Disgusting. The left will stop at nothing, certainly not tragedy or even facts, to promote their liberal ideology, whether it is through gun control, removal of freedoms, basically continuing their Constitution shredding. Takeaways from this article:
- "extremism" = right-wing white conservatives
- The 2-year old DHS report warned us that this could happen
- Loughner must be a right-wing extremist, even with no proof (finally mentioned in paragraph 19 of 20)
However, Americans aren't buying it. In addition, it stinks to high heaven that the article was written by "Aaron Mehta is a reporter for the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative reporting organization in Washington D.C." - the same Center for Public Integrity that takes money from George Soros' Open Society Institute. NOW who is exploiting this for political ideology? 'Nonpartisan' my a$$.
So, the media and the left (the same thing, really) are pivoting to gun control.
There are two things that jump out immediately on this proposed legislation by King. One, any legislation having to do with gun control that NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg is in favor of is bad news from a 2nd amendment perspective.
Two, King said this: "From a conservative perspective, we have to have a stable society, we have to keep crime down. You cannot do that if the police cannot be assured that illegal guns are not on the street.”
(Side note: when the left is on the ropes, they always argue their point using negative language and terms. Just try to parse that last sentence. Sounds like Hillary's 'willing suspension of disbelief' regarding General Petraus' testimony in 2007).
Now, how will legislation making it illegal to have a weapon within 1,000 feet of a federal official keep illegal guns off the street? Why 1,000 feet? Are there ballistic studies showing 1,000 feet is deadly while a distance of 1,001 feet is safe? Would this or any other gun control law have prevented the Giffords shootings from happening? If bad people want to do bad things, they will find a way, using a variety of objects.
The exact same flawed logic is in use by the TSA: find and stop terrorist's objects, not the terrorists themselves. I think we will find that this puffed-up AZ Sherrif Dupnik was grossly negligent in stopping Loughner. He knew that Loughner was a danger and failed to stop him.
Sounds just like Bill Clinton not having the balls to take the shot at bin Laden when he had the chance. Libs are spineless and weak against real enemies but energized, unified, hate-filed and ready to resort to violence when it comes to anything or anyone considered conservative or patriotic.
How's that for inflamed and hateful rhetoric?
