If you are pro-Second Amendment
(+2A), you may have already heard why the low-intelligence anti-Second
Amendmenters (-2A) so ardently want to revoke your God-given rights.
The anti argument is that guns
are dangerous and they can kill. End of
story.

| Subject of the Second Amendment. FYI. |
That’s akin to the lazy, inane
government campaign of the 1980’s about speeding on the nation’s highways. It used two words: Speed kills.
Thinking members of society will
analyze these two words and determine some facts. First is that the government hires largely
stupid people who make equally stupid statements. Secondly, if speed kills, everyone driving in
the annual Indianapolis
Of course, guns are dangerous,
but so are chainsaws, ladders, skateboards, ropes, and fire. All those can be used for good or for evil.
Take snow skiing, for
example. You buy overly expensive
clothes, skis, poles, long underwear, and a ski rack for your electric
car. You drive countless miles to a ski
facility where you purchase a ski lift ticket.
At this point you are in for hundreds of dollars to have fun.
Sonny Bono, the late singer and better
half of Sonny and Cher , died while having fun
skiing. You see, it can be dangerous,
too. Yet no liberal wants to outlaw
skiing.
But the -2Aers would have you
believe people only buy guns to rob liquor stores and convenience shops.
Self defense is rarely, if ever,
mentioned in their tired arguments of how guns are used for individual and
societal good.
Self defense is one of those instances
where the mere presence of a firearm can help a potential criminal re-think his
actions. In other words, a bad guy will
like it less if he were shot, convincing him to abandon his nefarious plan to a
path to incarceration or death.
If no one is shot, the potential
crime is less likely to be printed in the newspaper or aired on television,
making this effort to stop a serious crime a success.
But to tilt the scales of
opinion, -2Aers use all sorts of straw grasping to make their point, often using
the words “common sense,” “public safety,” and “for the children.”
Unfortunately for them, we are at
a position in the gun debate where the truth is emerging, much to the chagrin
of the -2A Left.
To bolster their numbers of how
many people have died as a result of guns, lectures on banning firearms often
include the shooting of youth gang members, most of whom use stolen guns to
break other laws. This is what is
appropriately termed a “criminal enterprise.”
All the laws in the world will
not prevent someone evil from stealing a gun, committing an armed robbery, then
killing someone. You just read about at
least three felonies in the previous sentence.
What extra law would correct that trifecta?
So to help make their point about
saving lives, the -2A people have been inserting the unfortunate deaths of
suicides into their argument.
For the record, people can die
from so many things, as the human body is a fragile temple. Heart problems, cancer, HIV, and renal issues
take innocent lives every day. And so do
falls, car wrecks, boating mishaps, and airplane crashes, take people to meet
God.
Still, the -2A crowd insist
suicide victims would be alive today if only everyone else was summarily denied
their +2A rights. They are wrong. And they are lying.
In Southeast
Florida , their Brightline fast rail service, which has been in
full official use since 2018, has seen 40 deaths. The footnote to that number is that some
deaths are due to impatient drivers, and others who simply misjudged or ignored
warning bells and signals; the majority has been suicides, though.
So it seems that not having
access to a firearm does not necessarily correlate to preventing suicides, as
the -2A folks would lead you to believe.
Here’s the rub. Ropes, razor blades, bridges, medications,
skyscrapers, and superhighways, can all potentially contribute to the suicide
rate, still they are not the target of the soulless anti-Second Amendment
crowd.
Here’s some free advice: Find another phony cause to massage your
egos.
