Ignore the facts: Why the left is pushing gun control

- Bill Brogan, Swarthmore

To the Times: Never let the facts interfere with a good story and “more gun laws” is the first arrow out of the quiver of the liberal media and Democrats. We gun owners, Trump supporters and street guys are always described as dumb and stupid, but it doesn’t take a Ph.D. to understand when you are being hustled by deceptive charlatans.

The Democrats and their liberal media bootlicker­s cannot complete their twisted agenda while the populace have their guns. The last failed attempt was to interpret the Second Amendment as for militias only, but for that little comma after “free State,” that goes on to say: “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” To their dismay we now have Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and if the aging Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg were to pass on we would have another. The Democrats would prop her up in her chair like Norman Bates did to his mother in “Psycho,” she sleeps most of the time anyway would be their rationale.

The facts didn’t stop the ultimate liberals Chris Mathews, Jodine Mayberry, Hillary, Dwight DeWerth-Pallmeyer, late night hosts and others from dragging out the worn-out liberal anthem of the NRA and “why do you need a semi-automatic rifle for hunting?” They all are educated and should understand the use of a comma to separate an idea within a sentence. The Second Amendment wasn’t put in place to allow us to hunt, but to protect “We the People” against tyranny in government and our own selfdefens­e; hunting was never mentioned.

“The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” What part of this doesn’t the educated comma ignorers get, “the right”, “people”, “to keep,” “bear arms” or “shall not be infringed?” The phony late night hosts all have security, no need for them to carry a heavy gun when they have hired saps to protect them.

The true facts bear out the case that the more concealed carry permits that are issued the less crime is committed. France and England both have very strict gun laws and the facts show more homes by far are broken into by thieves when the houses are occupied than in the U.S. U.K .thieves know they have no guns and will be hiding in the corner like little girls, not in my house! Most U.S. burglaries are committed in nonoccupie­d homes.

None of the new called-for imposed restrictio­ns would have prevented the recent shooting in Las Vegas. The “bump stock” was approved by the ATF during the Obama Administra­tion, when they held both the House and the Senate, never let the facts interfere with a good story. The ultimate liberals like Chris Mathews and those mentioned above were mute, their silence was deafening. They allowed this to happen!

The liberal media and Democrats cannot complete their warped divisive agenda while the populace has their guns. They have got to get control of us, then get these guns out of our hands before they can ram their divisive agenda down our throats. We aren’t that stupid to not understand their true gun control or immigratio­n motives.

The Democrats want their illegal immigratio­n to continue so they can get more Democrat voters to get control, and then get the legal guns from us. I love their most recent crazy rant term “dog whistle”, so now they can “interpret” what “we meant” by “what we said.” Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. The NRA includes me as part of our 5,000,000-member-strong army. The past Democrat administra­tions have notoriousl­y under prosecuted existing gun laws to show a phony need for more restrictiv­e gun laws.

The Democrat administra­tions that run our large cities have the most restrictiv­e guns laws on the planet and these young boys still kill each other in droves with various weapons, then they put out candles and teddy bears for the dead. The gun offender shooters are given bail, short sentences and parole by liberal judges. They don’t want to save lives, they want to sell candles and teddy bears and take the guns away from the law-abiding citizens to control us and that is not going to be allowed to happen.

The newest wrinkle from the left of the left crazies is to not only get rid of the Second Amendment but to scrap the entire United States Constituti­on, keep voting Democrat and we’ll soon be North Venezuela.
