Oh, wait, I read this sorry excuse for magical "thinking" and my first thought was "Alakazam!" [More]
First of all, idiot, you'd better start with these guys.
It's like every few years they dust off old lies to spring on a new crop that hasn't heard them before. The comparison isn't between justifiable homicides and suicides, the comparison is between DGUs and suicides.
Gee, I wonder why they keep doing that?
And yet again there is no attempt to distinguish lawful gun owners from gun possessors, a criminal class with higher incidents of contributing factors including chronic drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, increased negative health, spiritual and moral issues, and a general higher preponderance for making poor and stupid choices.
Not that any of these arguments need to be made, as RKBA is not subject to debate, especially with a Prozi hive insect queen who agrees with removing all firearms from the home, and would, in fact, rather see you dead than armed.
I wonder how much use ol' Olga would be in a situation where a successful DGU is the only way out.
No I don't, but considering subversive crap like this, I couldn't feel too sorry for her and the editors of The Atlantic if they ever found sudden incentive to reconsider.
So, they always count only justifiable homicides, which is a very small part of DGUs? Can you say, "Agenda"?
ReplyDeleteAnd what of Japan, with a suicide rate twice ours, and nary a gun among the people? Or is bringing that up politically incorrect?
Olga supports abortion, therefore it's OK for A to hire B to kill C.
ReplyDeleteThe Atlantic (I didn't find any articles on this by Olga) supports doctor-assisted suicide, therefore, it's OK for A to hire B to kill A.
However, it's somehow unseemly for A to cut out the middleman and kill himself? Does society somehow own A, or are doctors just unhappy they're not getting a cut of the action?
Look,
ReplyDeleteI've been saying for years guns are a great prophylactic against the virulent disease of violent crime.
I suggest we start speaking like doctors to get through to doctors.
So, you could say something like this:
"Guns, as weapons, are safe and effective, when used as directed."
