Another gambit by anti-gun organizations is to include older teens and adults in their calculations, in order to produce at a scarier number, implying that eight children a day die because “gun lovers” only care about “their rights.”Bingo!
And I've seen that "caring only about their rights" talking point springing up more and more these days.

Yup. That's me. I only care about my rights... and yours... and theirs. The victim disarmers only care about their agenda.
ReplyDeleteI know y'all are tired of hearing parallels to the Nazis. But YOU know as well as I do that they offered German citizens a trade: Your children back, in exchange for your guns. Then they came and took the children anyway and there was nothing anyone could do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, THEY didn't think it could ever happen THERE, either. And THAT'S something the anti-freedom set keeps repeating more often as well. "We have the strongest military in the world. We are immune to invasion."
It wasn't invaders that shipped the German children to the camps.
There's a synagogue in Poland. One.
ReplyDeleteThere's a school in a Geman town named after a Jew. The students there wanted to learn the truth about the Holocaust. They invited the man, who lives in the United States now, to speak. Twice, he declined. He was the only Jew from that town to survive, and it was too painful. Then he realized that the newest generation needed to see that real people were affected. He went. He got a hero's welcome. And an apology from the town officials. An entire town that let its Jewish residents be murdered. Only 60 years ago.
See "Rwanda 1990s," "Zimbabwe and Sudan 2008," etc.
In each of those countries, some people were worried because others valued their rights.
