After last week's mass shooting at a Connecticut school, gun control has made its way back into a nationwide debate.
Democrats are urging for a ban on military-style assault weapons and for stricter gun control policies overall.
Even Sen. Joe Manchin, a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association, said it was time to discuss gun policy and move toward action on gun regulation, according to The Huffington Post. “The conservative West Virginia Democrat said Monday he agrees with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has advocated banning the sale of assault weapons,” HuffPo reported.
What do you think? Will stricter gun control policies help prevent future massacres?
We never learn from history, and as Saul Alinsky always said, “Never let a good crises go to waste.” Liberal fascists have been wanting to disarm the citizenry of this strong and great country for years now and they’re just about there. The Nazis did it, China has done it, the Soviet Union did it amongst other regimes. Result: somewhere in the vicinity of 56 million un-armed citizens murdered. Hope you’re ready for our turn.
I am surprised that such historical discussions get pushed to the fringes, like we live in some world where these realities are not still going on. Our world is full of unrest, political violence, rising and falling of governments and yet, people pontificate like Romans or Titanic voyagers.
Our constitution was framed on reality not ethereal fantasy, it was also crafted by many devout religious thinkers. Men that would take most of us to the theogolcal, ethical or philosophical woodshed. Yet, if anyone brings up these things today, they are often cast in a paranoid light. Yet, we stand among all these realities today.
If one speaks of the realitiy of the waves of violent oceans but lives in Arizona does it make him a madman?
