Dear Gun Control Democrats: 6 Ways to make a better argument

[Poke78]

A committed, self-described, Occupy Wall Street leftist female that is also very pro-gun tells Democrats the exact ways they failed in their proposals and arguments. This gal gets it, documents it, and does it all with style.

Some pull quotes to entice you to read the entire article:

I wish I had a dollar for every Democratic politician and commentator that has looked into a television camera over the past few months and said, “No one is trying to take your guns away!”

Allow me this humble suggestion: The best way to convince the American public that you’re not interested in taking guns away is to stop talking about taking guns away.

It is important to note that according to the Supreme Court (and most Americans), the views espoused by Obama, Feinstein, Maher, et all are unconstitutional. Is it really so difficult to understand why some folks might think that Democrats are just being politicians by giving lip-service to the second amendment while pushing new legislation? Taken collectively, these and many other open confessions by party members are more than probable cause for suspicion of intent. Constitutional voters don’t have to be ignorant or fearful to sound the alarm about these people. They just have to take them at their word and actions.

New rule: If you don’t know how guns work, you don’t get to craft legislation about them. There is nothing so embarrassing as watching a Democratic politician who has never held a gun in their life attempt to talk about why and how they should be regulated.

Aside from the fact that a statistically insignificant number of children die from firearms, not a single person who advocated these gun control measures has suggested a way in which any of the proposed legislation could possibly have prevented the massacre in Newtown. (None of it would have.) Which could make someone wonder, “What’s with all the talk about kids?”

Now, go click the link and read the article. I guarantee it's worth the time

What a great find. Thanks for sharing. It's long, but well worth your time. I'd suggest anybody who has a few moments during their morning coffee to pull up the link and start reading.

It's not just Democrats. If the last gun control measure hadn't required a super majority to pass we'd be in deep doodoo right now.

Exactly, sadly the Liberal mind isn't limited to Democrats only.

Harry Reid had 2 options:

1. Require a majority, allowing each amendment to the bill to be voted on separately, and allowing new amendments to be proposed.

2. Require a super majority, invoking cloture (end of debate), and the passing/failing of the entire bill.

He chose the latter, because it never would have come to a vote otherwise.

Legislators with balls would seek for a constitutional amendment to overturn the 2nd Amendment. But instead they've resorted to backdoor tactics. Such is the way of criminals and tyrants.

Good blog article. Sent it out to friends.

Love where they pointed out that one of the mistakes made was painting all gun owners and the NRA with a broad paintbrush and ruining some of what little credibility they had.

Instead of Hussein Obama and his little Nazis telling the world that millions of gun owners in the U.S. were enemies of society overnight, they would have scored more points by saying, "Look, folks, we understand why gun owners feel they need large capacity mags and weapons for home defense, hunting, competiton, etc, but..."

This would become time for a castration!
