Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumClassical liberal 'Yankee Marshall' speaks truth to venom/lies.
One of the ugliest accusations hurled at supporters of the RKBA is that we "lack compassion" for the victims of gun violence by virtue of the fact that we refuse to sign off on worthless, emotion-driven "solutions" following gun violence tragedies.
I happen to enjoy a lot of what The Yankee Marshall releases.......and he's particularly on-point in this video:

(21,598 posts)Gun control advocates has been seen to be very selective,
Criminal shot while committing a violent felony- gun owner acted as "judge, jury and executioner" depriving said criminal of his right to trial. Apparently no issue with the criminal depriving people of life or limb.
Gun owner die at hands of violent felon-"One less"
And never forget some "compassion" expressed right here on DU-
"As for me, I subscribe to the "thin the herd" philosophy. The more gun owner's toddlers kill their parents and themselves, the fewer nuts of breeding age are left and the higher the average IQ of the nation will rise."
Which "Gun Safety" organization actually teaches gun safety? Which "Gun Safety" organization actually distributes safety devices?
Only RKBA groups back their words with direct action.Gun control has no moral high ground when it comes to compassion.

(2,375 posts)Absolute truth. If The Controllers truly cared about the victims of gun violence they'd be *intensely* curious about the *inverse* correlation between gun violence and the number of guns in the country since '93, and reams of other data that doesn't support "restriction".
If they truly gave a damn, their concern would be made obvious by **action** --- the most obvious first step being simple google searches on the terms they so blindly toss around. ("assault weapon", semi-automatic, interstate gun sales etc.)
If they truly gave a damn, they'd be able to admit the obvious -- that there is *no such thing* as "restricting" anything for which there is strong demand.....given the obvious fact that demand creates it's own supply. (Prohibition? "War" on drugs? DERP!)
We could go on at great length.
