Sometimes I just have to smile when faced with anti-gun propagandists, regardless of the vicious statements they make, because I know from years of past experience in this debate that because of their deep rooted hypocrisy, they WILL inevitably make my pro-gun case for me. All I have to do is sit back and wait for them to contradict themselves…
After the Sandy Hook attacks, the NRA responded with the suggested measure of establishing armed security guards at public schools in order to ensure there is a defensive presence in place to meet any violent threat. I personally agree with the idea, though I believe it doesn’t go far enough. Frankly, allowing teachers to legally carry on school grounds would be a much more effective deterrent, promoting the ability of average citizens to protect themselves rather than constantly relying on some uniformed official.
The Obama Administration, of course, responded negatively to the NRA’s position and has yet to even address or acknowledge the idea of armed teachers. Obama shrugged off the NRA, claiming he was “skeptical” of the armed security concept, all while sending his own children to a private school protected by at least 11 armed sentries not counting Secret Service agents:
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/12/23/School-Obama-s-Daughters-Attend-Has-11-Armed-Guards-Not-Counting-Secret-Service
So, Obama is “skeptical” of an armed presence at your children’s school, but not his own children’s school? Yes, it’s incredibly hypocritical. My question to the president would be: If armed guards don’t make a difference, why have your children surrounded by them? I would be interested to hear his response. Perhaps he believes his children are more important than our own…
Then there’s that wretched gun grabbing swamp hag, Senator Dianne Feinstein; a true anti-gun zealot who has openly admitted that if she thought she could get away with it, she would pursue the complete disarmament of the entire U.S. citizenry. The same zealot who after the Oklahoma City bombing had this to say at a senate hearing:
“I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that’s what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon and I made the determination if somebody was going to try and take me out, I was going to take them with me…”
Apparently she saw the need for firearms in the defense of her own life, but not the need for the average citizen to have the same opportunity.
And what about Senator Chuck Schumer, who called for the president to use the excuse of “national security” and terrorism to force through restrictive gun legislation? The man who also voted against a bill which would have prevented outside entities like the UN from asserting gun control treaties that affect the American public? Well, Chuck has his own concealed carry permit in the state of New York, of all places, and still continues his antigun rhetoric. Again, do they see themselves as part of a higher and more valuable class of people? How do they explain these contradictions in their position?
What about media gigolo Michael Moore and his theater of the absurd? Playing the role of gun fan while at the same time incessantly promoting gun control rhetoric using skewed information and disingenuous talking points? The same man who suggested that the sound of a racking shotgun on tape is as effective as having the real thing uses bodyguards armed with THE REAL THING, one of whom was recently arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon into JFK Airport:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,144921,00.html#ixzz2FnQC65J3
But anti-gun propagandists with armed bodyguards are nothing new. In fact, anti-gun mayor Michael Bloomberg travels with a cadre of five to six bodyguards, all packing heat. Why do these people who say they despise guns and gun ownership continue surrounding themselves with the same “devilish weaponry”? It’s simple; because the mere reality of gun ownership deters criminal attack. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t rely on firearms at all.
Apparently, this same fact has suddenly dawned on The Journal News in New York, which has received a flurry of attention (mostly negative) for their insane idea of publishing maps of New York suburban neighborhoods “outing” the names and addresses of all those who have concealed carry permits. The Journal News has yet to officially address why they chose to do this, but the paper is, needless to say, anti-gun; publishing articles that call for ALL firearms owners, not just those with CCW, to be cataloged and mapped:
http://www.lohud.com/article/20121223/NEWS04/312230056/The-gun-owner-next-door-What-you-don-t-know-about-the-weapons-in-your-neighborhood
http://www.lohud.com/article/20130104/OPINION/301040031/Editorial-Push-more-permit-data-free-gun-locks-too
Their rationale? All gun owners should be mapped so that anti-gun citizens can “know who their neighbors are” and the “possible danger that surrounds them”. The assertion that the newspaper is making is that all gun owners should be treated as potential threats, like convicted pedophiles. Their philosophy is to consider us guilty until proven innocent.
It is an interesting and manipulative strategy. The intent is first to promote a national firearms database, which just happens to be a primary part of Dianne Feinstein’s coming gun control legislation, as well as to cultivate a kind of “culture of shame” surrounding gun ownership. The Journal News motto should be: “Own a gun? We’ll make sure everyone knows what a monster you are…”
The paper follows with the argument that people should be allowed to know who in a neighborhood is armed so that they can make an “informed decision” on whether or not they want to live there. As I have stated in recent articles on the gun control issue, the anti-gun fears of terrified yuppies are not our concern. They should be required to control THEIR fear, not allowed to control OUR guns. Their fears do not and should not override our constitutional liberties, and frankly, I couldn’t care less if they want to live in a gun free neighborhood or not.
Using the gun map philosophy, a universe of invasive collectivist enforcement becomes available. Why not, for instance, create a map of every person who has been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and given psychotropic medications? Since almost every person who has committed atrocities like Sandy Hook in the course of the past two decades was under the influence of psychotropics at the time it only follows that everyone on these drugs is a potential threat according to the logic of The Journal News. I suspect though that at least half of their staff, just like half of New York, is highly medicated, and probably would not endorse such a measure.
County Officials in New York State are now revolting against the gun map initiatives of The Journal News, denying them further information on permit holders in other counties in order to avoid possible danger to those citizens. Reuters has responded to this unexpectedly reasonable response by, surprise, attacking it:
http://blogs.reuters.com/jackshafer/2013/01/02/lets-not-go-crazy-over-publishing-gun-lists/
State officials denying The Journal access to permit holder names and addresses is so far one of the only sane things being done in the state of New York when it comes to the gun debate, but according to the Reuters opinion piece, such an action is “crazy”. Is permit holder information a matter of public record? Yes, for now. Does that mean that The Journal News should be allowed to exploit that information to satiate their own personal zealotry while making it easy for criminals to devise threat assessments? The State of New York doesn’t seem to think so. Honestly, if I was a non-gun owning citizen in New York, I would be much more upset at The Journal than if I was on their list. Essentially, the newspaper has just advertised who on their map is a potentially easy target…
Finally, displaying their own grand level of hypocrisy, The Journal News has hired ARMED security guards to protect them from the possible wrath of the angry populace they put at risk:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/02/us-usa-guns-newspaper-idUSBRE9010R820130102
Is the staff of the newspaper in danger? Well…yes, of course they are! That kind of blind idiocy and hubris tends to attract wild fury in response. However, the point remains; when faced with conceivable violence, they turned to the practical solution of armed intervention, just like ANYONE with any sense would. They admonish us for wanting the right to defend ourselves in the most efficient way available (private firearms ownership) while at the same time surrounding themselves with a shield of guns.
The gun grabber personality is interminably flawed, but it could be summarized thus:
They believe the whole of society should cater to their personal concerns. That we should give up our rights just to make them feel safer. And, that they are somehow a step above the rest of us, and do not need to practice what they preach. My question is, why should we go out of our way to please such weaklings and frauds? I have yet to hear a good reason…

Though I do agree that the anti gunners are hypocrites in highering armed guards. This is not how they think. They are not anti-gun. They just want government to have all the guns. otherwise they would agitate for the police and military to be disarmed as well. Side comment: notice how all the anti-war people went dead silent when obummer was elected in 2008? obummer is doing the same things as bush but the lefties don't care.
Anyway, They have a completely different way of thinking. Logic, reason and facts all support a pro-gun position. But the anti's don't use logic, reason or facts. They think emotionally. They are happy being serfs to big government. They don't think independently. They feel and they are very much a herd mentality. And are OK with someone else doing the heavy thinking for them as long as they feel good about it. To fight them we need logic, reason and facts but we must also come up with a suitable emotional argument to truly counter the anti's lack of thinking skills. Then we have a 100% case against more gun control. We will have logic, reason, facts and emotion on our side.

@Michael
I agree in theory, but it seems to me that for them to have a truly emotional awakening to the need for gun ownership, they would have to experience a personal and extremely real threat to their own lives, and, survive the damn thing so that they can learn something from it. I never see them taking much stock in the very emotional stories of self defense that happen in other people's lives everyday. They just don't care, until something happens to them.
The great irony of collectivism is that the common collectivist wants to be a part of the herd only because he thinks it will serve his personal interests. All socialists are ultimately selfish.

@SRV
Do you even know what a strawman argument is, SRV?
So tell me this, "normal" guy who spews hate filled rhetoric, was Sandy Hook an "obvious" target? Did you ever stop and think that perhaps EVERY target that is unarmed is an obvious target? Did those children deserve the same protection as Obama's children or not?
You claim that gun owners will "freeze in our tracks" when confronted with a violent attacker, which means you have never read the statistics on gun defense in your life. Gun owners thwart violent criminals tens of thousands of times each year, including psychopaths who sought to open fire in crowded places. Just look up the Cato Institute study on gun defense and violent crime. I suggest you stop parroting what you hear on your TV and try harder to educate yourself. Your method of debate is incredibly pathetic.
And to answer your final question...your brain is obviously very small and flaccid...

Put a sign at the entrance to your neighborhood which states that it is a gun-free zone and watch your stats on burglery, robbery and assault rise.

You clearly know your stuff... However, I would be remiss if I didn't point out the study(?) was written by Clayton E Cramer, Vice President of the National Rifle Association Members Council of Sonoma County.
I know, I know... the dog ate your "Research 101" course homework... lol

@SRV
Who wrote the study is not relevant and you are merely trying to distract away from the point. What matters are the facts contained within the study. Do you have information that contradicts the findings of the study or not? Are you saying the collated data of thousands of instances of gun defense never happened? What about the thousands of police reports supporting those incidences? Are those fake too?
I realize it's very hard for you to back a position when you have no leg to stand on, but I would expect at least a little more from a disinfo-troll.
Produce something tangible, SRV. You need to try much harder if you are going to convince anyone that your position makes sense.

Well boys and girls..The time is coming, your going to have to make a desicison..If confiscation starts you're going to do one of two things either turn them in, or use them..They (the gov'nt) are going to kick this off by forcing you to registar your "Assualt rifles" They want a list of where they're all at, of course you'll be able to buy a permission slip, AKA license, when you registar you rifle as a NFA item..and for awhile you'll be "allowed" to keep them. But when the socialist's economic plans start to derail, they'll be by to pick them up in a effort to curb the unrest they know is coming, and to give them an decided advantage..We are entering a very dark time, and at this point, I'm not sure if this country can survive..We're almost bankrupt, and our goverment is starting to turn on us...I fear for the future.. I urge all of you not only to buy a rifle (if you don't already have one) But, i'd also add to go out and seek some professional training.. While you still can,It won't be cheap, but what you can learn on a 2,3 day course could save your life,and very possibly give you an advantage..just remember to practice what you learn, and take notes while you're there,, so you can train others..
For the last couple of years I have been getting defensive pistol, carbine training..It has helped by leaps and bounds,While i'm not a rambo,(not even close) I at least have a skill set, and that puts me about a lightyear ahead of those who don't..
