I want a relative here? as RSG has advocated as a rule of thumb), combined with good medical practices would help immensely. The trick would be the process for involuntary placing in the facilities. I think so sort of a type of trial (not too public, but with neutral observers of some kind, and some provision for family and or close friends to be involved or at least informed in advance) would help balance the interests of freedom for the person and the need for proper care.

    Part of the sale pitch for doing away with the mental hospitals was a claim that public mental health facilities would increase to help those who did not need to be hospitalized; there is still a need for that.
